Leslie A DeSimone
Leslie DeSimone is a Hydrologist in the New England Water Science Center.
Leslie serves as the Center Water-Quality Specialist and as an analyst for the National Water-Quality Assessment Project.
Leslie started with USGS in 1988 and has worked on a broad range of studies on topics such as contaminant occurrence and transport in groundwater, surface-water quality trends and loads, and groundwater flow and availability.
Current work includes:
- Machine-learning models of groundwater quality in the mid-Atlantic region
- Technical assistance on water-quality data and studies in New England
- Water-quality database management
Recent work includes:
- National compilations of water quality in U.S. Principal Aquifers and in domestic wells
- Mapping bedrock well yield in eastern Massachusetts

Lithogeochemical character of near-surface bedrock in the New England coastal basins Lithogeochemical character of near-surface bedrock in the New England coastal basins
This geographic information system (GIS) data layer shows the generalized lithologic and geochemical, termed lithogeochemical, character of near-surface bedrock in the New England Coastal Basin (NECB) study area of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. The area encompasses 23,000 square miles in western and central Maine, eastern Massachusetts...

Simulation of ground-water flow and evaluation of water-management alternatives in the upper Charles River basin, eastern Massachusetts Simulation of ground-water flow and evaluation of water-management alternatives in the upper Charles River basin, eastern Massachusetts
Ground water is the primary source of drinking water for towns in the upper Charles River Basin, an area of 105 square miles in eastern Massachusetts that is undergoing rapid growth. The stratified-glacial aquifers in the basin are high yield, but also are thin, discontinuous, and in close hydraulic connection with streams, ponds, and wetlands. Water withdrawals averaged 10.1 million...

Statewide water-quality network for Massachusetts Statewide water-quality network for Massachusetts
A water-quality monitoring program is proposed that would provide data to meet multiple information needs of Massachusetts agencies and other users concerned with the condition of the State's water resources. The program was designed by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Watershed Management, with input from many...

Use of computer programs STLK1 and STWT1 for analysis of stream-aquifer hydraulic interaction Use of computer programs STLK1 and STWT1 for analysis of stream-aquifer hydraulic interaction
Quantifying the hydraulic interaction of aquifers and streams is important in the analysis of stream base fow, flood-wave effects, and contaminant transport between surface- and ground-water systems. This report describes the use of two computer programs, STLK1 and STWT1, to analyze the hydraulic interaction of streams with confined, leaky, and water-table aquifers during periods of...
