Ground-water quality data in the Southern Sacramento Valley, California, 2005 — Results from the California GAMA Program
Ground-water quality in the approximately 2,100 square-mile Southern Sacramento Valley study unit (SSACV) was investigated from March to June 2005 as part of the Statewide Basin Assessment Project of Ground-Water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program. This study was designed to provide a spatially unbiased assessment of raw ground-water quality within SSACV, as well as a statistically c

Application of MODFLOW’s farm process to California’s Central Valley
Historically, California’s Central Valley has been one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. The Central Valley also is rapidly becoming an important area for California’s expanding urban population. During 1980–2007, the population nearly doubled in the Central Valley, increasing the competition for water. Because of the importance of ground water in the Central Valley, the U.

Ground-water quality data in the middle Sacramento Valley study unit, 2006— Results from the California GAMA program
Ground-water quality in the approximately 3,340 mi2 Middle Sacramento Valley study unit (MSACV) was investigated from June through September, 2006, as part of the California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program. The GAMA Priority Basin Assessment project was developed in response to the Groundwater Quality Monitoring Act of 2001 and is being conducted by the U.S. Geological

Ground-water quality data in the Monterey Bay and Salinas Valley Basins, California, 2005— Results from the California GAMA program
Ground-water quality in the approximately 1,000-square-mile Monterey Bay and Salinas Valley study unit was investigated from July through October 2005 as part of the California Ground-Water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program. The study was designed to provide a spatially unbiased assessment of raw ground-water quality, as well as a statistically consistent basis for comparing water q

California GAMA program: Ground-water quality data in the northern San Joaquin Basin Study Unit, 2005
Growing concern over the closure of public-supply wells because of ground-water contamination has led the State Water Board to establish the Ground-Water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program. With the aid of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the program goals are to enhance understanding and provide a current assessment of ground-water qualit

Ground-water quality data in the north San Francisco Bay hydrologic provinces, California, 2004: Results from the California Ground-water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program
Ground-water quality in the ~1,000 square-mile (mi2) North San Francisco Bay study unit was investigated from August to November, 2004, as part of the California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program. Samples were collected from 89 public-supply wells, 7 hydrothermal wells, and 1 hydrothermal spring in Napa, Sonoma and Marin Counties. Eighty-four of the public-supply wells s

California GAMA program: ground-water quality data in the San Diego drainages hydrogeologic province, California, 2004
Because of concerns over ground-water quality, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has implemented the Ground-Water Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program. A primary objective of the program is to provide a current assessment of ground-water quality in areas where public s

Occurrence and distribution of pesticide compounds in surface water of the Santa Ana basin, California, 1998-2001
A study of the occurrence and distribution of pesticide compounds in surface water of the highly urbanized Santa Ana Basin, California, was done as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA). One-hundred and forty-eight samples were collected from 23 sites, and analyzed for pesticide compounds during the study period from November 1998 to September 2001

An assessment of optical properties of dissolved organic material as quantitative source indicators in the Santa Ana River basin, Southern California
The ability to rapidly, reliably, and inexpensively characterize sources of dissolved organic material (DOM) in watersheds would allow water management agencies to more quickly identify problems in water sources, and to more efficiently allocate water resources by, for example, permitting real-time identification of high-quality water suitable for ground-water recharge, or poor-quality water in ne
