Bibliography of Vancouver Lake watershed, including Burnt Bridge Creek, Flushing Channel, Lake River, and Salmon Creek

A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

Mundorff, M.J. 1959. Geology and Ground-Water Resources of Clark County, Washington with a Description of a Major Alluvial Aquifer Along the Columbia River. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Geological Survey. (Open-file Report).

This report represents the results of an investigation of the groundwater resources of the populated parts of Clark County. The investigation was undertaken initially at the request of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and later expanded as a part of the program in cooperation between the Washington State Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

The important conclusions of the report are that yields adequate for irrigation can be botained from wells in most farmed areas in Clark County. The total available supply is sufficient for all foreseeable irrigation developments. In a few local areas aquifers are fine-grained, and yields of individal wells are low.

An enormous ground-water supply is available from aquifers underlying the flood plain of the Columbia River in the vicinity of Vancouver, Camas, and Washougal, where aquifers are recharged, in part, by infiltration from the river. Yields of individual wells are large, ranging up to 4,000 gpm (gallons per minute).
