Understanding The Depth And Nature Of Flow Systems In The Nashoba Terrane, Eastern Massachusetts, U.S.A., John P. Diggins
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Igneous and metamorphic rock units have long been considered marginal aquifers yet they are a significant source for potable drinking water in many areas worldwide. Additionally, use of these systems is on the rise due to many factors including, contamination and overuse of surficial systems, as well as expanding population and drought. The Nashoba Terrane is a fault-bounded block of high-grade, steeply dipping metavolcanic and metasedimentary rock located in eastern Massachusetts, U.S.A. The Nashoba is northeast trending, extending from Oxford, MA to the Gulf of Maine south of Newburyport, MA. Seventeen previously drilled wells throughout the Nashoba were selected for …
Effects Of Anthropogenic Stage Fluctuations On Surface Water/Ground Water Interactions Along The Deerfield River, Massachusetts., Brandon J. Fleming
Effects Of Anthropogenic Stage Fluctuations On Surface Water/Ground Water Interactions Along The Deerfield River, Massachusetts., Brandon J. Fleming
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Understanding the connection of surface waters to ground-water systems is important when evaluating potential water resources. In the past surface waters and ground-water have been viewed as two different sources of water but more commonly now they are viewed as one connected resource (Winter et al, 1998). The nature of connection between surface and ground-waters varies depending on climatic and geologic settings, as well as anthropogenic influences such as ground-water pumping and manipulation of river flows by dams. This thesis takes advantage of daily stage changes in the Deerfield River to investigate surface water interactions with ground-water in Charlemont, MA. …
