Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 -- Mining data
Our Nation's social and economic development has depended on and will continue to depend on the availability of usable water. In 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began publishing water-use data on a national level every 5 years to assist in the management of our Nation's water resources. The USGS currently collects and (or) estimates water-use data for the following categories: public suppl

Water Resources Data, California, Water Year 1992. Volume 5. Ground-Water Data
Water resources data for the 1992 water year for California consist of records of stage, discharge, and water.quality of streams; stage and contents in lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality in wells. This volume of the report series includes records on ground water in California. Additional ground-water information for California is contained in the files, data bases, and other

Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 - Public supply data
Our Nation's social and economic development has depended on and will continue to depend on the availability of usable water. In 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began publishing water-use data on a national level every 5 years to assist in the wise management of our Nation's water resources. The USGS currently collects water-use data for the following categories: public supply, domestic, c

Selected basin characteristics and water-quality data of the Minnesota River basin
Selected basin characteristics and water-quality dam for the Minnesota River Basin are presented in this report as 71 maps, 22 graphs, and 8 tables. The data were compiled as part of a four-year study to identify non-point sources of pollution and the effect of this pollution on water quality. The maps were prepared from geographic information system data bases. Federal, State, and local agencies,

Water resources and the hydrologic effects of coal mining in Washington County, Pennsylvania
Washington County occupies an area of 864 square miles in southwestern Pennsylvania and lies within the Pittsburgh Plateaus Section of the Appalachian Plateaus physiographic province. About 69 percent of the county population is served by public water-supply systems, and the Monongahela River is the source for 78 percent of the public-supply systems. The remaining 31 percent of the population depe

Historical potentiometric surface of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and contiguous hydraulically connected units, west-central Texas
The Edwards-Trinity aquifer system is a sequence of near-surface, hydraulically connected, Cretaceous carbonate and quartzose clastic rocks that underlie about 42,000 mi2 of west-central Texas (fig. 1). The aquifer system is currently (1991) being studied as a part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) program, which is intended to describe the regional hydrogeolo

Historical saturated thickness of the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system and selected contiguous hydraulically connected units, west-central Texas
The Edwards-Trinity Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) is one of 25 completed or ongoing studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey on regional aquifer systems that individually provide essential quantities of ground water to large parts of the country. Underlying about 42,000 mi2 of west-central Texas, the Edwards-Trinity aquifer system extends approximately from Atascosa County in the

Bathymetry of Lake Michie, Durham County, North Carolina, 1990-92
This map report presents the results of a bathymetric survey conducted as part of a 1990-92 study on the effects of sedimentation on Lake Michie, located in northeastern Durham County, North Carolina. Bathymetric data collected at the lake during 1990-92 indicate that, under normal pool conditions at the spillway elevation of 341.0 feet above sea level, the storage volume is 11,070 acre-feet, and

Altitude and configuration of the potentiometric surfaces of the upper and lower aquifer systems in Bridgeton, Nockamixon, and Tinicum Townships, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, April 1991 through April 1992
The mapped area in underlain by layered sedimentary rocks chiefly consisting of shale, mudstone, siltstone, and argillite and by a diabase sheet thtat has intruded the sedimentary rocks. The sedimentary rocks adjacent to the diabase are thermally altered to hornfels. Water levels in shallow wells completed in the diabase indicate the presence of an upper, shallow aquifer system.
