Ground-water data from the San Miguel River basin, southwestern Colorado

Hydrologic data were collected from 36 wells and 80 springs in the San Miguel River basin from 1977 to 1979. Depth to water was measured for 22 wells and discharges were measured for 53 springs. Chemical analyses for water samples collected from 23 wells and 25 springs indicated larger dissolved solids concentrations in bedrock water samples than in alluvial water samples. Drillers ' records obtained from the Colorado State Engineer 's Office for 86 wells indicate generally larger yields from wells completed in alluvium than in bedrock. (USGS)

Geohydrology of the valley-fill aquifer in the Cortland-Homer-Preble area, Cortland and Onondaga counties, New York

This report is the first in a seies of 11 map sets depicting geohydrologic conditions in selected aquifers in upstate New York. Geohydrologic data are compiled on seven maps at 1:24,000 scale. Together, the maps provide the first comprehensive treatment of the principal aquifer in western Cortland County. The set depicts surficial geology, geologic sections, soil permeability, water-table altitude, aqufier thickness, estimated well yield, and land use. The maps are designed to help planners evaluate underground waste-disposal practices. (USGS)
