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...

Water resources of the Batavia Kill basin at Windham, Greene County, New York Water resources of the Batavia Kill basin at Windham, Greene County, New York
The water resources of a 27.6-square-mile section of the Batavia Kill Basin near the village of Windham, N.Y., which has undergone substantial development, were evaluated. The evaluation entailed (1) estimation of the magnitude and distribution of several hydrologic components, including recharge, (2) measurement of discharge and chemical quality of the Batavia Kill and selected...

Simulation of ground-water flow and pumpage in Kings and Queens Counties, Long Island, New York Simulation of ground-water flow and pumpage in Kings and Queens Counties, Long Island, New York
The potential effects of using ground water as a supplemental source of supply in Kings and Queens Counties were evaluated through a 4-layer finite-difference ground-water-flow model with a uniform grid spacing of 1,333 feet. Hydraulic properties and boundary conditions of an existing regional ground-water-flow model of Long Island with a uniform grid spacing of 4,000 feet were refined...

The Midwestern Basins and Arches regional aquifer system in parts of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois — Summary The Midwestern Basins and Arches regional aquifer system in parts of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois — Summary
The Midwestern Basins and Arches aquifer system is composed of surficial deposits of Pleistocene and Holocene age and of Silurian and Devonian age carbonate rock in parts of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. The study area encompasses a complex of structural arches--the Cincinnati, Findlay, and Kankakee arches--and it is bounded on the east, north, and west by the Appalachian...

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...
