Susceptibility of Water Resources to Water-Quality Impairment from Onsite Wastewater Disposal in Rhode Island
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, is investigating the relationship between onsite wastewater treatment systems and nitrogen loads in water bodies in the Narragansett Bay watershed in Rhode Island.
Estimating Nitrogen Loading from Groundwater and Potential Effects of Sea-Level Rise in Rhode Island's Salt Ponds Region
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Southeast New England Program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is estimating the magnitude, spatial distribution, and travel times of nitrogen-loading to ponds and streams in the Salt Ponds region of southern Rhode Island. This information can be used to guide conservation-management efforts aimed at reducing nitrogen inputs to...
Potential Effects of Reductions in Wastewater Return Flow on the Freshwater Flow System in Falmouth, Massachusetts
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Town of Falmouth, is simulating the potential effects of proposed changes to wastewater return flow on the freshwater system in Falmouth, Massachusetts, using an existing regional groundwater flow model.
MODFLOW-2005 Groundwater Flow Model Used to Simulate Wastewater-Return-Flow Scenarios in Falmouth, Massachusetts MODFLOW-2005 Groundwater Flow Model Used to Simulate Wastewater-Return-Flow Scenarios in Falmouth, Massachusetts
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Town of Falmouth, used an existing groundwater flow model to simulate responses of the freshwater hydrologic system in Falmouth, Massachusetts to proposed wastewater-return-flow scenarios. The existing model is a steady-state, three-dimensional MODFLOW-2005 model of the Sagamore flow lens of the Cape Cod aquifer documented by...
Groundwater-withdrawal and well-construction data in the Upper Colorado River Basin from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming state databases, 1980–2022 Groundwater-withdrawal and well-construction data in the Upper Colorado River Basin from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming state databases, 1980–2022
The U.S. Geological Survey developed a coupled groundwater and surface-water flow (GSFLOW) model to represent the aquifers of the Colorado Plateau and Upper Colorado River Basin. The study area covers approximately 142,000 square miles and includes parts of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. To support this modeling effort, groundwater well withdrawal volume data were...
Conceptual and numerical groundwater flow model of the Iowa River alluvial aquifer near Tama County, Iowa, 1980 through 2022 Conceptual and numerical groundwater flow model of the Iowa River alluvial aquifer near Tama County, Iowa, 1980 through 2022
The Iowa River alluvial aquifer is an important source of water on the Meskwaki Settlement in Tama County, Iowa, which is land owned by the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa (commonly known as the Meskwaki Nation). The U.S. Geological Survey constructed a groundwater flow model, including a conceptual and numerical model, of the Iowa River alluvial aquifer and underlying...

Simulated Hydrologic Responses to Proposed Wastewater-Return-Flow Scenarios in Falmouth, Massachusetts Simulated Hydrologic Responses to Proposed Wastewater-Return-Flow Scenarios in Falmouth, Massachusetts
The Cape Cod aquifer is the sole source of drinking water for communities on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, including the Town of Falmouth, where the aquifer is currently threatened by contamination from septic-system-derived nitrogen. To address this problem, the Town is proposing to sewer areas of Falmouth, treat the wastewater at the Town’s Main Wastewater Treatment Facility (a nitrogen...

A steady-state groundwater flow model for the Des Moines River alluvial aquifer near Prospect Park, Des Moines, Iowa A steady-state groundwater flow model for the Des Moines River alluvial aquifer near Prospect Park, Des Moines, Iowa
The Des Moines River alluvial aquifer is an important source of water for Des Moines Water Works, the municipal water utility that provides residential and commercial water resources to the residents of Des Moines, Iowa, and surrounding municipalities. As an initial step in developing a better understanding of the groundwater resources of the Des Moines River alluvial aquifer, the U.S...
