Modified level II streambed-scour analysis for structure I-69-16-5324 crossing Fosters Branch in Madison County, Indiana Modified level II streambed-scour analysis for structure I-69-16-5324 crossing Fosters Branch in Madison County, Indiana

Level II scour evaluations follow a process in which hydrologic, hydraulic, and sediment transport data are evaluated to calculate the depth of scour that may result when a given discharge is routed through a bridge opening. The results of the modified Level II analysis for structure 1-69-16-5324 on Interstate 69 crossing Fosters Branch in Madison County, Indiana, are presented. The site...

Quality-control design for surface-water sampling in the National Water-Quality Assessment Program Quality-control design for surface-water sampling in the National Water-Quality Assessment Program

The data-quality objectives of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program include estimating the extent to which contamination, matrix effects, and measurement variability affect interpretation of chemical analyses of surface-water samples. The quality-control samples used to make these estimates include field blanks, field matrix spikes, and replicates. This report describes the...

Evaluation of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measurements of river discharge Evaluation of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measurements of river discharge

Developments in Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) technologies have made these instruments potentially useful for making measurements of discharge in rivers and large streams. Although there have been several laboratory studies and some field experiments, quantitative information on the performance of ADCP's under field conditions is relatively rare but essential to proper...

Evaluation of scour at selected bridge sites in Indiana Evaluation of scour at selected bridge sites in Indiana

Twenty bridge sites in Indiana were evaluated to determine: the extent of scour during floods, streambed stability, the maximum historical scour, and estimates of potential scour. Historical scour data were collected by means of geophysical methods and used to evaluate the scour-computation procedures recommended by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration and 13 other published pier...

Radon in the fluvial aquifers of the White River Basin, Indiana, 1995 Radon in the fluvial aquifers of the White River Basin, Indiana, 1995

Water samples collected in 1995 from 57 monitoring wells (48 shallow and 9 deep) in the fluvial aquifers of the White River Basin were analyzed for radon. Radon concentrations in the shallow wells ranged from 140 to 1,600 pCi/L (picocuries per liter); the median concentration was 420 pCi/L. In comparison, analyses of the samples from the nine deep wells indicate that radon concentrations...

Influence of natural and human factors on pesticide concentrations in surface waters of the White River Basin, Indiana Influence of natural and human factors on pesticide concentrations in surface waters of the White River Basin, Indiana

Pesticide concentrations in surface waters of the White River Basin are affected by natural and human factors. For example, concentrations of atrazine, a herbicide widely used on corn in the White River Basin, tended to be higher in an agricultural basin with permeable, well-drained soils, than in an agricultural basin with less permeable, more poorly drained soils. Concentrations of...

Occurrence of nitrate in ground water in the White River Basin, Indiana, 1994–95 Occurrence of nitrate in ground water in the White River Basin, Indiana, 1994–95

Nitrogen-based fertilizers are used extensively in the White River Basin. Water samples were collected for nitrate analysis from 103 monitoring wells in four networks in the basin. Ninety-four "shallow" wells were screened near the top of the uppermost aquifer encountered; the remaining 9 wells were paired with shallow wells but screened 18 to 45 feet deeper. Samples from 6.4 percent of...
