U.S. Geological Survey program on toxic waste--ground-water contamination; proceedings of the Third technical meeting, Pensacola, Florida, March 23-27, 1987 U.S. Geological Survey program on toxic waste--ground-water contamination; proceedings of the Third technical meeting, Pensacola, Florida, March 23-27, 1987
Problems of ground-water contamination from leaking surface impoundments are common in surficial aquifers, and are a subject of increasing concern and attention. A potentially widespread contamination problem involves organic chemicals used in wood-preserving processes. Creosote is the most extensively used industrial preservative in the United States today, with more than 400 wood...

Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of glacial-drift aquifers in Minnesota Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of glacial-drift aquifers in Minnesota
Water in Minnesota 's glacial drift aquifers generally is of acceptable quality for most uses, including household supply, industrial use, and irrigation. The aquifers generally contain calcium magnesium bicarbonate-type waters, but other types are present also. Calcium magnesium sulfate-type waters are common in the confined drift aquifers in the southwestern and northwestern parts of...

Water use in Wisconsin, 1985 Water use in Wisconsin, 1985
An inventory of water use in Wisconsin is essential for appraising current and future water-resource needs of the State. The U.S. Geological Survey has collected and published national water-use data every 5 years since 1950. Sources of data in these reports have not always been well documented, and the methods for collecting and reporting the data were not the same for all States. Some...

Laboratory data on coarse-sediment transport for bedload-sampler calibrations Laboratory data on coarse-sediment transport for bedload-sampler calibrations
A unique facility capable of recirculating and continuously measuring the transport rates of sediment particles ranging in size from about 1 to 75 millimeters in diameter was designed and used in an extensive program involving the calibration of bedload samplers. The facility consisted of a 9-footwide by 6-foot-deep by 272-foot-long rectangular channel that incorporated seven automated...

Hydrogeologic framework and properties of regional aquifers in the Hollandale Embayment, southeastern Minnesota Hydrogeologic framework and properties of regional aquifers in the Hollandale Embayment, southeastern Minnesota
In 1977, the U.S. Geological Survey began a series of investigations of regional aquifer systems in the United States. These studies will provide quantitative information for use in developing and managing regional ground-water supplies. One of these studies, the Northern Midwest Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) project, concerns the Cambrian and Ordovician age aquifers that occur...
