Selected water-quality and biological characteristics of streams in some forested basins of North Carolina, 1985-88
W.S. Caldwell
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4129
Selected physical, chemical and biological components of streams draining undeveloped, forested basins in North Carolina were characterized on the basis of samples collected at nine sites on streams in basins that ranged in size from 0.67 to 11.2 sq mi. Water analysis included specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, suspended...
Water-supply potential of major streams and the upper Floridan Aquifer in the vicinity of Savannah, Georgia
Reggina Garza, R.E. Krause
1992, Open-File Report 92-629
Long-term pumping from the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Savannah, Georgia, area has lowered ground-water levels, resulting in increased salinity of ground water by seawater encroachment at Hilton Head Island, S.C., and by saltwater intrusion at Brunswick, Ga. Increased pumpage could cause further salinization of the ground-water resources. The Savannah...
Analytical solutions for one-, two-, and three-dimensional solute transport in ground-water systems with uniform flow
Eliezer J. Wexler
1992, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-B7
Analytical solutions to the advective-dispersive solute-transport equation are useful in predicting the fate of solutes in ground water. Analytical solutions compiled from available literature or derived by the author are presented for a variety of boundary condition types and solute-source configurations in one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems having uniform ground-water...
A computer program (MODFLOWP) for estimating parameters of a transient, three-dimensional ground-water flow model using nonlinear regression
Mary Catherine Hill
1992, Open-File Report 91-484
This report documents a new version of the U.S. Geological Survey modular, three-dimensional, finite-difference, ground-water flow model (MODFLOW) which, with the new Parameter-Estimation Package that also is documented in this report, can be used to estimate parameters by nonlinear regression. The new version of MODFLOW is called MODFLOWP (pronounced MOD-FLOW*P),...
Water, Energy, and Biogeochemical Budgets (WEBB) program: Data availability and research at the Northern Temperate Lakes site in north-central Wisconsin
John F. Elder, David P. Krabbenhoft, John F. Walker
1992, Open-File Report 92-48
More than three thousand kettle lakes, widely dispersed within a mixed temperate forest ecosystem, are predominant features of the Northern Highland area of north-central Wisconsin. A hydrological and biogeochemical investigation of seven of these lakes and their watershed area is currently in progress as part of the Water, Energy, and...
A generalized finite-difference formulation for the U.S. Geological Survey modular three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water flow model
Arlen W. Harbaugh
1992, Open-File Report 91-494
The U.S. Geological Survey's Modular Ground-Water Flow Model assumes that model nodes are in the center of cells and that transmissivity is constant within a cell. Based on these assumptions, the model calculates coefficients, called conductance, that are multiplied by head difference to determine flow between cells. Although these are...
Hydrogeology, water quality, and potential for transport of organochlorine pesticides in ground water at the North Hollywood Dump, Memphis, Tennessee
R. E. Broshears, M. W. Bradley
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4022
Geologic, hydrologic, and water-quality data indicate that ground-water contamination is confined to shallow horizons within the unconfined aquifer underlying the North Hollywood Dump in Memphis, Tennessee. The dump is a closed municipal-industrial landfill that has been ranked as Tennessee's potentially most dangerous hazardous-waste site. Toxic constituents of concern at the...
Geohydrologic systems in Kansas — Physical framework of the Great Plains aquifer system
Joseph M. Spinazola, R. J. Wolf, Harold E. McGovern
1992, Hydrologic Atlas 722-B
The purpose of this map report is to provide a description of one of the principal geohydrologic systems in Upper Cambrian through Lower Cretaceous rocks in Kansas. The report is the result of an investigation made as part of the Central Midwest Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (CMRASA). The CMRASA is one...
Water resources data, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, water year 1991
R. A. Gadoury, R.S. Socolow, L.R. Ramsbey
1992, Water Data Report MA-RI-91-1
Water-resources data for the 1991 water year for Massachusetts and Rhode Island consists of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; contents of lakes and reservoirs; and ground-water levels. This report contains discharge records for 79 gaging stations, month end contents for six lakes and reservoirs, water quality for nine...
Water resources data, Nevada, water year 1991
K. T. Garcia, G.C. Gortsema, R.N. Pennington, A. M. Preissler
1992, Water Data Report NV-91-1
Water-resources data published herein for the 1991 water year comprise the following records: Water discharge for 142 gaging stations on streams, canals, and drains. Discharge data for 131 peak-flow stations and miscellaneous sites, and 57 springs. Stage and contents for 21 lakes and reservoirs. Water-quality data for 131 stream, canal,...
Geohydrology and water quality of stratified-drift aquifers in the lower Merrimack and coastal river basins, southeastern New Hampshire
Peter J. Stekl, Sarah M. Flanagan
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4025
Communities in the lower Merrimack River basin and coastal river basins of southeastern New Hampshire are experiencing increased demands for water because of a rapid increase in population. The population in 1987 was 225,495 and is expected to increase by 30 percent during the next decade. As of 1987, five...
Hydrogeology, ground-water quality, and potential for water-supply contamination near the Shelby County landfill in Memphis, Tennessee
W. S. Parks, J. E. Mirecki
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4173
An investigation was conducted from 1989 to 1991 to collect and interpret hydrogeologic and ground-water-quality data specific to the Shelby County landfill in east Memphis, Tennessee. Eighteen wells were installed in the alluvial and Memphis aquifers at the landfill. Hydrogeologic data collected showed that the confining unit separating the alluvial...
Chemistry of the subalkalic silicic obsidians
Ray MacDonald, Robert L. Smith, John E. Thomas
1992, Professional Paper 1523
Nonhydrated obsidians are quenched magmatic liquids that record in their chemical compositions details of the tectonic environment of formation and of the differentiation mechanisms that affected their subsequent evolution. This study attempts to analyze, in terms of geologic processes, the compositional variations in the subalkalic silicic obsidians (Si02≥70 percent by...

During the...
Techniques for estimating 7-day, 10-year low-flow characteristics for ungaged sites on streams in Mississippi
Pamela A. Telis
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4130
Mississippi State water laws require that the 7-day, 10-year low-flow characteristic (7Q10) of streams be used as a criterion for issuing wastedischarge permits to dischargers to streams and for limiting withdrawals of water from streams. This report presents techniques for estimating the 7Q10 for ungaged sites on streams in Mississippi...
