“…Where possible, these data are summarized to reduce the size of the data tables. Additional data may be found in reports by Drost and Seitz (1978), Bolke andVaccaro (1979), andVaccaro andBolke (1983). Drost and Seitz (1978) describe the hydrologic characteristics of the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie aquifer in Washington and Idaho, the population distribution overlying the aquifer, the soils overlying the aquifer, the use and disposal of water withdrawn from the aquifer, and the quality of water in the aquifer.…”

“…Some information from their report is included in the following discussion for enhancement and clarification. Bolke and Vaccaro (1979) tabulated hydrologic data from 1977 and 1978 for the Spokane Valley aquifer. Included were nitrogen, phosphorus, chloride, and specific-conductance data for ground-water samples.…”

“…Also, the specific conductance of ground water is usually greater at the valley perimeter than adjacent to the Spokane River. Local increases in the specific conductance of ground water have resulted from land-use activities (Drost andSeitz, 1978, andVaccaro andBolke, 1983). For example, the specific conductance values and chloride concentrations in water from well 25/44-2Q1 were thought to have been affected by wastes from the Kaiser-Trentwood aluminum plant (Drost and Seitz, 1978).…”

“…Depth to water ranges from less than 50 feet along the Spokane River near Spokane to more than 400 feet below land surface near Athol, Idaho (Bolke and Vaccaro, 1979;Berenbrock and others, 1995;Briar and others, 1996;and Stone and others, 1996). The slope of the water table generally reflects the local surface topography, resulting in a general southward direction of ground-water flow from the area near the southern end of Lake Pend Oreille, towards the city of Coeur d'Alene, and then westward towards the city of Spokane (Drost and Seitz, 1978;Molenaar, 1988).…”

FOREWORD iii FOREWORDThe U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is committed to serve the Nation with accurate and timely scientific information that helps enhance and protect the overall quality of life, and facilitates effective management of water, biological, energy, and mineral resources (http://www.usgs.gov/). Information on the quality of the Nation's water resources is of critical interest to the USGS because it is so integrally linked to the long-term availability of water that is clean and safe for drinking and recreation and that is suitable for industry, irrigation, and habitat for fish and wildlife. Escalating population growth and increasing demands for the multiple water uses make water availability, now measured in terms of quantity and quality, even more critical to the long-term sustainability of our communities and ecosystems.The USGS implemented the National WaterQuality Assessment (NAWQA) Program to support national, regional, and local information needs and decisions related to water-quality management and policy (http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/). Shaped by and coordinated with ongoing efforts of other Federal, State, and local agencies, the NAWQA Program is designed to answer: What is the condition of our Nation's streams and ground water? How are the conditions changing over time? How do natural features and human activities affect the quality of streams and ground water, and where are those effects most pronounced? By combining information on water chemistry, physical characteristics, stream habitat, and aquatic life, the NAWQA Program aims to provide science-based insights for current and emerging water issues and priorities. NAWQA results can contribute to informed decisions that result in practical and effective water-resource management and strategies that protect and restore water quality.Since 1991, the NAWQA Program has implemented interdisciplinary assessments in more than 50 of the Nation's most important river basins and aquifers, referred to as Study Units (http://water.usgs.gov/ nawqa/nawqamap.html). Collectively, these Study Units account for more than 60 percent of the overall water use and population served by public water supply, and are representative of the Nation's major hydrologic landscapes, priority ecological resources, and agricultural, urban, and natural sources of contamination.Each assessment is guided by a nationally consistent study design and methods of sampling and analysis. The assessments thereby build local knowledge about water-quality issues and trends in a particular stream or aquifer while providing an understanding of how and why water quality varies regionally and nationally. The consistent, multi-scale approach helps to determine if certain types of waterquality issues are isolated or pervasive, and allows direct comparisons of how human activities and natural processes affect water quality and ecological health in the Nation's diverse geographic and environmental settings. Comprehensive assessments on pesticides, nutrients, volatile organic compounds, trace ...
