A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for West Fork Blue River, Washington County, Indiana A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for West Fork Blue River, Washington County, Indiana

The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in West Fork Blue River was used to predict alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality standards defined for two critical...

Water-quality assessment of Rattlesnake Creek watershed, Ohio Water-quality assessment of Rattlesnake Creek watershed, Ohio

Chemical and biological water quality in Rattlesnake Creek basin, Ohio, are evaluated. The data include field and laboratory data for eight sites during August 1976- August 1977 and summaries of earlier (1972-76) data. Streamflow was below normal during the study period. Basin waters types were calcium bicarbonate or calcium magnesium bicarbonate. Specific conductance ranged from 405 to...

Water-quality assessment of the Middle Fork Anderson River watershed, Crawford and Perry counties, Indiana Water-quality assessment of the Middle Fork Anderson River watershed, Crawford and Perry counties, Indiana

Surface-water quality in the watershed is generally good except for problem-causing concentrations of bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and phosphorus at some sites along the main stem during low flow and manganese at most sites year-round. Dissolved-solids concentration ranged from 76 to 248 milligrams per liter. Concentrations at sites upstream from reservoirs were greater than those at...

Hydrologic environment of the Silurian salt deposits in parts of Michigan, Ohio, and New York Hydrologic environment of the Silurian salt deposits in parts of Michigan, Ohio, and New York

The aggregate thickness of evaporites (salt, gypsum, and anhydrite) in the Silurian Salina sequence in Michigan exceeds 1200 feet in areas near the periphery of the Michigan basin, where the salt beds are less than 3000 feet below land surface. In northeast Ohio the aggregate thickness of salt beds is as much as 200 feet in places, and in western New York it is more than 500 feet, where...

A water-quality assessment of the Busseron Creek watershed, Sullivan, Vigo, Greene, and Clay counties, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Busseron Creek watershed, Sullivan, Vigo, Greene, and Clay counties, Indiana

Chemical quality of surface water in the 237-square mile Busseron Creek watershed is significantly affected by drainage from coal mines and municipalities. Drainage from coal mines is primarily a problem of higher than normal dissolved-solids concentration, whereas, drainage from municipalities is generally a problem of bacteria and phytoplankton. Generally, the water is calcium...

Time of travel of solutes in selected reaches of Ohio streams, 1973 and 1975 Time of travel of solutes in selected reaches of Ohio streams, 1973 and 1975

The basic field data for time-of-travel measurements on six streams in Ohio are presented. In general, additional data on stream cross sections, tributary inflows, and chemical analyses for mainstream and tributary flows are given. Insufficient data were obtained to establish time-distance or time-discharge relationships.

Nature and extent of ground-water-quality changes resulting from solid-waste disposal, Marion County, Indiana Nature and extent of ground-water-quality changes resulting from solid-waste disposal, Marion County, Indiana

Studies of seven landfills in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area indicate that in five of the landfills movement of ground water is from the deep aquifers into the uppermost aquifer. In the other two landfills, movement of ground water is from the shallow aquifers to the deeper aquifers, so that leachate is transported into the deeper aquifers. In all the landfills, the predominant...

A water-quality assessment of the Feather Creek watershed, Vermillion County, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Feather Creek watershed, Vermillion County, Indiana

Chemical quality of surface water within the Feather Creek watershed is generally good. However, fecal bacteria concentrations are high enough to represent a potential problem, especially because of the high water-contact recreation proposed for the future reservoir. Chemical analyses of surface-water samples collected on October 9, 1974, and periodically from October 1, 1975, to...

Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975 Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975

Estimates of water use in the United States in 1975 indicate that an average of about 420 bgd (billion gallons per day) about 1,900 gallons per capita per day was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) publicsupply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock), (3) irrigation, and (4) self-supplied industrial (including...

Water quality of the glacial-outwash aquifer in the Great Miami River Basin, Ohio Water quality of the glacial-outwash aquifer in the Great Miami River Basin, Ohio

The present water-quality conditions of the highly productive glacial-outwash aquifer in the Great Miami River basin of southwestern Ohio are documented by analyses of water from 98 sampling sites. Localized high concentrations of iron up to 5600 micrograms per liter, ammonia nitrogren as nitrogen up to 11 milligrams per liter, nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen as nitrogen up to 9.8...

Hydraulic analysis, Mad River at State Highway 41, Springfield, Ohio Hydraulic analysis, Mad River at State Highway 41, Springfield, Ohio

A hydraulic analysis of the lad River in a reach at Springfield, Ohio was made to determine the effects of relocating State Highway 41 in 1S76. The main channel was cleaned by dredging in the vicinity cf the new highway bridge and at the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railway bridge upstream. The new highway was placed on a high fill with relief structures for flood plain drainage...
