The Difference Between the Potentiometric Surfaces of the Upper Patapsco Aquifier, September 1990 and September 2003 in Southern Maryland

By Curtin, S.E., Andreasen, D.C., and Wheeler, J.C.

 

Abstract

This report presents a map showing the change in the potentiometric surface of the Upper Patapsco aquifer in the Upper Patapsco Formation of Cretaceous age in Southern Maryland for September 1990 and September 2003. The map, based on water level measurements in 32 wells, shows that during the 13-year period, the potentiometric surface changed from an increase of 6 feet at Arnold, which is located just north of Annapolis, to a decline of 25 feet at Waldorf and Lexington Park and 20 feet at LaPlata and the Chalk Point powerplant.
