Ground-water quality data from the southeastern coastal plain, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina

Water-quality data from major aquifers of the southeastern Coastal Plain, U.S., were collected from 1981 through 1983, as part of the Southeastern Sand Aquifer Study of the Regional Aquifer-System Analysis of the U.S. Geological Survey.Samples were obtained from 104 wells and 1 spring.The report contains six tables of data and one map showing geographic locations of the sample sites.Major and minor chemical constituents, trace metals, radiochemical data including tritium and carbon-14, carbon-13, deuterium, oxygen-18, and dissolved gases were collected employing the best available collection techniques and analytical methods.Values for pH, bicarbonate and carbonate, and temperature (uphole) were determined at the sampling site.The data will be used to calculate mineral saturation and mass transfer in aquifers of the southeastern Coastal Plain.All of the data will reside in the Geological Survey's WATSTORE Computer system in Reston, Va., and may be accessed using Survey access and retrieval programs.
