Geohydrologic reconnaissance of a ground-water contamination problem in the Argonne Road area near Spokane, Washington
N. P. Dion
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4173
Three domestic wells that withdraw groundwater from an alluvium-filled trough cut into granite were found to be contaminated with the organic solvents tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and 1 ,2-trans-dichloroethene. The suspected source of contamination is a nearby septic-tank sludge disposal area. There is concern that the affected aquifer is tributary to...

Water-chemistry data from the Edwards aquifer for 1976-85, consisting of nearly 1,500 chemical analyses from 280 wells and 3 springs, were used to statistically evaluate relations among ground-water chemistry, hydrogeology, and land use. Five land uses associated with sampled wells were classified on the basis of published information and field...

Chemical characteristics of water in the surficial aquifer system, Dade County, Florida
W. H. Sonntag
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4080
Geohydrologic test drilling was conducted throughout Dade County to describe the chemical characteristics of water from geohydrologic units in the surficial aquifer system. Water quality analysis of samples collected from the test wells completed in central Dade County indicates that the Biscayne aquifer (unit A), the upper clastic unit of...

Sensitivity analysis of a multilayer, finite-difference model of the southeastern Coastal Plain regional aquifer system: Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina
Meribeth Pernik
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4108
The sensitivity of a multilayer finite-difference regional flow model was tested by changing the calibrated values for five parameters in the steady-state model and one in the transient-state model. The parameters that changed under the steady-state condition were those that had been routinely adjusted during the calibration process as part...

Evaluation of selected surface-water-quality stations in Wyoming
S.J. Rucker, L. L. DeLong
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4003
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, has conducted a surface-water-quality program in Wyoming since 1965. The purpose has been to determine the chemical quality of the water in terms of the major dissolved constituents (salinity). Changing agricultural techniques and energy development have stimulated a...
Evapotranspiration and microclimate at a low-level radioactive-waste disposal site in northwestern Illinois

1987, Open-File Report 86-301
From July 1982 through June 1984, a study was made of the microclimate and evapotranspiration at a low-level radioactive-waste disposal site near Sheffield, Bureau County, Illinois. Vegetation at the site consists of mixed pasture grasses, primarily brome (Bromus inermis) and red clover (Trifoleum pratense). Three methods were used to estimate...
Overview of water resources in Owens Valley, California
