Computer modeling of the groundwater flow system underlying the
Beach Point barrier beach was conducted to evaluate the potential
for groundwater to flow toward, and discharge to, the East Harbor
Lagoon under both existing conditions and with increased tidal flow
to the lagoon. The elevation of the water table in the barrier
beach fluctuates in response to tides in Cape Cod Bay. At high
tide, water from the bay infiltrates into the barrier beach,
causing the water table to rise. At low tide, groundwater drains
from the barrier beach to the bay, lowering the water table. The
amplitude of tidal fluctuation of the water table decreases with
increasing distance from the bay.
