Geohydrologic setting of and seepage from a water-supply canal, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana
William R. Meyer
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-115
The Indianapolis Water Company Canal is underlain by alluvial and outwash deposits. The water level in the canal on July 21, 1978, was above the water table along the entire reach of the canal upstream from the Fall Creek aqueduct, and, therefore, water was seeping downward from the canal into...
Effects of seepage from fly-ash settling ponds and construction dewatering on ground-water levels in the Cowles unit, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana
William R. Meyer, Patrick Tucci
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-138
Part of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore shares a common boundary with the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO). This area is underlain by unconsolidated deposits approximately 180 feet thick. NIPSCO accumulates fly ash from the burning of coal in electric-power generating units in settling ponds. Seepage from the ponds...
Water-quality conditions in the New River, Imperial County, California
James G. Setmire
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-86
The New River, when entering the United States at Calexico, Calif., often contains materials which have the appearance of industrial and domestic wastes. Passage of some of these materials is recognized by a sudden increase in turbidity over background levels and the presence of white particulate matter. Water samples taken...
Interim data report on the geohydrology of the proposed waste isolation pilot plant site, southeast New Mexico
Jerry W. Mercer, R.B. Orr
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-98
Data collected at the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in southeast New Mexico through September 1977 help define hydrologic conditions at the contact between the Permian Rustler and Salado Formations, and Culebra and Magenta Dolomite Members of the Rustler Formation. Preliminary calculations of transmissivity along the Rustler-Salado contact range...
Contamination potential in the Silurian Dolomite aquifer, eastern Wisconsin
M.G. Sherrill
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-108
The Silurian dolomite aquifer is used for water supply in much of a 14-county area bordering Lake Michigan in eastern Wisconsin. Because of the rapidity of ground-water movement, the aquifer is susceptible to contamination by waters percolating downward from surface sources. Maps showing the distribution of permeability, the thickness of...
Water-table map of Kenosha County, Wisconsin
M.G. Sherrill, J.J. Schiller
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-39
A map (scale 1:100,000) of the water table in Kenosha County in southeastern Wisconsin was prepared using water levels from more than 200 wells. The work was done as a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The map shows the altitude of...
Water quality of selected streams in the coal area of east-central Montana
P. W. McKinley
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-142
In October 1975 the U.S. Geological Survey established a network of nine data-collection stations on eight streams in Montana to monitor water quality in potential coal-mining areas. The report summarizes and evaluates the water-quality data that have been collected during the first 2 years (3 years for 1 station) of...
Bibliography of geology and hydrology, eastern New Mexico
Ann Finley Wright
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-76
The High Plains of the eastern New Mexico region are recognized as an abundant and varied source of natural resources. The bibliography of over 1,900 references concerned with geology, hydrology, chemistry, and geography has been compiled to assist physical science researchers in their study of this region. (Kosco-USGS)...
Plan of study for the northern Midwest regional aquifer-system analysis
W. L. Steinhilber, H. L. Young
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-44
Sedimentary rocks of Cambrian and Ordovician age form a major aquifer system in most of Wisconsin and Iowa, northern Illinois, northwestern Indiana, southeastern Minnesota, and northern Missouri. Many metropolitan areas depend on the aquifer for all or part of their water supplies. Declines in potentiometric head have been large in...
Water-quality characteristics of streams in forested and rural areas of North Carolina
Clyde E. Simmons, Ralph C. Heath
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-108
Data collected in North Carolina during 1973-78 from a statewide network of 39 rural sampling sites were used to define unpolluted or baseline stream quality. The basins were 90 to 100 percent forested and, except for the unknown effects of air pollution, were relatively unaffected by man 's activities. Five...
Use of the STORM model for estimating the quantity and quality of runoff from the metropolitan area of Houston, Texas
Kidd M. Waddell, Bernard C. Massey, Marshall E. Jennings
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-74
The "STORM" model, developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was selected from existing models and adapted to use available data to compute runoff from the Houston, Texas, area and to compute the loads and concentrations of biochemicaloxygen demand, dissolved solids, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and...
Water resources of the Nisqually Lake area, Pierce County, Washington
H. E. Pearson, N. P. Dion
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-101
This report presents data assembled during a July 1975 to August 1977 study of the water resources of an area within, and adjacent to, a part of the Fort Lewis Military Reservation that prior to 1917 was included in the Nisqually Indian Reservation. Because the area is within or near...

The principal water-yielding formation (unconsolidated aquifer) supplying water to wells in west-central Kansas is comprised of the Ogallala Formation and undifferentiated Pleistocene deposits. About 1,860 square miles of the area are underlain by sufficient saturated material to supply groundwater for irrigation. Saturated thickness in the area ranges from less than...
