| Abstract: | A map showing the potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer in southern Maryland during the fall of 1988 was prepared from water-level measurements in 83 observation wells. The potentiometric surface was highest near the northwest boundary and outcrop area of the aquifer in topographically high locations of Anne Arundel and Prince Georges Counties. The hydraulic gradient in the study area was generally southeastward or toward the centers of three cones of depression that have developed in response to pumping stresses. These cones formed around well fields in the Annapolis, Waldorf, and Chalk Point areas. The potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer was more than 40 ft below sea level in parts of the Waldorf and Chalk Point areas. (USGS) |
