Ground-water hydrology of the Willamette basin, Oregon
Terrence D. Conlon, Karl C. Wozniak, Douglas Woodcock, Nora B. Herrera, Bruce J. Fisher, David S. Morgan, Karl K. Lee, Stephen R. Hinkle
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5168
The Willamette Basin encompasses a drainage of 12,000 square miles and is home to approximately 70 percent of Oregon's population. Agriculture and population are concentrated in the lowland, a broad, relatively flat area between the Coast and Cascade Ranges. Annual rainfall is high, with about 80 percent of precipitation falling...
California GAMA program: ground-water quality data in the San Diego drainages hydrogeologic province, California, 2004
Michael T. Wright, Kenneth Belitz, Carmen A. Burton
2005, Data Series 129
Because of concerns over ground-water quality, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has implemented the Ground-Water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program. A primary objective of the program is to provide a current assessment of ground-water...

2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5062
A field sampling experiment was designed using low-flow purging with a portable pump and sample-collection equipment for the collection of water and sediment samples from observation wells screened in the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system to determine radionuclide or trace-element concentrations for various size fractions. Selected chemical and physical characteristics were determined...
Arsenic in ground water in selected parts of southwestern Ohio, 2002-03
Mary Ann Thomas, Thomas L. Schumann, Bruce A. Pletsch
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5138
Arsenic concentrations were measured in 57 domestic wells in Preble, Miami, and Shelby Counties, in southwestern Ohio. The median arsenic concentration was 7.1 ?g/L (micrograms per liter), and the maximum was 67.6 ?g/L. Thirty-seven percent of samples had arsenic concentrations greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency drinking-water standard of...
Water availability for the Western United States--Key scientific challenges
Mark Theodore Anderson, Lloyd H. Woosley Jr.
2005, Circular 1261
In the Western United States, the availability of water has become a serious concern for many communities and rural areas. Near population centers, surface-water supplies are fully appropriated, and many communities are dependent upon ground water drawn from storage, which is an unsustainable strategy. Water of acceptable quality is increasingly...
187Os/188Os And Highly Siderophile Element Systematics Of Apollo 17 Aphanitic Melt Rocks
I.S. Puchtel, R. J. Walker, O.B. James
2005, Conference Paper
Generally chondritic relative abundances and high absolute abundances of the highly siderophile elements (HSE: Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au) in Earth's upper mantle provide strong evidence that these elements were added to the Earth following the last major interaction between its metallic core and silicate fraction. So...
