L. A. Bradner
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4002
The Lake Miona area, in northeast Sumter County, is characterized by karstic depressions that contain lakes, ponds, and marshes that drain vertically to the upper Floridan aquifer. Lake Miona, Black Lake, and Cherry Lake are the prominent water features of the area. When the lake levels are lowest, the lakes...
Potentiometric-surface map of the Wyodak-Anderson coal bed, Powder River structural basin, Wyoming, 1973-84
Pamela B. Daddow
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4305
Previous water level maps of shallow aquifers in the Powder River structural basin in Wyoming were based on water levels from wells completed in different stratigraphic intervals within thick sequences of sedimentary rocks. A potentiometric surface using water levels from a single aquifer had never been mapped throughout the basin....

Maps showing altitude of the potentiometric surface and changes in water levels in the aquifer in the Sparta and Memphis Sands in eastern Arkansas, spring 1985
Joe Edds, D. J. Fitzpatrick
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4084
Aquifers in the Tertiary Sparta and Memphis Sands are a major source of water supply for much of eastern and south-central Arkansas. Major withdrawals occur from the aquifer for industrial and public supply, with generally lesser but locally significant amounts withdrawn for agricultural uses. Water level data from wells tapping...
Ground-water availability in the eastern part of the Lake Ontario Basin, New York
Todd S. Miller
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4201
A set of three maps show surficial geology, significant unconsolidated aquifers and well yield, and selected well locations for the Lake Ontario basin, New York. In the low areas , glaciers and wave action of former high-level lakes deposited permeable sand and gravel to form aquifers that yield more than...
Potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer system in the Northwest Florida Water Management District, May 1985
Jack C. Rosenau, Paul E. Meadows
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4183
The potentiometric surface map of the Floridan aquifer system in the northwest Florida Water Management District depicts the level to which water rose in tightly cased wells that tap the Floridan aquifer system in May 1985. The surface was mapped by determining the altitude of water levels in a network...
Subsurface injection of liquid waste with emphasis on injection practices in Florida
John J. Hickey, John Vecchioli
1986, Water Supply Paper 2281
Subsurface injection of liquid waste is used as a disposal method in many parts of the country. It is used particularly when other methods for managing liquid waste are either not possible or too costly. Interest in subsurface injection as a waste-disposal method stems partly from recognition that surface disposal...
