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...

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...

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...
