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...

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...
