Digital model simulation of the glacial-outwash aquifer at Dayton, Ohio Digital model simulation of the glacial-outwash aquifer at Dayton, Ohio

Dayton, Ohio and its environs obtain most of their water from wells which penetrate highly productive glacial-outwash deposits underlying the Great Miami River and its tributaries and receive recharge by induced streambed leakage. Combined municipal and industrial use of ground water in the 90-square-mile area has increased from about 180 cubic feet per second in 1960 to nearly 250 cubic...

A water-quality assessment of the Rock Creek (Cass) watershed, Cass and Carroll counties, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Rock Creek (Cass) watershed, Cass and Carroll counties, Indiana

A water-quality assessment of the Rock Creek (Cass) watershed was made June 12 and 13, 1974. Nutrients were resampled November 7, 1974. Surface waters within the watershed were calcium bicarbonate types with very similar concentrations of major dissolved constituents. Samples collected June 13 contained between 7.4 and 14 milligrams per litre dissolved nitrate (as N), between 0.05 and 1...

Availability of ground water in Marion County, Indiana Availability of ground water in Marion County, Indiana

County constitute the most extensive aquifers in the county. Four areally distinct sand and gravel aquifers were mapped in the drift during the course of this study. The aquifer of greatest economic importance consists of sand and gravel deposits of glacial-outwash origin which coincide with the courses of the White River and Fall Creek. Ground water in this aquifer is generally...

Water-quality assessment of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, 1973-74 Water-quality assessment of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, 1973-74

The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is underlain by unconsolidated lake and glacial deposits which have been divided into three units. Unit 1 is comprised mostly of sand and, in the western part of the National Lakeshore, is capable of yielding more than 500 gallons per minute (32 litres per second) to properly constructed wells. Unit 2, a silt till below unit 1, has little potential as...

A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed, Warren County, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed, Warren County, Indiana

A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed was made September 24 and 25, 1974. Surface waters within the watershed were calcium bicarbonate types with very similar concentrations of major dissolved constituents and specific conductance values. Streamwaters contained less than 0.26 milligram per litre dissolved nitrate (as N), 0.03 milligram per litre or less dissolved...

Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Upper Mississippi region Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Upper Mississippi region

The Upper Mississippi Region in general is rich in water-surface water is plentiful, and ground water is a large, important, and manageable resource. Total potable water in storage in the outwash and alluvial aquifers of the Mississippi River valley and the subbasins is about 45,000 billion gallons. This is about 10 percent of the water in storage in Lake Ontario. Water in storage in...
