Unity College Water Supply Wells
      The town of Unity does not have a municipal water supply system, so water is supplied by wells serving individual buildings or one or more buildings.  Downtown Unity is built on a sand and gravel aquifer, shown in tan; this aquifer was deposited by glacial meltwater approximately 20,000 years ago, and many wells draw water from this aquifer.  Outside of the sand and gravel aquifer, wells are drilled into bedrock to provide water.  Unity College is located on a hill southwest of town, and its water is provided by a number of bedrock wells located on the campus.  Students in the Environmental Geology class are studying the construction and location of these wells to identify possible threats to the campus water supply, and to reduce the risks posed by these threats.  Check back before the end of the term to learn what they found!
