Ground-water resources of the Erie-Niagara basin, New York

Abstract

The Erie-Niagara basin, New York, borders Lake Erie and the Niagara River and includes the principal part of their drainage basin in New York. The area extends from the Cattaraugus Creek basin on the south to the Tonawanda Creek basin on the north. The northern part of the area and a narrow belt along Lake Erie are in the Erie-Ontario Lowlands, a region of low relief. The remainder of the area lies in the Appalachian Uplands, an area of considerable relief.
