1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4122
Glacial deposits are the sole source of ground-water supplies in Grand Traverse County. These deposits range in thickness from 100 to 900 feet and consist of till, outwash, and materials of lacustrine and eolian origin. In some areas, the deposits fill buried valleys that are 500 feet deep. Sedimentary rocks...

A concept of the shallow ground-water system along the North Platte River, south-central Wyoming
M. A. Crist
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4078
Irrigation along the North Platte River in Wyoming began as early as 1875. Streams are the principal source of irrigation water with groundwater used to supplement surface-water irrigation supplies. There was concern that groundwater pumpage may have caused about 16 ft of water-level decline in an observation well over...

Recharge rates and aquifer hydraulic characteristics for selected drainage basins in middle and east Tennessee
A.B. Hoos
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4015
Quantitative information concerning aquifer hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics is needed to manage the development of ground-water resources. These characteristics are poorly defined for the bedrock aquifers in Middle and East Tennessee where demand for water is increasing. This report presents estimates of recharge rate, storage coefficient, diffusivity, and transmissivity for...
Effects of storm-water runoff on local ground-water quality, Clarksville, Tennessee
Anne B. Hoos
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4044
Storm-related water-quality data were collected at a drainage-well site and at a spring site in Clarksville, Tennessee, to define the effects of storm-water runoff on the quality of ground water in the area. A dye-trace test verified the direct hydraulic connection between the drainage well and Mobley Spring. Samples of...

Simulation of ground-water flow in the Prairie du Chien-Jordan and overlying aquifers near the Mississippi River, Fridley, Minnesota
R. J. Lindgren
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4165
A three-dimensional, ground-water-flow model was developed to gain an improved understanding of the ground-water-flow system and its response to withdrawals near the Minneapolis Water Works in Fridley, Minnesota. Eight hydrogeologic units are represented in the ground-water-flow model. Aquifers represented are the unconfined-drift, confined-drift, St. Peter, and Prairie du Chien-Jordan. Confining...

Geohydrologic characteristics and simulated response to pumping stresses in the Sparta aquifer in East-Central Arkansas
Daniel J. Fitzpatrick, John M. Kilpatrick, Harry McWreath
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4201
A finite difference digital model of the Sparta aquifer system in Arkansas was developed to aid in assessing the geohydrologic characteristics of the aquifer as well as the impact of withdrawals on water-level declines in the aquifer. The model consists of two layers. The Cockfield aquifer, represented by layer 1,...

Pesticides in soils and ground water in selected irrigated agricultural areas near Havre, Ronan, and Huntley, Montana
D.W. Clark
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4023
Three areas in Montana representing a range of agricultural practices and applied pesticides, were studied to document whether agricultural pesticides are being transported into the soil and shallow groundwater in irrigated areas. Analytical scans for triazine herbicides, organic-acid herbicides, and carbamate insecticides were performed on soil and shallow groundwater samples....
Large springs in the Valley and Ridge Province in Tennessee

1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4205
Approximately 2,700 miscellaneous discharge measurements for 171 large springs in 28 counties of East Tennessee, predominantly within the Valley and Ridge physiographic province, were analyzed statistically and results tabulated to summarize data useful to the Appalachian Valleys-Piedmont Regional Aquifer System Analysis study. The number of measurements at each spring ranged...
