Status of water levels and selected water-quality conditions in the Mississippi River valley alluvial aquifer in eastern Arkansas, 1998
Robert L. Joseph
1999, Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4035
During the spring of 1998, water levels were measured in 656 wells completed in the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer in eastern Arkansas. Water samples were collected during the summer of 1998 from about 140 wells completed in the alluvial aquifer and measured for specific conductance, and samples from 119...
Ground-water quality in alluvial basins that have minimal urban development, south-central Arizona
Dorinda J. Gellenbeck, Alissa L. Coes
1999, Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4005
Ground-water quality data (1917-96) from 772 wells in 16 alluvial basins that have minimal urban development were used to determine the effect of nonurban factors on ground-water quality in south- central Arizona. Characterization of the spatial variability of ground-water quality within and among alluvial basins that have minimal urban development...
Streamflow measurements, basin characteristics, and streamflow statistics for low-flow partial-record stations operated in Massachusetts from 1989 through 1996
Kernell G. Ries III
1999, Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4006
A network of 148 low-flow partial-record stations was operated on streams in Massachusetts during the summers of 1989 through 1996. Streamflow measurements (including historical measurements), measured basin characteristics, and estimated streamflow statistics are provided in the report for each low-flow partial-record station. Also included for each station are location information,...
