The Tretyakov non-recording precipitation gauge has been used historically as the official precipitation measurement instrument in the Russian (formerly the USSR) climatic and hydrological station network and in a number of other European countries. From 1986 to 1993, the accuracy and performance of this gauge were evaluated during the WMO...
Comment on "Horizontal aquifer movement in a theis-theim confined system" by Donald C. Helm
Paul A. Hsieh, Richard L. Cooley
1995, Water Resources Research (31) 3107-3111
In a recent paper, Helm [1994] presents an analysis of horizontal aquifer movement induced by groundwater withdrawal from a confined aquifer in which fluid and grains are incompressible. The analysis considers the aquifer in isolation (ignoring overlying and underlying strata) and assumes that the aquifer deforms purely in the horizontal...

Hydrologic data were collected from May 1989 through July 1991 from the Cedar River and the adjacent alluvial aquifer. The data were collected during various flow regimes of the river to evaluate the movement of agricultural chemicals between surface water and ground water. Water-quality samples from 34 surface-water sites and...
Pesticides in the atmosphere; distribution, trends, and governing factors
Michael S. Majewski, Paul D. Capel
1995, Open-File Report 94-506
A comprehensive review of existing literature on the occurrence and distribution of pesticides in the atmosphere of the United States and adjoining Canadian provinces showed that the atmosphere is an important part of the hydrologic cycle that acts to distribute and deposit pesticides in areas far removed from their application...
Hydrogeology and geochemistry of acid mine drainage in ground water in the vicinity of Penn Mine and Camanche Reservoir, Calaveras County, California: First-year summary
S. N. Hamlin, Charles N. Alpers
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4040
Acid drainage from the Penn Mine in Calaveras County, California, has caused contamination of ground water between Mine Run Dam and Camanche Reservoir. The Penn Mine was first developed in the 1860's primarily for copper and later produced lesser amounts of zinc, lead, silver, and gold from steeply dipping massive...
A strategy for delineating the area of ground-water contribution to wells completed in fractured bedrock aquifers in Pennsylvania
D. W. Risser, G. J. Barton
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4033
Delineating a contributing area to a well completed in a fractured bedrock aquifer in Pennsylvania is difficult because the hydrogeologic characteristics of fractured rocks are extremely complex. Because of this complexity, a single method or technique to delineate a contributing area will not be applicable for all wells completed in...
Modeling hexavalent chromium reduction in groundwater in field-scale transport and laboratory batch experiments
J.C. Friedly, J.A. Davis, D.B. Kent
1995, Water Resources Research (31) 2783-2794
A plausible and consistent model is developed to obtain a quantitative description of the gradual disappearance of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from groundwater in a small-scale field tracer test and in batch kinetic experiments using aquifer sediments under similar chemical conditions. The data exhibit three distinct timescales. Fast reduction occurs in...
