... were drawn down such that pumping was required. At the present time, additional water supplies come from as far away as 640 km (400 mi). Excessive pumping of ground water from four major aquifers has caused salt-water intrusion inland from the Pacific Ocean. Injection programs, in force since 1970...

...J.A. Heathcote; R.T. Lewis; J.S. Sutton Abstract The Cardiff Bay Barrage has raised the mean water level in Cardiff Bay by 4.2 m. When the scheme was proposed, there were concerns that this rise in base level would cause a corresponding rise in shallow groundwater levels, impacting housing in south...

... of such systems was made by the City Engineer's office and a complete plan made for San Francisco. The earlier idea "of using salt water pumped directly from the Bay to the fire was abandoned in favor of fresh water with gravity flow" from reservoirs, with provision for use of salt water only in case of a general...

... restored by pumping out the saltwater. Restoration was limited by the availability of equipment, labor, and supplies of critical resources. Sand for concrete to construct schools, hospitals, and housing was in very limited supply. 9 9 2005 17 5 2006 © 2006 Earthquake Engineering Research...

..., which is entirely independent of the water-supply system (fig. Ii), is designed so that it may be supplied with fresh water from a high-level storage reservoir at the top of Twin Peaks, or with salt water drawn from the bay through a remotely situated steam-driven pumping station. The water is available...

Chief Sullivan in 1905 had proposed that the city purchase a reboat, but the request was denied. In 1906 the SFFD had...

... ( G ) from existing dewatering boreholes, we have used values from long-term pumping at six dewatering abstractions ( Table 3 ), which are part of the Cardiff Bay Barrage groundwater control scheme. Long-term groundwater pumping data (Cardiff Harbour Authority, 1999 – 2016) provide evidence...

..., changes in groundwater levels between 2.5 and 3.5 m were measured in the sand and gravel aquifer but were limited to the fringes of Cardiff Bay ( Williams 2008 ). Pumping tests show that the hydraulic conductivity of the sand and gravel aquifer is relatively consistent, with average values of 50 m day −1...
