Potential for water-quality degradation of interconnected aquifers in west-central Florida
P. A. Metz, D. L. Brendle
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4030
Thousands of deep artesian wells were drilled into the Upper Floridan aquifer in west-central Florida prior to well-drilling regulations adopted in the 1970's. The wells were usually completed with a short length of casing through the unconsolidated sediments and were left open to multiple aquifers containing water of varying quality....
Lake-level frequency analysis for Devils Lake, North Dakota
Gregg J. Wiche, Aldo V. Vecchia
1996, Water Supply Paper 2469
Two approaches were used to estimate future lake-level probabilities for Devils Lake. The first approach is based on an annual lake-volume model, and the second approach is based on a statistical water mass-balance model that generates seasonal lake volumes on the basis of seasonal precipitation, evaporation, and inflow. Autoregressive moving...

The extent and areal density of riparian vegetation, including both phreatophytes and hydrophytes, were mapped along the 100-mile main stem of the Mojave River during 1995. Mapping was aided by vertical false-color infrared and low-level oblique photographs. However, positive identification of plant species and plant physiological stress required field examination....

Susceptibility of ground water to surface and shallow sources of contamination in Mississippi
Charles G. O'Hara
1996, Hydrologic Atlas 739
Ground water, because of its extensive use in agriculture, industry, and public-water supply, is one of Mississippi's most important natural resources. Ground water is the source for about 80 percent of the total freshwater used by the State's population (Solley and others, 1993). About 2,600 Mgal/d of freshwater is withdrawn...
