'In the conceptual ground-water-flow system at the Station, ground
water flows downward from the Columbia aquifer in the recharge
areas to and through the Cornwallis Cave and (or) Yorktown-Eastover
aquifers to the discharge areas (seeps, springs, streams, and
estuaries). A ground-water divide trends west to east across the
south central Station in each of the lower two shallow aquifers.
Ground-water flow generally is either north toward the York River
estuary or south toward the James River estuary on opposite sides
of the divide'.
Greenhouse effect, sea level rise, and coastal wetlands. / : James G Titus et al.
- Washington, D.C. : U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1988. - 168 s.

'Increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases released by
human activities are generally expected to warm the earth a few degrees (C) in the next century
by a mechanism commonly known as the "greenhouse effect." Such a warming could raise sea
level by expanding ocean water, melting mountain glaciers, and eventually causing polar ice
sheets to slide into the oceans. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to accurately predict future
sea level. Estimates for the year 2025 range from five to fifteen inches above current sea level,
while estimates of the rise by 2100 range from two to seven feet. Although the timing and
magnitude of future sea level rise is uncertain, there is an emerging scientific consensus that a
significant rise is likely.
To further society's understanding of how to rationally respond to the possibility of a substantial
rise in sea level, EPA has undertaken assessments of the impacts of sea level rise on
economic development, beach erosion control strategies, salinity of estuaries and aquifers, and
coastal drainage and sewage systems. Those studies have generally found that even a one-foot
rise in sea level has important implications for the planning and design of coastal facilities.
This report examines the potential impacts of sea level rise on coastal wetlands in the
United States. Coastal marshes and swamps are generally within a few feet of sea level, and
hence could be lost if sea level rises significantly. Although new wetlands could form where new
areas are flooded, this cannot happen where the land adjacent to today's wetlands is developed
and protected from the rising sea. Once built, neighborhoods can be expected to last a century
or longer. Therefore, today's coastal development could limit the ability of coastal wetlands to
survive sea level rise in the next century.'

The Great
Plains is a vast expanse of glasslands stretching from the
Rocky Mountains to the Missouri River and from the Rio Grande to
the coniferous forests of Canada—an area more than eighteen
hundred miles from north to south and more than five hundred miles
from east to west. The Great Plains region includes all or parts of
Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and
Manitoba. The region, once labeled "the Great American Desert (See:
Excerpt From "The Plow That Broke The Plains": Producer: Pare
Lorenz, 1936.
- http://www.archive.org/details/PlowThatBrokethePlains1),"
is now more often called the "heart-land," or, sometimes, "the
breadbasket of the world." /

The northern Great Plains of Canada and the
United States cover thousands of square miles. This
true-color Aqua MODIS image from May 3, 2005, shows a portion of
the Great Plains covering Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and a small slice
of Ontario, Canada, and Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming,
and South Dakota in the United States. Scattered across the region
are thousands of lakes ranging in color from deep blue-green and
black to milky blue, tan, and even white. In the northern part of
the image, many of the lakes are white because their surfaces are
still frozen from the cold winter, and spring temperatures have not
risen enough to thaw them completely. The largest lake in the
scene, Lake Winnipeg, shows the greatest amount of surface ice,
while the clear water at its northern end shows swirls of milky tan
sediment. To the east, Lake Manitoba is ice free, but also shows
swirls of cloudy sediment in its waters. -
