The U.S. Geological Survey established 24 study areas in the Eastern Appalachian Coal Province to appraise the hydrology and water resources from Alabama to Pennsylvania. Chemical, physical, biological, and streamflow data were collected from 138 synoptic sites in Area 7, eastern Ohio. The data are evaluated and presented in this report. Area 7 lies within the drainage basins of Muskingum, Walhonding, Tuscarawas, and Little Muskingum Rivers and Duck and Wills Creeks in eastern Ohio. Walhonding, Tuscarawas, Little Muskingum, and Muskingum Rivers and Wills and Duck Creeks are the major streams draining the study area.
Area 4, one of the 24 hydrologic areas defining the Eastern Coal Province, is located at the northern end of the Eastern Coal Province in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. It is part of the upper Ohio River basin, which includes the Beaver, Mahoning, and Shenango Rivers, and is underlain by rocks of the Pottsville, Allegheny, Conemaugh, Monongahela Groups (or Formations), and Dunkard Groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
