I am preparing environmental impact assessment for a limestone quarry.
I need to investigate the impact of dewatering upon the surrounding
environment (lakes, wetland). Do any of you know of good references

Question to you geologists and arm-chair geologists out there:
As a general rule, can a lake have more than one outflowing river?

How does sandstone form from sharp grains? I went to Prince, WV on
Monday and found a sandstone rock that seemed to have an emerald stuck
in it. I brought it home and spent a few hours removing it from the
rock to find it most likely isn't an emerald and even if it was it
