FIGURES

1. Map showing location and physical setting of the four ponds that form Lake Cochituate (South, Carling, Middle, and North), Natick public-supply wellfields, and the U.S. Army facility, Natick, Massachusetts
2. Ground-penetrating radar record and interpretation (line of section A-A'shown on pl. 1), South Pond of Lake Cochituate
3. Continuous seismic-reflection record and interpretation (line of section B-B' shown on pl. 1), South Pond of Lake Cochituate
4. Orthophotomap showing location of Natick Springvale public-supply wells, data-collection network, and selected observation wells and borings, South Pond of Lake Cochituate
5. Graph showing daily pumping rates for each active public-supply well—NCW1, NCW2, and NCW3-—and total daily pumping rate at the Natick Springvale wellfield from January 1998 to July 1999, South Pond of Lake Cochituate
6. Cross section showing lithology, public-supply wells, data-collection network and water levels on November 16, 1998 (line of section C-C' shown in fig. 4), South Pond of Lake Cochituate
7. Hydrograph showing stage of South Pond and water levels in pond-bottom piezometers, Lake Cochituate
8-12. Graphs showing:
8. (A) Temperature of South Pond adjacent to NCW83, (B) measured bihourly temperature profiles in NCW83 for the 24-hour period beginning at 2 p.m. September 18, 1998, and (C) simulated temperature envelopes for vertical flow rates of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 feet per day, Lake Cochituate
9. (A) Temperature of South Pond adjacent to NCW85, (B) measured bihourly temperature profiles in NCW85 for the 24-hour period beginning at 1 a.m. October 17, 1998, and (C) simulated temperature envelopes for vertical flow rates of 0, 0.5, 1.0 feet per day, Lake Cochituate

10.

Temporal variation in delta oxygen-18 of pond water, ground water, water from observation wells between South Pond and Natick Springvale wellfield, and water from the public-supply wells, February 1998 to July 1999, Lake Cochituate
11. Relation between delta oxygen-18 and delta deuterium in pond water, ground water, and water from the public-supply wells, South Pond of Lake Cochituate, and the local meteoric water line for Concord, Massachusetts, 1998-99
12. Mixing line based on a two-component mixing model using average isotope values for pond water, ground water, and water from the public-supply wells. Mixing-line result and uncertainty analysis indicate that 64 percent ±15 percent at the 95-percent confidence interval of water withdrawn at the Natick Springvale public-supply wells is derived from pond water
