Contamination potential in the Silurian Dolomite aquifer, eastern Wisconsin
M.G. Sherrill
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-108
The Silurian dolomite aquifer is used for water supply in much of a 14-county area bordering Lake Michigan in eastern Wisconsin. Because of the rapidity of ground-water movement, the aquifer is susceptible to contamination by waters percolating downward from surface sources. Maps showing the distribution of permeability, the thickness of...
