Movement and fate of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in ground water in Seminole County, Georgia
J. B. McConnell
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4030
An investigation to assess the movement and fate of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in the Upper Floridan aquifer (formerly the principal artesian aquifer) was conducted, because a previous investigation conducted in August 1983, had found EDB contamination of the aquifer in about a 4 sq mi area in central Seminole County,...
Ground-water resources of Flagler County, Florida
A. S. Navoy, L. A. Bradner
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4021
Groundwater is the only significant source of potable water in Flagler County. Usable water occurs in the Upper Floridan aquifer, the intermediate population is expected to place stresses on the water resources of the county. Although rainfall averages almost 50 in/yr, most of the water leaves as evapotranspiration and streamflow....
Simulation of trickle irrigation, an extension to the US Geological Survey's computer program VS2D
R. W. Healy
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4086
A method is presented for simulating water movement through unsaturated porous media in response to a constant rate of application from a surface source. Because the rate at which water can be absorbed by soil is limited, the water will pond; therefore the actual surface area over which the water...
Ground-water resources of the Bisbee-Naco Area, Cochise County, Arizona
G. R. Littin
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4103
The Bisbee-Naco Area is in southeastern Arizona and northeastern Sonora, Mexico. Annual rainfall averages about 17 inches. The basin fill is the principal aquifer and supplies about 95% of all water for domestic purposes. The total groundwater pumped in 1985 was about 6,500 acre/ft. Of that amount, 2,200 acre-ft was...
Water quality of Calero Reservoir, Santa Clara County, California, 1981-83

1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4105
Data were collected from December 1980 to September 1983 to describe water quality conditions of Calero Reservoir and the Almaden-Calero canal, Santa Clara County, California. Results show that water in Calero Reservoir and the canal generally met water quality criteria, as identified by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board...
Estimated use of ground water for irrigation in Wisconsin, 1984
J. T. Krohelski, B.R. Ellefson, C.A. Storlie
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4079
The flow from a sample of 143 irrigation wells from 6 irrigation areas in Wisconsin was measured using an external flowmeter during the 1983-84 irrigation seasons. The measured pumpages were correlated with reported pumpages. The equation that describes this correlation is Q(sub)m = 0.86 x Q(sub)r where Q(sub)m is the...

Effects of agricultural best-management practices on total phosphorus yields in the Johnson Brook and Lovejoy Pond watersheds, Kennebec County, Maine, 1980-84
Thomas J. Maloney, John W. Sowles
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4118
Analysis of daily phosphorus yield and streamflow data collected before and after implementation of agricultural best management practices in the Johnson Brook watershed in south-central Maine indicated statistically significant reductions in phosphorus loading in all flow categories. Reduction of median loadings for five flow categories ranged from 26% to 90%....
Water quality in the lower Puyallup River valley and adjacent uplands, Pierce County, Washington
J.C. Ebbert, Gilbert C. Bortleson, L. A. Fuste, E. A. Prych
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4154
The quality of most ground and surface water within and adjacent to the lower Puyallup River valley is suitable for most typical uses; however, some degradation of shallow groundwater quality has occurred. High concentrations of iron and manganese were found in groundwater, sampled at depths of < 40 ft, from...
Hydrogeology of the Socorro and La Jencia basins, Socorro County, New Mexico
Scott K. Anderholm
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4342
The Socorro and La Jencia Basins are located in central Socorro County, New Mexico. The principal aquifer system in the Socorro and La Jencia Basins consists of, in descending order, the shallow aquifer, the Popotosa confining bed, and the Popotosa aquifer. The minor aquifer systems, which are dominant along the...
Sedimentologic and stratigraphic framework of the upper part of the Fort Union Formation, western Powder River basin, Wyoming
J. N. Weaver, R. M. Flores
1987, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1929
The purpose of this study is to describe the stratigraphy and interpret the environments of deposition in the upper part of the Paleocene Fort Union Formation. Of all the lithofacies present within the study area, sandstone is the most dominant and makes up most of the upper part of the...

A review of surface-water sediment fractions and their interactions with persistent manmade organic compounds
P.J. Witkowski, J. A. Smith, T. V. Fusillo, C. T. Chiou
1987, Circular 993
This paper reviews the suspended and surficial sediment fractions and their interactions with manmade organic compounds. The objective of this review is to isolate and describe those contaminant and sediment properties that contribute to the persistence of organic compounds in surface-water systems. Most persistent, nonionic organic contaminants, such as the...
Hydrologic and geochemical monitoring in Long Valley Caldera, Mono County, California, 1985

1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4090
Hydrologic and geochemical monitoring, to detect changes caused by magmatic and tectonic processes in the Long Valley caldera has continued through 1985. The monitoring included the collection of the following types of data: chemical and isotopic composition of water and gases from springs, wells, and steam vents; temperatures in wells,...
