of the fastest growing suburban areas in central Middlesex County is East Brunswick Township. Located inland south of the Raritan River, it runs parallel to the South River on its

lot going on that is not readily apparent - this occurs in its natural ecosystem. Ecosystem: water: The United States Geological Survey, in
cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, has created a statewide water-use data base. Developers and government agencies use the data base as a basis for effective decision
making regarding the use of the States water resources. New Jerseys water resources are constantly being strained by the competing needs of the growing population, agriculture, industry, and recreation.
The USGS collects, stores, and disseminates streamflow, ground-water-level, including information on East Brunswicks own Raritan River, and on and water-quality data from
statewide networks. Streamflow data are used by water- and emergency-management authorities and regulatory agencies to forecast floods, to manage reservoirs, and to ensure compliance with legal minimum streamflow requirements. Water-quality
data are used by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in the enforcement of the New Jersey Water Quality Planning Act and the Clean Water Act. These Acts are
aimed at ensuring the continued availability of safe drinking-water supplies and lakes and streams that are safe for swimming and fishing. The networks consist of 231 streamflow-measurement sites, 222 ground-water-level-measurement
sites, 94 surface-water- quality sites, and 49 ground-water-quality sites. During 1989--90, statewide use of surface and ground waters averaged 1,680 and 561 million gallons per day, respectively (USGS FS
