Download or read book Groundwater Quality in the Columbia Plateau Snake River Plain and Oahu Basaltic Rock and Basin Fill Aquifers in the Northwestern United States and Hawaii 1992 2010 written by Lonna M. Frans and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This assessment of groundwater-quality conditions of the Columbia Plateau, Snake River Plain, and Oahu for the period 1992–2010 is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. It shows where, when, why, and how specific water-quality conditions occur in groundwater of the three study areas and yields science-based implications for assessing and managing the quality of these water resources. The primary aquifers in the Columbia Plateau, Snake River Plain, and Oahu are mostly composed of fractured basalt, which makes their hydrology and geochemistry similar. In spite of the hydrogeologic similarities, there are climatic differences that affect the agricultural practices overlying the aquifers, which in turn affect the groundwater quality. Understanding groundwater-quality conditions and the natural and human factors that control groundwater quality is important because of the implications to human health, the sustainability of rural agricultural economies, and the substantial costs associated with land and water management, conservation, and regulation.

Book excerpt: Major findings: 1) The Columbia Plateau, Snake River Plain, and Oahu aquifers are vulnerable to contaminants related to human activities despite depths to groundwater that are among the greatest in the Nation. 2) Chemicals that have been banned for over 30 years are still a potential human-health concern in groundwater. 3) Although the aquifers of the Columbia Plateau, Snake River Plain, and Oahu are composed of similar geologic materials (basalt), contamination issues vary among the aquifers because of differing geochemical conditions and differing land and chemical uses.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well information and groundwater-level measurements for the Columbia Plateau Regional Aquifer System in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, were compiled from data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey and seven other organizations. From the full set of about 60,000 wells and 450,000 water-level measurements a subset of 761 wells within the aquifers of the Columbia River Basalt Group then was used to develop simple linear groundwater trend map for 1968-2009.

This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 46-page report, we characterized the deep aquifer system and its connections to the overlying aquifers in the area of the Hurricane fault in Washington County by examining well logs, creating regional potentiometric-surface maps, compiling groundwater quality data, conducting gravity surveys, examining remote sensing data for surface lineaments, and determining areas for potential monitoring wells. Results of the study were: (1) R and C aquifer groundwater depths are > 500 feet in the I-15 corridor area, (2) a groundwater divide likely exists south of the Utah-Arizona state line, (3) groundwater flow follows open fracture systems, (4) fracture conductivity is highest near the fault, (5) dissolution of evaporites increase groundwater TDS, and (6) a well should be drilled into the Hurricane fault near Pintura.
