Sources of water-use data in Minnesota
L. C. Trotta
1988, Open-File Report 87-544
Since the 1976-77 drought in Minnesota, legislators, planners, and citizens have become aware of the need for water management based on knowledge of water availability and use in order to alleviate local water shortages. In addition to maintaining an adequate supply, information on the amount of water used, where it...

1988, Open-File Report 88-479
Water quality data were collected at numerous surface water and groundwater sites in the San Joaquin Valley, California, from March 1985 through March 1987. Streamflow and physical measurements were made, and water samples for analysis of major ions, trace elements, suspended sediments, and some pesticides were collected at varying frequencies...

U.S. Geological survey program on toxic waste--ground-water contamination; proceedings of the Second technical meeting, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, October 21-25, 1985
S.E. Ragone
1988, Open-File Report 86-481
This study characterizes the clay minerals in sediments associated with a plume of creosote-contaminated groundwater. The plume of contaminated groundwater near Pensacola, FL, is in shallow, permeable, Miocene to Holocene quartz sand and flows southward toward Pensacola Bay. Clay-size fractions were separated from 41 cores, chiefly split-spoon samples at 13...

Application of seismic-refraction techniques to hydrologic studies
F.P. Haeni
1988, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 02-D2
During the past 30 years, seismic-refraction methods have been used extensively in petroleum, mineral, and engineering investigations and to some extent for hydrologic applications. Recent advances in equipment, sound sources, and computer interpretation techniques make seismic refraction a highly effective and economical means of obtaining subsurface data in hydrologic...
Metal biogeochemistry in surface-water systems; a review of principles and concepts
John F. Elder
1988, Circular 1013
Metals are ubiquitous in natural surface-water systems, both as dissolved constituents and as particulate constituents. Although concentrations of many metals are generally very low (hence the common term 'trace metals'), their effects on the water quality and the biota of surfacewater systems are likely to be substantial. Biogeochemical partitioning of...

A well system to recover usable water from a freshwater-saltwater aquifer in Puerto Rico
Allen L. Zack
1988, Water Supply Paper 2328
Aquifers in coastal areas of Puerto Rico commonly contain limited quantities of freshwater that occur as a thin layer at the surface of the water table. Many wells have been abandoned because well screens were inadvertently placed in saltwater parts of the aquifer. A scavenger/production well couple that can be...
Codes for the identification of aquifer names and geologic units in the United States and the Caribbean outlying areas
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1988, Circular 878-C
This standard provides codes to be used for the identification of aquifer names and geologic units in the United States, the Caribbean and other outlying areas. Outlying areas include Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Midway Islands, Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, and miscellaneous Pacific Islands. Each...
Estimated Use of Water in the United States in 1985
Wayne B. Solley, Charles F. Merk, Robert R. Pierce
1988, Circular 1004
Water withdrawals in the United States during 1985 were estimated to average 399,000 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) of freshwater and saline water for offstream uses--10 percent less than the 1980 estimate. Average per-capita use for all offstream uses was 1,650 gallons per day (gal/d) of freshwater and saline water...
