Geochemical and hydrologic data for wells and springs in thermal-spring areas of the Appalachians

Hydrology and geochemistry of thermal springs of the appalachians

“…The overall flow system may look something like that in figure 10, but with much of the flow being into the plane of the figure along open tension fractures, bedding, or fault planes and upward beneath the spring. The occurrence of springs along the crests of anticlines in valleys or in water gaps in the Valley and Ridge Province of Virginia and West Virginia has been noted by Rogers (18841, Price, Haskins, and McCue (1936), Hobba, Chemerys, Fisher, and Pearson (1977), and Clark, Chisholm, and Frye (1976). Clark, Chisholm, and Frye (1976) made statistical analyses of the yields of wells in various geologic and topographic situations.…”

“…The measured 613C values are given in table 2, and in Hobba, Chemerys, Fisher, and Pearson (1977) where Saturation indices ( the method of collection and analysis is also described. If CO, gas has been lost from a sample before or during the collection of the 6I3C sample, the analyzed values will not be a true measure of the S13C value of the source water before outgassing because of the isotopicfractionation factor of several permil between CO, gas and dissolved carbonate species.…”

Assessment of geothermal resources of the United States: 1978

“…Information on resources in Central and Eastern United States was provided by investigators at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the Applied Physics Laboratory of The Johns Hopkins University, and the USGS. Locations and information on the thermal springs of the Appalachian Mountains are taken from Hobba, Fisher, Pearson, and Chemerys (1977).…”

Geochemistry of Groundwater in Cretaceous Sediments of the Southeastern Coastal Plain of Eastern Mississippi and Western Alabama

“…Values reported for pH, bicarbonate, carbonate, and temperature were measured on site during the sample collection period. Dissolved gases were collected and analyzed by the methods described byHobba et al [1977]. The r5•3C values were obtained by mass spectroscopy after field preservation of the total inorganic carbon in each sample with am-Generalized geologic section with wells from flow path 1'sea level is National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929.…”
