Julio C. Olimpio
1984, Water Supply Paper 2226
A low-level radioactive-waste burial site is located in Palos Forest Preserve, about 22 kilometers southwest of Chicago, Illinois. Between 1943 and 1949 the site, named Plot M, was filled with radioactive waste from the first Argonne National Laboratory and from the University of Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory. Since 1973, tritium concentration...

Nitrate in the Columbia Aquifer, central Delmarva Peninsula, Maryland
L. J. Bachman
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4322
A study of nitrate in water from 604 wells tapping the Columbia aquifer on the Delmarva Peninsula in eastern Maryland describes the factors that affect nitrate variability. Samples were collected from 196 randomly selected wells and analyzed for nitrogen species. Many were also analyzed for major ions. In addition, results...
Streamflow augmentation at Fosters Brook, Long Island, New York — A hydraulic feasibility study
Keith R. Prince
1984, Water Supply Paper 2208
A 27-day streamflow augmentation test was conducted in December 1979 at Fosters Brook, near the south shore of Long Island, to investigate the hydraulic feasibility of pumping ground water to supply flow to an ephemeral stream during dry periods. Measurements of soil moisture in the unsaturated zone beneath the streambed...
Ground-water monitoring at Santa Barbara, California: Phase 2 — Effects of pumping on water levels and on water quality in the Santa Barbara ground-water basin
Peter Martin
1984, Water Supply Paper 2197
From July 1978 to January 1980, water levels in the southern part of the Santa Barbara ground-water basin declined more than 100 feet. These water-level declines resulted from increases in municipal pumping since July 1978. The increase in municipal pumping was part of a basin-testing program designed to determine the...

Temporal dynamics and ecological significance of salinity stratification in an estuary (south San-Francisco Bay, USA)
James E. Cloern
1984, Oceanologica Acta (7) 137-141
South San Francisco Bay (USA) has periodic variations in salinity stratification that coïncide with neap-spring tidal variations during the winter "wet" season, but it remains well-mixed during summer and fall. The degree of salinity stratification, and timing of stratification events, can be predicted from a simple empirical function of river...
Gas exchange rates across the sediment-water and air-water interfaces in south San Francisco Bay

Roy A. Walters
J. P. Laible, C.A. Brebbia, W. Gray, G. Pinder, editor(s)
1984, Book chapter, Finite elements in water resources
In this paper, the shallow water equations are used to approximate the depth-mean circulation in estuaries. The time scales of the motions can be conveniently divided into three ranges: 1) low-frequency (residual) variations with periods of two days or longer, 2) tidal-frequency variations, and 3) high-frequency variations with periods of...

Victor S. Kennedy, editor(s)
1984, Book chapter, The estuary as a filter
Estuarine processes can be effective in modifying (filtering) distributions of dissolved inorganic forms of carbon (DIC), silicon (DIS), nitrogen (DIN), and phosphorus (DIP) in northern San Francisco Bay. During winter, high inflow from the Sacramento-San Joaquin river system supplied these nutrients to the estuary at rates that exceeded potential rates...
