Excerpt from Analysis of Stream-Aquifer System Interrelationships in the Big Blue and Little Blue River Basins in Gage and Jefferson Counties, Nebraska Seepage measurements made during the fall of 1978 at 21 sites in the Big Blue River basin and at 35 sites in the Little Blue River basin were used to determine stream gains or losses in 20 drainage areas in the Big Blue River basin and 31 drainage areas in the Little Blue River basin. Analyses of data from these seepage measurements and of available hydrogeologic data indicate that the most significant ground - water contributions to streamflow in the Big Blue and Little Blue River drain age basins in Gage and Jefferson Counties, Nebr., occur where a direct hydraulic connection exists between a stream and buried coarse-grained deposits of Quaternary age. These deposits occur in two buried bedrock valleys that trend east-northeasterly across the area. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
