Water resources data for the 1982 water year for Pennsylvania consist of records of discharge and water quality of streams; elevation and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and elevation of tides; and water levels of ground-water wells. This volume contains records for water discharge at 66 gaging stations; elevation and contents at 11 lakes and reservoirs; elevation of tides at 1 gaging station; water quality at 33 gaging stations; and water levels at 16 observation wells. Also included are data for 34 crest-stage, 80 low-flow, and 43 water-quality partial-record stations. Locations of these sites are shown on figures 6 through 9. Additional water data were collected at various sites not involved in the systematic data-collection program and are published as miscellaneous measurements and analyses. These data together with the data in Volume 2 and 3 represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the
U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State, local and Federal agencies in Pennsylvania.
Tracing of rhodamine WT dye has provided time-of-travel data for waste-load allocation studies of a 42.8-mile reach of the Flint River at low flow. A discharge equaled or exceeded about 90 percent of the time was measured at Grand Traverse Street in Flint before dye injection. Dye was injected at two locations in Flint--at Utah Dam and at Grand Traverse Street, From Utah Dam to Grand Traverse Street, the mean velocity of flow was about 0.1 foot per second; time-of-travel was 35.3 hours. From Grand Traverse Street to Highway M-13, mean velocity was about 0.7 foot per second; time-of-travel was 78.8 hours. Time-of-travel for the reach between Utah Dam and Highway M-13 was thus 114 hours.

Net transport of all nutrient species and most other constituents, especially those found in greatest concentrations associated with suspended material, is dominated by a few spring and storm-related high-flow events. Atrazine and 2,4-D are the two herbicides most consistently detected at the Fall Line of the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers. Concentrations of total residual chlorine and low-molecular-weight, halogenated hydrocarbons at selected sites in estuaries to the upper Bay are generally at or below detection limits. When compared to the two other major tributaries, the James River has the lowest discharge-weighted-sulfate concentrations, presumably because of the lack of coal mining activity in this basin. This river also has lower total nitrogen concentrations. Ammonia concentrations and loads are decreasing at all three Fall Line stations, as is orthophosphate in the Susquehanna and Potomac Rivers. Slight increases in total nitrogen and nitrite plus nitrate concentrations in the Susquehanna River from 1969 to 1980 may warrant continued monitoring.
Analyses of data for this report confirm the previous suggestion that when water discharge of the Susquehanna River at Conowingo, Maryland, is below about 400,000 cubic feet per second, sediment, with sorbed nutrients and other constituents, is deposited behind the three hydroelectric dams on this river between Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and its mouth. Discharges above 400,000 cubic feet per second resuspend these sediments and transport constituent loads to the Bay well in excess of loads transported by the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg. In addition to precipitation quantity and intensity, antecedent conditions and season of the year play a major role in the transport of sediments and their associated chemical constituents at all three stations.
Aqueous chemical and radioactive wastes discharged to shallow ponds and to shallow or deep wells on the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) since 1952 have affected the quality of the ground water in the underlying Snake River Plain aquifer. The aqueous wastes have created large and laterally dispersed concentration plumes within the aquifer. The waste plumes with the largest areal distribution are those of chloride, tritium, and with high specific conductance values. The data from eight wells drilled near the southern INEL boundary during the summer of 1980 were used to evaluate the accuracy of a predictive modeling study completed in 1973, and to simulate 1980 positions of chloride and tritium plumes. Data interpretation from the drilling program indicates that the hydrogeologic characteristics of the subsurface rocks have marked effects on the regional ground-water flow regimen and, therefore, the movement of aqueous wastes. As expected, the waste plumes projected by the computer model for 1980, extended somewhat further downgradient than indicated by well data due to conservative worst-case assumptions in the model input and inaccurate approximations of subsequent waste discharge and aquifer recharge conditions.

This report presents a summary of hydrologic data and an evaluation of areas where additional hydrologic data are needed to provide a data base suitable for use in making decisions regarding future water development.
The largest and most dependable surface-water supplies that can be obtained without storage from tributary streams, as indicated by the 30-day low flow with recurrence interval of 10 years, potentially are available from the lower Grand River (15 to 30 million gallons per day) and the Nodaway and Chariton Rivers (5 to 10 million gallons per day). Flow of the Missouri River is greater than 1,300 million gallons per day at all points in Missouri. Surface water is primarily a calcium bicarbonate
type with dissolved-solids concentration less than 400 milligrams per liter.
Sources of water in surficial deposits are the Missouri River alluvium (well yields as much as 2,000 gallons per minute), glacial drift (well yields of 30 to 500 gallons per minute), and alluvium of tributary streams (well yields exceed 50 gallons per minute in large basins). The Pennsylvanian bedrock yields only a few gallons per minute to wells. The Cambrian and Ordovician formations are not evaluated because data are few, and there are no water wells open to these units. Water from the alluvium is a hard, calcium bicarbonate type that commonly has relatively large iron concentrations and typically has dissolved-solids concentrations of less than 500 milligrams per liter. Water from the glacial-drift and bedrock generally is a mixed calcium bicarbonate sodium sulfate type, is hard, has relatively large iron concentrations, and some of it is classified as saline.
Areas where additional hydrologic data are needed to provide a data base suitable for use in making decisions regarding future water development include the lower Grand and Thompson River basins, the Missouri River alluvial aquifer, the Nodaway-Tarkio-One Hundred and Two River basins, the Chariton River basin, and the 19 counties where surface-mineable coal reserves make coal-related industrial expansion possible.

