A study of natural groundwater storage reservoirs in New England found that upland aquifer systems dominated by thin deposits of surface till — a jumbled, unsorted material deposited by glaciers — make up about 70 percent of the region’s active and dynamic storage. This is the first time that the relative role of upland vs. valley groundwater storage has been quantified.
