Hydrogeology and Water Supply Wells, Catoctin Mountain Park

Martin L. 2007. Hydrogeology and Water Supply Wells, Catoctin Mountain Park. NPS/NRPC/WRD/NRTR—2007/374. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado

This report summarizes the hydrogeology and the history of well drilling in the park. Although there appears to be no definite pattern or geologic conditions that will insure successful well drilling, the chances for success can be improved by locating future wells on the east side of perennial streams to take advantage of the streams as a potential source of groundwater recharge.
