The relative merits of monitoring and domestic wells for ground water quality investigations The relative merits of monitoring and domestic wells for ground water quality investigations

The results of two studies of the effect of agricultural land use on shallow ground water quality indicate that monitoring wells may be a better choice than domestic wells for studies of pesticide occurrence or transport, or for use as early-warning indicators of potential drinking water contamination. Because domestic wells represent the used resource, and because domestic well water...

Analysis of difference between direct and geodetic mass balance measurements at South Cascade Glacier, Washington Analysis of difference between direct and geodetic mass balance measurements at South Cascade Glacier, Washington

Net mass balance has been measured since 1958 at South Cascade Glacier using the ‘direct method,’ e.g. area averages of snow gain and firn and ice loss at stakes. Analysis of cartographic vertical photography has allowed measurement of mass balance using the ‘geodetic method’ in 1970, 1975, 1977, 1979–80, and 1985–97. Water equivalent change as measured by these nearly independent...

Magnitude and frequency of floods in Washington Magnitude and frequency of floods in Washington

Annual maximum instantaneous discharge data for 527 gaging stations with at least 10 years of peak-discharge record on unregulated streams were used to compute the magnitude and frequency of floods on Washington streams. Flood magnitudes having exceedance probabilities of 0.5, 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, and 0.01 were related to physical and climatic characteristics for 504 of the 527 gaging...

Anaerobic oxidation of [1,2-14C]dichloroethene under Mn(IV)-reducing conditions Anaerobic oxidation of [1,2-14C]dichloroethene under Mn(IV)-reducing conditions

Anaerobic oxidation of [1,2-14C]dichloroethene to14CO2 under Mn(IV)-reducing conditions was demonstrated. The results indicate that oxidative degradation of partially chlorinated solvents like dichloroethene can be significant even under anoxic conditions and demonstrate the potential importance of Mn(IV) reduction for remediation of chlorinated groundwater contaminants.

Ground-water age, flow, and quality near a landfill, and changes in ground-water conditions from 1976 to 1996 in the Swinomish Indian Reservation, northwestern Washington Ground-water age, flow, and quality near a landfill, and changes in ground-water conditions from 1976 to 1996 in the Swinomish Indian Reservation, northwestern Washington

This report describes the results of two related studies: a study of ground-water age, flow, and quality near a landfill in the south-central part of the Swinomish Indian Reservation; and a study of changes in ground-water conditions for the entire reservation from 1976 to 1996. The Swinomish Indian Reservation is a 17-square-mile part of Fidalgo Island in northwestern Washington. The...

Water, ice, and meteorological measurements at South Cascade Glacier, Washington, 1997 balance year Water, ice, and meteorological measurements at South Cascade Glacier, Washington, 1997 balance year

Winter snow accumulation and summer snow, firn, and ice melt were measured at South Cascade Glacier, Washington to determine the winter and net balances for the 1997 balance year. The 1997 winter balance, averaged over the glacier, was 3.71 meters, and the net balance was 0.63 meter. The winter balance was the greatest since 1972 (4.27 meters), and the second largest since the record...
