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...

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...

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...

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: Ionic controls of episodes Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United States: Ionic controls of episodes

As part of the Episodic Response Project (ERP), we intensively monitored discharge and stream chemistry of 13 streams located in the Northern Appalachian region of Pennsylvania and in the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains of New York from fall 1988 to spring 1990. The ERP clearly documented the occurrence of acidic episodes with minimum episodic pH ≤ 5 and inorganic monomeric Al (Alim)

Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United states: Effects on fish populations Episodic acidification of small streams in the northeastern United states: Effects on fish populations

As part of the Episodic Response Project (ERP), we studied the effects of episodic acidification on fish in 13 small streams in the northeastern United States: four streams in the Adirondack region of New York, four streams in the Catskills, New York, and five streams in the northern Appalachian Plateau, Pennsylvania. In situ bioassays with brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and a...

Mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the glaciated northeastern United States, 1951-80 Mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the glaciated northeastern United States, 1951-80

Two maps, compiled at 1:1 million scale, depict mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the part of the United States east of Cleveland, Ohio and north of the southern limit of glaciation. The maps are mutually consistent in that runoff equals precipitation minus evapotranspiration everywhere. The runoff map is based on records of streamflow from 503 watersheds in...

Analytical methods of the U.S. Geological Survey's New York District Water-Analysis Laboratory Analytical methods of the U.S. Geological Survey's New York District Water-Analysis Laboratory

The New York District of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Troy, N.Y., operates a water-analysis laboratory for USGS watershed-research projects in the Northeast that require analyses of precipitation and of dilute surface water and soil water for major ions; it also provides analyses of certain chemical constituents in soils and soil gas samples. This report presents the methods for...
