Abstract

An evaluation was made of the potential for potable-water supplies at 13 sites in or near Redwood National Park, Calif. The National Park Service is planning for the development of visitor facilities at these sites. At some sites, the report recommends using surface-water diversions. At other sites, locations are given for test-well drilling or springs are recommended for development. Chemical analyses of water are given for selected surface-water supplies and for some existing wells and springs. The chemical quality of the water is suitable at most of the sites, although concentrations of iron and chloride are excessively high in some areas.
