Groundwater Flow and Recharge in Coastal Plain Aquifers - Explained #125992 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram depicts a coastal plain hydrogeologic system where precipitation infiltrates at higher elevations (recharge zone), percolates through sedimentary aquifers and confining units, and flows toward the ocean via a volcanic-rock drinking-water aquifer. Water emerges at a spring and discharges into Waikēle Stream, while the water table sits above the deeper aquifer layers. Arrows show the direction of aquifer flow and groundwater discharge to the surface water body.
