Coastal ground water at risk — Saltwater contamination at Brunswick, Georgia and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Richard E. Krause, John S. Clarke
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4107
IntroductionSaltwater contamination is restricting the development of ground-water supply in coastal Georgia and adjacent parts of South Carolina and Florida. The principal source of water in the coastal area is the Upper Floridan aquifer—an extremely permeable and high-yielding aquifer—which was first developed in the late 1800s. Pumping from the aquifer...

Simulated effects of pumping irrigation wells on ground-water levels in western Saginaw County, Michigan
Christopher J. Hoard, David B. Westjohn
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4227
Success of agriculture in many areas of Michigan relies on withdrawal of large quantities of ground water for irrigation. In some areas of the State, water-level declines associated with large ground-water withdrawals may adversely affect nearby residential wells. Residential wells in several areas of Saginaw County, in Michigan's east-central Lower...
Hydrology of the coastal springs ground-water basin and adjacent parts of Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus Counties, Florida
Lari A. Knochenmus, Dann K. Yobbi
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4230
The coastal springs in Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus Counties, Florida consist of three first-order magnitude springs and numerous smaller springs, which are points of substantial ground-water discharge from the Upper Floridan aquifer. Spring flow is proportional to the water-level altitude in the aquifer and is affected primarily by the magnitude...
Estimates of nitrogen loads entering Long Island Sound from ground water and streams on Long Island, New York, 1985-96
Michael P. Scorca, Jack Monti Jr.
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4196
Fresh ground water that discharges from the northern part of Long Island's aquifer system to Long Island Sound contains elevated concentrations of nitrogen from agricultural fertilizer, domestic waste and fertilizer, and precipitation. The nitrogen contributes to algal blooms, which consume oxygen as the algae die and decompose. The resulting low...
