...50 year management plan for water and related land resources covering area from Virginia through New England; includes projections of ALL types to 2020...
The following chapters are intended to show, among other things, that ground water and surface water are essentially one resource. The three major types of acquifers--coastal plain strata, consolidated rocks, and glacial deposits--are discussed with reference to their ground-water potential; namely, the natural recharge per unit area, the yields of wells that may be expected in the various formations, and the amount and quality of ground water that might be produced on a sustained basis. Lastly, techniques of ground-water management are discussed by which the present total available water in the system may be increased by utilizing underground storage in periods of low flow, by artificial recharge devices and by salvage of evapotranspiration loss. The possible advantages of ground-water development, other than the advantage of increasing the volume of available water, are touched upon but not discussed in detail. The great advantage in a ground-water development is ordinarily one of costs, particularly where small to moderate supplies are needed in any one area, or where a large aggregate demand can be satisfied by well fields spread throughout a basin. A detailed assessment of costs of ground-water developments in various geological environments is given in the second section of this paper.
Groundwater Science, 2E, covers groundwater's role in the hydrologic cycle and in water supply, contamination, and construction issues. It is a valuable resource for students and instructors in the geosciences (with focuses in hydrology, hydrogeology, and environmental science), and as a reference work for professional researchers. This interdisciplinary text weaves important methods and applications from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, biology, and environmental science, introducing you to the mathematical modeling and contaminant flow of groundwater. New to the Second Edition:. New chapter on subsurface heat flow and geothermal systems. Expanded content on well construction and design, surface water hydrology, groundwater/ surface water interaction, slug tests, pumping tests, and mounding analysis.. Updated discussions of groundwater modeling, calibration, parameter estimation, and uncertainty. Free software tools for slug test analysis, pumping test analysis, and aquifer modeling. Lists of key terms and chapter contents at the start of each chapter. Expanded end-of-chapter problems, including more conceptual questions. Two-color figures. Homework problems at the end of each chapter and worked examples throughout. Companion website with videos of field exploration and contaminant migration experiments, PDF files of USGS reports, and data files for homework problems. PowerPoint slides and solution manual for adopting faculty.
This report (185 pages and 2 plates) presents new and compiled geologic, geophysical, hydrologic, and hydrochemical data to delineate the regional ground-water flow system in Curlew Valley. Decreased precipitation combined with increased agricultural pumping in the central part of Curlew Valley since the late 1960s caused a steady decline in discharge at the Locomotive Springs complex. The report includes a compiled geologic map of the Curlew Valley surface-drainage basin at 1:100,000 scale and new geologic and hydrochemical data.
