Records of wells and springs, water levels, and quality of ground water in central Pierce County, Washington

Hydrogeologic framework, groundwater movement, and water budget in the Chambers-Clover Creek watershed and vicinity, Pierce County, Washington

“…Groundwater discharge occurs at numerous springs in the study area, and spring locations and discharge have been previously reported in several studies (Blair, 1929;Sceva and others, 1955;Walters and Kimmel, 1968;Jones and others, 1999). The total previously reported discharge of springs in the area is about 110 ft 3 /s (80,000 acre-ft/yr).…”

“…A field inventory of springs was not conducted during this investigation. Descriptions of spring locations and historical discharge provided by Blair (1929), Sceva and others (1955), Walters and Kimmel (1968), and Jones and others (1999) were evaluated.…”

Hydrogeologic framework, groundwater movement, and water budget in the Puyallup River Watershed and vicinity, Pierce and King Counties, Washington

“…Groundwater discharge occurs at numerous springs in the study area. Locations for 245 springs, and discharge at 119 locations have been previously reported in several studies (Blair, 1929;Sceva and others, 1955;Walters and Kimmel, 1968;Luzier, 1969;others, 1999, Savoca andothers, 2010), and records compiled by the Washington State Department of Health (2014), Robinson Noble, Inc. (Burt Clothier, written commun., 2014), and local municipalities and public water systems. The total of all previously reported discharge of springs in the study area is about 111 ft 3 /s (80,300 acre-ft/yr).…”

Hydrogeologic framework of the Willamette Lowland aquifer system, Oregon and Washington

“…1) to show the regional configuration of the flow system during late summer to early fall conditions, when the water table is at the seasonal low. Water-level data listed in many previous reports were included so that an adequate areal distribution could be achieved (Foxworthy and others, 1964;Frank and Johnson, 1970, 1972,1975Hampton, 1963;Helm, 1968;Price, 1961;Price and Johnson, 1965;Sceva and DeBow, 1966). Because the ground-water flow in the Columbia River basalt aquifer is varied and complex and there is a lack of regional water-level data (both areal and vertical), the flow system of this aquifer is only briefly described.…”
