“…Two were classified as "separated valleys" because each abuts a large river at one end; they were also subjects of concurrent studies (Reynolds, 1987;VanAlstyne and others, 1982). One was included in two recent areal geohydrologic appraisals (Buller, 1978;Miller and others, 1981). Some lacked roads and were virtually uninhabited and thus offered little opportunity to obtain subsurface information.…”

The bedrock ridges that form the northern divide of the Susquehanna River basin have been breached by glacial erosion in at least 29 localities. The resulting broad valleys, which bisect the drainage divide, are called "through valleys." Through valleys resemble major river valleys in width and in being underlain by a few hundred feet of glacial deposits, including water-yielding sands and gravels. However, they differ from major river valleys in that they are drained only by small headwater streams. Therefore, large temporary ground-water withdrawals are feasible, and such withdrawals during summer or fall would not greatly deplete naturally low streamflow at points downstream because the lowered water table could not induce river water that originated elsewhere to seep into the aquifer. Seasonal withdrawals from through valleys would be limited by three constraints: maximum acceptable lowering of the water table; hydraulic properties of the aquifer, which control well yield and the extent to which ground-water discharge to headwater streams would be reduced; and the degree to which recharge from winter and spring runoff would exceed normal rates as long as the water table remained below normal.

Eleven heavily used surficial-deposit aquifers in New York were mapped in 1981 to provide a basis for their protection from contamination, particularly through underground disposal of wastes. The resulting maps and sections, originally prepared and released by the U.S. Geological Survey at a scale of 1:24,000, are presented herein at a reduced scale and in simplified form. Each illustration is accompanied by a short text describing the major features and hydrologic characteristics of the given aquifer. The areas mapped are Schenectady,
