0023 <br /> This analysis was then used to develop a map of well yield distribution based on <br /> yield alone, and yield by depth. These maps show that there are quantity <br /> "contours" — portions of the County where well yield was likely to fall within a <br /> certain range. From these data, the highest-yielding contours in the County are <br /> an area near the intersection of Dodson's Crossroads and Dairyland Road in <br /> Bingham Township, and in south-central Cedar Grove Township. In these areas, <br /> well yields were from 25 gpm to over 100 gpm. Nearly everywhere else in the <br /> County, well yield was less than 25 gpm (please see Map 4 below). <br /> When adjusted for the difference in well yields by depth of well (Map 5), the <br /> highest contours expand in Bingham to the east and southwest, and in Cedar <br /> Grove to the west and north. <br /> Maps 3 and 4 <br /> Source : Investigation of Ground water Availability and Quality in Orange County, NC, USGS, 2001 <br /> 16 <br />
