Joseph L. Domagalski
1995, Open-File Report 95-165
Organophosphate insecticides, including chlor- pyrifos, diazinon, and methidathion, are applied to dormant orchards in the San Joaquin Valley, California, during late December through January. This time frame coincides with the period of heaviest rainfall in the valley, and rainfall mobilizes a portion of these pesticides from the orchards. The pesticides...

Effect of the Cedar River on the quality of the ground-water supply for Cedar Rapids, Iowa
P.M. Schulmeyer
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4211
The Surface Water Treatment Rule under the 1986 Amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act requires that public-water supplies be evaluated for susceptibility to surface-water effects. The alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Cedar River is evaluated for biogenic material and monitored for selected water-quality properties and constituents to determine the...
Geohydrology and water quality of stratified-drift aquifers in the Contoocook River basin, south-central New Hampshire
P. T. Harte, William Johnson
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4154
Stratified-drift aquifers discontinuously underlie 121 mi2 (square miles) of the Contoocook River Basin, which has a total drainage area of 776 mi2. Maps of these aquifers, showing water-table configurations, saturated thicknesses, and transmissivities were prepared from well and test-hole data and seismic-refraction profiles. The distribution of stratified-drift aquifers is largely...
Summary of sediment resuspension monitoring activities, Old Tampa Bay and Hillsborough Bay, Florida, 1988-91
V.A. Levesque, D. H. Schoellhamer
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4081
Sediment resuspension was studied in Old Tampa BaY, the northwestern subembayment of Tampa Bay, and in Hillsborough Bay, the northeastern subembayment of Tampa Bay located along the coast of west-central Florida. Electromagnetic current meters, optical backscatterance sensors, and water samples were used to collect sediment resuspension data at several study...

1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4134
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program is designed to provide a nationally consistent description of the current status of water quality, to define water-quality trends, and to relate past and present water-quality conditions to natural features, uses of land and water, and other water-quality effects from...
A hydrogeologic approach to identify land uses that overlie ground-water flow paths, Broward County, Florida
R.S. Sonenshein
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4167
A hydrogeologic approach that integrates the use of hydrogeologic and spatial tools aids in the identification of land uses that overlie ground- water flow paths and permits a better understanding of ground-water flow systems. A mathematical model was used to simulate the ground-water flow system in Broward County, particle-tracking software...
