Hydrogeology of the Schodack-Kinderhook Area, Rensselaer and Columbia Counties, New York Hydrogeology of the Schodack-Kinderhook Area, Rensselaer and Columbia Counties, New York
Two glaciodeltaic outwash terraces in southern Rensselaer and northern Columbia Counties, known locally as the Schodack and Kinderhook terraces, consist of ice-contact and outwash sand and gravel and together form a regional, unconfined, stratified-drift aquifer with a combined area of 18.75 square miles. The hydrogeology of these aquifers is summarized on four maps at 1:24,000 scale...

Simulation of freshwater-saltwater interfaces in the Brooklyn-Queens aquifer system, Long Island, New York Simulation of freshwater-saltwater interfaces in the Brooklyn-Queens aquifer system, Long Island, New York
The seaward limit of the fresh ground-water system underlying Kings and Queens Counties on Long Island, N.Y., is at the freshwater-saltwater transition zone. This zone has been conceptualized in transient-state, three-dimensional models of the aquifer system as a sharp interface between freshwater and saltwater, and represented as a stationary, zero lateral-flow boundary. In this study...

A precipitation-runoff model for part of the Ninemile Creek watershed near Camillus, Onondaga County, New York A precipitation-runoff model for part of the Ninemile Creek watershed near Camillus, Onondaga County, New York
A precipitation-runoff model, HSPF (Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran), of a 41.7 square mile part of the Ninemile Creek watershed near Camillus, in central New York, was developed and calibrated to predict the hydrological effects of future suburban development on streamflow, and the effects of stormwater detention on flooding of Ninemile Creek at Camillus. Development was...

Effects of a beaver pond on runoff processes: comparison of two headwater catchments Effects of a beaver pond on runoff processes: comparison of two headwater catchments
Natural variations in concentrations of 18O, D, and H4SiO4 in two tributary catchments of Woods Lake in the west-central Adirondack Mountains of New York were measured during 1989–1991 to examine runoff processes and their implications for the neutralization of acidic precipitation by calcium carbonate treatment. The two catchments are similar except that one contained a 1.3 ha beaver...

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...
