Puzzle Directions: Click on a puzzle piece and drag it where you want it. When you connect two pieces correctly, they will join together. This is an extra hard double-sided puzzle. The same map is printed on both sides the pieces. Some of the pieces are turned over to the wrong side. To flip a piece over, hold down the "T" key and click on the puzzle piece. Mix up the pieces again. View finished map in pop-up window.

Description: This map from the U. S. Geological Survey Water Resources Investigation Report number 99-4268 shows vertically averaged salinity distribution in the upper Suwannee River Estuary near Suwannee, Florida, estimated for a 1,000 cubic feet per second withdrawal scenario under low-flow conditions. Regression analyses of salinity concentrations measured in parts per thousand, or ppt, were used to show the effects on the freshwater/saltwater interface movement of the altered the daily mean discharge of the river. These regressions were used to predict the maximum longitudinal extent of isohalines under low-flow conditions. Isohaline locations shown in red were calculated from the regressions, whereas locations shown in yellow were estimated. The isohalines range from 0.5 ppt to 15 ppt.