One of the data sites was located upstream from the five-mile long excavated reach and served as a background station. Changes in various characteristics of this Coastal Plain stream were determined by comparing data collected before, during, and after the construction period. After deepening of the channel by more than 2 feet, ground-water levels within 100 feet of the stream declined a proportionate amount; however, levels in a well 500 feet from the stream were unchanged. Flow velocities during channel deepening were 100 percent higher than velocities prior to construction. An average increase in water temperatures of about one degree Celsius was observed following removal of trees and brush that provided shading to the stream. After construction, concentrations of dissolved oxygen also increased. The percent of saturation increased 20 to 25 percent in the lower values. Maximum concentrations of suspended sediment increased from about 75 mg/L prior to construction to over 2000 mg/L during construction. Within a year after construction, levels of suspended sediment during stormflow had decreased but remained 5 to 10 times greater than preconstruction levels. Little or no change occurred in pH, total-dissolved solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, and bacteria.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/wri824083","usgsCitation":"Simmons, C., and Watkins, S., 1982, The effects of channel excavation on water-quality characteristics of the Black River and on ground-water levels near Dunn, North Carolina: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4083, v, 33 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri824083.","productDescription":"v, 33 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[{"id":13634,"text":"South Atlantic Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":58538,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1982/4083/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":160487,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1982/4083/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"North Carolina","city":"Dunn","otherGeospatial":"Black River","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -78.82415771484375,\n 35.14349410278418\n ],\n [\n -78.82415771484375,\n 35.55792619233778\n ],\n [\n -78.519287109375,\n 35.55792619233778\n ],\n [\n -78.519287109375,\n 35.14349410278418\n ],\n [\n -78.82415771484375,\n 35.14349410278418\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a9be4b07f02db65dfee","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Simmons, C.E.","contributorId":32572,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Simmons","given":"C.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":202028,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Watkins, S.A.","contributorId":83962,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Watkins","given":"S.A.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":202029,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":20008,"text":"ofr821017 - 1982 - Water-quality data for streams in the southern Yampa River basin, northwestern Colorado","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:07:34","indexId":"ofr821017","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1982","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":330,"text":"Open-File Report","code":"OFR","onlineIssn":"2331-1258","printIssn":"0196-1497","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"82-1017","title":"Water-quality data for streams in the southern Yampa River basin, northwestern Colorado","docAbstract":"Increases in coal mining in Colorado have raised questions regarding the impact of mining on the quality of surface water. An area where increases have caused particular concern is in northwestern Colorado, in the southern part of the Yampa River basin. In order to identify the changes produced by mining in the area it is necessary first to identify the water chemistry resulting from the geology, climate, and land use. To answer the above questions, a program for the synoptic collection of water-quality data was developed in which a network of sampling sites was established to determine the surface-water chemistry. \r\n\r\nThis study was begun in April 1981. Water-quality samples were collected from sites on all continuously flowing streams in the southern part of the Yampa River basin from the Oak Creek drainage near Steamboat Springs on the east to the surface-water gaging station on the Yampa River near Maybell on the west. Each water-quality site was sampled repetitively as changes occurred in discharge and specific conductance. Water-quality data from surface-water gaging stations in the area for water years 1976 to 1981 are included in the report.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey :\r\nOpen-File Services Section, Western Distribution Branch [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/ofr821017","usgsCitation":"Maura, W.S., 1982, Water-quality data for streams in the southern Yampa River basin, northwestern Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 82-1017, iv, 116 p. :map ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr821017.","productDescription":"iv, 116 p. :map ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":110123,"rank":700,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_33660.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"},"description":"33660"},{"id":152502,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/1017/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":49537,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/1017/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":49538,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/1017/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4888e4b07f02db51ad70","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Maura, Wendy S.","contributorId":9673,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Maura","given":"Wendy","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":181892,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":9115,"text":"ofr82793 - 1982 - Heat-flow measurements at shot points along the 1978 Saudi Arabia seismic deep-refraction line; Part I, Results of the measurements","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:06:14","indexId":"ofr82793","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1982","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":330,"text":"Open-File Report","code":"OFR","onlineIssn":"2331-1258","printIssn":"0196-1497","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"82-793","title":"Heat-flow measurements at shot points along the 1978 Saudi Arabia seismic deep-refraction line; Part I, Results of the measurements","docAbstract":"Heat-flow measurements were made at five onland shot points of the 1978 Saudi Arabian seismic deep-refraction line, which sample major tectonic elements of the Arabian Shield along a profile from Ar Riyad to the Farasan Islands. Because of the pattern drilling at each shot point, several holes (60 m deep) could be logged for temperature at each site and thus allow a better estimate of the geothermal gradient. Each site was mapped and sampled in detail, and modal and. chemical analyses of representative specimens were made in the laboratory. Thermal conductivities were computed from the modal analyses and single-mineral conductivity data. \r\n\r\nThe resulting heat-flow values, combined with published values for the Red Sea and coastal plain, indicate a three-level pattern, with a heat flow of about 4.5 heat-flow unit (HFU) over the Red Sea axial trough, about 3.0 HFU over the shelf and coastal plain, and an essentially constant 1.0 HFU over the Arabian Shield at points well away from the suture zone with the oceanic crust. At three sites where the rocks are granitic, gamma-ray spectrometry techniques were employed to estimate thorium, potassium, and uranium concentrations. The resulting plot of heat generation versus heat flow suggests that in the Arabian Shield the relationship between heat flow and heat production is not linear. More heat-flow data are essential to establish or reject this conclusion.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr82793","usgsCitation":"Gettings, M.E., and Showail, A., 1982, Heat-flow measurements at shot points along the 1978 Saudi Arabia seismic deep-refraction line; Part I, Results of the measurements: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 82-793, iii, 102 p., ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr82793.","productDescription":"iii, 102 p., ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":141929,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0793/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":36727,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0793/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a69e4b07f02db63c289","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gettings, M.

