The recreational value of Lake Wallenpaupack, along with its proximity to the New York and New Jersey metropolitan areas, has resulted in residential development in parts of the watershed. Some of these developments encroach on existing ponds, lakes, and wetlands and result in the conversion of forest land to residential areas. Sediment and nutrients in runoff from these residential areas, and inputs from agricultural areas, sewage treatment plants, and atmospheric deposition, have had a significant effect on water quality in Lake Wallenpaupack.
Water-quality data collected in the Lake Wallenpaupack watershed from 1991 through 1994 indicate the influence of land use on water resources. Water samples collected from a forested undeveloped basin contained lower concentrations of suspended sediment, nitrogen, and total phosphorus than samples collected from the basins of Ariel Creek and Purdy Creek that drain areas having mixed land use with residential developments. Sediment yields were three to four times higher in the developed basins of Purdy and Ariel Creeks compared to the forested undeveloped basin. Annual yields for total nitrogen for Ariel Creek and Purdy Creek were between three to five times greater than yields from the forested basin. For the 1993 water year, the annual yield for dissolved nitrate plus nitrite (as nitrogen) from Ariel Creek Basin was 1,410 pounds per square mile, or about 60 times greater than the 24 pounds per square mile from the undeveloped basin. The total-phosphorus yield from the Ariel Creek Basin was 216 pounds per square mile for the 1994 water year. This was about three times greater than the 74 pounds per square mile from the forested basin. The total-phosphorus yield for the Purdy Creek Basin was 188 pounds per square mile for the 1994 water year, or 2.5 times greater than the yield from the undeveloped forested basin. Only slight differences were observed in dissolved orthophosphate phosphorus loadings between the basins. All three basins displayed seasonal differences in water quality. Most of the annual yield occurred during early spring as a result of snowmelt runoff.
Data collected from the Stevens Creek sites showed that an open-water wetland was very effective in removing sediment and total phosphorus but was not as effective in removing dissolved orthophosphate phosphorus and nitrogen. The wetland removed more than 96 percent of the sediment.

The hydrogeologic system in the Sierra Vista subwatershed of the Upper San Pedro Basin in southeastern Arizona was investigated for the purpose of developing a better understanding of stream-aquifer interactions. The San Pedro River is an intermittent stream that supports a narrow corridor of riparian vegetation. Withdrawal of ground water will result in reduced discharge from the basin through reduced base flow and evapotranspiration; however, the rate and location of reduced discharge are uncertain.
\nThe investigation resulted in better definition of distributions of silt and clay in the regional aquifer; changes in seasonal precipitation, runoff, and base flow in the San Pedro River; sources of base flow; and regional water-level changes. Regional ground-water flow is separated into deep-confined and shallow-unconfined systems by silt and clay. Precipitation, runoff, and base flow declined at the Charleston streamflow-gaging station from 1936 through 1997 for the months of June through October. Base flow at the Charleston station during 1996 and 1997 was primarily supplied by ground water recharged near the San Pedro River during recent major runoff and by minor contributions from the regional aquifer. The decline in base flow, about 2 cubic feet per second, has several probable causes including declining runoff and recharge near the river during June through October and increased interception of ground-water flow to the river by wells and phreatophytes. Water levels in wells throughout the regional aquifer generally declined at rates of 0.2 to 0.5 feet per year between 1940 and the mid-1980's, which corresponded with a period of below-average winter precipitation. Water levels in wells in the Fort Huachuca and Sierra Vista areas declined at rates that were faster than regional rates of decline through 1998 and caused diversion of ground-water flow that would have discharged along perennial stream reaches.

