Water-level altitudes 1995 and water-level changes 1990-95 and 1994-95 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, Fort Bend County and adjacent areas, Texas
This report is one in an annual series of reports that depicts altitudes of water levels and water-level changes since 1990 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in Fort Bend Subsidence District, presents the approximate altitude of water levels (figs. 1, 4), January-February 1995, and approximate changes in water levels (figs. 2, 3, 5, 6), 1990-95 and 1994-95, in each of the aquifers. The most r

Altitude and configuration of the potentiometric surface in part of lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, May and June 1994
A map showing ground-water levels in part of Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, was constructed from water levels measured in 62 wells from May and June 1994. Observed water-level altitudes range from 60 feet above sea level near the Betzwood Picnic Area to 187 feet above sea level near the intersection of Egypt Road and Rittenhouse Road in Lower Providence Township.

Geologic framework and hydrogeologic characteristics of the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, Bexar County, Texas
In Bexar County, residential and commercial development on the Edwards aquifer recharge zone is increasing. The aquifer possibly can be contaminated by spills, leakage of hazardous materials, or runoff from the rapidly developing urban areas that surround, or are built on, the intensely faulted and fractured, karstic limestone outcrops characteristic of the recharge zone. Furthermore, some of the

Effects of combined-sewer overflows and urban runoff on the water quality of Fall Creek, Indianapolis, Indiana
In 1986, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Indianapolis Department of Public Works began a study to evaluate the effects of combined-sewer overflows and urban runoff discharging to Fall Geek on the White River. This report describes the effects of combined-sewer overflows and urban runoff on the water quality of Fall Creek during summer 1987 by comparing the water quality during base flow with th

Water-quality assessment of the upper Snake River Basin, Idaho and western Wyoming — Environmental setting, 1980-92
The 35,800-square-mile upper Snake River
Basin is one of 20 areas studied as part of the
National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA)
Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Objectives of NAWQA are to study ground- and
surface-water quality, biology, and their relations
to land-use activities. Major land and water uses
that affect water quality in the basin are irrigated
agriculture, grazing, a

Land use and water use in the Antelope Valley, California
Urban land use and water use in the Antelope Valley, California, have increased significantly since development of the valley began in the late 1800's.. Ground water has been a major source of water in this area because of limited local surface-water resources. Ground-water pumpage is reported to have increased from about 29,000 acre-feet in 1919 to about 400,000 acre-feet in the 1950's. Completio

Lake-level frequency analysis for Devils Lake, North Dakota
Two approaches were used to estimate future lake-level probabilities for Devils Lake. The first approach is based on an annual lake-volume model, and the second approach is based on a statistical water mass-balance model that generates seasonal lake volumes on the basis of seasonal precipitation, evaporation, and inflow.Autoregressive moving average models were used to model the annual mean lake v

Water-resources data for the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, west-central North Dakota
A study of the water resources of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation was undertaken to characterize the quality and quantity of ground-water and surface-water resources. The purpose of this report is to document the data-collection procedures used during the study and to present the data collected in tabular and graphical form.Ground-water data were collected during May 1990 through November 199

Geographic information system data sets of hydrogeologic conditions in Pequea and Mill Creek watersheds, Pennsylvania; Part II, Hydrogeologic interpretations
This report describes Geographic Information System data sets of ground-water levels, unsaturated-zone thickness, and regolith thickness in the Pequea and Mill Creek watersheds, a 210-square-mile area in Lancaster and Chester Counties, Pa. The data sets, which represent hydrogeologic interpretations, were developed by the use of ARC/INFO software during 1990-93 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in co

Geographic information system data sets of hydrogeologic conditions in Pequea and Mill Creek watersheds, Pennsylvania: Part I — Basic data
This report describes basic data used to develop Geographic Information System data sets of bedrock geology, sinkholes and closed depressions, and spring and well locations attributed with hydro- geologic and water-quality data in the Pequea and Mill Creek watersheds, a 210-square-mile area in Lancaster and Chester Counties, Pa. The data sets, which do not contain hydrogeologic interpretations, we
