Some observations on the ecology and fish management of reservoirs in the United States Some observations on the ecology and fish management of reservoirs in the United States

By 1980 there were 1,608 reservoirs (over 202 ha each) with a surface area of 4 million ha in the United States. Construction of new reservoirs has decreased in recent years because of the lack of suitable sites and the opposition of environmental interests. Reservoirs have characteristics of both lacustrine and riverine ecosystems. Reservoirs have been segmented into riverine...

Hydrologic data from monitoring of saline-water intrusion in the Cape Coral area, Lee County, Florida Hydrologic data from monitoring of saline-water intrusion in the Cape Coral area, Lee County, Florida

As a result of declining water levels and saline-water intrusion in the Cape Coral area, the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the City of Cape Coral established a monitoring well network in Cape Coral and adjacent areas in 1978-79. The network was designed to provide indication of lateral movement of saline water in the upper part of the Hawthorn Formation; to provide trends in...
