A computerized data base of nitrate concentrations in Indiana ground water A computerized data base of nitrate concentrations in Indiana ground water

As part of a cooperative study with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the U.S. Geological Survey compiled a computerized data base of nitrate concentrations in Indiana ground water. The data included nitrate determinations from more than 29 studies by five Federal and State agencies during June 1973 through August 1991. The National Water Information System software of...

Hydrologic effects associated with the January 17, 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake Hydrologic effects associated with the January 17, 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake

This report compiles hydrologic observations in southern California associated with the 1994 Mw = 6.7 Northridge, California earthquake. In southern California, the largest ground water level change was a drop of 52 cm at Crystalaire. Most of the steplike water-level changes recorded following the Northridge earthquake agreed in direction with the sign of the calculated coseismic volume...

Water use in Kentucky, 1990 Water use in Kentucky, 1990

Water-use information for 1990 was collected and reported, by county, for eight major categories of use. Seven of the categories were offstream uses, which included public supply, commercial, domestic, industrial, mining, thermoelectric, and agricultural uses. The agricultural category was subdivided into irrigation and livestock water use. Instream water- use data also were collected...

Water levels in the Calumet aquifer and their relation to surface-water levels in northern Lake County, Indiana, 1985-92 Water levels in the Calumet aquifer and their relation to surface-water levels in northern Lake County, Indiana, 1985-92

The U.S. Geological Survey made 2,328 water-level measurements at a total of 96 ground-water and surface-water sites in northern Lake County, Indiana, from August 1985 through September 1992. This report lists and summarizes the significance of the measurements. Northern Lake County is on the southern shore of Lake Michigan and includes the cities of East Chicago, Gary, Hammond, and...

Characteristics, transport, and yield of sediment in Juday Creek, St. Joseph County, Indiana, 1993-94 Characteristics, transport, and yield of sediment in Juday Creek, St. Joseph County, Indiana, 1993-94

Juday Creek is a tributary of the St. Joseph River in St. Joseph County, north-central Indiana. The creek has been identified as one of the few streams in the State that can support a naturally reproducing brown trout population. A recent study of benthic invertebrates shows a decline in the production rate of insect species and suggests that this decline may be caused by increased...

Hydrogeology and water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Piketon, Ohio Hydrogeology and water quality at the management systems evaluation area near Piketon, Ohio

This report presents the results of a study by the U.S. Geological Survey, The Ohio State University, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to describe the hydrology, water quality, and geochemical factors controlling water quality at the Ohio Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA). The Ohio MSEA is located on a 650-acre farm in the Scioto River Valley in Pike County, south-central...

Ground-water quality in northeastern St. Joseph County, Indiana Ground-water quality in northeastern St. Joseph County, Indiana

This report describes the ground-water quality of a 220-square-mile area in northeastern St. Joseph County, Indiana. Ground-water samples were collected from 30 monitoring wells at 20 sites during May 1992; the wells were screened in either a shallow or a deep sand and gravel aquifer. Samples were analyzed for general water-quality properties, nutrients, major ions, trace elements...

Geohydrology and simulated ground-water flow in an irrigated area of northwestern Indiana Geohydrology and simulated ground-water flow in an irrigated area of northwestern Indiana

Water for irrigation in parts of Newton and Jasper Counties and adjacent areas of northwestern Indiana is pumped mostly from the carbonate- bedrock aquifer that underlies glacial drift. To help in managing the ground-water resources of the area, a three-dimensional ground-water model was developed and tested with hydrologic data collected during 1986 and 1988. Two major aquifers and a...

Approximately 418,000 pounds of triazine herbicides are applied annually to control weeds in crops grown in the Albemarle-Pamilico Sound drainage basin, located in North Carolina and Virginia. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect concentrations of total triazine herbicides in streams draining into Albemarle-Pamlico Sound. Water samples were collected in May and June...

Hydrogeology and paths of flow in the carbonate bedrock aquifer, northwestern Indiana Hydrogeology and paths of flow in the carbonate bedrock aquifer, northwestern Indiana

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is assessing the ground.water resources of the carbonate bedrock aquifers in Indiana and Ohio as part of their Regional Aquifer Systems Analysis program. Part of this assessment includes the determination of unknown aspects of the hydraulic characteristics, boundaries, and flow paths of the carbonate aquifer. To accomplish this, the USGS drilled three...
