Ground-water contamination by crude oil at the Bemidji, Minnesota, research site; US Geological Survey Toxic Waste--ground-water contamination study
M. F. Hult, editor(s)
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4188
The U.S. Geological Survey has begun a research project to improve understanding of the mobilization, transport, and fate of petroleum contaminants in the shallow subsurface and to use this understanding to develop predictive models of contaminant behavior. The project site is near Bemidji in northern Minnesota where an accidental spill of...
Hydrogeologic setting and the potentiometric surfaces of regional aquifers in the Hollandale Embayment, southeastern Minnesota, 1970-80
G. N. Delin, D. G. Woodward
1984, Water Supply Paper 2219
Sedimentary Paleozoic rocks in the Hollandale embayment in southeastern Minnesota are as thick as 2,000 ft. This sedimentary sequence, together with the Proterozoic Hinckley Sandstone and the Quaternary drift, is divided into six regional aquifers: undifferentiated drift, Upper Carbonate, St. Peter, Prairie du Chien-Jordan, Ironton-Galesville, and Mount Simon-Hinckley. Potentiometric-surface maps for...
Water-quality appraisal, Mammoth Creek and Hot Creek, Mono County, California
J. G. Setmire
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4060
A late summer reconnaissance in 1981 and a spring high-flow sampling in 1982 of Mammoth Creek and Hot Creek, located in the Mammoth crest area of the Sierra Nevada, indicated that mineralization, eutrophication, sedimentation, and limited areas of fecal contamination were occurring. Mineralization, indicated by a downstream increase in dissolved-solids...
Availability and quality of water from the Dakota aquifer, northwest Iowa
M. R. Burkart
1984, Water Supply Paper 2215
The Dakota aquifer in northwest Iowa consists of sandstones in the Dakota Formation. It underlies most of the study area and is the most extensive source of ground water in the area. Individual sandstone beds are from less than 10 to more than 150 feet thick. The cumulative thickness of...
National water summary 1983: Hydrologic events and issues
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1984, Water Supply Paper 2250
The United States as a Nation possesses abundant water resources and has developed and used those resources extensively. The national renewable supply of water is about 1,400 billion gallons per day (for the conterminous 48 States). Approximately 380 billion gallons per day of freshwater is withdrawn for use by the...
Design of a ground-water-quality monitoring network for the Salinas River basin, California
P. K. Showalter, J. P. Akers, L.A. Swain
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4049
A regional ground-water quality monitoring network for the entire Salinas River drainage basin was designed to meet the needs of the California State Water Resources Control Board. The project included phase 1--identifying monitoring networks that exist in the region; phase 2--collecting information about the wells in each network; and phase...
Appraisal of data for ground-water quality in Nebraska
R. A. Engberg
1984, Water Supply Paper 2245
This report summarizes existing data for groundwater quality in Nebraska and indicates their adequacy as a data base. Analyses have been made of water from nearly 10,000 wells by 8 agencies. Those analyses that meet reliability criteria have been aggregated by geologic source of water into four principal aquifer groupings--Holocene-Pleistocene...
Gazetteer of hydrologic characteristics of streams in Massachusetts — Taunton and Ten Mile River basins and coastal river basins of Mount Hope Bay, Narragansett Bay, and Rhode Island Sound
S. W. Wandle, G. R. Keezer
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4283
The study area includes streams draining the Taunton River (562 square miles), the Tenmile River (53.1 square miles), and the minor streams flowing into Mount Hope Bay, Narragansett Bay, and Rhode Island Sound in southern Massachusetts, and adjacent areas of Rhode Island. Drainage areas, using the latest available 1:24 ,000...
Summary of results of an investigation to define the geohydrology and simulate the effects of large ground-water withdrawals on the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in northwestern Mississippi
D. M. Sumner, B. E. Wasson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4343
The 7,000 square-mile Mississippi River alluvial plain in north-western Mississippi (the Delta) is underlain by the prolific Mississippi River alluvial aquifer that currently (1983) yields about 1,100 Mgal/d of water to irrigation wells. Commonly, about 20 feet of clay underlying the Delta land surface is underlain by about 80 to...
Reconnaissance geologic map of the Janban Quadrangle, sheet 20/44 B, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
M. R. Brock
1984, Open-File Report 84-390
The Janban quadrangle, 20/44B, lies along the eastern margin of the Arabian Shield. The oldest rocks comprise the Precambrian Namtah Formation of the Halaban(?) group, and consist of basalt, dacite, siltstone, and calcareous greywacke metamorphosed in the lower amphibolite facies. Metamorphic rocks of uncertain Precambrian age in the northern part...
Hydrology of Prairie Dog Creek Valley, Norton Dam to state line, north-central Kansas
L.E. Stullken
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4162
Development of water resources has been a major factor in the economy of Prairie Dog Creek Valley in north-central Kansas. Releases from Norton Reservoir to the Almena Irrigation District averaged 6,900 acre-feet per year during 1967-76. The number of irrigation wells increased from 4 to 147 during 1947-78. Ground water...
