St. Jones River
Creation of Improved Accuracy LiDAR-Based Digital Elevation Models for the St. Jones River and Blackbird Creek Watersheds
Project Contact(s)
In tidal wetlands, the high density of vegetation cover inhibits penetration of LiDAR pulses through the vegetation to the ground surface and low vegetation heights inhibit classification of ground point elevations. This project identities and corrects for biases found in the St. Jones and Blackbird Reserves using GPS RTK surveying and statistical analysis.

Groundwater and Saline Water Intrusion Monitoring Network Infrastructure Improvements: Kent County, Delaware
Project Contact(s)
DGS has begun a three year project to install new water monitoring infrastructure and collect baseline data in Kent County, Delaware. Recommended by the Water Supply Coordinating Council in 2015, the project was funded by a fiscal year 2017 State of Delaware Capital Appropriation.

RI34 Long-Term Chemical-Quality Changes in Selected Delaware Streams
Data from three streamflow water-quality stations were statistically analyzed to determine the relationships of the major inorganic chemical constituents to specific conductance and to stream discharge. The results show that ion concentrations varied directly with the flow and with specific conductance. A set of regression equations defining these relationships were derived for each of the three stations: Brandywine Creek at Wilmington, St. Jones River at Dover, and Nanticoke River near Bridgeville.
