Geology and ground-water resources in the Zebulon area, Georgia
The current (1991) surface-water source of drinking-water supply for the city of Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, no longer provides an adequate water supply and periodically does not meet water-quality standards. The hydrogeology of crystalline rocks in the Zebulon area was evaluated to assess the potential of ground-water resources as a supplemental or alternative source of water to present surfac

Hydrogeologic framework of U.S. Marine Corps Base at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina
The hydrogeologic framework at Camp Lejeune consists of the surficial, Castle Hayne, Beaufort, and Peedee aquifers and intervening confining units. The Castle Hayne aquifer furnishes about 7 million gallons of water per day to Camp Lejeune, but the surficial, Beaufort, and Peedee aquifers, which contain freshwater in places, are not used for supply.
The Castle Hayne aquifer is composed of 60 to 9

Ground-water withdrawals, water levels, and ground-water quality in the Houston district, Texas, with emphasis on 1985-89
This report is one in a series of reports prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning in 1937, on the ground-water resources in the Houston district. The Houston district includes Harris and Galveston Counties, and parts of Brazoria, Fort Bend, Waller, Montgomery, Liberty, and Chambers Counties. The primary emphasis of this report includes ground-water resources information for the district

Hydrogeology, geochemistry, and quality of water of The Basin and Oak Spring areas of the Chisos Mountains, Big Bend National Park, Texas
Test drilling near two sewage lagoons in The Basin area of the Chisos Mountains, Big Bend National Park, Texas, has shown that the alluvium and colluvium on which the lagoons are located is not saturated in the immediate vicinity of the lagoons. A shallow aquifer, therefore, does not exist in this critical area at and near the lagoons. Should seepage outflow from the lagoons occur, the effluent fr

U.S. Geological Survey; North Carolina's water resources; a partnership with State, Federal and local agencies
For more than 80 years, the Federal-State Cooperative Program in North Carolina has been an effective partnership that provides timely water information for all levels of government. The cooperative program has raised awareness of State and local water problems and issues and has enhanced transfer and exchange of scientific information. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts statewide water-re

Hydrologic and water-quality data in selected agricultural drainages in Beaufort and Hyde Counties, North Carolina, 1990-92
An investigation was begun in 1988 to: (1) quantify nutrient, sediment, and freshwater loadings in canals that collect drainage from cropland field ditches; (2) determine the effects of tide gates and flashboard risers on these loadings and on receiving water quality; and (3) characterize the effects of drainage on the salinity regime of a tidal creek. Data were collected in three canals in Hyde C

Simulation of unsteady flow in the Roanoke River from near Oak City to Williamston, North Carolina
A one-dimensional, unsteady-flow model was calibrated, validated, and applied to a 30.4-mile reach of the Roanoke River between State Highway 42-11 bridge near Oak City (river mile 67.0) and U.S. Highway 17-13 bridge (river mile 36.6) at Williamston, North Carolina. The model was calibrated and validated for water levels ranging from 5.62 to 16.44 feet at river mile 67.0, and for flows ranging fro

Surface- and ground-water quality data at selected landfill sites in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1979-92
The U.S. Geological Survey initiated an urban water-quality study in 1979 in cooperation with the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. As part of this study, a water-quality monitoring network was established at selected landfill sites in Mecklenburg County. Water-quality samples were collected at 27 surface-water sites and 97 ground-water sites at 5 landfills from 1979-92. Sa
