1981, Professional Paper 1196
Oil-shale mining activities in Piceance basin in northwestern Colorado could adversely affect the ground- and surface-water quality in the basin. This study of the hydrology and geochemistry of the area used ground-water solute-transport-modeling techniques to investigate the possible impact of the mines on water quality. Maps of the extent and...

Ground-water potential of the glacial deposits near Logansport, Cass County, Indiana
Daniel C. Gillies
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-7
The glacial deposits underlying a 260 square-mile area near Logansport, Indiana, range in thickness from 0 to 300 feet and consist of three semiconfined sand and gravel aquifer units separated and overlain by three semiconfining till units. The ground-water development potential of the lowest of the sand and gravel aquifers...
