Water resources data, Ohio, water year 2003 : Volume 1. Ohio River basin excluding project data Water resources data, Ohio, water year 2003 : Volume 1. Ohio River basin excluding project data

Water-resources data for the 2003 water year for Ohio consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report, in two volumes, contains records for water discharge at 138 gaging stations and various partial-record sites; water levels at 217 observation wells and...

Sampling strategies for estimating acute and chronic exposures of pesticides in streams Sampling strategies for estimating acute and chronic exposures of pesticides in streams

The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 requires that human exposure to pesticides through drinking water be considered when establishing pesticide tolerances in food. Several systematic and seasonally weighted systematic sampling strategies for estimating pesticide concentrations in surface water were evaluated through Monte Carlo simulation, using intensive datasets from four sites in

U.S. Geological Survey Subsidence Interest Group Conference: Proceedings of the technical meeting, Galveston, Texas, November 27-29, 2001 U.S. Geological Survey Subsidence Interest Group Conference: Proceedings of the technical meeting, Galveston, Texas, November 27-29, 2001

InSAR is a powerful technique that uses radar data acquired at different times to measure land-surface deformation, or displacement, over large areas at a high level of spatial detail and a high degree of measurement resolution. InSAR displacement maps (interferograms), in conjunction with other hydrogeologic data, have been used to determine aquifer-system characteristics for areas...

Trends in chemical concentration in sediment cores from three lakes in New Jersey and one lake on Long Island, New York Trends in chemical concentration in sediment cores from three lakes in New Jersey and one lake on Long Island, New York

Sediment cores were extracted from three lakes in northeastern New Jersey and one lake on western Long Island, New York, as part of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program. Sediment layers were dated by use of cesium-137 (137Cs), copper, lead, or dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) profiles. Sediment layers were analyzed for seven selected trace elements...

Tethered acoustic doppler current profiler platforms for measuring streamflow Tethered acoustic doppler current profiler platforms for measuring streamflow

The U.S. Geological Survey tested and refined tethered-platform designs for measuring streamflow. Platform specifications were developed, radio-modem telemetry of acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data and potential platform-hull sources were investigated, and hulls were tested and evaluated. Different platforms, which included a variety of hull configurations, were tested for...

Hydrogeology and geochemistry of aquifers underlying the San Lorenzo and San Leandro areas of the East Bay Plain, Alameda County, California Hydrogeology and geochemistry of aquifers underlying the San Lorenzo and San Leandro areas of the East Bay Plain, Alameda County, California

The East Bay Plain, on the densely populated eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, contains an upper aquifer system to depths of 250 feet below land surface and an underlying lower aquifer system to depths of more than 650 feet. Injection and recovery of imported water has been proposed for deep aquifers at two sites within the lower aquifer system. Successful operation requires that the...

Evolving issues and practices in managing ground-water resources: Case studies on the role of science Evolving issues and practices in managing ground-water resources: Case studies on the role of science

Hydrologic stresses throughout the 20th century and presently (2003) have caused the depletion and degradation of our Nation’s vital ground-water resources in many areas. Management strategies have been and are being implemented to optimize use of our ground-water resources with respect to achieving sustainability while mitigating the consequences of future withdrawals. The seven case...

Watershed inventory, Ravenna Training and Logistics Site, Ohio Watershed inventory, Ravenna Training and Logistics Site, Ohio

The Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG) conducts training activities on the lands it manages to fulfill its primary mission of maintaining combat readiness. One of the training areas OHARNG manages is the Ravenna Training and Logistics Site (RTLS). This facility is co-located with the Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant (RVAAP) in Portage and Trumbull Counties, Ohio. Training activities can...

Mineral precipitation and dissolution at two slag-disposal sites in northwestern Indiana, USA Mineral precipitation and dissolution at two slag-disposal sites in northwestern Indiana, USA

Slag is a ubiquitous byproduct of the iron- and steel-refining industries. In northwestern Indiana and northeastern Illinois, slag has been deposited over more than 52 km2 of land surface. Despite the widespread use of slag for fill and construction purposes, little is known about its chemical effects on the environment. Two slagdisposal sites were examined in northwestern Indiana where...
