Hydrogeologic Atlas of Aquifers in Indiana Hydrogeologic Atlas of Aquifers in Indiana

Aquifers in 12 water-management basins of Indiana are identified in a series of 104 hydrogeologic sections and 12 maps that show the thickness and configuration of aquifers. The vertical distribution of water-bearing units and a generalized potentiometric profile are shown along 3,500 miles of section lines that were constructed from drillers' logs of more than 4,200 wells. The...

Historical and potential scour around bridge piers and abutments of selected stream crossings in Indiana Historical and potential scour around bridge piers and abutments of selected stream crossings in Indiana

Historical scour data were collected by means of geophysical techniques and used to evaluate the scour-computation procedures recommended by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration and 12 other pub- lished pier-scour equations. Geophysical data were collected at 10 bridges in Indiana. For this evaluation it was assumed that the historical scour measured by use of geophysical techniques...

Quality-assurance plan for the U.S. Geological Survey Indiana District Water-Use Program Quality-assurance plan for the U.S. Geological Survey Indiana District Water-Use Program

The Indiana District Water-Use Program is an ongoing project with the primary goal of making Indiana water-use data available to Federal, State, and local water managers. The water-use data are obtained from a wide variety of sources. Some data are based on values reported by water users, and other data are based on a variety of estimation techniques. Statements of responsibility...

Geohydrology and water quality of the Calumet aquifer, in the vicinity of the Grand Calumet River/Indiana Harbor Canal, northwestern Indiana Geohydrology and water quality of the Calumet aquifer, in the vicinity of the Grand Calumet River/Indiana Harbor Canal, northwestern Indiana

The water-table configuration of the Calumet aquifer in the vicinity of the Grand Calumet River/Indiana Harbor Canal in Lake County, northwestern Indiana, reflects the complexity of the shallow ground-water-flow system. Large depressions in the water table in sewered areas interrupt broad ground-water divides between rivers. The aquifer/stream interactions along the Grand Calumet River/...

Hydrologic data and hydrologic budget for Summit Lake Reservoir, Henry County, East-Central Indiana, water years 1989 and 1990 Hydrologic data and hydrologic budget for Summit Lake Reservoir, Henry County, East-Central Indiana, water years 1989 and 1990

Hydrologic data were collected near Summit Lake Reservoir for 2 years beginning October 1, 1988, and ending September 30, 1990. The data-collection network consisted of 1 reservoir-stage gage, 2 precipitation gages, 1 evaporation pan, 2 streamflow gages, and 13 observation wells. Stage-area and stage-storage relations for the reservoir were used in combination with the hydrologic data to...

Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 -- Mining data Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 -- Mining data

Our Nation's social and economic development has depended on and will continue to depend on the availability of usable water. In 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began publishing water-use data on a national level every 5 years to assist in the management of our Nation's water resources. The USGS currently collects and (or) estimates water-use data for the following categories...

Sedimentation in Long Lake, Noble County, northeastern Indiana, 1959-88 Sedimentation in Long Lake, Noble County, northeastern Indiana, 1959-88

Sedimentation has had little or no effect on the storage capacity or surface area of Long Lake. The lake is a natural lake that formed in unconsolidated glacial deposits. The lake is essentially two lakes: a small southern part and a large northern part. The lake receives drainage from Thumma Ditch. At the outlet of the lake, the drainage area of Thumma Ditch is 12.0 square miles...

Assimilation efficiency for sediment-sorbed benzo(a)pyrene by Diporeia spp. Assimilation efficiency for sediment-sorbed benzo(a)pyrene by Diporeia spp.

Two methods are currently available for determining contaminant assimilation efficiencies (AE) from ingested material in benthic invertebrates. These methods were compared using the Great Lakes amphipod Diporeia spp. and [14C]benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) sorbed to Florissant sediment ( 63 µm). The first approach, the direct measurement method, uses total organic carbon as a tracer and yielded AE...

Trends in offstream water use in Indiana, 1960-90 Trends in offstream water use in Indiana, 1960-90

Water-use data for Indiana from 1960 to 1990 were analyzed to determine general trends of offstream water use. Since 1960, total withdrawals have increased, although there have been periods of increases and decreases. The largest amount of water use (14,300 Mgal/d) occurred in 1980, which was almost 2.5 times more than in 1960. There has been a general increase in withdrawals by public...

Effects of advanced treatment of municipal wastewater on the White River near Indianapolis, Indiana: Trends in water quality, 1978-86 Effects of advanced treatment of municipal wastewater on the White River near Indianapolis, Indiana: Trends in water quality, 1978-86

The City of Indianapolis has constructed state-of-the-art advanced municipal wastewater-treatment systems to enlarge and upgrade the existing secondary-treatment processes at its Belmont and Southport treatment plants. These new advanced-wastewater-treatment plants became operational in 1983. A nonparametric statistical procedure--a modified form of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney rank-sum...

Sedimentation in Whitewater Lake, Union County, east-central Indiana, 1959-88 Sedimentation in Whitewater Lake, Union County, east-central Indiana, 1959-88

Sedimentation has had little effect on the storage capacity or surface area of Whitewater Lake. The lake was constructed by damming Silver Creek in 1949 and was dredged during 1978-81 and 1984-88. At the dam, the drainage area of Silver Creek is 19.2 square miles. Locations where the largest amount of sediment has accumulated for the 29-year period 1959-88 are in the upper part of the...
