Feasibility of artificial recharge to the 800-foot sand of the Kirkwood Formation in the coastal plain near Atlantic City, New Jersey
J.E. May
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4063
Renewed development of the Atlantic City area since the mid-1970 's has increased the demand for water. Increased pumpage from the 800-foot sand of the Kirkwood Formation has reversed an antecedent water-level recovery in this aquifer, thus reducing water in storage and increasing the potential for saltwater intrusion. Practicable approaches...

1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4261
The water level of the navigation pools on the Mississippi River are maintained by the operation of tainter and roller gates at the locks and dams. Discharge ratings for the gates on Lock and Dam 14, at Le Claire, Iowa, were developed from current-meter discharge measurements made in the forebays...

1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1692
Maps depicting thicknesses of sedimentary units (isopach maps) are standard tools for interpretation of processes and patterns of sedimentation within basins (Potter and Pettijohn, 1977, p. 283-287). Isopach maps showing the thickness of unconsolidated sedimentary deposits overlying bedrock may help locate sources of aggregate and potential ground-water aquifers. These maps...
