Geochemical assessment of mixing advanced treated wastewater and groundwater in the Harmony Grove Basin, Southern California Anthony Fisher ABSTRACT The Harmony Grove basin aquifer is located in San Diego California. This location is being sought after by the Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District for storage of advanced treated wastewater (ATW). After storage, pumping of groundwater is proposed for potable reuse. The project consultant sampled and analyzed groundwater chemical...

An overview of the KKN program at Universitas Gadjah Mada from an international perspective and the opportunity for further undergraduate exchange from San Diego State University Michael Verrier Department of Geological Sciences San Diego State University Summary This seminar will be about my experience as an international exchange student from the Geological Sciences Department at San Diego State University (SDSU) participating in the community hazard mitigation field camp...

Indications of release of constituents into groundwater in San Diego County's South Chollas Landfill Brianne Rohrer Advisor Dr. Kathy Thorbjarnarson ABSTRACT Landfills in San Diego County were not required to be lined until the 1970's, and accepted hazardous waste until the 1990's. South Chollas landfill was designed as an unlined landfill and stopped receiving waste in 1981. The by-products of trash degradation in the South Chollas Landfill produced volatile organic compounds such a...

Water Chemistry in Two Multi-Depth Monitoring Wells in San Diego, California: A Comparison of Core Extracted Pore Water Versus Multiple Depth Well Samples Heather O'Brien ABSTRACT In 2001, the United States Geological Survey, in partnership with Sweetwater Authority and the City of San Diego, began a study to assess the geology and hydrology of the San Diego area. In addition to collecting surface water samples, seven multi-depth wells have been installed by USGS into the San Diego...

Sources of Fecal Indicator Bacteria in Urban Streams and Ocean Beaches, Santa Barbara, California; Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) concentrations in urban streams and ocean beaches in Santa Barbara, Calif. can exceed water-quality standards for recreational water. During low flow, high FIB concentrations in urban streams were associated with point discharges from storm drains, and concentrations in urban streamflow varied three-fold over the course of a day as a result of small variations in...
