Hydrogeology, karst, and groundwater availability of Monroe County, West Virginia

Abstract

and past and present members of the Monroe County Commission-especially Donald J. Evans the Monroe County Clerk and Clyde Gum, County Commissioner of Monroe County-for their assistance in providing support to bring this study to fruition. Harold "Rocky" Parsons and Howard "Howdy" Henritz are also acknowledged for assisting with field reconnaissance of study sites and sampling of the sites for the dye-tracer tests discussed in this report, while providing communication with local landowners to access property for data collection activities for this investigation. Rocky and Howdy devoted countless hours of their time voluntarily supporting the USGS in this study, and the USGS thanks them for their assistance. Finally, the USGS would like to acknowledge the residents of Monroe County who allowed access to their wells, for water-level measurements, and land, for dye-tracer tests, geologic mapping, and base-flow stream surveys.
