Field Investigation in an Estuary: A Case Study of Cooper River/Charleston Harbor
In 1942, the flow of the Cooper/Ashley/Wando (South Carolina) River complex was altered by a flow diversion project. Subsequently, Charleston Harbor suffered a dramatic increase in maintenance...
Sediment Survey of Lake Powell
The 1986 Lake Powell Sediment Survey documented the present storage-elevation relationship and loss of storage from sediment accumulation since the reservoir began filling. From the calculated...
3-Dimensional Groundwater Modeling of the West Coast Basin Barrier
This paper describes a practical application of groundwater modeling of seawater intrusion in southern California. The West Coast Basin is one of the major groundwater reservoirs underlying...
Carbonyl Extraction of Lunar and Asteroidal Metals
The century-old Mond process for carbonyl extraction of metals from ore shows great promise as an efficient, low energy scheme for producing high-purity Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn, and Co from lunar...

Benefits and Risks of Artificial Recharge of Saline Aquifers
Artificial recharge of saline aquifers by deep well injection of treated effluents is attractive, as it provides a solution to an environmental problem, and possibly creates groundwater...
Planning Ground Water Recharge in Scottsdale, Arizona
Mined ground water has historically supplied the municipal water needs of the City of Scottsdale. State enactment of stringent ground water legislation has mandated an eventual termination...
Ground Water Recharge at United Water Conservation District, Ventura County, California
For more than 60 years United Water Conservation District and its predecessor district have recharged seven ground water basins in Ventura County, California with more than 2,100,000 acre...
Optimizing Limited Water Resources Through Conjunctive Use
The City of Santa Barbara is faced with potential water supply deficiency caused by decreasing supplies and a mild increase in demand. This paper discusses some of the results of a study...
Artificial Recharge to the Floridan Aquifer System, Orlando Area, Central Florida
Approximately 400 drainage wells exist in Orange County, central Florida. The rate of recharge through drainage wells is limited by the rate of surface flow to the wells; the hydraulic...
A Review of Factors Affecting Recovery of Freshwater Stored in Saline Aquifers
