Detailed Summary

Based on well logs from the Brussels region and immediate surrounds, the most representative geologic sequence is a surface layer of clay (commonly 10–80 ft thick, sometimes with sand or gravel), possibly with discrete gravel/hardpan intervals. This is consistently underlain by massive limestone or dolomite that extends through the bottom of typical residential and public wells, at least down to ~310 ft where logs terminate. Static water levels average between 15 and 80 ft below grade, with most wells drawing from 150–310 ft depths. A typical residential well (5–15+ GPM) is screened or open in the limestone at ~180–250 ft, with higher capacity wells reaching ~300+ ft. Shale or other minor beds are rarely encountered and do not warrant representation in the averaged model.
