Digital-model analysis to predict water levels in a well field near Columbus, Indiana Digital-model analysis to predict water levels in a well field near Columbus, Indiana

Columbus, Indiana, obtains its water supply from six municipally owned wells southwest of the city. The wells are screened in an outwash sand and gravel aquifer that was deposited by glacial melt water in a preglacial bedrock valley. The well field is midway between the East Fork White River and the western edge of the valley. A digital model was used to determine the effects of two...

A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed, Warren County, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed, Warren County, Indiana

A water-quality assessment of the Jordan Creek watershed was made September 24 and 25, 1974. Surface waters within the watershed were calcium bicarbonate types with very similar concentrations of major dissolved constituents and specific conductance values. Streamwaters contained less than 0.26 milligram per litre dissolved nitrate (as N), 0.03 milligram per litre or less dissolved...

Water-quality assessment of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, 1973-74 Water-quality assessment of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, 1973-74

The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is underlain by unconsolidated lake and glacial deposits which have been divided into three units. Unit 1 is comprised mostly of sand and, in the western part of the National Lakeshore, is capable of yielding more than 500 gallons per minute (32 litres per second) to properly constructed wells. Unit 2, a silt till below unit 1, has little potential as...

A water-quality assessment of the Rock Creek (Cass) watershed, Cass and Carroll counties, Indiana A water-quality assessment of the Rock Creek (Cass) watershed, Cass and Carroll counties, Indiana

A water-quality assessment of the Rock Creek (Cass) watershed was made June 12 and 13, 1974. Nutrients were resampled November 7, 1974. Surface waters within the watershed were calcium bicarbonate types with very similar concentrations of major dissolved constituents. Samples collected June 13 contained between 7.4 and 14 milligrams per litre dissolved nitrate (as N), between 0.05 and 1...

Availability of ground water in Marion County, Indiana Availability of ground water in Marion County, Indiana

County constitute the most extensive aquifers in the county. Four areally distinct sand and gravel aquifers were mapped in the drift during the course of this study. The aquifer of greatest economic importance consists of sand and gravel deposits of glacial-outwash origin which coincide with the courses of the White River and Fall Creek. Ground water in this aquifer is generally...
