	Scioto County Water Resources, AEX-480.73
		Recharge is limited in upland areas of the county, and vertical movement of water is greatly restricted because of the bedrock.
		Along the Scioto River however, well yields of as much as 1,000 gpm may be developed in the coarse-grained buried valley aquifer.
		Scioto County citizens have a major challenge to reduce soil erosion, and to protect water resources from pollutants that could affect the quality of the water supply.

	Scioto County Ground-Water Resources, AEX-490.73
		Another source of ground water in the Scioto and Ohio River valley areas in southern Ohio is lenses (or pockets) of sand and gravel, which were deposited by glacial processes.
		This aquifer is coarse-grained sand and gravel and is not recharged by the Scioto River.
		Scioto County's ground-water resources are valuable assets to the county's citizens and industry.

	State EPA pushes for river cleanup
		High levels of toxic sediment in the Little Scioto River are prompting state officials to recommend a thorough cleanup of one of Ohio's most polluted waterways.
		While the Marion probe focused on toxic troubles at River Valley high and middle schools, built on the site of a former military-supply depot, a series of studies have detected high levels of pollution throughout the area.
		But the river's problems are bad enough that some biologists have suggested the most polluted stretch should be relocated and the excavated dirt used to bury the contaminated sediments.

	Scioto River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lower Scioto River valley is very large compared to the width of the river itself and is extensively farmed.
		The geologic history of the Scioto River is tied to the destruction of the Teays River network during the Ice Ages and consequent creation of the Ohio River.
		The north flowing Teays River was dammed by glaciers and damming of other rivers led to a series of floods as lakes overflowed into adjacent valleys.

	Some Natural History of the Scioto
		Before the modern Ohio River existed, the Scioto watershed area was drained by the Teays River which rose in North Carolina and flowed north-west through central Ohio.
		The New River of Virginia and West Virginia still flows northward through the gorge of the Teays, beyond the farthest reach of the glaciers.
		So the flow of the Teays was "stolen" by the Ohio River, including the Teays north of the Ohio, and the Scioto River began to run southward through the same valley that the Teays occupied flowing northward.

		The source of this river is in Auglaize County, from which it flows southeast for a few miles, then northeast in Hardin County, then south by east to the village of Green Group in Marion County, at its junction with the Little Scioto.
		The Sandusky River, though not touching Marion County, is of especial interest for the reason that it formed a part of the great waterway of the Indians, an account of which is given later on.

		Scioto River (shown here near Circleville, south of Columbus) and its tributaries cover a 6,300-square mile (4,170,000 acres) area of southern and central Ohio, including portions of 31 counties.
		The CREP conservation practices, such as restoring wetlands and restoring forested streamside buffers, will help reduce nutrient and sediment flow from the Scioto River Watershed, Ohio's largest contributor to hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen levels) in the Gulf of Mexico.
		Nutrient-rich runoff drains into the Gulf from the Mississippi and Ohio River systems, overfeeding algae that consume the majority of available dissolved oxygen in the water and creating a dead zone devoid of aquatic life.
