Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71 Environmental tritium in the Edwards Aquifer, central Texas 1963-71

Tritium concentrations of samples from 50 wells and springs in the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio area of Texas have been analysed. Tritium now in the aquifer is partly natural cosmic ray produced tritium, but most is tritium produced by atmospheric thermonuclear tests in the 1950's and early 1960's. The tritium levels in atmospheric precipitation and streams recharging the Edwards...

Geophysical logs from a geologic test hole near Charleston, South Carolina Geophysical logs from a geologic test hole near Charleston, South Carolina

On March 2, 1975, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a series of geophysical well logs in the Charleston Project Deep Core Hole No. 1 located at Latitude 32° 53.2 'N and Longitude 80° 21 . 5'W in Dorchester County near Charleston, South Carolina. The land surface is at an elevation of 5.4 m (18 ft) above mean sea level. The total depth of the test hole is 793 m (2,600 ft) and the

The quality of surface waters in Texas The quality of surface waters in Texas

The discharge-weighted average concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and ,sulfate for many of the principal streams in Texas are less than 500 mg/l (millijgraljls per liter), 250 mg/l, and 250 mg/l, respectively. At 65 of 131 sites on streams that were sampled at least 10 times, the biochemical oxygen demand of at least half the samples exceeded 3.0 mg/l. At 20 of the sites, the...
