Direct Current Resistivity Data DC Resitivity Methodology Direct current (DC) resistivity transects were surveyed using an IRIS Syscal Pro Switch 96 instrument (IRIS Instruments, Inc., Orléans, France). Steel electrodes were hammered into the ground at a fixed distance along the profile. These were connected to the instrument using copper wires and junction boxes. The number of electrodes on each profile and their spacing is shown below: Line 1: 180 electrodes, 5 meter spacing Line 2: 48 electrodes, 2 meter spacing Line 3: 48 electrodes, 2 meter spacing Line 4: 24 electrodes, 2 meter spacing Line 5: 36 electrodes, 2 meter spacing On Line 1, the roll-along method was used to extend the line to its full extent.

Categories: Data Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model data sets for Fauquier County, Virginia, 1996 - 2015 A Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model was developed to estimate annual recharge and evapotranspiration (ET) for Fauquier County, Virginia, for the period 1996 through 2015. The model was developed as part of a study to assess groundwater availability in the fractured-rock aquifers underlying Fauquier County. The model is documented in the associated report, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Scientific Investigations Report 2019-5056. The model was calibrated by comparing annual base-flow estimates from the hydrograph separation technique PART to annual recharge estimates from the SWB model for available years of streamflow record at two sites (01643700 and 01656000) within the model area. Selected SWB model parameters were... Tags: Fauquier County, Hydrogeology, SWB, Soil-Water-Balance, USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), All tags...

Both in-phase and quadrature data were collected on 15 channels from a frequency of 810 Hz to 66,090 Hz. This system was carried along profiles that followed the axis of the dam and along tie lines that were perpendicular to the axis of the dam. Each data point was located using a backpack mounted GPS. To correct the drift of the instrument, a base station was established on the east side of the dam. Each survey started and ended with an occupation of the base station. These occupations occur as even line numbers...

The heavy use of the available groundwater resources has resulted in significant groundwater-level declines and reductions in base flow in streams within the MAP. These impacts are limiting well production and threatening future water-availability for the region. This product will help not only scientists in our center, but also at a national level. This product will also be part of a larger study encompassing the Mississippi Alluvial Plain region. The Mississippi Alluvial Plain extent was delineated...

If groundwater models can successfully simulate past conditions, they may be used to evaluate potential future pumping scenarios or climate conditions, thus providing a valuable planning tool for water-resource managers. Quantifying the groundwater-use component for a groundwater model is a vital but often challenging endeavor. This dataset includes groundwater withdrawal rates modeled for the Ozark Plateaus aquifer system (Ozark system) from 1900 to 2010 by groundwater model cell (2.6 square kilometers) for five water-use divisions: agriculture...

A level II survey (Rydlund & Densmore 2012) was conducted on each monument to establish control. Two 4-hour observations were conducted with a staggered approach for each monument, with one 4-hour session in the morning of the first day and one 4-hour session in the afternoon of the second day. Once elevational control was established, a Real Time Kinematic (RTK) system was set up with base on the monument that had the best observations. Using this system, a point cloud survey was conducted along the top and face of the dam using both a monopod and an All-Terrain Vehicle. A Global... Categories: Data Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Data - Inverted Data FDEM Processing The frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) data were downloaded from the GEM-2 instrument and aggregated into a single data file. The data were manually despiked and smoothed to remove negative values and the effects of metallic objects. A drift correction was applied by finding the average in-phase and average quadrature values for each frequency transmitted each time the base station was occupied. This average value was then used to calculate a linear trend of the data in time and the linear trend was subtracted from the data set. After the data were drift corrected, the data was leveled by calculating the arithmetic mean of the survey data subtracting that value from the dataset to level...
