Reconnaissance of the ground-water, surface-water system in the Zekiah Swamp Run basin, Charles and Prince Georges Counties, Maryland
H. T. Hopkins, G. T. Fisher, L. J. McGreevy
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4097
The water table in the alluvium of the Zekiah Swamp Run valley in southern Maryland is above stream level during most of the year and the alluvial aquifer contributes water to the stream. During the summer, however, high evapotranspiration sometimes lowers the water table below the stream level. Water then...

Analyses of flood-flow frequency for selected gaging stations in South Dakota through September 1985
E.B. Hoffman, M.E. Freese, D.R. Winter
1986, Open-File Report 86-496
Analyses of flood-flow frequency were made for 80 active continuous-record gaging stations and 105 discontinued crest-stage partial-record stations in South Dakota with 10 or more years of record. The analyses were developed using the log-Pearson Type III procedure recommended by the U.S. Water Resources Council (Interagency Advisory Committee on Water...
Geohydrology of the Wellington-alluvial aquifer system and evaluation of possible locations of relief wells to decrease saline ground-water discharge to the Smoky Hill and Solomon rivers, central Kansas
Joe B. Gillespie, G.D. Hargadine
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4110
Saline water discharges from the alluvial aquifer into the Smoky Hill and Solomon Rivers between New Cambria and Solomon in central Kansas. Chloride concentrations in the Smoky Hill River sometimes exceed 1,000 mg/L during low flow conditions. The source of saline water is the underlying Wellington aquifer, a zone of...

Ground-water data for West Virginia, 1974-84
F.M. Taylor, M.T. Rosier
1986, Open-File Report 86-320
Groundwater investigations began in West Virginia in 1941. As an aid to development and management of the State 's water resources, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey, maintains a network of 31 observation wells throughout the State. Some wells are equipped with...

Subsurface injection of liquid waste with emphasis on injection practices in Florida
John J. Hickey, John Vecchioli
1986, Water Supply Paper 2281
Subsurface injection of liquid waste is used as a disposal method in many parts of the country. It is used particularly when other methods for managing liquid waste are either not possible or too costly. Interest in subsurface injection as a waste-disposal method stems partly from recognition that surface disposal...
Water quality of streams and springs, Green River Basin, Wyoming
L. L. DeLong
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4008
Data concerning salinity, phosphorus, and trace elements in streams and springs within the Green River Basin in Wyoming are summarized. Relative contributions of salinity are shown through estimates of annual loads and average concentrations at 11 water quality measurements sites for the 1970-77 water years. A hypothetical diversion of 20...

Channel-storage/discharge relations for the Peoria and La Grange dams on the Illinois River in Illinois
George Garklavs, A. R. Klinger, D. M. Mades
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4112
The relations between channel storage and discharge at the Peoria and La Grange Dams on the Illinois River are defined. The relations were developed by regressing channel storage against peak discharge at the dams. Peak discharges at the Peoria Dam ranged from 19,700 to 79,500 cu ft/sec, whereas those at...

Hydrogeologic factors in the selection of shallow land burial sites for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste
John N. Fischer
1986, Circular 973
In the United States, low-level radioactive waste is disposed of by shallow land burial. Commercial low-level radioactive waste has been buried at six sites, and low-level radioactive waste generated by the Federal Government has been buried at nine major and several minor sites. Several existing low-level radioactive waste sites have...
Geohydrology and ground-water quality on Shelter Island, Suffolk County, New York, 1983-84

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4165
Shelter Island, with an area of about 11 sq mi, lies between the north and south forks of eastern Long Island in Suffolk County. The thin upper glacial (water table) aquifer contains the lens-shaped freshwater body that is the sole source of freshwater for the Town 's population of about...
Hydrologic effects of withdrawal of ground water on the West Fargo aquifer system, eastern Cass County, North Dakota

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4279
The West Fargo area is underlain by glaciofluvial deposits, which comprise the West Fargo aquifer system* These deposits range in thickness from 5 to 227 feet. The West Fargo aquifer system extends from the vicinity of Argusville, Cass County, to at least as far south as Richland County. The aquifer...
Shallow ground-water resources in the Grand Strand of South Carolina
