| The Gulf Coast Aquifer underlies the District. It is a large, leaky aquifer system that spans along the Gulf of Mexico. The aquifer consists of interbedded deposits of sands, silt and clay. There are four major aquifer formations within the District: the Chicot, Evangeline, Burkeville and Jasper formations. | A representative cross-section of the aquifer depicting the four major aquifer formations in the District is shown right (click image to see a larger version). Select cross-sectional maps and general information regarding the thickness of these formations, their variability and the extent of sand thicknesses have been summarized by Chowdhury and Mace (2003) and Waterstone (2004). This information was used by the District in its approved Groundwater Management Plan. To learn more about the District, its aquifer formations, |
