Ground-water-level fluctuations in Wasatch Front landslides and adjacent slopes, northern Utah (OFR-448)
By: F. X. Ashland, R. E. Giraud, and G. N. McDonald We monitored ground-water levels in and adjacent to five Wasatch Front landslides to document seasonal and intermediate-term ground-water-level fluctuations that can be used to estimate design ground-water levels in landslide- and slope-stability analyses....
