Preliminary delineation of contaminated water-bearing fractures intersected by open-hole bedrock wells

Contaminated water‐bearing fractures intersected by open‐hole bedrock wells were preliminarily delineated through a combination of geophysical logging, vertical‐flow measurements, and downhole water sampling as part of remedial site investigations in southeastern New York. The wells investigated range from 100 to 450 feet in depth, have only shallow surface casing, and intersect multiple water‐bea

Geochemical comparison of ground water in areas of New England, New York, and Pennsylvania

In New England, the ground-water geochemistry results mainly from the reaction of CO2-charged water with feldspar and other primary silicates. Water in the New England bedrock is more highly evolved geochemically than water in the drift, presumably as a result of its longer residence time. In the New York area, the geochemistry of water in both types of aquifers results mainly from carbonate-miner

Potential yields of wells in unconsolidated aquifers in upstate New York — Hudson-Mohawk sheet

This map shows the location and potential well yields of unconsolidated aquifers in the Hudson-Mohawk region at a scale of 1:250,000. It also delineates segments of aquifers that are heavily used by community water systems and designated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as ' Primary Water Supply ' aquifers, and cites published reports that give detailed information on

Hydrogeology of the Olean area, Cattaraugus County, New York

Most principal aquifers in upstate New York are unconsolidated glacial and alluvial deposits within bedrock valleys. Groundwater in these aquifers can be under either water table (unconfined) or artesian (confined) conditions. Farms, industries, or towns and cities have been built upon many of these aquifers because they form level areas suitable for development and generally provide an ample grou

Surficial geology of Panther Lake quadrangle, Oswego County, New York

The location and extent of eight kinds of surficial deposits in Panther Lake quadrangle, Oswego County, N.Y., are mapped on a 7.5-minute U.S. Geological Survey topographic map. The map was compiled to indicate the lithology and potential for groundwater development at any specific location.

Surficial geology of Dugway quadrangle, Oswego County, New York

The location and extent of 11 kinds of surficial deposits in Dugway quadrangle, Oswego County, N.Y., are mapped on a 7.5-minute U.S. Geological Survey topographic map. The map was compiled to indicate the tithology and potential for ground-water development at any specific loaction.
