1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-80
Maps showing the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer for May 1975, and changes of potentiometric surface from 1964 to 1975 were prepared for areas in southwest Florida. Contours and color codes describe water-level changes. The larger map, scale 1:500,000, reflects the water-level changes from 1969-75. The smaller map shows...
Model analysis of effects on water levels at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by construction dewatering
James R. Marie
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-82
Two computer models were developed to investigate possible hydrologic effects within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by planned dewatering at the adjacent Bailly Nuclear Generator construction site. The dewatering, which is scheduled to last for about 18 months, would cause ground-water levels to be drawn down 20 to 30...
Erosional landform map of the Redwood Creek drainage basin, Humboldt County, California, 1947-74
K.M. Nolan, D.M. Harden, Steven M. Colman
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-42
Landslides and actively eroding stream channels disrupt roads, damage valuable timberland, and increase stream sediment loads in northwestern California. This 1:62,500 photointerpretative map shows the distribution of ten common types of fluvial and mass-movement erosional landforms in the drainage basin of Redwood Creek in 1947 and 1974. The mapped landforms...

Recycling ground water in Waushara County, Wisconsin : resource management for cold-water fish hatcheries
R.P. Novitzki
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-20
Recycling water within the local ground-water system can increase the quantity of water available for use, control or avoid environmental pollution, and control temperature of the water supply. Pumped ground water supplied a fish-rearing facility for 15 months, and the waste water recharged the local ground-water system through an infiltration...
