Estimation of low-flow duration discharges in Massachusetts
Kernell G. Ries III
1994, Water Supply Paper 2418
Equations for estimating the 95-, 98-, and 99-percent duration discharges for streams in Massachusetts with natural flow conditions were developed by use of weighted-least-squares regression analyses. Record extension methods were used to estimate the low-flow statistics for sites used in the regression analyses that were lacking complete record during the...

1994, Open-File Report 92-139
The dunes and the wetlands along the southern shore of Lake Michigan are underlain by a complex aquifer system composed of unconsolidated glacial, lacustrine, and eolian deposits. Surficial dune, beach, and glacial lacustrine sands compose an extensive surficial aquifer. The underlying drift contains three major confined sand aquifers. Potentiometric...

Simulation analysis of the ground-water flow system in the Portland Basin, Oregon and Washington
David S. Morgan, William D. McFarland
1994, Open-File Report 94-505
A numerical model of the ground-water flow-system in the Portland Basin, Oregon and Washington, was used to test and refine the conceptual understanding of the flow system and estimate the effects of past and future human-caused changes to the ground-water system. Recharge to the basin in 1987-88 consisted primarily of...
Hydrologic and chemical data from an experiment to examine temporal variability in water samples from screened wells on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Thomas E. Reilly
1994, Open-File Report 94-384
An experiment was designed to evaluate the changing chemical composition of the water pumped from a well screened in a physically and chemically heterogenous aquifer. Well F453-63, at the U.S. Geological Survey Toxic-Substances Hydrology research site located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was selected because it was known that the screen...
