Herman and others summarize the significant aquifers of New Jersey.Three of the wells are completed in the unconfined parts of the sand and gravel aquifers of the New Jersey Coastal Plain namely the Kirkwood Cohansey aquifer system and the english town aquifer system. Further information about the aquifers of the Coastal Plain can be found in Zapecza 1989. One well is completed in a stratified drift in northern New Jersey. Water levels have been collected at these seven sites for periods that range from 11 to 78 years these wells are deper.
The fractures in the bedrock are connected to the land surface therefore, water levels respond quickly to precipitation.Three of the wells are completed in bedrock in northern New Jersey, namely the Passaic Formation  Stockton Formation n the Bossardsville Limestone.
