1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4362
A study of the Stony Fork basin in southern Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from 1977 through 1980 determined the impacts of surface coal mining on surface-water quality. Stony Fork was sampled at six sites, during which time the area of surface mines increased from 0.5 to 5.5 percent of the study...
Controls on ground-water chemistry in the Horse Heaven Hills, south-central Washington
W.C. Steinkampf, Gilbert C. Bortleson, F. A. Packard
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4048
Miocene basaltic aquifers are the source of domestic and municipal water, and about 20,000 acre-feet of irrigation water annually, in the Horse Heaven Hills in south-central Washington State. Groundwater chemical variations derive from the hydraulic characteristics is of the geohydrologic system, from groundwater basalt reactions, and from irrigation. Some dissolved...
