Ground-water Levels, Predevelopment Ground-water Flow, and Stream-aquifer Relations in the Vicinity of the Savannah River Site, Georgia and South Carolina


Book Description

“Ground-water levels, predevelopment ground-water flow, and stream-aquifer relations in the vicinity of the U.S. Department of Energy Savannah River Site, Georgia and South Carolina, were evaluated as part of a cooperative study between the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Energy, and Georgia Department of Natural Resources.”
















Estimation of Ground-water Discharge to Streams in the Central Savannah River Basin of Georgia and South Carolina


Book Description

“Ground-water discharge to streams was estimated in the central Savannah River basin near the U.S. Department of Energy, Savannah River Site, and adjacent parts of Georgia and South Carolina using hydrograph-separation techniques and a drought streamflow analysis. The estimated mean-annual ground-water discharge determined from the hydrograph-separation method indicates a greater ground-water contribution to streamflow for Upper Three Runs than for Butler, Brushy, or Brier Creeks.”













Environmental Micropaleontology


Book Description

Microfossils are ideally suited to environmental studies because their short generation times allow them to respond rapidly to environmental change. This book represents an assessment of the progress made in environmental micropalaeontology and sets out future research directions. The taxa studied are mainly foraminifera, but include arcellaceans, diatoms, dinoflagellates, and ostracodes. The papers themselves range from reviews of applications of particular taxa to specific case studies.
