Chemical quality of water at 14 sites near Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge, Fresno and Merced Counties, California
J. A. Izbicki
1984, Open-File Report 84-582
Data were collected to determine concentrations of major ions, nutrients, and selected trace elements in collector drains tributary to the San Luis Drain; the San Luis Drain near Kesterson Reservoir; Kesterson Reservoir; and selected drains, canals, and sloughs near but not tributary to Kesterson Reservoir, California. Results from 14 samples...
Selenium concentrations in waters tributary to and in the vicinity of the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge, Fresno and Merced counties, California
T. S. Presser, Ivan Barnes
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4122
Analyses were made for selenium in waters and other materials of the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge. Analyses were also made of source agricultural drainage waters from the San Luis Drain discharged into the refuge, and surrounding irrigation supply and return waters. Selenium concentrations range from 140 to 1 ,400 micrograms...

Ground-water resources of the Mattapoisett River aquifer, Plymouth County, Massachusetts: Summary for water-resource managers
Virginia De Lima, Julio C. Olimpio
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4023
Proposed increases in municipal pumpage in the Mattapoisett River valley will triple ground-water withdrawals in the next two decades. Because of State and local concern about the long-term effects of these withdrawals on ground-water levels and streamflow, a digital ground-water-flow model was developed to assist water-resource management. Ten development scenarios...

A modification of the finite-difference model for simulation of two dimensional ground-water flow to include surface-ground water relationships
M.M. Ozbilgin, D.C. Dickerman
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4251
The two-dimensional finite-difference model for simulation of groundwater flow was modified to enable simulation of surface-water/groundwater interactions during periods of low streamflow. Changes were made to the program code in order to calculate surface-water heads for, and flow either to or from, contiguous surface-water bodies; and to allow for more...
Effects of brine on the chemical quality of water in parts of Creek, Lincoln, Okfuskee, Payne, Pottawatomie, and Seminole counties, Oklahoma
Robert B. Morton
1984, Open-File Report 84-445
A study of water-quality degradation due to brine contamination was made in an area of about 1,700 square miles in east-central Oklahoma. The study area coincides, in part, with the outcrop of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer of Pennsylvanian age.Water samples collected from 180 wells completed in the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer, and at...
