Water Use - Ohio Kentucky Indiana
The USGS National Water-Use Information Program collects data about the quantities of water withdrawn for specific uses: public supply, domestic, industrial, mining, thermoelectric power, irrigation, livestock, and aquaculture. On a broader scale, we research how humans interact with the hydrologic cycle throuugh water withdrawal, water delivery, consumptive use, return flows, wastewater reuse...
Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Collaboration Partners
One of the strongest ways to ensure that science is done effectively and efficiently in the midst of ever decreasing budgets is to collaborate.
Glacial Aquifer System - Hydrogeologic Properties
Water-well drillers’ records are used to create maps and grids of hydrogeologic properties for the glaciated United States.
Monitoring Of Groundwater Levels And Surface-Water Quality At The South Well Field, Franklin County, Ohio
The City of Columbus operates 5 high-capacity collector wells to extract groundwater for drinking-water supply. To assist the City, the USGS monitors water levels in 5 observation wells and operates a water-quality monitor on the Scioto River where specific conductance, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity are measured on an hourly basis. In addition, groundwater-level synoptic...
Urban Hydrology Stormwater Management
Hydrogeologic reconnaissance, well inventory, and site-specific aquifer test data are needed in order for managers to assess whether use of stormwater injection wells is technically or economically feasible for Class V underground injection, file necessary permit applications, and begin the process of developing the necessary engineering design specifications. Sanitation District No 1 requested...
