Geohydrology and potential for artificial recharge in the western part of the U.S. Marine Corps Base, Twentynine Palms, California, 1982-83
J. P. Akers
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4119
A recent gravity survey indicates that sedimentary deposits in the Deadman Lake area of the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, California, are as much as 10,500 feet thick. These deposits fill an ancient valley in the bedrock complex. This valley is alined east-west in the Surprise Spring area and north-south...
Estimation of recharge rates to the sand and gravel aquifer using environmental tritium, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
Jayne Fifield Knott, Julio C. Olimpio
1986, Water Supply Paper 2297
Estimation of the average annual rate of ground-water recharge to sand and gravel aquifers using elevated tritium concentrations in ground water is an alternative to traditional steady-state and water-balance recharge-rate methods. The concept of the tritium tracer method is that the average annual rate of ground-water recharge over a period...

Theoretical technique for predicting the cumulative impact of iron and manganese oxidation in streams receiving discharge from coal mines
Keith E. Bobay
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4039
Two U.S. Geological Survey computer programs are modified and linked to predict the cumulative impact of iron and manganese oxidation in coal-mine discharge water on the dissolved chemical quality of a receiving stream. The coupled programs calculate the changes in dissolved iron, dissolved manganese, and dissolved oxygen concentrations; alkalinity; and,...

Gas-film coefficients for the volatilization of ketones from water
R. E. Rathbun, D. Y. Tai
1986, Water Supply Paper 2286
Volatilization is a significant process in determining the fate of many organic compounds in streams and rivers. Quantifying this process requires knowledge of the mass-transfer coefficient from water, which is a function of the gas-film and liquid-film coefficients. The gas-film coefficient can be determined by measuring the flux for the...

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...
Preliminary map showing the thickness of glacial deposits in Ohio
D. R. Soller
1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1862
This map was compiled as part of a U.S. Geological Survey project to portray the character and thickness of glacial deposits east of the Rocky Mountains. It is a preliminary map, compiled at a scale of 1:250,000 from sources of differing type and quality (fig. I, table 1). County drift-thickness...
Benthic invertebrate population characteristics as affected by water quality in coal-bearing regions of Tennessee
A.D. Bradfield
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4227
Benthic invertebrate and water quality data collected during previous U.S. Geological Survey studies to provide background hydrologic information on streams draining Tennessee coal reserves, were evaluated to identify possible relations between stream biota and water quality. Linear regressions produced low correlation coefficients relating the number of taxa/sample, total number of...
Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee– Tertiary aquifer system
J. V. Brahana, M. W. Bradley, Dolores Mulderink
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4011
The Tertiary aquifer system in Tennessee is composed of sands and clays of Quaternary and Tertiary age. The aquifer system occurs in west Tennessee from the Mississippi River east to the outcrop of the Porters Creek Clay. Groundwater in the Tertiary aquifer system is recharged at outcrops and through overlying...
