Investigation of Groundwater Conditions and Related Potential Threats to Water Supply and Surface-Water Resources in the Atlantic Coastal Watersheds of South-Central New Jersey
Anticipated growth in the coastal watersheds of Ocean County, New Jersey has heightened concerns about the future availability of water supply and potential effects of human activities on fluvial and estuarine resources. The overall objectives for the project are to develop an improved hydrologic database and analytical tools for resource management and to apply these tools to improve the present...
Toxics Hydrology Program - Unsaturated Zone Processes and Shallow Groundwater Quality
The Unsaturated Zone is a critical, yet poorly-understood part of the hydrologic cycle. Although it controls the flux of water and chemicals between land surface and the water table, the data necessary to evaluate transport, storage, and reactions occurring within the unsaturated zone are not routinely collected. The unsaturated zone, although often considered a black box, is a fundamental part of...
Galloway Mathematical Models
The Galloway research team has developed and documented three computer programs for simulating flow and transport in the unsaturated zone that are available to the public. These programs were funded by the Toxics Substances Hydrology Program. The computer codes are written in Fortran F77 and run on a variety of computer systems, including mainframe and personal computers, with only minor...
