Occurrence and availability of ground water in the Athens region, northeastern Georgia
D. B. Radtke, C.W. Cressler, H.A. Perlman, H.E. Blanchard Jr., K.W. McFadden, Rebekah Brooks
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4075
A study was conducted to assess the occurrence and availability of groundwater in the crystalline rocks of the Piedmont area in northeastern Georgia and to determine whether groundwater is a viable alternative or supplemental source for industrial, public and private supplies. The area is underlain by a variety of metamorphic...
Quality of stormwater runoff in the Blue River basin, Missouri and Kansas, July-October 1981 and April-July 1982
D. W. Blevins
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4226
Stormwater-runoff sampling was done at three mainstem stations on the Blue River, Missouri, and three stations on urban tributaries. Concentrations of lead, iron, manganese, zinc, and ammonia nitrogen consistently exceeded Missouri water-quality standards. Many constituents were significantly correlated with large concentrations of suspended sediment from the agricultural areas in the...
Maps and tables showing data and analyses of semiquantitative emmission spectrometry and atomic-absorption spectrophotometry of rock samples, Ugashik, Bristol Bay, and part of Karluk quadrangles, Alaska
Frederic H. Wilson, R. M. O’Leary
1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1539-C
The accompanying maps and tables show analytical data and data analyses from rock samples collected in conjunction with geologic mapping in the Ugashik, Bristol Bay and western Karluck quadrangles from 1979 through 1981. This work was conducted under the auspices of the Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program (AMRAP). A total...
Occurrence of dissolved sodium in ground waters in basalts underlying the Columbia Plateau, Washington
Gilbert C. Bortleson, S.E. Cox
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4005
Basalt aquifers of the Columbia River Basalt Group are a principal source of water for agricultural, domestic, and municipal use. Concern has been expressed in this agriculture-dependent region about problems associated with the use of groundwaters with a high sodium concentration relative to the calcium and magnesium content (high sodium-adsorption...
Reconnaissance of ground-water resources in the North Fork Gunnison River basin, southwestern Colorado
D. J. Ackerman, Tom Brooks
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4230
Aquifers of large areal extent in the North Fork Gunnison River basin are found in the alluvium and bedrock. Alluvial aquifers yielded water with dissolved solids concentrations ranging from 43 to 2,300 mg/L. Dissolved solids concentrations of water samples from the Mesaverde Formation of Late Cretaceous age and the Dakota...
Water resources of Weston County, Wyoming
M.E. Lowry, W. J. Head, J.G. Rankl, J.F. Busby
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4079
Surface water is scarce in Weston County, Wyoming. Groundwater has been developed from rocks ranging in age from Mississippian to Holocene. Adequate supplies for domestic or stock use can be developed from wells generally less than 1,000 ft deep, except in the area underlain by a thick sequence of predominantly...
Regionalization of low-flow characteristics of Tennessee streams
R.H. Bingham
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4191
Procedures for estimating 3-day 2-year, 3-day 10-year, 3-day 20-year, and 7-day 10-year low flows at ungaged stream sites in Tennessee are based on surface geology and drainage area size. One set of equations applies to west Tennessee streams, and another set applies to central and east Tennessee streams. The equations...
Flow testing of the Newberry 2 research drillhole, Newberry volcano, Oregon
S. E. Ingebritsen, W.W. Carothers, Robert H. Mariner, J.S. Gudmundsson, E.A. Sammel
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4133
A 20 hour flow test of the Newberry 2 research drillhole at Newberry Volcano produced about 33,000 kilograms of fluid. The flow rate declined from about 0.8 kilograms per sec to less than 0.3 kilograms per sec during the course of the test. The mass ratio of liquid water to...
Hydrogeology and leachate movement near two chemical-waste sites in Oswego County, New York
H. R. Anderson, Todd S. Miller
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4148
Forty-five observation wells and test holes were installed at two chemical waste disposal sites in Oswego County, New York, to evaluate the hydrogeologic conditions and the rate and direction of leachate migration. At the site near Oswego groundwater moves northward at an average velocity of 0.4 ft/day through unconsolidated glacial...
Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee: the East Tennessee aquifer system
J. V. Brahana, Dolores Mulderink, J. A. Macy, M. W. Bradley
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4091
The east Tennessee aquifer system occurs in the Valley and Ridge and the Blue Ridge provinces of Tennessee. These areas are underlain by rocks of Precambrian to Pennsylvanian age which have been structurally deformed and faulted during the Appalachian orogeny. Groundwater in the Valley and Ridge occurs primarily in solution...
Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee: Cumberland Plateau aquifer system
J. V. Brahana, Jo Ann Macy, Dolores Mulderink, Dawn Zemo
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-338
The Cumberland Plateau aquifer system consists of Pennsylvanian sandstones, conglomerates, shales, and coals which underlie the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. Major water-bearing zones occur within the sandstones and conglomerates in interconnected fractures. The water-bearing formations are separated by shale and siltstone that retard the vertical circulation of ground water. The...
Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee: Basal sandstone west of the Valley and Ridge Province
J. V. Brahana, Mike Bradley, Jo Ann Macy, Dolores Mulderink
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-762
The basal sandstone is a poorly sorted, well indurated sandstone, which lies below the Conasauga Group and above the Precambrian crystalline rocks. It is an unknown resource defined by limited data, with only 14 data points (wells) for the entire State of Tennessee. The basal sandstone is thought to occur...
Ground water in the Long Meadow area and its relation with that in the General Sherman Tree area, Sequoia National Park, California
J. P. Akers
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4178
Westward movement of ground water from the Long Meadow area of Sequoia National Park, California, to the General Sherman Tree area is prevented by an eastward hydraulic gradient and low fracture permeability of a granodiorite ridge separating the two areas. Clay beds present in the alluvium in the Long Meadow...

Kim-Marie Walker, James York, Dennis Murphy, C. E. Sloan
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4143
The National Mapping Division and Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey have produced a digital data base of approximately 23,330 lakes on the North Slope of Alaska.
