Technology transfer opportunities: new development: computerized field manual provides valuable resource for hydrologic investigations
Paul Chapel
1996, Fact Sheet 195-96
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is known throughout the world for conducting quality scientific investigation is hydrologic environments. Proper and consistent field techniques have been an integral part of this good research. Over the past few decades, the USGS has developed and published detailed, standard protocols for conducting studies in...
Vulnerability of public drinking water supplies in New Jersey to pesticides
Eric F. Vowinkel, R.M. Clawges, D.E. Buxton, D.A. Stedfast, J.B. Louis
1996, Fact Sheet 165-96
Beginning in 1993, Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) regulations required the 626 large community water systems in New Jersey to monitor their 2,600 wells and 45 surface-water intakes quarterly for 23 pesticides. Monitoring costs would increase consumers’ water bills by $6.4 million each year. The New Jersey Department of Environmental...
U.S. Geological Survey technology transfer opportunity
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1996, Fact Sheet 104-96
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is interested in entering into a partnership with private industry for commercialization of the Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS)-Common Software Platform (CSP) software....
Technology transfer opportunities : new development : new protocol verifies sterility of newly hatched fish
J.A. Jenkins
1996, Fact Sheet 211-96
U.S. Geological Survey's Biological Resources Disicipline scientists have developed a procedure that could save commercial producers of triploid grass carp between $2000 and $3000 per pond. Since 1983, triploid grass carp have been commercially available for managing aquatic weeds that can cause water quality problems, replace native plants, or impede...
Managing drought risk with a computer model of the Raritan River Basin water-supply system in central New Jersey
Paul Dunne, Gary Tasker
1996, Fact Sheet 206-96
The reservoirs and pumping stations that comprise the Raritan River Basin water-supply system and its interconnections to the Delaware-Raritan Canal water-supply system, operated by the New Jersey Water Supply Authority (NJWSA), provide potable water to central New Jersey communities. The water reserve of this combined system can easily be depleted...
Technology transfer opportunities: how to enter into a CRADA with the USGS
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1996, Fact Sheet 137-96
A CRADA is a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement. It is a written agreement between a private company and a government agency to work together on a project. By entering into a CRADA, the Federal government and non-Federal partners can optimize their resources and cost-effectively perform research by sharing the costs of this research. The collaborating partner agrees to...
Technology transfer opportunities: partnerships: print on demand technology
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1996, Fact Sheet 153-96
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) seeks partnerships with innovative companies who possess the technical expertise and resources to facilitate the USGS's transition to print-on-demand technologies. The USGS requires the hardware/ software and technical expertise to integrate print -on-demand capabilities in solving three problems with its current printing process....
Experimental studies of deposition at a debris-flow flume
Jon J. Major
1995, Fact Sheet 028-94
Geologists commonly infer the flow conditions and the physical properties of debris flows from the sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and morphologic characteristics of their deposits. However, such inferences commonly lack corroboration by direct observation because the capricious nature of debris flows makes systematic observation and measurement of natural events both difficult and...
Atrazine in surface water and relation to hydrologic conditions within the Delaware River Basin Pesticide Management Area, Northeast Kansas, July 1992 through December 1994
Larry M. Pope
1995, Fact Sheet 196-95
Since about 1960, atrazine has been used as an effective pre- and postemergent herbicide in the production of corn and grain sorghum. Atrazine is a triazine-class herbicide and was the most frequently detected herbicide in surface water of the lower Kansas River Basin of southeast Nebraska and northeast Kansas (Stamer...
Inputs of the Dormant-Spray Pesticide, Diazinon, to the San Joaquin River, California, February 1993
Joseph L. Domagalski, Neil M. Dubrovsky, Charles R. Kratzer
1995, Fact Sheet 133-95
INTRODUCTION The objective of the National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program of the U.S. Geological Survey is to describe the status and trends of the Nation's water quality with respect to natural features of the environment and human activities or land-use. Pesticides are a major water-quality issue in the San Joaquin...
Magnetic surveys for locating abandoned wells
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1995, Fact Sheet 163-95
Abandoned and unrecorded wells may act as conduits for the contamination of groundwater supplies by oil field brines and other pollutants. The casings of abandoned wells eventually develop leaks, which, if not properly plugged, can allow pollutants to reach freshwater aquifers that supply drinking water. Sources of pollutants include brine...
Automated feature extraction and classification from image sources
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1995, Fact Sheet 144-95
The U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and Unisys Corporation have completed a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to explore automated feature extraction and classification from image sources. The CRADA helped the USGS define the spectral and spatial resolution characteristics of airborne and satellite imaging sensors...
