A finite-element model for simulating hydraulic interchange of surface and ground water
K. C. Glover
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4319
A model was developed to be useful for predicting changes in streamflow as a result of groundwater pumping. The stream aquifer model is especially useful for simulating streams that flow intermittently owing to leakage to the aquifer or diversion for irrigation or streams that become perched owing to declining hydraulic...
Ground-water flow and solute transport at a municipal landfill site on Long Island, New York — Part 2: Simulation of ground-water flow
E. J. Wexler, P. E. Maus
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4106
Data on the hydrogeology of a 26-sq-mi area surrounding the Brookhaven landfill site in central Suffolk County were collected as part of a hydrologic investigation of solute transport from the site. These data were used to develop a steady-state groundwater flow model of the upper glacial (water table) aquifer in...

1988, Open-File Report 88-342
Hydrologic data related to water level measurements made in observation wells in western and south-central Kansas are listed. The measurements were made in midwinter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data...
