Chemical and biological quality of streams at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana, 1978-80 Chemical and biological quality of streams at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana, 1978-80

A variety of land uses affects water quality of streams at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Discharge from storm sewers and runoff from roads contributed lead, zinc, and chlorinated hydrocarbons (chlordane, DOT, ODD, DDE, and PCB's) to all streams except Derby ditch. In addition, the Little Calumet River received ammonia from industrial discharges, and organic materials, nitrogen...

Floods of March 1982, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio Floods of March 1982, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio

Rapid melting of a snowpack containing 2 to 6 inches of water equivalent coinciding with moderate rainfall caused flooding in March 1982 across northern Indiana, southern Michigan, and northwestern Ohio. Millions of dollars in property damage and the loss of four lives resulted from the flooding. Peak discharges at several gaging stations in each of the following river basins have...

Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in Indiana Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in Indiana

Equations are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods at ungaged sites on unregulated and nonurban streams in Indiana. The equations were developed by multiple-regression, analysis of basin characteristics and peak-flow statistical data from 242 gaged locations in Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. The State of Indiana was divided into seven areas on the basis of the...

Quality of surface water in the coal-mining region, southwestern Indiana, October 1979 to September 1980 Quality of surface water in the coal-mining region, southwestern Indiana, October 1979 to September 1980

The U.S. Geological Survey collected water-quality and other hydrologic data for surface water in the coal-mining region of southwestern Indiana. These data were collected at 85 sites in 19 counties during October 1979 and at 21 of the 85 sites in 12 of the 19 counties monthly from January through September 1980. The samples were collected during steady flow. Samples were also collected...

Lineaments and fracture traces, Decatur County, Indiana Lineaments and fracture traces, Decatur County, Indiana

Lineanents and fracture traces have been mapped throughout Decatur County, Indiana. These lineaments and fracture traces may indicate that solution enlarged vertical fractures in the limestone and dolonite aquifers underlie most of the county. The use of lineament and fracture-trace maps in selecting bedrock-drilling sites results in a significant increase in the number of usable sites...

Ground-water resources of the glacial outwash along the White River, Johnson and Morgan counties, Indiana Ground-water resources of the glacial outwash along the White River, Johnson and Morgan counties, Indiana

An 88-square-mile segment of the White River valley contains an unconfined sand and gravel aquifer ranging-from a featheredge zero, to 120 feet in saturated thickness. Hydraulic conductivity is 340 feet per day, and transmissivity is as much as 35,000 square feet per day. The aquifer, recharged primarily by precipitation, gains same recharge through interbedded till and outwash...

Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Hamilton and Tipton Counties, Indiana Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Hamilton and Tipton Counties, Indiana

An analysis of the ground-water resources of the Hamilton and Tipton Counties was based on data from about 1,900 well logs, 125 water levels in 125 wells, streamflow measurements at 57 sites, and municipal- and industrial-pumpage records. These data were used to map the flow system and construct a three-dimensional model of the study area and a more detailed two-dimensional model of the...

Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Delaware County, Indiana Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Delaware County, Indiana

The ground-water resources of the White River basin in and near Delaware County, Indiana, were investigated by mapping the aquifers, calculating their hydraulic properties, determining the distribution of potentiometric head, and determining some of the components of the ground-water budget from data collected in the field. This information was used to construct and calibrate a seven...

Hydrologic data collected in and around a surface coal mine, Clay and Vigo counties, Indiana, 1977-80 Hydrologic data collected in and around a surface coal mine, Clay and Vigo counties, Indiana, 1977-80

Few data are available for evaluating water-quality and other hydrologic properties in and around surface coal mines, particularly in areas where material having a high potential for acid-production is selectively buried. This report contains hydrologic data collected in an active coal mining area in Clay and Vigo Counties, Indiana, from September 1977 through February 1980. Methods of...

Effects of surface mining on water quality in a small watershed, Sullivan County, Indiana Effects of surface mining on water quality in a small watershed, Sullivan County, Indiana

The water quality in an unnamed tributary to Spencer Creek upstream and downstream from a surface mine and in South Lake adjacent to the mine were monitored during a 5-year study (1975-79) in the 1,210-acre watershed of the tributary. Compared with the background values, pH and concentrations of all major dissolved ions and dissolved, suspended, and streambed metals generally increased...

Jennings and several adjacent counties are economically restricted "by inadequate water supplies. The North Vernon Water Utility, supplying more than 25 percent of Jennings County's population, obtains its water from the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River, although streamflow is less than the average daily withdrawal 69 days of the year. The U.S. Army, Jefferson Proving Ground, pipes water...

Hydrologic and chemical evaluation of the ground-water resources of northwest Elkhart County, Indiana Hydrologic and chemical evaluation of the ground-water resources of northwest Elkhart County, Indiana

A 3-year study in northwest Elkhart County, Indiana, was done to (1) de-fine the general flow and quality of water in the outwash aquifer system, (2) determine if a well field proposed for a site at the Elkhart Municipal Airport would draw leachate from the Himco landfill, and (3) define the areal extent of the ground water affected by the landfill and an east-side industrial-park area...
