Design, operation, and data analysis for a wireline packer system in open boreholes, with field-test results from Belvidere, Illinois Design, operation, and data analysis for a wireline packer system in open boreholes, with field-test results from Belvidere, Illinois
A wireline-operated packer was designed for use with a standard geophysical logging system. The packer probe consists of a downhole packer inflated with water removed from the borehole by an in-line submersible pump, and a differential pressure transducer calibrated to measure the hydraulic-head difference between the zones above and below the packer. Analysis of the packer data is based...

Hydrogeology and water quality of the Clinton Street-Ballpark Aquifer near Johnson City, New York Hydrogeology and water quality of the Clinton Street-Ballpark Aquifer near Johnson City, New York
The Clinton Street-Ballpark aquifer, in the Susquehanna River valley in southern Broome County, N.Y., supplies drinking water to the Village of Johnson City near Binghamton. The hydrogeology and water quality of the aquifer were studied in 1994-95 to identify the source area of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, which was detected at the Johnson City Camden Street wellfield in 1991. The aquifer is...

Tree rings record 100 years of hydrologic change within a wetland Tree rings record 100 years of hydrologic change within a wetland
One of the primary responsibilities of the Water Resources Division of the United States Geological Survey is to monitor the amount and quality of waters in our rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Hydrologists can evaluate these important resources in the present day, but how can they determine what conditions were like in past decades or even centuries? Moreover, are conditions part of a...

Water resources data, New York, water year 1996; Volume 1. Eastern New York; excluding Long Island Water resources data, New York, water year 1996; Volume 1. Eastern New York; excluding Long Island
Introduction Water-resources data for the 1996 water year for New York consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; ground-water levels; and precipitation quality. This volume contains records for water discharge at 122 gaging stations; stage only at 7 gaging stations; stage and contents at 4 gaging...

Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United States: Episodic response project Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United States: Episodic response project
The Episodic Response Project (ERP) was an interdisciplinary study designed to address uncertainties about the occurrence, nature, and biological effects of episodic acidification of streams in the northeastern United States. The ERP research consisted of intensive studies of the chemistry and biological effects of episodes in 13 streams draining forested watersheds in the three study...

Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United States: Fish mortality in field bioassays Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United States: Fish mortality in field bioassays
In situ bioassays were performed as part of the Episodic Response Project, to evaluate the effects of episodic stream acidification on mortality of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and forage fish species. We report the results of 122 bioassays in 13 streams of the three study regions: the Adirondack mountains of New York, the Catskill mountains of New York, and the Northern...
