K.G. Thibodeaux, J. C. Futrell II
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4147
A series of tests to determine the correction coefficients for Price type AA and Price type OAA current meters, when subjected to vertical motion in a towing tank, have been conducted. During these tests, the meters were subjected to vertical travel that ranged from 1.0 to 4.0 ft and vertical...
Effects of land use on ground-water quality in central Florida — Preliminary results: U.S. Geological Survey Toxic Waste — Ground-water Contamination Program
A. T. Rutledge
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4163
Groundwater is the principal source of drinking water in central Florida. The most important hydrogeologic unit is the Floridan aquifer system, consisting of fractured limestone and dolomite limestone. Activities of man in areas of recharge to the Floridian aquifer system that may be affecting groundwater quality include: (1) the use...
Hydrologic effects of artificial-recharge experiments with reclaimed water at East Meadow, Long Island, New York
B.J. Schneider, H. F. Ku, E. T. Oaksford
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4323
Artificial recharge experiments were conducted at East Meadow, Long Island, New York, from October 1982 through January 1984 to evaluate the degree of groundwater mounding and the chemical effects of artificially replenishing the groundwater system with tertiary-treated wastewater. More than 800 million gallons of treated effluent was returned to the...