Broad continental uplift associated with Red Sea rifting is symmetric about the Red Sea axis, and geologic and geochronologic evidence indicate that uplift has occurred mainly in the interval 25-13 Ma (mega-annum) ago. Thermal-profile changes in the upper mantle resulting from an influx of hot material associated with rifting yield the correct order of magnitude of uplift, and this mechanism is suggested as the explanation for the regional doming. A lithospheric section, constructed from seismic refraction, gravity, and regional geologic data, provides the framework for construction of thermal models. \r\n\r\nThermal gradient measurements were made in drill holes at five shot points. Geotherms for the Shield, which assume a radiogenic heat-source distribution that decreases exponentially with depth, yield temperatures of about 450?C at a depth of 40 km (base of the crust) for shot points 2 (Sabhah) and 3. The geotherm for shot point 4 (near Bishah) yields a distinctly higher temperature (about 580?C) for the same depth. \r\n\r\nStatic models used to model the heat flow in the oceanic crust of the Red Sea shelf and coastal plain either yield too small a heat flow to match the observed heat flow or give lithosphere thicknesses that are so thin as to be improbable. Dynamic (solid-state accretion) models, which account for mantle flow at the base of the lithosphere, adequately match the observed heat-flow values. In the deep-water trough of the Red Sea, which is presently undergoing active sea-floor spreading, classical models of heat flow for a moving slab with accretion at the spreading center are adequate to explain the average heat-flow level. \r\n\r\nAt shot point 5 (Ad Darb), the anomalous heat flow of 2 HFU (heat-flow units) can be explained in terms of a Shield component (0.8-1.0 HFU) and a component related to heating by the abutting oceanic crust a few kilometers away for periods exceeding 10 Ma. Analytical results are included for: 1) the cooling of a static sheet with an initial temperature distribution characteristic of a moving slab in a sea-floor spreading environment, and 2) the heating of a homogeneous quarter-space at its vertical boundary.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr82794","usgsCitation":"Gettings, M.E., 1982, Heat-flow measurements at shot points along the 1978 Saudi Arabia seismic deep-refraction line; Part II, Discussion and interpretation: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 82-794, ii, 43 p., ill. ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr82794.","productDescription":"ii, 43 p., ill. ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":141604,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0794/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":36728,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0794/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a69e4b07f02db63c67f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gettings, M.

