Geospatial Dataset of Water-table and Potentiometric-surface altitudes in the Upper Glacial, Magothy, and Lloyd Aquifers of Long Island, New York, April-May 2010
This data release contains geospatial data defining estimates of the depth to water and water-table altitude in the upper glacial and Magothy Aquifers, the potentiometric surface of the confined Magothy and Jameco Aquifers, and the potentiometric surface of the Lloyd and North Shore Aquifers on Long Island, New York. Estimates are based on 502 water-level measurements made in wells across Long Island during April-May 2010. Water-table contours were interpolated using measurements from 349 wells screened in the upper glacial aquifer or shallow Magothy Aquifer. Potentiometric-surface contours in the confined Magothy and hydraulically connected Jameco Aquifer were interpolated using measurements from 94 wells. Potentiometric-surface contours in the Lloyd and North Shore Aquifer were interpolated from measurements at 59 wells screened in those aquifers.
