Geologic Setting and Water Quality of Selected Basins in the Active Coal-Mining Areas of Ohio, 1987-88

摘要

The report presents results of data collected during the second phase (July 1987 through October 1988) of the 7-year study. Specifically, the report (1) presents surface-water-quality data for 21 drainage basins in eastern Ohio where coal mining is currently active, (2) describes the physiographic and geologic settings of six selected basins, and (3) presents, within the same six basins, current water-quality data for several ground-water and surface-water sites selected to represent hydrologic conditions in the basins.
