Use of inexpensive pressure transducers for measuring water levels in wells Use of inexpensive pressure transducers for measuring water levels in wells
Frequent measurement of below ground water levels at multiple locations is an important component of many wetland ecosystem studies. These measurements, however, are usually time consuming, labor intensive, and expensive. This paper describes a water-level sensor that is inexpensive and easy to construct. The sensor is placed below the expected low water level in a shallow well and, when...

Hydrogeologic evaluation of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the southwestern Albany area, Georgia Hydrogeologic evaluation of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the southwestern Albany area, Georgia
A cooperative study by the Albany Water, Gas, and Light Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey was conducted to evaluate the hydrogeology of the Upper Floridan aquifer in an area southwest of Albany and west of the Flint River in Dougherty County, Ga. The study area lies in the Dougherty Plain district of the Coastal Plain physiographic province. In this area, the Upper Floridan...

Ground-water resources of the lower-middle Chattahoochee River basin in Georgia and Alabama, and middle Flint River basin in Georgia - Subarea 3 of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River basins Ground-water resources of the lower-middle Chattahoochee River basin in Georgia and Alabama, and middle Flint River basin in Georgia - Subarea 3 of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River basins
Drought conditions in the 1980's focused attention on the multiple uses of the surface- and ground-water resources in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) and Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) River basins in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. State and Federal agencies also have proposed projects that would require additional water resources and revise operating practices within the...

Low-flow characteristics and profiles for the Deep River in the Cape Fear River basin, North Carolina Low-flow characteristics and profiles for the Deep River in the Cape Fear River basin, North Carolina
An understanding of the magnitude and frequency of low-flow discharges is an important part of protecting surface-water resources and planning for municipal and industrial economic expansion. Low-flow characteristics are summarized for 7 continuous-record gaging stations and 23 partial-record measuring sites in the Deep River Basin in North Carolina. Records of discharge collected...

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 three-dimensional finite-difference digital model was used to simulate ground-water flow in the 25,000-square-mile aquifer system of the North Carolina Coastal Plain. The model was developed from a hydrogeologic framework that is based on an alternating sequence of 10 aquifers and 9 confining units, which make up a seaward-thickening wedge of sediments that form the Coastal Plain...

Seasonal distribution, movements and habitat associations of northern squawfish in two Lower Columbia River reservoirs Seasonal distribution, movements and habitat associations of northern squawfish in two Lower Columbia River reservoirs
We tracked 335 northern squawfish implanted with radio transmitters in the Columbia River in May–December 1993 and May–September 1994. Most fish were released near The Dalles and John Day dams, with the remaining fish released into reservoir areas away from dams. We used boats with mounted Yagi antennas, fixed site receiver stations near the dams and aerial surveys to track movements of...

Chemical evolution and estimated flow velocity of water in the Trinity Aquifer, south-central Texas Chemical evolution and estimated flow velocity of water in the Trinity Aquifer, south-central Texas
Three permeable zones with varying lithology and water chemistry compose the Trinity aquifer, a principal source of water in the 5,500- square-mile study area in south-central Texas. The upper permeable zone locally yields small quantities of water to wells and was not included in this study. The middle permeable zone primarily is composed of limestone with minor amounts of dolostone...
