Hydrology of the Castle Lake blockage, Mount St. Helens, Washington
William Meyer, M. A. Sabol
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4272
The debris avalanche that occurred during the May 19, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens blocked South Fork Castle Creek and created Castle Lake. Stability of the blockage was of concern, and a digital model that simulates three-dimensional groundwater movement in the blockage was constructed as part of the analysis...

1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4041
Results of studies of the aquatic biology of the upper Illinois River basin provide a historical data source from which inferences can be made about changes in the quality of water in the main stem river and its tributaries. The results of biological investigations that have been conducted throughout the...
Water-quality characteristics of the Columbia Plateau regional aquifer system in parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho
W.C. Steinkampf
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4242
Water quality data for the period 1982 through 1983 from about 350 wells in three Miocene basalt units in the Columbia Plateau regional aquifer system, Washington, show that the quality of groundwater generally is suitable for most uses. The dominant water type is calcium magnesium bicarbonate at shallow depths, and...
Lithologic, geophysical, and well-construction data for observation wells in the Melton Valley area, Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee
Patrick Tucci, D. W. Hanchar
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4197
Nineteen wells were installed at nine sites in the Melton Valley area. The wells are intended to provide information on water levels in both regolith and bedrock, aquifer characteristics, and subsurface lithology. Well depths range from 24 to 86 ft for shallow wells, and from 126 to 301 ft for...

Water quality and supply on Cortina Rancheria, Colusa County, California
E.B. Yates
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4004
Cortina Rancheria covers an area of 1 sq mi in Colusa County, California, near the western edge of the Sacramento Valley. Local sources of water for residents of the rancheria are of poor quality or limited availability. Domestic needs are presently met by water from a hand-dug well and from...

Effect of urban runoff on the quality of lakes in Eagan, Minnesota
L. H. Tornes
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4331
Sixteen lakes in the city of Eagan, Minnesota, were sampled during 1982-83 to detect water-quality changes that might have occurred because of urbanization since a previous study conducted during 1972-78. Each of the lakes was sampled five times to determine pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, transparency, and concentration...
Geohydrology and susceptibility of major aquifers to surface contamination in Alabama; area 3
V.E. Stricklin
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4120
This report delineates and describes the geohydrology and the susceptibility to contamination of the major aquifers in Area 3--Cullman, Fayette, Lamar, Marion, Walker, and Winston Counties , Alabama. The major aquifers in the study area are the Tuscaloosa, Pottsville, and Bangor aquifers. The Pottsville aquifer is the most extensively used...

1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4196
Standard and reference samples of the International Humic Substances Society have been characterized by solution state carbon-13 and hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry. Samples included the Suwannee River, soil, and peat standard fulvic and humic acids, the Leonardite standard humic acid, the Nordic aquatic reference fulvic and humic acids,...
Simulation analysis of the ground-water system in Mesozoic rocks in the Four Corners area, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico
