Relation of water level and fish availability to wood stork reproduction in the southern Everglades, Florida
The wood stork is a species of colonial wading bird in the Everglades that is most sensitive to changes in the availability of food. Previous studies have shown that the initiation and success of wood stork nesting depends on high densities of fish concentrated in ponds and other catchment basins during the dry season. The extreme dependence of the wood stork on the cyclic hydrologic regime of the

Salt-water movement in the lower Withlacoochee River-Cross Florida Barge Canal Complex
Construction of the west end of the Cross Florida Barge Canal changed the regimen of the lower Withlacoochee River. The investigation was made to determine how salt water from the Gulf of Mexico moves in the river-canal complex, and how the factors that control salt-water movement--tides and discharge--have changed since canal construction. In the river below the bypass channel, salt water moves i

Climate and streamflow of Puerto Rico
The presently available data on streamflow, runoff rainfall, and temperature of Puerto Rico are evaluated, although the period of record is very short, with a view to contributing to the knowledge of hydrology of tropical islands. The average annual streamflow in Puerto Rico is 45 percent of the annual rainfall, or 15 percent more than in the eastern piedmont of the U.S. where it is 30 percent. Cl

Fluctuations of ground-water levels in Puerto Rico resulting from earthquakes (1959-1961)
During the Chilean earthquake of May 22, 1960, intensity 8.5, 4 of 8 wells in Puerto Rico equipped with automatic recorders, recorded seismic fluctuations. The maximum double amplitude, 0.05 ft, was recorded at a well in bedrock near Coamo. Double amplitudes in 3 other wells ranged from slightly less than .01 to .02 ft. Following the Puerto Rico earthquake of Aug. 2, 1961, intensity about 5.5, sei

Geology of the western Everglades area, southern Florida
IntroductionDuring 1950, a series of 43 test wells 30 feet deep were drilled by the United States Corps of Engineers along the western edge of the Everglades from the Tamiami Canal northward to the Caloosahatchee River. The cores obtained from the wells afford geologic data along a line from the lower Everglades of Dade County, where both the geology and water resources have been investigated, to
