Approximate changes in water levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-92 and 1991-92, and measured compaction, 1973-91, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
This report is one in a series of reports that depict water-level changes since 1977 and compaction of subsurface material since 1973. The report was prepared in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District and the City of Houston, and presents maps showing the approximate changes in water-levels in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-92 and 1991-92 (f

Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1991-92 in Fort Bend County and adjacent areas, Texas
This report was prepared in cooperation with the Fort Bend Subsidence District, and presents data on water-level changes during 1991-92 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer (fig. 1-2) in Fort Bend County. Water-level change maps were prepared previously by Locke (1990),and Locke and Barbie (1991), for both aquifers, and by Wesselman (1972) for the Chicot aquifer.

Geohydrologic framework of the Snake River plain regional aquifer system, Idaho and eastern Oregon
The Snake River Plain in southern Idaho is a major geologic
structure of uncertain origin. Surface geology is generally well
defined, but subsurface geology is poorly defined below about
500 feet. Rocks that underlie the plain form the framework for a
regional ground-water system that supplies large quantities of
water for irrigation and makes the plain nationally important in
terms of agric

Simulation of regional ground-water flow in the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system in the northern Midwest, United States: in Regional aquifer-system analysis
A six-State area in the northern Midwest of the United States has become increasingly dependent on ground water from the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system, which consists of a sequence of sandstones, carbonate rocks, and shales. Ground-water withdrawals from the aquifer system began in the late 1800's and increased to approximately 684 million gallons per day (1,058 cubic feet per second) by 1980

Hydrogeology of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system in the northern Midwest, United States with a section on ground-water quality
The Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system contains the most extensive and continuous aquifers in the northern Midwest of the United States. It is the source of water for many municipalities, industries, and rural water users. Since the beginning of ground-water development from the aquifer system in the late 1800's, hydraulic heads have declined hundreds of feet in the heavily pumped Chicago-Milwauke

Summary of ground-water hydrology of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system in the northern Midwest, United States
The Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system contains very productive aquifers throughout an area of about 161,000 square miles in the northern Midwest. The aquifer system is used extensively for industrial and rural water supplies and is the primary source of water for many municipalities in most of its area of occurrence, except in Indiana, central and southern Illinois, and western Iowa, where the aq

Hydrology and digital simulation of the regional aquifer system, eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho
The occurrence and movement of water in the regional aquifer
system that underlies the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho, de-
pend on the transmissivity and storage capacity of rocks that
compose the geologic framework and on the distribution and
amount of recharge and discharge of water within that frame-
work. On a regional scale, most water moves horizontally through
interflow zones in Qua

Quality-assurance plan for the analysis of fluvial sediment by laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey
This report describes procedures used by the Iowa District sediment laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey to assure the quality of sediment-laboratory data. These procedures can be used by other U.S. Geological Survey laboratories regardless of size and type of operation for quality assurance and quality control of specific sediment-laboratory processes. Also described are the equipment, specif
