Water-quality conditions in southern Rockingham County, New Hampshire Water-quality conditions in southern Rockingham County, New Hampshire

Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water were measured at 26 surface-water sites, 17 ground-water sites, and in effluent from two sanitary landfills as part of planning for area-wide waste management in four watersheds within the Southern Rockingham Regional Planning District in Southern New Hampshire.

Computer modeling of ground-water availability in the Pootatuck River Valley, Newtown, Connecticut Computer modeling of ground-water availability in the Pootatuck River Valley, Newtown, Connecticut

A hydrologic analysis of the stratified drift in Newtown, Conn., based on available data, test drilling, seismic refraction profiling, and the stream-aquifer connection was performed using a digital computer model. Simulated pumping indicates that a total of 4.0 million gallons of water per day (Mgal/d) can be withdrawn from the stream-aquifer system. A minimum of 2.5 Mgal/d is available...

Availability of ground water in the lower Connecticut River basin, southwestern New Hampshire Availability of ground water in the lower Connecticut River basin, southwestern New Hampshire

This map scale 1:125,000 presents a preliminary assessment of the availability of ground water in the lower Connecticut River basin in southwestern New Hampshire. It is a generalization of several hydrogeologic factors and provides a guideline for ground-water exploration useful in water- and land-use planning. It does not describe the absolute quantity or quality of ground water...

Availability of ground water in the Piscataqua and other coastal river basins southeastern New Hampshire Availability of ground water in the Piscataqua and other coastal river basins southeastern New Hampshire

This map (scale 1:125,000) is a preliminary assessment of the availability of ground water in the Piscataqua and coastal river basins in New Hampshire. It is a generalization of several hydrogeologic factors and provides a guide for ground-water exploration, which is useful in water- and land-use planning. The best aquifers in the basin are deposits of stratified sand or sand and gravel...

Ground-water resources of the Upper Winooski River basin, Vermont Ground-water resources of the Upper Winooski River basin, Vermont

Ground water in the upper Winooski River basin, Vermont, occurs in bedrock and in overlying unconsolidated deposits of glacial origin. Bedrock in the area is composed of a series of metamorphic and igneous rocks. Median yield for 126 wells in four different bedrock formations ranges from 5 to 6 gallons per minute, and median depth ranges from 130 to 200 feet. Lineaments, interpreted as...

Preliminary study of sources and processes of enrichment of manganese in water from University of Rhode Island supply wells Preliminary study of sources and processes of enrichment of manganese in water from University of Rhode Island supply wells

Concentrations of dissolved manganese have increased from 0.0 to as much as 3.3 mg/liter over a period of years in closely spaced University of Rhode Island supply wells. The wells tap stratified glacial deposits and derive part of their water from infiltration from a nearby river-pond system. The principal sources of the manganese seem to be coatings of oxides and other forms of...
