Hydrogeologic and water-quality data for the East Management Unit of Dover Air Force Base, Kent County, Delaware, 1995-96

Abstract

In this report, "sea level" refers to National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 a geodetic datum derived from a general adjustment of the first-order level nets of the United States and Canada, formerly called Sea Level Datum of 1929. Chemical concentration, specific conductance, and water temperature are reported in metric units. Aqueous chemical concentration is given in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or in micrograms per liter Qig/L). Milligrams per liter is a unit expressing the concentration of chemical constituents in solution as well as weight (milligrams) of solute per unit volume (liter) of water. One thousand micrograms per liter is equivalent to one milligram per liter. For concentrations less than 7,000 mg/L, the numerical value is the same as for concentrations in parts per million. Hydrogen concentrations in samples are expressed in nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).
