Hydrogeologic conditions and simulation of ground-water flow in the Greater Orlando Metropolitan Area, East-Central Florida
L. C. Murray, K. J. Halford
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4181
A finite-difference ground-water flow model was used to simulate the effects of both modern-day (1988) and projected 2010 ground-water withdrawals on the Floridan aquifer system in the greater Orlando metropolitan area. This area covers about 2,500 square miles and includes all of Orange and Seminole Counties and...
Summary of biological and contaminant investigations related to stream water quality and environmental setting in the Upper Colorado River basin, 1938-95
Jeffrey R. Deacon, Verlin C. Stephens
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4172
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program, an inventory of the biological and contaminant investigations for the Upper Colorado River Basin study unit was conducted. To enhance the sampling design for the biological component of the program, previous studies about the ecology of aquatic organisms...

Simulated peak flows and water-surface profiles for Scott Creek near Sylva, North Carolina
B.F. Pope
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4226
Peak flows were simulated for Scott Creek, just upstream from Sylva, in Jackson County, North Carolina, in order to provide Jackson County officials with information that can be used to improve preparation for and response to flash floods along the reach of Scott Creek that flows through Sylva. A U.S....

Evapotranspiration from successional vegetation in a deforested area of the Lake Wales Ridge, Florida
D. M. Sumner
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4244
The suitability of three evapotranspiration models (Penman-Monteith, Penman, and a modified Priestley-Taylor) was evaluated at a site of successional vegetation in a deforested area of the Lake Wales Ridge, Florida. Eddy correlation measurements of evapotranspiration made during 22 approximately 1-day periods at a temporal resolution of 20 minutes from September...
Comparison of aquatic macroinvertebrate samples collected using different field methods
Bernard N. Lenz, Michael A. Miller
1996, Fact Sheet 216-96
Government agencies, academic institutions, and volunteer monitoring groups in the State of Wisconsin collect aquatic macroinvertebrate data to assess water quality. Sampling methods differ among agencies, reflecting the differences in the sampling objectives of each agency. Lack of infor- mation about data comparability impedes data shar- ing among agencies, which...

Geohydrology of the Stockton Formation and cross-contamination through open boreholes, Hatboro Borough and Warminster Township, Pennsylvania
Ronald A. Sloto, Paola Macchiaroli, Michael T. Towle
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4047
The study area consists of a 9-square-mile area underlain by sedimentary rocks of the middle arkose member of the Stockton Formation of Upper Triassic age. In the Hatboro area, the Stockton Formation strikes approximately N. 65 degrees E. and dps approximately 9 degrees NW. The rocks are chiefly arkosic sandstone...
Use of geophysical logs to estimate the quality of ground water and the permeability of aquifers
J.D. Hudson
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4300
The relation of formation factor to resistivity of formation water and intergranular permeability has often been investigated, and the general consensus is that this relation is closest when established in a clean-sand aquifer in which water quality does not vary substantially. When these restrictions are applied, the following standard equation...

Hydrogeology and chemical quality of water and soil at Carroll Island, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland
F.J. Tenbus, S.W. Phillips
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4169
Carroll Island was used for open-air testing of chemical warfare agents from the late 1940's until 1971. Testing and disposal activities weresuspected of causing environmental contamination at 16 sites on the island. The hydrogeology and chemical quality of ground water, surface water, and soil at...
Water-level data for the Albuquerque Basin, New Mexico, period of record through September 30, 1995
Dale R. Rankin
1996, Open-File Report 96-664-A
The Albuquerque Basin, located in central New Mexico, is about 100 miles long and 25 to 40 miles wide. The basin is defined as the extent of Cenozoic deposits that encompass the structural Rio Grande Rift within the basin. Drinking-water supplies throughout the Albuquerque Basin are currently (1996) obtained solely...
