Upper Brunswick Aquifer
The water level in the upper Brunswick aquifer was monitored in four wells in 1999 and data for three of these wells are available as PDF files, accessible by clicking on the well number in the map below or from Table 3b. The upper Brunswick aquifer responds to pumping from the Upper Floridan aquifer as a result of the hydraulic connection between the aquifers (Clarke and others, 1990, p. 28). Elsewhere, the water level mainly responds to seasonal variations in recharge and discharge.
The upper Brunswick aquifer in Bulloch County is under unconfined to semiconfined conditions and is influenced by variations in recharge from precipitation and by pumping from the Upper Floridan aquifer (Clarke and others, 1990, p. 28). In the Wayne and Glynn County areas, the upper Brunswick aquifer is confined and responds to nearby pumping (Clarke and others, 1990, p. 28).

but is within the area of Miocene deposits shown.)
