Peter W. Anderson, Samuel Denton Faust
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 14-74
The findings of a problem-oriented river-system investigation of the stream-quality and streamflow characteristics of the Raritan River basin (1,105 square miles or 2,862 square kilometers drainage area) are described. The investigation covers mainly the period 1955-72. Precipitation in the basin is classified as ample and averages 47 inches or 120 centimeters...
Cross-borehole flow tests and insights into hydraulic connections in fractured mudstone and sandstone
John H. Williams, Pierre Lacombe, Carole D. Johnson, Frederick L. Paillet
None, Conference Paper, Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems
Cross-borehole flow tests provided insights into hydraulic connections in fractured and dipping mudstone and sandstone that were consistent with the lithostratigraphic and structural framework of a VOCcontaminated bedrock research site in west-central New Jersey. Two cross-borehole flow tests were completed. Each test involved measurement and analysis of transient flow in...
