1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4147
The Salt River Valley is a major agricultural and metropolitan area in semiarid south-central Arizona. Groundwater in the permeable sedimentary deposits underlying the area is a major water supply for agricultural, municipal, and industrial users. Groundwater levels have declined as much as 400 ft in recent years. Management of the...

Hydrogeology of the Lake Miona area, northeast Sumter County, Florida
L. A. Bradner
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4002
The Lake Miona area, in northeast Sumter County, is characterized by karstic depressions that contain lakes, ponds, and marshes that drain vertically to the upper Floridan aquifer. Lake Miona, Black Lake, and Cherry Lake are the prominent water features of the area. When the lake levels are lowest, the lakes...
Altitude of the freshwater-saltwater interface in a regionally extensive coastal plain aquifer of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia
Donald J. Strickland, Gary L. Mahon
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4058
Geophysical well logs from over 150 oil test and water wells in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia were examined and calculations of the dissolved solids concentration in ground water were made using the spontaneous potential deflection as a measure of ionic activity. The values derived from these calculations were used to...
Ground-water availability in the Genesee River Basin, New York and Pennsylvania
John C. Kammerer, William A. Hobba Jr.
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4048
New York State 's need to develop a groundwater management strategy for the protection of its aquifers led, in 1985, to a cooperative program between the U.S. Geological Survey and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, through the Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council, to publish basinwide groundwater availability...

Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of the Red River-Winnipeg aquifer northwestern Minnesota
J. F. Ruhl, D. G. Adolphson
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4111
The Red River-Winnipeg aquifer of Ordovician age occupies a depression in the Proterozoic crystalline bedrock of northwestern Minnesota. The Winnipeg Formation, which underlies the Red River Formation, consists of two units: A lower shaley mudstone and an upper medium-grained sandstone. The Red River Formation consists of a lower dolomitic, dark-gray...
Percentage change in saturated thickness of the High Plains Aquifer, west-central Kansas, 1950 to average 1984-86
Barbara J. Dague
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4365
Continuing studies are being made in west-central Kansas to provide up-to-date information that will aid in the management of groundwater for irrigation. The results are presented of the sixth in a series of studies that used a statistical technique called kriging, to produce hydrologic maps. The kriging technique interpolates water...
Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of the Cretaceous aquifer, southwestern Minnesota
D. G. Woodward, H. W. Anderson Jr.
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4153
The Cretaceous aquifer in southwest Minnesota consists of discontinuous, basal sandstone beds in the Dakota Formation and the overlying Codell Sandstone Member of the Carlile Shale of the Colorado Group. These sandstone beds are not laterally or vertically persistent throughout the area and generally are separated shale beds in the...
