Deep Aquifer Remediation Tools (DARTs): A new technology for ground-water remediation
David L. Naftz, James A. Davis III
1999, Fact Sheet 156-99
Potable ground-water supplies throughout the world are contaminated or threatened by advancing plumes containing radionuclides, metals, and organic compounds. Currently (1999), the most widely used method of ground-water remediation is a combination of extraction, ex-situ treatment, and discharge of the treated water, commonly known as pump and treat. Pump-and-treat methods...

Delaware River Basin
Jeffrey M. Fischer
1999, Fact Sheet 056-99
During the past 25 years, industry and government have made large financial investments in manufacturing, processing, and wastewater-treatment facilities to reduce the amount of contaminants being discharged. Although these investments have led to improved water quality across the Nation, concerns about the effects of nutrients, toxins, and pathogens on human...
Simulating contaminant attenuation, double-porosity exchange, and water age in aquifers using MOC3D
Daniel J. Goode
1999, Fact Sheet 086-99
MOC3D is a general-purpose computer model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for simulation of three-dimensional solute transport in ground water (Konikow and others, 1996). The model is an update to the widely used USGS two-dimensional solute-transport model (MOC) and is implemented as an optional “package” for the ground-water...
USGS international activities in coal resources
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1999, Fact Sheet 119-99
During the last 30 years the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been engaged in coal exploration and characterization in more that 30 foreign countries, including India, Pakistan, China, Turkey, several Eastern European countries, Russia, and other former Soviet Union countries. Through this work, the USGS has developed an internationally recognized...
National Coal Quality Inventory (NaCQI) and U.S. Geological Survey Coal Quality Databases
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1999, Fact Sheet 120-99
Coal will remain a very significant part of U.S. energy needs (fig.l), even though there will continue to be concern about environmental impacts associated with its use. Currently, about 88 percent of U.S. coal production is used by electric utilities. The remaining 12 percent is either exported or used domestically...

Microbial and spectral reflectance techniques to distinguish neutral and acidic drainage
Eleanora I. Robbins
1999, Fact Sheet 118-99
Acid drainage from abandoned coal mines is affecting thousands of miles of rivers in the eastern United States. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists are finding that neutral drainage is sometimes being mistaken for acidic drainage because both involve the formation of iron oxide-rich materials. USGS scientists are adapting microbial techniques to learn...