Fracture-orientation information is needed to address concerns about the fate of contaminants in ground water at the site. Azimuthal square-array resistivity surveys were conducted at 3 locations at the site, borehole-acoustic televiewer and borehole-video logs were collected in 10 wells, and single-hole directional radar surveys were conducted in 9 wells. Borehole-video logs were used to supplement the results of other geophysical techniques and are not described in this report.\r\n\r\nAnalysis of azimuthal square-array resistivity data indicated that high-angle fracturing generally strikes northeast-southwest at the three locations. Borehole-acoustic televiewer logs detected one prominent low-angle and two prominent high-angle fracture sets. The low-angle fractures strike generally north-northeast and dip about 20 degrees west-northwest. One high-angle fracture set strikes north-northeast and dips east-southeast; the other high-angle set strikes east-northeast and dips south-southeast. Single-hole directional radar surveys identified two prominent fracture sets: a low-angle set striking north-northeast, dipping west-northwest; and a high-angle fracture set striking north-northeast, dipping east-southeast. Two additional high-angle fracture sets are defined weakly, one striking east-west, dipping north; and a second striking east-west, dipping south. \r\n\r\nIntegrated results from all of the geophysical surveys indicate the presence of three primary fracture sets. A low-angle set strikes north-northeast and dips west-northwest. Two high-angle sets strike north-northeast and east-northeast and dip east-southeast and south-southeast. Statistical correction of the fracture data for orientation bias indicates that high-angle fractures are more numerous than observed in the data but are still less numerous than the low-angle fractures. \r\n\r\nThe orientation and distribution of water-yielding fractures sets were determined by correlating the fracture data from this study with previously collected borehole-flowmeter data. The water-yielding fractures are generally within the three prominent fracture sets observed for the total fracture population. The low-angle water-yielding fractures primarily strike north-northeast to west-northwest and dip west-northwest to south-southwest. Most of the high-angle water-yielding fractures strike either north-northeast or east-west and dip east-southeast or south. The spacing between water-yielding fractures varies but the probable average spacing is estimated to be 30 feet for low-angle fractures; 27 feet for the east-southeast dipping, high-angle fractures; and 43 feet for the south-southeast dipping, high-angle fractures.\r\n\r\nThe median estimated apparent transmissivity of individual water-yielding fractures or fracture zones was 0.3 feet squared per day and ranged from 0.01 to 382 feet squared per day. Ninety-five percent of the water-yielding fractures or fracture zones had an estimated apparent transmissivity of 19.5 feet squared per day or less. \r\n\r\nThe orientation, spacing, and hydraulic properties of water-yielding fractures identified during this study can be used to help estimate recharge, flow, and discharge of ground water contaminants. High-angle fractures provide vertical pathways for ground water to enter the bedrock, interconnections between low-angle fractures, and, subsequently, pathways for water flow within the bedrock along fracture planes. Low-angle fractures may allow horizontal ground-water flow in all directions. The orientation of fracturing and the hydraulic properties of each fracture set strongly affect changes in ground-water flow under stress (pumping) conditions.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/wri994050","usgsCitation":"Hansen, B.P., Stone, J., and Lane, J.W., 1999, Characteristics of fractures in crystalline bedrock determined by surface and borehole geophysical surveys, eastern surplus superfund site, Meddybemps, Maine: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4050, iv, 27 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri994050.","productDescription":"iv, 27 p.","costCenters":[{"id":493,"text":"Office of Ground Water","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":158826,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":2154,"rank":100,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/wrir99-4050/pdf/wrir99-4050.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Maine","city":"Meddybemps","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -67.36151218414307,\n 45.03607949268277\n ],\n [\n -67.35473155975342,\n 45.03607949268277\n ],\n [\n -67.35473155975342,\n 45.0420232007112\n ],\n [\n -67.36151218414307,\n 45.0420232007112\n ],\n [\n -67.36151218414307,\n 45.03607949268277\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49d6e4b07f02db5de46b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hansen, Bruce P.","contributorId":90727,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hansen","given":"Bruce","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198246,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stone, Janet Radway","contributorId":72793,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stone","given":"Janet Radway","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198245,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lane, John W.

This U.S. Geological Survey information sheet answers frequently asked questions about Great Salt Lake. Topics include: History, salinity, brine shrimp, brine flies, migratory birds, and recreation. Great Salt Lake, the shrunken remnant of prehistoric Lake Bonneville, has no outlet. Dissolved salts accumulate in the lake by evaporation. Salinity south of the causeway has ranged from 6 percent to 27 percent over a period of 22 years (2 to 7 times saltier than the ocean). The high salinity supports a mineral industry that extracts about 2 million tons of salt from the lake each year. The aquatic ecosystem consists of more than 30 species of organisms. Harvest of its best-known species, the brine shrimp, annually supplies millions of pounds of food for the aquaculture industry worldwide. The lake is used extensively by millions of migratory and nesting birds and is a place of solitude for people.

