Ground-water-level fluctuations in Wasatch Front landslides and adjacent slopes, northern Utah (OFR-448) Paleogeography 4 feet of coringBy: 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. Our data span a relative drought period (1999 2003), but locally document the effects of wetter than normal precipitation on ground water levels in
