Ground-water discharge and base-flow nitrate loads of nontidal streams, and their relation to a hydrogeomorphic classification of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, middle Atlantic Coast Ground-water discharge and base-flow nitrate loads of nontidal streams, and their relation to a hydrogeomorphic classification of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, middle Atlantic Coast

Existing data on base-flow and groundwater nitrate loads were compiled and analyzed to assess the significance of groundwater discharge as a source of the nitrate load to nontidal streams of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. These estimates were then related to hydrogeomorphic settings based on lithology and physiographic province to provide insight on the areal distribution of ground-water...

Water resources data Maryland and Delaware, water year 1996, Volume 1. Surface-water data Water resources data Maryland and Delaware, water year 1996, Volume 1. Surface-water data

Water resources data for the 1996 water year for Maryland and Delaware consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs. This volume (Volume1. Surface-Water Data) contains records for water discharge at 90 gaging stations; stage and contents 1 reservoir; and water quality at 22 gaging stations. Also included are data for 4...

The difference between the potentiometric surfaces of the Magothy Aquifer of September 1975 and September 1995 in southern Maryland The difference between the potentiometric surfaces of the Magothy Aquifer of September 1975 and September 1995 in southern Maryland

A map showing the net change in the poentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer in the Magothy Formation of Cretaceous age in southern Maryland from September 1975 to September 1995 was based on water-level measurements in 67 wells. The map shows that the decline of the potentiometric surface during the 20-year period ranged from 2 to 21 feet in the northernmost part of the study area...