Because these compounds can have important biological consequences at concentrations well below the detection limits associated with conventional water-sampling techniques, we used semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) to sample water, and achieved sub-parts-per-quintillion detection limits. We deployed SPMDs during 1997 low-flow conditions and 1998 high-flow conditions at nine main-stem sites and seven tributary sites, spanning approximately 700 miles of the Columbia River. We also collected streambed sediment from three sites. SPMD extracts and sediments were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides and related transformation products, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Our data indicate that (1) in the absence of additional sources, mechanisms such as volatilization, dilution, and settling of suspended particles can act to significantly reduce concentrations of contaminants along the river's flow path, (2) elevated concentrations of contaminants in the Portland-Vancouver area are primarily from local rather than upstream sources, (3) elevated concentrations of many compounds tend to be diluted during periods of high discharge, (4) much higher discharge in the main stem considerably dilutes elevated concentrations entering from tributaries, (5) the distribution of hydrophobic organic compounds in streambed sediment is not necessarily indicative of their distribution in the dissolved-phase, and (6) SPMDs can reveal patterns of contaminant occurrence at environmentally relevant concentrations that are undetectable by conventional water-sampling techniques.

As part of the River-Input Monitoring Program, nutrient and suspended-sediment data and streamflow data were collected from 1985 through 1996 at the Susquehanna, Potomac, Patuxent, and Choptank Rivers above the points of tidal influence. The data were used to determine the effectiveness of strategies aimed at reducing nutrients entering Chesapeake Bay from its tributaries. Of the four rivers studied, the Patuxent River had the highest median concentrations of total nitrogen (2.6 milligrams per liter), total phosphorus (0.17 milligrams per liter), and suspended sediment (45 milligrams per liter) during the 12-year period. From 1985?96, flow-adjusted concentrations of total nitrogen decreased in all but the Potomac River, flow-adjusted concentrations of total phosphorus decreased in all four rivers, and flow-adjusted concentrations of suspended sediment decreased in all but the Susquehanna River. The rivers that contributed the greatest amount of streamflow to Chesapeake Bay, the Susquehanna and Potomac, also contributed the greatest nutrient loads and suspended-sediment loads to the Bay. The Susquehanna River transported the highest average-annual loads of total phosphorus (4.7 million pounds per year) and total nitrogen (146 million pounds per year), while the Potomac River transported the highest average-annual load of suspended sediment (4.1 billion pounds per year) to the Bay. Annual loads and annual mean streamflow were normalized by basin drainage area to account for some of the hydrologic differences among the river basins. An increase in precipitation from south to north is still apparent, however, when comparing the water yields among river basins. The Susquehanna River Basin had the highest median annual water yield during the study period; the other three basins all had similar water yields. The Susquehanna River and the Patuxent River had the highest median annual yields of nitrogen during the study period. The Patuxent River also had the highest median annual yield of total phosphorus during the study period, while the Potomac River had the highest median yield of suspended sediment. Annual yields of total phosphorus and suspended sediment from the Susquehanna and the Choptank River Basins are lower than those from the Potomac and Patuxent River Basins. These relatively small yields from the Susquehanna River may be due to the location of the sampling station below Conowingo Dam. A series of three dams upstream trap a large percentage of sediment and total phosphorus carried by the Susquehanna River to Chesapeake Bay.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri984177","usgsCitation":"Darrell, L.C., Majedi, B.F., Lizarraga, J.S., and Blomquist, J., 1999, Nutrient and suspended-sediment concentrations, trends, loads, and yields from the nontidal part of the Susquehanna, Potomac, Patuxent, and Choptank rivers, 1985-96: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4177, v, 38 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984177.","productDescription":"v, 38 p.","costCenters":[{"id":374,"text":"Maryland Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":95550,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4177/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":156109,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4177/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":411515,"rank":3,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_19248.