1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4138
The Regional Aquifer-System Analysis Program of the U.S. Geological Survey was initiated in 1978. The purpose of this program is to define the regional geohydrology and establish a framework of background information on geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Nation 's important aquifer systems. This information is needed to develop...

Simulation of ground-water flow near the nuclear-fuel reprocessing facility at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, Cattaraugus County, New York
R. M. Yager
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4308
A two-dimensional finite-difference model was developed to simulate groundwater flow in a surficial sand and gravel deposit underlying the nuclear fuel reprocessing facility at Western New York Nuclear Service Center near West Valley, N.Y. The sand and gravel deposit overlies a till plateau that abuts an upland area of siltstone...
Description of piezometer nests and water levels in the Rio Grande Valley near Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico
S. K. Anderholm, T.F. Bullard
1987, Open-File Report 87-122
Twenty-four piezometers were installed from mid-October 1984 to mid-January 1985 in two sections of the Rio Grande valley near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Each cross section is comprised of four piezometer nests and each nest is comprised of three piezometers completed at different depths. The purpose of this report is to...
Surface-geophysical investigations in Melton Valley, Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee
Patrick Tucci
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4184
Surface geophysical methods were found to be valuable for refining knowledge of the geohydrology of Melton Valley, an area used for burial of low-level radioactive waste at the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee. The valley is characterized by locally complex geologic structures in lithologies of interbedded shale and limestone. Radionuclides...

Relation between ground water and surface water in the Hillsborough River basin, west-central Florida
R. M. Wolansky, T. H. Thompson
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4010
The relation between groundwater and surface water in the Hillsborough River basin was defined through the use of: seismic-reflection profiling along selected reaches of the Hillsborough River, and evaluation of streamflow, rainfall, groundwater levels, water quality, and geologic data. Major municipal well fields in the basin are Morris Bridge and...
Water resources data, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, water year 1985
R. A. Gadoury, D. J. Kent, Kernell G. Ries III, H. L. White
1987, Water Data Report MA-RI-85-1
Water-resources data for the 1985 water year for Massachusetts and Rhode Island consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; contents of lakes and reservoirs; and ground-water levels. This report contains discharge records for 97 gaging stations, monthend contents for 31 lakes and reservoirs, water quality for...
Geology and hydrology of the Onondaga aquifer in eastern Erie County, New York, with emphasis on ground-water-level declines since 1982
W. W. Staubitz, Todd S. Miller
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4317
The Onondaga aquifer is a nearly flat-lying, 25- to 110-foot-thick, cherty limestone with moderately developed karst features such as sinkholes, disappearing streams, and solution-widened joints. Most groundwater moves through solution-widened bedding planes, although some moves through vertical joints. The yield of water from 42 wells ranges from 3 to 100...

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...

1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4187
Three test wells were drilled west of Albuquerque; two are on the mesa west of the city, the third well is near the Rio Grande flood plain, west of the river. Test well 1, was drilled to a depth of 1,204 ft. Transmissivity of perforated intervals in the alluvial zone...
Techniques for estimating flood-depth frequency relations for streams in West Virginia
J.B. Wiley
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4111
Multiple regression analyses are applied to data from 119 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow stations to develop equations that estimate baseline depth (depth of 50% flow duration) and 100-yr flood depth on unregulated streams in West Virginia. Drainage basin characteristics determined from the 100-yr flood depth analysis were used to develop...
