Geology, hydrology, and ground-water quality of the Galena-Platteville aquifer in the vicinity of the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund Site, Belvidere, Illinois
The geology, hydrology, and distribution of contaminants in the Galena-Platteville aquifer in the vicinity of the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site in northeastern Belvidere, Ill., were characterized on the basis of data collected from boreholes using geophysical logging and packer assemblies. Horizontal flow in the Galena-Platteville aquifer is affected by a network of subhorizontal fractur

Delineation of groundwater recharge areas, western Cape Cod, Massachusetts
The unconfined sand-and-gravel aquifer in western Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which is the sole source of water supply for the communities in the area, is recharged primarily from precipitation. The rate of recharge from precipitation is estimated to be about 26 inches per year (in/yr), or about 60 percent of the precipitation rate. This recharge rate yields a flow through the aquifer of about 180 mi

Evaluation of a Method of Estimating Low-Flow Frequencies from Base-Flow Measurements at Indiana Streams
A mathematical technique of estimating low-flow frequencies from base-flow measurements was evaluated by using data for streams in Indiana. Low-flow frequencies at low-flow partial-record stations were estimated by relating base-flow measurements to concurrent daily flows at nearby streamflow-gaging stations (index stations) for which low-flow- frequency curves had been developed. A network of lon

Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 2000
This is the thirty-seventh in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, published cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources and Division of Water Rights, provide data to enable interested parties to maintain awareness of changing ground-water conditions.This report, l

Creating a standardized watersheds database for the Lower Rio Grande/Río Bravo, Texas
This report describes the creation of a large-scale watershed database for the lower Rio Grande/Río Bravo Basin in Texas. The watershed database includes watersheds delineated to all 1:24,000-scale mapped stream confluences and other hydrologically significant points, selected watershed characteristics, and hydrologic derivative datasets.Computer technology allows generation of preliminary watersh

Nutrient pollution of coastal rivers, bays, and seas
Over the past 40 years, antipollution laws have greatly reduced discharges of toxic substances into our coastal waters. This effort, however, has focused largely on point-source pollution of industrial and municipal effluent. No comparable effort has been made to restrict the input of nitrogen (N) from municipal effluent, nor to control the flows of N and phosphorus (P) that enter waterways fro

Water Resources Data - New Jersey, Water Year 1999, Volume 3, Water-Quality Data
Water-resources data for the 1999 water year for New Jersey are presented in three volumes, and consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. Volume 3 contains a summary of surface and ground water hydrologic conditions for the 1999 water year, a listing of current water-resourc
