Surface-water and water-quality data from selected streams and treated waters in the Greensboro Area, North Carolina, 1986-87 Surface-water and water-quality data from selected streams and treated waters in the Greensboro Area, North Carolina, 1986-87

Water and bottom-sediment samples were collected from April 1986 to September 1987 at 19 sites in Guilford County and the City of Greensboro, North Carolina. Sampling locations included 13 stream sites, two lakes that supply City of Greensboro drinking water, two City of Greensboro finished drinking-water filtration plants, and two municipal wastewater plants where effluents were sampled...

Low-flow profiles of the upper Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers and tributaries in Georgia Low-flow profiles of the upper Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers and tributaries in Georgia

Low flow information is provided for use in an evaluation of the capacity of streams to permit withdrawals or to accept waste loads without exceeding the limits of State water quality standards. The purpose of this report is to present the results of a compilation of available low flow data in the form of tables and ' 7Q10 flow profiles ' (minimum average flow for 7 consecutive days with...

Simulation of saltwater movement in the Floridan aquifer system, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina Simulation of saltwater movement in the Floridan aquifer system, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Freshwater to supply Hilton Head Island, S.C., is obtained from the upper permeable zone of the Upper Floridan aquifer. Long-term pumping at Savannah, Ga., and the steadily increasing pumping on Hilton Head Island, have lowered Upper Floridan heads near the center of the island from about 10 feet above sea level to about 6 to 7 feet below sea level. The seaward hydraulic gradient that...

Hydrogeology, aquifer characteristics, and ground-water flow of the surficial aquifer system, Broward County, Florida Hydrogeology, aquifer characteristics, and ground-water flow of the surficial aquifer system, Broward County, Florida

The surficial aquifer system, in which an unconfined groundwater flow system exists, comprises the sediments from land surface to the intermediate confining unit (formerly called the Floridan aquiclude) in Broward County, Florida. These sediments have hydraulic conductivities that range more than seven orders of magnitude from about 0.001 ft/d to more than 10,000 ft/d. The sediments are...

Biological measurements and related chemical features in Soviet and United States regions of the Bering Sea Biological measurements and related chemical features in Soviet and United States regions of the Bering Sea

The U.S. results of a joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. expedition to the Bering Sea in 1984 investigated the chemical and biological interactions in the south, east, north and west regions. The nutrients, phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity were enhanced near the ends of a north-south transect of stations. The southern end of the transect had characteristics of the North Pacific Ocean with...
