Origin and Evolution of Dry Valleys South of Ronkonkoma Moraine
with few tributaries. The north-south valleys are clearly visible on a digital elevation model (DEM) of Long Island (Figure 1). These valleys are dry upstream. However further downstream water is present where the bottom of the valleys intersect the water table. We have named the Dry Valleys based o...
