Environmental factors and chemical and microbiological water-quality constituents related to the presence of enteric viruses in ground water from small public water supplies in southeastern Michigan
Donna S. Francy, Rebecca N. Bushon, Julie Stopar, Emma J. Luzano, G. Shay Fout
2004, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5219
A study of small public ground-water-supply wells that produce water from discontinuous sand and gravel aquifers was done from July 1999 through July 2001 in southeastern Michigan. Samples were collected to determine the occurrence of viral pathogens and microbiological indicators of fecal contamination (“indicators”), determine whether indicators are adequate predictors...
Water use in Kansas, 1990-2000
Joan F. Kenny, Cristi V. Hansen
2004, Fact Sheet 2004-3133
This fact sheet compares water use in 1990, 1995, and 2000 for the 12 major river basins in Kansas. Of these 3 years, irrigation water use was largest in 1990 and smallest in 1995, largely because of differing climatic conditions. Irrigation averaged about 85 percent of total water use in...
1999 Volcanic activity in Alaska and Kamchatka: Summary of events and response of the Alaska Volcano Observatory
Robert G. McGimsey, Christina A. Neal, Olga Girina
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1033
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) monitors 41 historically active volcanoes along the Aleutian Arc. Twenty are seismically monitored and for the rest, the AVO monitoring program relies mainly on daily analysis of satellite images, pilot reports, and observations of local residents and ship's crews. In 1999, AVO responded to eruptive...

Channel-morphology data for the Tongue River and selected tributaries, southeastern Montana, 2001-02
Katherine J. Chase
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1260
Coal-bed methane exploration and production have begun within the Tongue River watershed in southeastern Montana. The development of coal-bed methane requires production of large volumes of ground water, some of which may be discharged to streams, potentially increasing stream discharge and sediment load. Changes in stream discharge or sediment load...

2004, Open-File Report 2004-1433
Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts are focused on improving water quality, living resources, and ecological habitats by 2010. One aspect of the water-quality restoration is the refinement of strategies designed to implement nutrient-reduction practices within the Bay watershed. These strategies are being refined and implemented by resource managers of the Chesapeake...

Is the extraction of thorium onto MnO2-coated filter cartridges uniform?
Peter W. Swarzenski, M. Baskaran
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1421
Large-volume (i.e., 102 - 103 L) seawater samples are traditionally required to study the partitioning of particle-reactive radionuclides between solution and size-fractionated particulate matter. One of the most frequently used methods to preconcentrate the short-lived isotopes of Th (234Th and 228Th) from such large volumes of water involves the effective...
