Hydrogeological Model
Rainfall, drifting in from the Atlantic Ocean to the West, falls on the uplands of Carrigkerry and Knockaderry before infiltrating into the ground as recharge and moving downgradient to the source.
The groundwater, over the hundreds of years, moves from the East and West through fissures and faults in the limestones and dolomites beneath thick glacial and alluvial deposits.
The water percolates downwards beneath the protective strata of Namurian shales, picking up calcium and magnesium, potassium and sulphates, bicarbonate and other salts.
The groundwater eventually emerges in the Ballygowan source in the centre of the Newcastle West syncline.
