Recent geologic studies on Long Island with respect to ground-water supplies
Recent studies have shown that relatively impermeable clay beds are widespread on Long Island but that erosion channels cutting through them permit restricted recharge of the underlying beds in some parts of the island. Of the more than 200,000,000 gallons of water a day now pumped from wells, about 65 per cent. comes from the surficial beds of Illinoian or Wisconsin age. Because of the restricted recharge of the lower beds and the desirability of saving these beds for use in localities where the upper beds may more easily be contaminated by salt water, any future large developments of ground water should be drawn from the surficial beds.
