  • Images of the U.S. Geological Survey activities performed in 1985 and 1986 for U.S. EPA to evaluate the interconnection between the Aberjona River and the underlying aquifer; the data from the stream gaging and water-level measurements were provided to the parties in the federal trial as uninterpreted hydrogeologic and geologic data
