| 摘要： | Water-control works constructed north of the Everglades National Park since its establishment have changed the amount and seasonal distribution of water replenishment to the Park from the north. A long period of below average rainfall on the Park since 1961, superimposed on the effects of the man-made works has resulted in hydrologic conditions that the U.S. National Park Service considers detrimental to the plant and animal life in the Park. The feasibility of maintaining certain hydrologic conditions by artificial development and control of water at selected areas in the Park is now being studied by the U. S. National Park Service. One plan under consideration involves furnishing water at the rate of 100 cfs (cubic feet per second) to the upper part of the Shark River Slough in the northeast area of the Park during critical dry periods. In connection with this study the National Park Service requested the U.S. Geological Survey to determine if a proposed water-collection gallery, about 4000 feet long near the northeast corner of the Park, could yield water at a rate of 100 cfs continuously for as long as 100 days. The 100-cfs rate is equal to about 4 times the minimum monthly surface-water inflow toward the Park, and about one-third the average annual surface flow toward the Park as determined from discharge measurements made before construction of control works immediately north of the Park. The site at the northeast corner of the boundary of the Park was selected because it was presumed that most of the water pumped from a gallery there would receive replenishment by ground-water flow from Conservation Area 3A where the water levels are generally higher than those in the Park. However, core holes and other information furnished by the Corps of Engineers indicated that the transmissibility of the water-table aquifer at the northeast corner of the Park might not be adequate to permit sufficient quantities of water to be induced to a gallery of reasonable dimensions from Conservation Area 3A. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with National Park Service, Tallahassee, FL.
