Ground-water favorability and surficial geology of the Windham-Freeport area, Maine

This report is one of a series describing the geologic and hydrologic conditions governing the occurrence of ground water in Maine. It is a product of the cooperative program of water-resources investigations between the U.S. Geological Survey and the State of Maine Public Utilities Commission. (See index map.) These reports are intended to provide information for the use of those engaged in water- or land-resources planning or development, and particularly for those wishing to develop water supplies large enough for public, industrial, or commercial use. The magnitude of yields that might be obtained from properly located and constructed wells is indicated by the map showing surficial geology and ground-water favorability (figs. 2, 2a). This map gives a generalized interpretation of observed geologic and hydrologic data; it provides a basis for guiding detailed exploration for ground water but does not eliminate the need for such exploration.
