A plume of saline water at the base of the glacial outwash aquifer near Vincennes, Indiana, has been drawn into the municipal well field. However, the average chloride concentration of the municipal water, 30 + or - 5 milligrams per liter, did not change significantly from 1976 to 1979. The...
Preimpoundment water quality of the Wild Rice River, Norman County, Minnesota
L. H. Tornes
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-79
Water samples have been collected at two sites on the Wild Rice River since September 1974 to establish baseline water-quality characteristics before construction of a reservoir for recreation and flood control near Twin Valley, Minn. A decline in water quality between the sites is shown by mean total phosphorus concentrations,...

Plan of study for the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain Regional Aquifer System Analysis
Harold Meisler
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-16
Sediments of Cretaceous to Holocene age compose the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system in an area of 50,000 square miles in parts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. The aquifer system is a major source of water supply in the area. About 1.4 billion...
Quality of urban runoff, Tecolote Creek drainage area, San Diego County, California
James G. Setmire, Wesley L. Bradford
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-70
The quality of storm runoff from a 9.2-square-mile urbanized watershed, Tecolote Creek, San Diego County, Calif., was studied during nine storms from September 1976 through May 1977. Specific conductance reached 2,100 micromhos and total residue concentrations reached 2,770 milligrams per liter. The chemical oxygen demand concentration in 95% of the...
Permeability of covers over low-level radioactive-waste burial trenches, West Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York
David E. Prudic
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-55
Among the facilities at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, near the hamlet of West Valley in the northern part of Cattaraugus County, N.Y., is a State-licensed burial ground for commercial low-level radioactive wastes. The 11-acre burial ground contains a series of trenches excavated in a silty-clay till of...
Ground water in the Piedmont Upland of central Maryland
Claire A. Richardson
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-18
Aquifers in a 130-square-mile area of the central Maryland and Piedmont, are shown to be the sole or principal source of water. The study area is underlain chiefly by crystalline rocks and partly by unaltered sandstones and siltstones. The groundwater is derived from local precipitation and generally occurs under water-table...
Evaluation of remote hydrologic data-acquisition systems, west-central Florida
J.F. Turner Jr., W. M. Woodham
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-102
The study provides an evaluation of the hydrologic applications of a land-line and two satellite data-relay systems operated during 1977-78 in the Southwest Florida Water Management District. These systems were tested to evaluate operational and reliability characteristics. Telephone lines were used to relay data in the land-line system, and the...
Model evaluation of the hydrogeology of the Morris Bridge well field and vicinity in West-Central Florida
Paul D. Ryder, Dale M. Johnson, James M. Gerhart
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-29
The Morris Bridge well field in west-central Florida, which is being developed may have a maximum well-field withdrawal of 40 million gallons per day. The water will be pumped from the Floridan aquifer--a sequence of carbonate rocks about 1,100 feet thick underlying surficial sand and clay deposits. A highly fractured...

1980, Open-File Report 80-210
The water table in the surficial aquifer and the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer in a 1,200-square-mile area in west-central Florida are mapped semiannually by the U.S. Geological Survey. Maps are based on water levels measured in wells each May to coincide with seasonal low levels, and each September...
