Geologic Setting and Water Quality of Selected Basins in the Active Coal-MiningAreas of Ohio, 1989-91, with a Summary of Water Quality for 1985-91

摘要

This report presents streamwater- and ground-water-quality data collected tocharacterize the baseline water quality for 21 drainage basins in the coal-mining region of eastern Ohio. The study area is mostly within the unglaciated part of eastern Ohio along the western edge of the Appalachian Plateaus Physiographic Province. The data collected from 1989-91 and presented in this report represent the third and final phase of a 7-year study to assess baseline water quality in Ohio's coal region during 1985-91.
