The Denver ground-water basin underlies a 6,700-square-mile area extending from Greeley in the north to Colorado Springs in the south, and from the Front Range in the west to near Limon in the east. The four major bedrock aquifers that occur in the basin are the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer (the...
Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey in Arkansas, fiscal year 1981
1981, Open-File Report 81-1003
During fiscal year 1981 there were 20 water-resources investigations in progress by the Arkansas District of the U. S. Geological Survey 's Water Resources Division. Investigations that mainly involved data collection included surface-water gaging, water-level measuring, water-quality sampling, sediment sampling, and water-use inventorying. Interpretive studies included three that were principally...
U.S. Geological Survey reports on the water resources of Florida, 1886-1980
Nevin Douglas Hoy, James D. Simmons, Maude Claiborne
1981, Open-File Report 81-816
The U.S. Geological Survey has been making investigations of the water resources of Florida since the latter part of the 19th century. The earlier work consisted mainly of data collection at a few spring and river sites at intermittent intervals with the exception of a statewide ground-water study made during...
An evaluation of the effects of acid rain on low conductivity headwater streams in Pennsylvania
John R. Ritter, Ann E. Brown
1981, Open-File Report 81-1025
Analyses of water collected at 32 sites on headwater streams in Pennsylvania during low-flow conditions in 1970-80 were compared to pre-1971 data to evaluate whether acid rain had changed the chemistry of the streams in the previous decade. Most pH, alkalinity, and sulfate values of the samples collected in 1970-80...
Effects of a cattle feedlot on ground-water quality in the South Platte River Valley near Greeley, Colorado
Ronald G. Borman
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-83
Changes in water quality in an alluvial aquifer resulting from the operation of a feedlot stocked with 90,000 cattle have been minimal. Monitoring water quality in 19 observation wells from April 1974, prior to the operation of the feedlot, to June 1978, after about 4 years of operation, indicates that...
