Hydrogeology, water quality, and simulation of ground-water-development alternatives in the Usquepaug-Queen ground-water reservoir, southern Rhode Island
David C. Dickerman, John D. Kliever, Janet Radway Stone
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4126
The Usquepaug-Queen River Basin study describes the hydrogeology, water quality, and simulation of pumping from wells for selected ground-water-development alternatives in the ground-water reservoir under average (1975-90) and drought (1963-66) conditions. In general, ground-water quality is suitable for most purposes. The study provides an evaluation of the effects of simulated...
Hydraulic properties and ground-water flow in the St Peter-Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer, Rochester area, southeastern Minnesota

1997, Fact Sheet 114-97
On June 15, 1991, Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines exploded in the second largest volcanic eruption on Earth this century. This eruption deposited more than 1 cubic mile (5 cubic kilometers) of volcanic ash and rock fragments on the volcano's slopes. Within hours, heavy rains began to wash this material...
Natural and mining-related sources of dissolved minerals during low flow in the Upper Animas River Basin, southwestern Colorado
Winfield G. Wright
1997, Fact Sheet 148-97
As part of the Clean Water Act of 1972 (Public Law 92-500), all States are required to establish water-quality standards for every river basin in the State. During 1994, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment proposed to the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission (CWQCC) an aquatic-life standard of...

An optimized network for phosphorus load monitoring for Lake Okeechobee, Florida
W. S. Gain
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4011
Phosphorus load data were evaluated for Lake Okeechobee, Florida, for water years 1982 through 1991. Standard errors for load estimates were computed from available phosphorus concentration and daily discharge data. Components of error were associated with uncertainty in concentration and discharge data and were calculated for existing conditions and for...
Geomorphology of the lower Copper River, Alaska

Time series of trace element concentrations calculated from time series of suspended solids concentrations and RMP water samples: Summary and conclusions
David H. Schoellhamer
1997, Report, 1995 Annual report, San Francisco Estuary Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances
The supply and fate of trace elements in San Francisco Bay, which are partially dependent upon particulate matter in the Estuary, are important management issues. San Francisco Bay receives many waste water discharges, especially in areas south of the Dumbarton Bridge, that contain trace elements that accumulate in benthic organisms...