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia","otherGeospatial":"Susquehana, Potomac, Patuxent, and Choptank Rivers","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -80.717,\n 42.467\n ],\n [\n -80.717,\n 37.3\n ],\n [\n -74.633,\n 37.3\n ],\n [\n -74.633,\n 42.467\n ],\n [\n -80.717,\n 42.467\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4afce4b07f02db6967c9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Darrell, Linda C.","contributorId":6092,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Darrell","given":"Linda","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":194649,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Majedi, Brenda F. blfeit@usgs.gov","contributorId":5060,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Majedi","given":"Brenda","email":"blfeit@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":194648,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Lizarraga, Joy S.","contributorId":43735,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lizarraga","given":"Joy","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":194650,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Blomquist, Joel D. jdblomqu@usgs.gov","contributorId":3774,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Blomquist","given":"Joel D.","email":"jdblomqu@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":374,"text":"Maryland Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":194647,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":29799,"text":"wri984187 - 1999 - The potential for saltwater intrusion in the Potomac aquifers of the York-James Peninsula, Virginia","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2019-08-29T09:16:57","indexId":"wri984187","displayToPublicDate":"2000-12-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1999","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":342,"text":"Water-Resources Investigations Report","code":"WRI","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"98-4187","title":"The potential for saltwater intrusion in the Potomac aquifers of the York-James Peninsula, Virginia","docAbstract":"The most productive aquifers of the Virginia Coastal Plain are in the Potomac Formation. Water supplies in the Potomac aquifers are impaired, however, by saltwater in some areas. A two-dimensional, densitydependent, solute-transport model was used to investigate saltwater movement in the Potomac aquifers and the potential for saltwater intrusion or upward migration of saltwater. The model was designed to represent a simplified section of the Potomac aquifers and associated confining units near Lee Hall, Va. Solute-transport simulations show that the direction of ground-water flow and the hydrogeologic properties, particularly the permeability of aquifers and the distribution of confining sediments in the Potomac Formation, control the system hydrodynamics and saltwater movement in the Potomac aquifers. The simulations indicate lateral intrusion for the Lower Potomac aquifer near Lee Hall, Va. Velocity vectors of the simulations indicate that a hypothetical, but typical, production well in the Middle Potomac aquifer could induce upconing only within the immediate vicinity of the well. Migration of saltwater from the Middle and Lower Potomac aquifers east of the hypothetical well also was indicated by the simulations.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/wri984187","usgsCitation":"Smith, B.S., 1999, The potential for saltwater intrusion in the Potomac aquifers of the York-James Peninsula, Virginia: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4187, iv, 24 p. , https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984187.","productDescription":"iv, 24 p.

Nutrient, trace-element,\nand organic-carbon concentrations also were\nsmall. Acidic pH and large trace-element concentrations\nwere associated with areas affected\nby natural acid-sulfate weathering or mining.\nIncreases in particulate nutrients, total recoverable\ntrace elements, and suspended sediment\nwere related to seasonal snowmelt and thunderstorms.\nBenthic macroinvertebrate and periphyton\n(algae) samples collected from selected sites in\nAugust 1995 indicated large variability in characteristics\namong sites. Macroinvertebrate density\nranged from 6.5 to 1,300 organisms per square\nmeter, and periphyton biovolume ranged from\n0.023 to 4,700 x 106 cubic microns per square\ncentimeter.\nThe discharge of road runoff from\nany single drainage feature (ditch or culvert)\nwas small compared to streamflows. Analytical\nresults from samples of road runoff indicated a\nlarge range in specific conductance, pH in a\nneutral range, large values of turbidity, and\ncalcium bicarbonate type water. Sodium or\nmagnesium and chloride, however, were predominant\nin some samples and were probably related\nto applications of sodium and magnesium chloride\nto the roads. Although dissolved nutrients\nand trace elements were detected in samples\nof road runoff, particulate forms had the largest\nconcentrations. Suspended-sediment concentrations\nin road runoff were large, and the sediment\nwas primarily fine grained.\nLarge concentrations of dissolved and\ntotal recoverable nutrients, total recoverable\ntrace elements, total organic carbon, and\nsuspended sediment in road runoff could cause\nincreased concentrations in streams, lakes, and\nreservoirs. Ground-water concentrations of chloride,\nnitrite plus nitrate, and dissolved iron and\nmanganese·could increase if the large concentrations\npresent in road runoff infiltrate shallow\naquifers.\nBulk atmospheric deposition was collected\nat three sites with a paved road surface, five sites\nwith a gravel or dirt surface, and five sites with\ncollectors at least 500 feet away from a road. The\nmedian bulk -atmospheric-deposition rate for\ngravel (or dirt) roads was 106 times the median\nrate at a reference site (located at least 500 feet\naway from a road) and 39 times the median rate at\na typical paved road site. If a stream, lake,\nor reservoir is located near the road, bulk-atmospheric-\ndeposition products may settle\ndirectly onto open water or be washed in by\nsurface runoff.\nBecause the predominant road-runoff\ntrace-element phase is particulate, potential\ntoxic effects on receiving water may be minimal\nwhen compared to aquatic-life standards and\nregulations in the State of Colorado, which are\nprimarily based on dissolved concentrations.\nU.S. Environmental Protection Agency primary\nmaximum contaminant levels for drinking water\nwere exceeded for dissolved uranium (proposed)\nin one ground-water sample.