Ground-water levels and chemical quality in Geauga County, Ohio, 1978

Most ground water used in Geauga County, Ohio, is withdrawn from bedrock aquifers, chiefly sandstones of the Pottsville and Cuyahoga Formations of Pennsylvanian and Mississippian age, respectively. Two potentiometric-surface maps were constructed from water-level measurements of 77 wells and 2 springs made in June and October 1978. The potentiometric surface did not change more than a few feet bet

A model for flow through a glacial outwash aquifer in southeast Franklin County, Ohio

A glacial aquifer of 70 square miles in the Scioto River valley southeast of Columbus, Ohio, was modeled as a potentially major source of water. The model was constructed from available hydrologic data: Records of precipitation, well hydrographs, well logs, two ground-water level surveys, and analyses of six aquifer tests. Utilizing this array of data, water levels determined from a series of stea

Water quality of Rogers Lake, Dakota County, Minnesota

Construction of an interstate highway is planned near Rogers Lake in Dakota County, Minn. Samples of water and bed material were collected at six sites during March 1976 to April 1978 to determine selected physical, chemical, and biological characteristics before construction. Samples were collected at least twice during each season of the year. Data derived from these samples will provide baselin

Winter water - The flooding at Boise, Idaho, January 11-12, 1979

On January 11 and 12, 1979, unseasonally warm temperatures and rain on several inches of snow lying on frozen ground caused widespread flooding in and around Boise, Idaho. Streams north of Boise crested on January 11, flooding neighborhoods in and adjacent to the mountain foothills. On January 12, streams south and west of the city reached their highest stages. Flooding was confined to ground leve

Preliminary map showing availability of water from glacial-drift aquifers in McHenry County, north-central North Dakota

This preliminary map is the first product of the ground-water resources study of McHenry County.  This study is part of a statewide program to determine the location, extent, chemical quality, and hydrologic characteristics of the ground-water reservoirs (aquifers) in North Dakota.  The study was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Dakota State Water Commission, the No

Preliminary map showing availability of ground water from glacial-drift aquifers in Sheridan County, central North Dakota

This preliminary map is the first product of a study of the ground-water resources of Sheridan County.  The study is part of a statewide program to determine the location, extent, and hydrologic characteristics of the ground-water reservoirs (aquifers) in North Dakota.
