Assessment of the Santa Margarita Sandstone as a source of drinking water for the Scotts Valley area, Santa Cruz County, California
K. S. Muir
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-6
Scotts Valley, Calif., is a rural residential area with a rapidly expanding population. Its mediterranean-type climate yields an average annual rainfall of 40 inches. The Santa Margarita Sandstone is the principal aquifer in the area, supplying about 90 percent of all water for domestic purposes. Sources of recharge for the...
Hydrogeology of the Buffalo aquifer, Clay and Wilkin Counties, West-Central Minnesota
R. J. Wolf
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-4
The Buffalo aquifer is the principal source of ground-water supplies in the Moorhead, Minnesota area. The aquifer is an elongate deposit of sand and gravel, which locally contains water under confined conditions. Although the Buffalo aquifer contains about 270 billion gallons of water in storage, only 120 billion gallons could...

John T. Turk, David E. Troutman
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-108
Water samples from two Hudson River floods in 1977--one originating mainly in shale subbasins that produce high sediment loads, the other in soil-poor, crystalline rock terrane that yields little sediment--were analyzed to evaluate the relationship of iron, manganese, lead, phosphorus, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) to suspended-sediment concentration. During the flood...
