From lbarnes@primeline.com Tue Jan 26 17:26:29 1999 Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 14:38:06 -0500 From: lbarnes Reply-To: permaculture To: permaculture Subject: [permaculture] ground water info Dear Permaculturists, Reading Frank's and others questions about farm water supplies led me to post some refs. I'm an avid dowser and have been adding to my knowledge and experience. There's a great site at US Geological Service (http://www.usgs.gov/) which has links to lots of water info. I've just found the down-loadable "The Groundwater Atlas to the United States" at (http://www.capp.er.usgs.gov/publicdocs/gwa) which describes basic ground water conditions in 14 areas of the country. Two great books are: 1979 Midwest Plan Service, "Private Water Systems Handbook, MWPS-14" (ISBN 0-89373-045-9)(72 pages) - covers water quality, sources, pumps, piping, water treatment, etc; and 1982 National Water Well Association "Ground Water Hydrology for Water Well Contractors"(286 pages) which is a nicely illustrated text covering geology, hydrology, and regional ground water discriptions. Anyone interested about dowsing, whether for water or lost treasure, contact me privately at lbarnes@primeline.com. --- You are currently subscribed to permaculture as: london@metalab.unc.edu To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-permaculture-75156P@franklin.oit.unc.edu
