Observation-well network for collection of ground-water level data in Massachusetts
Roy S. Socolow
1994, Fact Sheet 017-94
Aquifers--water-bearing deposits of sand and gravel, glacial till, and fractured bedrock--provide an extensive and readily accessible ground-water supply in Massachusetts. Ground water affects our everyday lives, not just in terms of how much water is available, but also in terms of the position of ground-water levels in relation to land...

Comparison of vertical discretization techniques in finite-difference models of ground-water flow; example from a hypothetical New England setting
Philip T. Harte
1994, Open-File Report 94-343
Proper discretization of a ground-water-flow field is necessary for the accurate simulation of ground-water flow by models. Although discretiza- tion guidelines are available to ensure numerical stability, current guidelines arc flexible enough (particularly in vertical discretization) to allow for some ambiguity of model results. Testing of two common types of...
