1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4131
The headwaters of the Conestoga River are being studied to determine the effects of agricultural Best-Management Practices on surface-water and ground-water quality. As part of this study, a 5.82-square-mile area of the Little Conestoga Creek headwaters (Small Watershed) was monitored during 1984-86, prior to implementation of Best-Management Practices. This report...
Sediment properties and water movement through shallow unsaturated alluvium at an arid site for disposal of low-level radioactive waste near Beatty, Nye County, Nevada
Jeffrey M. Fischer
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4032
A commercial disposal facility for low-level radioactive waste has been in operation near Beatty, Nevada, since 1962. The facility is in the arid Amargosa Desert where wastes are buried in trenches excavated into unsaturated alluvial sediments. Thick unsaturated zones in arid environments offer many potential advantages for disposal of radioactive...

Luis Santiago-Rivera
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4063
This report presents analyses of low-flow data for 12 continuous-record streamflow gaging stations and 81 partial-record sites in eastern Puerto Rico. Information on low-flow magnitude and frequency is essential in hydrologic studies and for optimum development of surface water resources. The report includes analyses of low-flow data and...
Hydrogeology, water quality, and potential for transport of organochlorine pesticides in ground water at the North Hollywood Dump, Memphis, Tennessee
R. E. Broshears, M. W. Bradley
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4022
Geologic, hydrologic, and water-quality data indicate that ground-water contamination is confined to shallow horizons within the unconfined aquifer underlying the North Hollywood Dump in Memphis, Tennessee. The dump is a closed municipal-industrial landfill that has been ranked as Tennessee's potentially most dangerous hazardous-waste site. Toxic constituents of concern at the...
