Vertical displacement measurements in Central California with a long-baseline two-fluid tiltmeter
Howard C. Merchant
1981, Open-File Report 81-885
The need for a water-tube tiltmeter and the details of its operation were covered by Eaton [1] in 1959. Since that time more modern instrumentation has allowed modification and further development beyond the basic single-tube fluid tiltmeter with a mechanical surface sensor. A number of instruments are discussed in connection...

Land application of domestic wastewater in Florida--statewide assessment of impact on ground-water quality
Bernard J. Franks
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-3
In Florida domestic waste water is being applied to the land for disposal and reuse. State and Federal regulations favor land-application methods over other advanced waste water treatment practices. Despite the increasing use of this alternative technology, little is known about localized effects on groundwater quality. This report documents the...
