Merced is in the northeastern part of the San Joaquin Valley, California. The fresh-ground-water basin is about 1,200 feet thick. Five aquifers are defined in the Merced area: (1) The Mehrten Formation (Miocene and Pliocene), (2) a confined aquifer , (3) an intermediate aquifer, (4) a shallow aquifer, and (5)...
Geology and ground-water in western Santa Cruz County, California, with particular emphasis on the Santa Margarita Sandstone
J. P. Akers, L.E. Jackson
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-15
The water-bearing potential of the geologic formations in the western part of Santa Cruz County, Calif., is evaluated. Most of the sedimentary formations in this area are fine-grained rocks of Tertiary age that have been folded and faulted. These rocks, in general, yield supplies of water sufficient only for individual...

1976 water-quality data in Bear Creek basin, Medford, Oregon
Stuart W. McKenzie, Loren A. Wittenberg
1977, Open-File Report 77-90
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Rogue Valley Council of Governments, is studying surface-water-quality problems and their causes in the Bear Creek basin of southwestern Oregon. Two specific areas of investigation include: measurements of the quality and quantity of water in the irrigation canals and drainage system and...
Preliminary study of sources and processes of enrichment of manganese in water from University of Rhode Island supply wells
William Dudley Silvey, Herbert E. Johnston
1977, Open-File Report 77-561
Concentrations of dissolved manganese have increased from 0.0 to as much as 3.3 mg/liter over a period of years in closely spaced University of Rhode Island supply wells. The wells tap stratified glacial deposits and derive part of their water from infiltration from a nearby river-pond system. The principal sources...
Ground water-surface water relations in the Silver Creek area, Blaine County, Idaho
