Abstract:
The Highlands Council has determined Prime Ground Water Recharge areas based upon a method known as GSR-32, which was developed by the New Jersey Geological Survey to map ground water recharge areas. Prime Ground Water Recharge Areas are those areas that most efficiently provide 40 percent or more of the total recharge volume for each HUC14 subwatershed, using the GSR-32 with 2002 land use/land cover data.
This dataset has been updated and 2007 Land Use Land Cover codes have been removed from the original Prime Ground Water Recharge Areas.
Purpose:
The Prime Ground Water Recharge Area was developed to delineate coverage of which depicts areas of recharge volume efficiency within the NJ Highlands Region for implementation of the NJ Highlands Regional Master Plan.
Supplemental_Information:
The GSR-32 method uses precipitation, surface runoff, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture deficit information to estimate recharge rates. It is highly dependent on available information regarding soils, precipitation patterns and land cover to differentiate and rank the recharge capacity of various land areas within a geographic area. Given that aquifers and streams are most stressed during drought periods, and that the Highlands Council method for defining available water supplies is based upon data for low flows, the Plan uses drought rainfall estimates as the basis for mapping prime recharge areas.
This dataset has been updated and 2007 Land Use Land Cover developed codes have been removed from the original Prime Ground Water Recharge Areas.
Developed LU Codes are:
1110, 1120, 1130, 1140, 1150, 1200, 1300, 1500, 1600, 7300, 1211, 1400, 1410, 1419, 1440, 1810, 1462, 1463, 1499, 1710, 1800, 1804
