2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5269
A ground-water flow simulation for a 66.4-square-mile area around Great Sandy Bottom (GSB) Pond (105 acres) near Pembroke, Massachusetts, was developed for use by local and State water managers to assess the yields for public water supply of local ponds and wells for average climatic and drought conditions and the...
Simulation of ground-water flow and areas contributing ground water to production wells, Cadillac, Michigan
Christopher J. Hoard, David B. Westjohn
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5175
Ground water is the primary source of water for domestic, municipal, and industrial use within the northwest section of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Because of the importance of this resource, numerous communities including the city of Cadillac in Wexford County, Michigan, have begun local wellhead protection programs. In these programs, communities...
Surface-water/ground-water interaction along reaches of the Snake River and Henrys Fork, Idaho
Jon Hortness, Peter Vidmar
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5115
Declining water levels in the eastern Snake River Plain aquifer and decreases in spring discharges from the aquifer to the Snake River have spurred studies to improve understanding of the surface-water/ground-water interaction on the plain. This study was done to estimate streamflow gains and losses along specific reaches of the...

2005, National Driller (26) 38-39
Ground water provides approximately 40 percent of the nation’s public water supply, and the total percentage of withdrawals for irrigation has increased from 23 percent in 1950 to 42 percent in 2000. Ground water also is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers in the United States...
Evaluation of groundwater movement in the Frenchman Flat CAU using geochemical and isotopic analysis
R. Hershey, J. Thomas, T. Rose, James B. Paces, I. M. Farnham, F. C. Benedict
2005, Technical Report DOE/NV/13609-36
The principal pathway for radionuclide migration from underground tests in Frenchman Flat, on the Nevada Test Site, to the accessible environment is groundwater flow. Two potential pathways for radionuclide transport via groundwater have been identified from hydrologic data: (1) radionuclide transport downward from the alluvial and volcanic...
The future of hydrogeology
Clifford I. Voss
2005, Hydrogeology Journal (13) 1-6
“The Future of Hydrogeology” would seem to be an overly ambitious topic for a theme issue of Hydrogeology Journal or for any other journal. Only a modicum of common sense and experience provides the insight that predicting the future of a science is a task fraught with uncertainty...
Geochemistry and the understanding of ground-water systems
Pierre D. Glynn, Niel Plummer
2005, Hydrogeology Journal (13) 263-287
Geochemistry has contributed significantly to the understanding of ground-water systems over the last 50 years. Historic advances include development of the hydrochemical facies concept, application of equilibrium theory, investigation of redox processes, and radiocarbon dating. Other hydrochemical concepts, tools, and techniques have helped elucidate mechanisms of flow and transport in...

Descriptions of the Animas River-Cement Creek confluence and mixing zone near Silverton, Colorado, during the late summers of 1996 and 1997
Laurence E. Schemel, Marisa H. Cox
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1064
Acidic waters from Cement Creek discharge into the circum-neutral Animas River in a high-elevation region of the San Juan Mountains near Silverton, Colorado. Cement Creek is acidic and enriched in metals and sulfate because it is fed by discharges from abandoned mines and natural mineral deposits. Mixing with the Animas...

James S. Kuwabara, Brent R. Topping, Gerald E. Moon, Peter Husby, Andrew Lincoff, James L. Carter, Marie-Noële Croteau
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5037
The water columns of four reservoirs (Almaden, Calero, Guadalupe and Lexington Reservoirs) and an abandoned quarry pit filled by Alamitos Creek drainage for recreational purposes (Lake Almaden) were sampled on September 14 and 15, 2004 to provide the first measurements of mercury accumulation by phytoplankton and zooplankton in lentic systems...

2005, Journal of Contaminant Hydrology (77) 219-224
Many of the comments by Dublyansky and Smirnov (2005) on Marshall et al. (2003) reflect a longstanding debate over the origin of secondary calcite and opal deposits found in cavities and on fracture surfaces at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, site of a proposed high-level nuclear waste repository (US Department of Energy,...

Arsenic, microbes and contaminated aquifers
Ronald S. Oremland, John F. Stolz
2005, Trends in Microbiology (13) 45-49
The health of tens of millions of people world-wide is at risk from drinking arsenic-contaminated well water. In most cases this arsenic occurs naturally within the sub-surface aquifers, rather than being derived from identifiable point sources of pollution. The mobilization of arsenic into the aqueous phase is the first crucial...

Lyn Benjamin, LeRoy L. Knobel, L. Flint Hall, L. DeWayne Cecil, Jaromy R. Green
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2004-5126
Linear-regression analysis was applied to stable hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) isotope data in 72 snow-core and precipitation samples collected during 1999-2001 to determine the Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) for southeastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and south-central Montana. On the basis of (1) residuals from the regression model, (2) comparison...
Ground water to surface water: Chemistry of thermal outflows in Yellowstone National Park
D. Kirk Nordstrom, James W. Ball, R. Blaine McCleskey
2005, Book chapter, Geothermal biology and geochemistry in Yellowstone National Park
Geothermal waters in the earth’s subsurface boil with steam separation and may mix with dilute ground waters (that may or may not contain sulfuric acid from sulfur oxidation), resulting in a wide range of compositions when they discharge and emerge at the surface. As they discharge onto the ground surface...
