Time of travel of solutes in selected reaches of Ohio streams, 1973 and 1975 Time of travel of solutes in selected reaches of Ohio streams, 1973 and 1975

The basic field data for time-of-travel measurements on six streams in Ohio are presented. In general, additional data on stream cross sections, tributary inflows, and chemical analyses for mainstream and tributary flows are given. Insufficient data were obtained to establish time-distance or time-discharge relationships.

Nature and extent of ground-water-quality changes resulting from solid-waste disposal, Marion County, Indiana Nature and extent of ground-water-quality changes resulting from solid-waste disposal, Marion County, Indiana

Studies of seven landfills in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area indicate that in five of the landfills movement of ground water is from the deep aquifers into the uppermost aquifer. In the other two landfills, movement of ground water is from the shallow aquifers to the deeper aquifers, so that leachate is transported into the deeper aquifers. In all the landfills, the predominant...

A water-quality assessment of the Feather Creek watershed, Vermillion County, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Feather Creek watershed, Vermillion County, Indiana

Chemical quality of surface water within the Feather Creek watershed is generally good. However, fecal bacteria concentrations are high enough to represent a potential problem, especially because of the high water-contact recreation proposed for the future reservoir. Chemical analyses of surface-water samples collected on October 9, 1974, and periodically from October 1, 1975, to...

Limnology of selected lakes in Ohio, 1975 Limnology of selected lakes in Ohio, 1975

Water-quality reconnaissance by the U.S. Geological Survey and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, to evaluate the status of Ohio's lakes and reservoirs was begun in 1975 with studies of 17 lakes. Spring and summer data collections for each lake included: profile measurements of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance; field and laboratory analyses of physical...

Hydraulic analysis, Mad River at State Highway 41, Springfield, Ohio Hydraulic analysis, Mad River at State Highway 41, Springfield, Ohio

A hydraulic analysis of the lad River in a reach at Springfield, Ohio was made to determine the effects of relocating State Highway 41 in 1S76. The main channel was cleaned by dredging in the vicinity cf the new highway bridge and at the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway bridge upstream. The new highway was placed on a high fill with relief structures for flood plain drainage...

Water quality of the glacial-outwash aquifer in the Great Miami River Basin, Ohio Water quality of the glacial-outwash aquifer in the Great Miami River Basin, Ohio

The present water-quality conditions of the highly productive glacial-outwash aquifer in the Great Miami River basin of southwestern Ohio are documented by analyses of water from 98 sampling sites. Localized high concentrations of iron up to 5600 micrograms per liter, ammonia nitrogren as nitrogen up to 11 milligrams per liter, nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen as nitrogen up to 9.8...

Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975 Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975

Estimates of water use in the United States in 1975 indicate that an average of about 420 bgd (billion gallons per day) about 1,900 gallons per capita per day was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) publicsupply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock), (3) irrigation, and (4) self-supplied industrial (including...

Time of travel of solutes in the Tuscarawas River Basin, Ohio, August and September, 1974 Time of travel of solutes in the Tuscarawas River Basin, Ohio, August and September, 1974

A time-of-travel study was made on a 10.6-mile reach of the Tuscarawas River to determine average velocity and dispersion characteristics between selected points. The reach was divided into five subreaches, and a fluorescent dye used as a tracer material. At about the 50-percent flow-duration level, time-of-travel of the peak concentration was 137 hours.

A time-of-travel study was made on a 106-mile reach of the Tuscarawas River to determine average velocity and dispersion characteristics between selected points. The reach was divided into five subreaches, and a fluorescent dye used as a tracer material. At about the 50-percent flow-duration level, time of travel of the peak concentration was 137 hours.

Model analysis of effects on water levels at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by construction dewatering Model analysis of effects on water levels at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by construction dewatering

Two computer models were developed to investigate possible hydrologic effects within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by planned dewatering at the adjacent Bailly Nuclear Generator construction site. The dewatering, which is scheduled to last for about 18 months, would cause ground-water levels to be drawn down 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 metres) to an elevation of 4 ft (1.2 m)...

Digital-model analysis to predict water levels in a well field near Columbus, Indiana Digital-model analysis to predict water levels in a well field near Columbus, Indiana

Columbus, Indiana, obtains its water supply from six municipally owned wells southwest of the city. The wells are screened in an outwash sand and gravel aquifer that was deposited by glacial melt water in a preglacial bedrock valley. The well field is midway between the East Fork White River and the western edge of the valley. A digital model was used to determine the effects of two...
