Simulations and Laboratory Tests for Assessing Phosphorus Recovery Efficiency from Sewage Sludge by Saba Daneshgar, Armando Buttafava, Arianna Callegari, Andrea G. Capodaglio

“…In this study chemical equilibrium of struvite precipitation was simulated using US Geological Survey (USGS)’ PHREEQC model, and results were compared to laboratory precipitation tests to evaluate struvite recovery efficiency under various conditions. pH had the most significant effect on the results and P recovery of >90% was achieved at pH = 9.5. …”

A Gap-Filling Tool: Predicting Daily Sediment Loads Based on Sparse Measurements by Ying Ouyang

“…This daily sediment load gap-filling tool was validated using measured data from six different US Geological Survey (USGS) gage stations across US. Results showed that the flow-weighted method well predicted daily sediment loads when a good linear correlation existed between measured seasonal sediment loads and measured seasonal stream discharges, which is a prerequisite to apply the flow-weighted method. …”

The distribution, magnitude, and endemic species of US springs by Kirsten Work

“…Therefore, this study evaluated the distribution and size of springs in the US with the national water dataset: the US Geological Survey National Water Information System. Using all available measurements of spring discharge and the sampling dates for all springs with data in the dataset (10,279 springs), I compared the number and sizes of springs between states and, where time series were available, determined whether the springs were maintaining historic discharges. …”
