Click for the 1983 Extensive clay unit report.
The report explores the clay beneath mid-Suffolk A/K/A
“Smithtown
Clay”. Clay can create a higher water pressure above the clay than below. Water
seeks to equalize this pressure. To accomplish this water
will flow horizontally over the clay until it reaches the lowest
level of water pressure. The Smithtown Clay tilts
from north to south. The southern end of the Smithtown Clay ends at Lake Ronkonkoma. The horizontal flow of water above the clay can
cause the ground water to rise and mound in low-lying
areas.. A
significant removal of clay in the correct location(s) on a clay lens may
relive the water pressure above the clay resulting in the water above the clay
draining into the surface below the clay to equalize pressure.