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Denver, Colorado","doi":"10.3133/wri984193","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration and Clear Creek County","usgsCitation":"Stevens, M.R., 1999, Evaluation of water quality and bulk atmospheric deposition in the Guanella Pass area, Clear Creek and Park Counties, Colorado, water year 1995: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4193, v, 47 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984193.","productDescription":"v, 47 p.","numberOfPages":"52","temporalStart":"1994-10-01","temporalEnd":"1995-09-30","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":286093,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4193/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":286092,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1998/4193/report.pdf"}],"scale":"100000","projection":"Albers Equal-Area Conic projection","country":"United States","state":"Colorado","county":"Clear Creek County;Park County","otherGeospatial":"Guanella Pass","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -105.92703,39.432404 ], [ -105.92703,39.851996 ], [ -105.397949,39.851996 ], [ -105.397949,39.432404 ], [ -105.92703,39.432404 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a08e4b07f02db5f9e49","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Stevens, Michael R. 0000-0002-9476-6335 mrsteven@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9476-6335","contributorId":769,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stevens","given":"Michael","email":"mrsteven@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":191,"text":"Colorado Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":202427,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":24439,"text":"ofr99223 -

Since 1967, when exploration began in this 105,000 km2 area, fewer than 40 wells have been drilled and only one recent oil discovery is considered potentially commercial. Prior to the most recent oil discovery, on the eastern side of the basin, a giant gas field was discovered in 1971, under a modern reef on the west side of the basin. Several additional oil and gas discoveries and shows were made elsewhere. A portion of the Vulcan sub-basin lies within Province 3913 where a small field, confirmed in 1987, produced 18.8 million barrels of oil (MMBO) up to 1995 and has since been shut in.","language":"English","publisher":"Central Region Energy Resources Team, U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr9950I","issn":"0094-9140","usgsCitation":"Bishop, M., 1999, A total petroleum system of the Browse Basin, Australia; Late Jurassic, Early Cretaceous-Mesozoic: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 99-50, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr9950I.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":155585,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":1551,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1999/ofr-99-0050/OF99-50I/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"Australia","otherGeospatial":"Browse Basin","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n 112.4560546875,\n -16.509832826905836\n ],\n [\n 120.673828125,\n -19.642587534013032\n ],\n [\n 124.8046875,\n -18.396230138028812\n ],\n [\n 128.935546875,\n -17.308687886770024\n ],\n [\n 130.4296875,\n -14.00869637063467\n ],\n [\n 129.462890625,\n -12.85464890558895\n ],\n [\n 128.80371093749997,\n -7.972197714386866\n ],\n [\n 110.478515625,\n -9.752370139173285\n ],\n [\n 112.4560546875,\n -16.509832826905836\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b16e4b07f02db6a55bf","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bishop, M.G.","contributorId":89926,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bishop","given":"M.G.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":188352,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":31033,"text":"wri994241 - 1999 - Map showing morphometry, bathymetry, and soft-sediment thickness of Plow Shop Pond and Grove Pond, Ayer, Massachusetts","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2013-07-08T13:12:10","indexId":"wri994241","displayToPublicDate":"2000-12-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1999","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":342,"text":"Water-Resources Investigations Report","code":"WRI","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"99-4241","title":"Map showing morphometry, bathymetry, and soft-sediment thickness of Plow Shop Pond and Grove Pond, Ayer, Massachusetts","language":"ENGLISH","doi":"10.3133/wri994241","usgsCitation":"Mercadante, A., Colman, J., and Buursink, M., 1999, Map showing morphometry, bathymetry, and soft-sediment thickness of Plow Shop Pond and Grove Pond, Ayer, Massachusetts: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4241, 1 over-size sheet, https://doi.org/10.3133/wri994241.","productDescription":"1 over-size sheet","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":164013,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":274644,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1999/4241/plate-1.pdf"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b15e4b07f02db6a48c3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Mercadante, A.M.","contributorId":87595,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mercadante","given":"A.M.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":204622,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Colman, J.A.","contributorId":63032,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Colman","given":"J.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":204620,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Buursink, M.

