Geohydrology of the Meadowbrook Artificial-Recharge Site at East Meadow, Nassau County, New York
Purpose and scope: The Meadowbrook artificial-recharge project, a cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Nassau County Department of Public Works (NCDPW) since 1975, is intended to demonstrate the feasibility of using reclaimed wastewater to replenish and improve the quality of Long Island's ground water. This report presents the results of geologic, hydrologic, and hydrochemical studies that were done at the Meadowbrook artificial-recharge site to define conditions prevailing before the start of recharge operations.

U.S. Geological Survey Research in Radioactive Waste Disposal--Fiscal Year 1981
Abstract: The report summarizes progress on geologic and hydrologic research related to the disposal of radioactive wastes. The research is described according to whether it is related most directly to (1) high-level and transuranic wastes; (2) low-level wastes, or (3) uranium mill tailings. Included is research applicable to the identification and geohydrologic characterization of waste-disposal sites, to investigations of specific sites where wastes have been stored, and to studies of regions or environments where waste-disposal sites might be located. A significant part of the activity is concerned with techniques and methods for characterizing disposal sites and studies of geologic and hydrologic processes related to the transport and (or) retention of waste radionuclides.

Hydraulic Considerations in Sampling the Unsaturated Zone with Inclined Gravity Lysimeters
Purpose and scope: This report discusses the design, theory of operation, performance characteristics, and sampling implications if the inclined gravity lysimeter. This variation of a gravity lysimeter can be constructed to maximize capture efficiency and eliminate artificial filtration and is used most successfully in coarse, moist soils where access for installation is from a trench or observation manhole.

Impact of Changes in Land Use on the Ground-Water System in the Sequim-Dungeness Peninsula, Clallam County, Washington
From purpose and scope: In 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the Board of Clallum County Commissioners, began a study that would (1) make a general assessment of the water resources of the developed area of the county, (2) identify present and potential water-resource problems in these areas, and (3) make in-depth analyses of selected problem areas. The first two items have been completed and documented in a forthcoming report by Drost.

A Method for Estimating Ground-Water Return Flow to the Lower Colorado River in the Yuma Area, Arizona and California--Executive Summary
Purpose and scope: The purpose of this study was to develop a method for estimating the amount of subsurface return flow to the Colorado River in the Yuma area. This report presents a method that will permit an accounting of ground-water return flows from each side of the Colorado River in the Yuma reach. The estimates of return flow can be used by water-management agencies in determining return-flow credits for the States of Arizona and California.

Simulated Effects of Anticipated Coal Mining on Dissolved Solids in Selected Tributaries of the Yampa River, Northwestern Colorado
From introduction: The overall objective of this report is to determine the cumulative effects of mining on dissolved solids in the Yampa River basin. more specifically the approach is (1) to develop a model of streamflow and dissolved solids focused on the Trout Creek drainage and a reach of the Yampa River main stem; (2) to calibrate this model with existing data; (3) to insert into the model future mine plans as given by the Mined Land Reclamation Division to determine cumulative effects of mining on dissolved solids in the streamflow.

Effects of Ground-Water Development in the North Fort Hood Area, Coryell County, Texas
From introduction: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, is studying the long-term availability of the existing ground-water supplies at North Fort Hood. In connection with this study, the Corps asked the U.S. Geological Survey to compile the available ground-water data, to collect data on current conditions, and to assess the effects of ground-water development in the vicinity of North Fort Hood. These items are presented in this report.

PHRQINPT--An Interactive Computer Program for Constructing Input Data Sets to the Geochemical Simulation Program PHREEQE
Abstract: PHRQINPT is a FORTRAN 77 program that facilitates formulation of the input data file to PHREEQE (Parkhurst, Thorstenson, and Plummer, 1980). PHRQINPT runs interactively and contains many features to help the user construct the input data set. This report describes these features and gives instructions on the use and implementation of PHRQINPT. A listing of the program and the two accompanying data sets are given in the Attachments, along with two examples.
