Ground-water monitoring at Santa Barbara, California; Phase 2-effects of pumping on water levels and water quality in the Santa Barbara ground-water basins
Peter Martin
1982, Open-File Report 82-366
From July 1978 to January 1980, water levels declined more than 100 feet in the southern part of the Santa Barbara ground-water basin. The water-level declines are the result of increases in municipal pumping since July 1978. The increase in municipal pumping was part of a basin-testing program to determine...

Program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina
Hugh B. Wilder, Clyde E. Simmons
1982, Water Supply Paper 2185-A
The design and objectives of the program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina are described. Using water-quality and streamflow data collected since the 1940?s, a study is underway to define certain variations in water quality, to quantify the effects of man?s activities on water quality, and to determine long-term...
Water-quality characteristics of streams in forested and rural areas of North Carolina
Clyde E. Simmons, Ralph C. Heath
1982, Water Supply Paper 2185-B
Data collected in North Carolina during 1973-78 from a statewide network of 39 rural sampling sites were used to define unpolluted or baseline stream quality. The basins were 90 to 100 percent forested and, except for the unknown effects of air pollution, were relatively unaffected by man 's activities. Five...
