Item Configuration Of The Base And Thickness Of The Unconfined Aquifer In Southeastern Sussex County, Delaware(Newark, DE: Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware, 1983-05) Denver, J.M.The purpose of this study was to map the thickness and the configuration of the base of the unconfined aquifer in southeastern Sussex County, Delaware (figure 1). The unconfined aquifer provides much of the water used in this part of the State and is the first unit to be affected by pollution or waste disposal problems. Contour maps and geologic sections were prepared from available geologic, geophysical, and drillers' logs and previously published reports and maps. Six test holes (figure 1) were drilled to supplement available data. The information in this report will be useful for water-resources planning and for locating water-supply wells in the unconfined aquifer.
