Water-resources data for North Fork Bens Creek, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, August 1983 through September 1988
Basin and climatological characteristics, quality-assurance data and results, and water-resources data for North Fork Bens Creek, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania are available from August 1983 through September 1988. The lowest temperature (-30. 0 C) was recorded during January 1985, and the highest temperature (36.7 C) was recorded during July 1988. Snowfall accumulates mostly during January and

Chemical and physical data related to ground water in the vicinity of abandoned uraniferous lignite mines, western North Dakota, December 1983 through June 1988
Geochemical and hydrologic data were collected in and around six abandoned uranlferous lignite mines in western North Dakota during December 1983 through June 1988. These data Include well construction and field water-quality data for 224 wells, test holes, and springs. Also Included are water levels in selected wells, lithologlc logs of selected wells and test holes, physical properties and major

Records of wells, drillers' logs, water-level measurements, and chemical analyses of ground water in Harris and Galveston Counties, Texas, 1984-89
Data for water wells and ground water in Harris and Galveston Counties were collected during 1984-89 by the U.S. Geological Survey. This report presents a compilation of records for 243 wells in Harris and Galveston Counties and drillers' logs for 174 of these wells. Water-level data and chemical-quality data of water for new and previously inventoried wells were also collected. Water levels in 52

National Water-Quality Assessment Program - Red River of the North
In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began to implement a full-scale National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. The long-term goals of the NAWQA program are to describe the status and trends in the quality of a large, representative part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources, and to provide a sound scientific understanding of the primary natural and human factors affect

Herbicides in surface waters of the midwestern United States: The effect of spring flush
Approximately three-fourths of all preemergent herbicides used in the United States are applied to row crops over a 12-state area, called the "corn belt" (I). The application of these compounds may cause widespread degradation of water quality (2). Because herbicides are water soluble, there is the potential for leaching into groundwater and surface water (3, 4), as well as aerial transport and Oc

Balloon and core sampling for determining bulk density of alluvial desert soil
Samples were collected from major strata in the upper 5 m of an alluvial soil profile in the Amargosa Desert of southern Nevada to compare rubber-balloon and drive-core bulk-density measurement methods. For strate where the fine soil was <82% sand and <15% clay, differences between total and fine-soil bulk-density values determined by the two methods were typically <10 and 15%, respectively, even
