GM18 Geologic Map of the Bethany Beach and Assawoman Bay Quadrangles, Delaware
The geologic history of the surficial units of the Bethany Beach and Assawoman Bay Quadrangles is that of deposition of the Beaverdam Formation and its subsequent modification by erosion and deposition related to sea-level fluctuations during the Pleistocene. The geology reflects this complex history onshore, in Indian River Bay and Assawoman Bay, and offshore in the Atlantic Ocean.
HM11 Ground-Water Recharge Potential Kent County, Delaware
The ground-water recharge potential map of Kent County, Delaware, is a compilation of 1:24,000-scale maps of the water-transmitting properties of sediments in the interval between land surface and 20 ft below land surface. Water-transmitting properties are a key factor in determining the amount of water that recharges Delawareâs aquifers and the susceptibility of aquifers used as sources of water supply to contamination from near-surface pollutant sources.
