Thickness and hydrogeology of aquifers and confining units below the upper glacial aquifer on Long Island, New York
Julian Soren, Dale L. Simmons
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4175
Three extensive unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers on Long Island lie between the island 's upper glacial aquifer and its southward-dipping crystalline bedrock surface. The island 's aquifers have been heavily pumped, mainly for public-water supply, but most of this pumpage since the 1960 's has come from below the...

Computation of rapidly varied unsteady, free-surface flow
D.R. Basco
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4284
Many unsteady flows in hydraulics occur with relatively large gradients in free surface profiles. The assumption of hydrostatic pressure distribution with depth is no longer valid. These are rapidly-varied unsteady flows (RVF) of classical hydraulics and also encompass short wave propagation of coastal hydraulics. The purpose of this report is...

1987, Open-File Report 87-384
Rainfall-runoff data are presented for eight selected drainage basins in Somerset County, New Jersey, for the 1980 through 1984 water yr. In order to improve the existing methods for estimating flood-frequency and magnitude throughout the county, in their flood-monitoring efforts by providing real-time data, rainfall-runoff data were collected and a...

pH measurement of low-conductivity waters
Eurybiades Busenberg, Niel Plummer
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4060
pH is an important and commonly measured parameter of precipitation and other natural waters. The various sources of errors in pH measurement were analyzed and procedures for improving the accuracy and precision of pH measurements in natural waters with conductivities of < 100 uS/cm at 25 C are suggested. Detailed...

1987, Water Data Report TX-86-2
The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Federal, State, and City agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Texas each water year. Such data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding...
Underground coal mines as sources of water for public supply in northern Upshur County, West Virginia
W.A. Hobba Jr.
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4115
Water use for the public supply in northern Upshur County, West Virginia exceeds the 1930 drought flow of its water source, the Buckhannon River. Three underground flooded coal mines near Buckhannon store about 1,170 acre-ft of water. This stored water , plus an additional 500 gal/min of groundwater infiltration into...
Evaluation of availability of water from drift aquifers near the Pomme de Terre and Chippewa rivers, western Minnesota
G. N. Delin
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4321
Ground-water flow in the confined- and unconfined-drift aquifers near Appleton and Benson, Minnesota, was simulated with a three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water-flow model. Model results indicate that 98 percent of the total inflow to the modeled area is from precipitation. Of the total outflow, 38 percent is ground-water discharge to the Pom...