This report presents results of a ground-water flow simulation analysis of the effects of development on the Long Island ground-water system. It describes ground-water levels, stream-flow, and the ground-water budget for the predevelopment period (pre-1900), the 1960's drought, and a more recent (1968-83) period with significant hydrologic stress. The report also presents estimated effects of a proposed water-supply strategy for the year 2020. \r\n\r\nLong Island has three major aquifers-the upper glacial (water-table), the Magothy, and the Lloyd aquifers-that are separated to varying degrees by confining units. Before development, recharge from precipitation entered the ground-water system at a rate of more than 1.1 billion gallons per day. An equal amount discharged to streams (41 percent), the shore (52 percent), and subsea boundaries (7 percent) . Urbanization and withdrawal of more than 400 Mgal/d (million gallons per day) from wells have resulted in local effects that include declines in ground-water levels, drying up and burial of streams and wetlands, reduction of ground-water recharge by increased overland flow to the ocean, a general decrease in ground-water discharge, and salt water intrusion. In some areas, the reduction in recharge is mitigated by leakage from water-supply and wastewater disposal lines, and infiltration of storm water through recharge basins. During 1968-83, a net loss of 240 Mgal/d from the ground-water system caused a decrease in ground-water discharge to streams (135 Mgal/d), to the shore (82 Mgal/d), and to subsea boundaries (23Mgal/d).The greatest adverse effects have been in western Long Island, where the most severe development has occurred. This analysis shows stream base flow to be highly sensitive to water-table fluctuations, and long streams to be more sensitive than short ones. \r\n\r\nA water-supply scenario for the year 2020 was simulated that employs redistribution of pumping centers to mitigate extreme local effects . Although the net stress on the ground-water system was projected to increase 57 Mgal/d (24 percent) above that of 1968-83, redistribution of ground-water withdrawals across the island would allow recovery of cones of depression in western Long Island, thereby reducing the threat of salt water intrusion and increasing base flow of some streams . The increased stress would cause a net decrease in base flow island wide of 44 Mgal/d; total base flow would be 281 Mgal/d - 39 percent below predevelopment levels or 14 percent below 1968-83 levels. The most severe effects would be in Nassau and western Suffolk Counties.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey ","doi":"10.3133/wri984069","usgsCitation":"Buxton, H.T., and Smolensky, D.A., 1999, Simulation of the effects of development of the ground-water flow system of Long Island, New York: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4069, vi, 57 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri984069.","productDescription":"vi, 57 p.","costCenters":[{"id":589,"text":"Toxic Substances Hydrology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":158046,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/usgs_thumb.jpg"},{"id":2068,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.water.usgs.gov/wri984069","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"New York","otherGeospatial":"Long Island","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -73.817138671875,\n 40.56806745430726\n ],\n [\n -72.3779296875,\n 40.734770989672406\n ],\n [\n -71.83410644531249,\n 41.05864414643032\n ],\n [\n -72.00439453124999,\n 41.269549502842594\n ],\n [\n -73.817138671875,\n 40.90520969727358\n ],\n [\n -73.817138671875,\n 40.56806745430726\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49f7e4b07f02db5f1f06","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Buxton, Herbert T. hbuxton@usgs.gov","contributorId":1911,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Buxton","given":"Herbert","email":"hbuxton@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":5056,"text":"Office of the AD Energy and Minerals, and Environmental Health","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":196429,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Smolensky, Douglas A.","contributorId":105341,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smolensky","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":196430,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ]}
