Metal bioavailability and toxicity to fish in low-alkalinity lakes: A critical review Metal bioavailability and toxicity to fish in low-alkalinity lakes: A critical review
Fish in low-alkalinity lakes having pH of 6·0–6·5 or less often have higher body or tissue burdens of mercury, cadmium, and lead than do fish in nearby lakes with higher pH. The greater bioaccumulation of these metals in such waters seems to result partly from the greater aqueous abundances of biologically available forms (CH3 Hg+, Cd2+, and Pb2+) at low pH. In addition, the low...

Hydrology of the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems Hydrology of the Texas Gulf Coast aquifer systems
A complex, multilayered ground-water flow system exists in the Coastal Plain sediments of Texas. The Tertiary and Quaternary clastic deposits have an areal extent of 114,000 square miles onshore and in the Gulf of Mexico. Two distinct aquifer systems are recognized within the sediments, which range in thickness from a few feet to more than 12,000 feet The older system--the Texas coastal...

Hydrogeology of the surficial aquifer system, Dade County, Florida Hydrogeology of the surficial aquifer system, Dade County, Florida
An investigation of the surficial aquifer system in Dade County, begun in 1983, is part of a regional study of the aquifer system in southeastern Florida. Test drilling for lithologic samples, flow measurements during drilling, aquifer testing, and analyses of earlier data permitted delineation of the hydraulic conductivity distribution (on hydrogeologic sections), the aquifers in the...

Major-ion and selected trace-metal chemistry of the Biscayne Aquifer, Southeast Florida Major-ion and selected trace-metal chemistry of the Biscayne Aquifer, Southeast Florida
The major-ion and selected trace-metal chemistry of the Biscayne aquifer was characterized as part of the Florida Ground-Water Quality Monitoring Network Program, a multiagency cooperative effort concerned with delineating baseline water quality for major aquifer systems in the State. The Biscayne aquifer is unconfined and serves as the sole source of drinking water for more than 3...

Geohydrology and evaluation of water-resource potential of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Albany area, southwestern Georgia Geohydrology and evaluation of water-resource potential of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the Albany area, southwestern Georgia
In the Albany area of southwestern Georgia, the Upper Floridan aquifer lies entirely within the Dougherty Plain district of the Coastal Plain physiographic province, and consists of the Ocala Limestone of late Eocene age. The aquifer is divided throughout most of the study area into an upper and a lower lithologic unit, which creates an upper and a lower water-bearing zone. The lower...

Records of wells, drillers' logs, water-level measurements, and chemical analyses of ground water in Chambers, Liberty, and Montgomery Counties, Texas, 1985-89 Records of wells, drillers' logs, water-level measurements, and chemical analyses of ground water in Chambers, Liberty, and Montgomery Counties, Texas, 1985-89
Data for water wells and ground water in Chambers, Liberty, and Montgomery Counties were collected during 1985-89 by the U.S. Geological Survey. This report presents a compilation of records for 4 wells in Chambers County, 8 wells in Liberty County, and 64 wells in Montgomery County. Drillers' logs of 60 wells, water levels for 84 wells, chemical analyses of water for 11 wells, and water...

Simulation of ground-water flow in the coastal plain aquifer system of North Carolina Simulation of ground-water flow in the coastal plain aquifer system of North Carolina
A 3-D finite difference digital model was used to simulate groundwater flow in the 25,000 sq mi aquifer system of the North Carolina Coastal Plain. The model was developed from a geohydrologic framework that is based on an alternating sequence of 10 aquifers and 9 confining units, which comprise a seaward-thickening wedge of sediments that form the Coastal Plain aquifer system in North...