The purpose of the study was to determine the relationships between land use, watershed characteristics, and the quantity, quality, and timing of runoff.
\nDischarge and water-quality data were collected at 19 sites located in 6 rural and 4 urban watersheds. Basin characteristics and land use were determined for each watershed. Recording instruments provided continuous discharge records at 17 sites and continuous rainfall records at 12 sites. Automatic samplers were used at 12 sites. Water-quality samples were collected at 15- to 60-minute intervals during periods of increased runoff. Samples were collected periodically during low flow. Primary emphasis was placed on analysis of samples for suspended solids, nutrients, and oxygen-demanding constituents. Secondary emphasis was placed on analysis for chloride, metals, bacteria, pesticides, and PCB's. Wetfall and dryfall precipitation-quality data were collected at six sites.
\nDischarge and water-quality data were used to calculate storm and daily loads of chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, ammonia plus organic nitrogen, nitrite plus nitrate-nitrogen, total phosphorus, chloride, and lead.
\nAll data collected during the study are documented in tables that contain watershed characteristics and land use, daily and unit values for discharge and rainfall, rainfall characteristics, water-quality data for runoff and precipitation, results of laboratory settling tests, results of quality-assurance tests, dally loads, and storm loads.

Data indicate that 82 percent of the time the flow in Wilsons Creek upstream from the wastewater-treatment plant is less than the effluent discharged from the plant. On October 15, 1977, an advanced wastewater-treatment facility was put into operation. Of the four water-quality indicators measured at the monitoring stations (specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, and water temperature), only dissolved oxygen showed improvement downstream from the plant. During urban runoff, the specific conductance momentarily increased and dissolved-oxygen concentration momentarily decreased in Wilsons Creek upstream from the plant. Urban runoff was found to have no long-term effects on specific conductance and dissolved oxygen downstream from the plant before or after the addition of the advanced wastewater-treatment facility. Data collected monthly from the James River showed that the dissolved-oxygen concentrations and the total nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen concentrations increased, whereas the dissolved-manganese concentrations decreased after the advanced wastewater-treatment facility became operational.

The eastern Snake River Plain is a structural basin which has been filled with thin basaltic lava flows, rhyolitic deposits, and interbedded sediments. These rocks form an extensive ground-water reservoir known as the Snake River Plain aquifer. \r\n\r\nSix wells were drilled and two existing wells were deepened at the INEL from 1969 through 1974. Interpretation of data from the drilling program confirms that the subsurface is dominated by basalt flows interbedded with layers of sediment, cinders, and silicic volcanic rocks. \r\n\r\nWater levels in the wells show cyclic seasonal fluctuations of maximum water levels in winter and minimum water levels in mid-summer. Water levels in three wells near the Big Lost River respond to changes in recharge to the Snake River Plain aquifer from the Big Lost River. Measured water levels in multiple piezometers in one well indicate increasing pressure heads with depth. A marked decline in water levels in the wells since 1977 is attributed to a lack of recharge to the Snake River Plain aquifer.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr82644","usgsCitation":"Goldstein, F., and Weight, W., 1982, Subsurface information from eight wells drilled at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, southeastern Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 82-644, v, 34 p., ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr82644.","productDescription":"v, 34 p., ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":141609,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0644/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":36794,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0644/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b05e4b07f02db6997a8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Goldstein, F.J.","contributorId":71975,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Goldstein","given":"F.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":159233,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Weight, W.D.","contributorId":81906,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Weight","given":"W.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":159234,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":10860,"text":"ofr82980 - 1982 - Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:06:34","indexId":"ofr82980","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1982","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":330,"text":"Open-File Report","code":"OFR","onlineIssn":"2331-1258","printIssn":"0196-1497","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"82-980","title":"Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California","docAbstract":"Geological, geophysical, thermal, petrophysical and hydrological data available for the East Mesa hydrothermal system that are pertinent to the construction of a computer model of the natural flow of heat and fluid mass within the system are assembled and correlated. A conceptual model of the full system is developed and a subregion selected for quantitative modeling. By invoking the .Boussinesq approximation, valid for describing the natural flow of heat and mass in a liquid hydrothermal system, it is found practical to carry computer simulations far enough in time to ensure that steady-state conditions are obtained. Initial calculations for an axisymmetric model approximating the system demonstrate that the vertical formation permeability of the deep East Mesa system must be very low (kv ~ 0.25 to 0.5 md). Since subsurface temperature and surface heat flow data exhibit major deviations from the axisymmetric approximation, exploratory three-dimensional calculations are performed to assess the effects of various mechanisms which might operate to produce such observed asymmetries. A three-dimensional model evolves from this iterative data synthesis and computer analysis which includes a hot fluid convective source distributed along a leaky fault radiating northward from the center of the hot spot and realistic variations in the reservoir formation properties.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr82980","usgsCitation":"Riney, T.D., Pritchett, J., and Rice, L., 1982, Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 82-980, 118 p., ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr82980.","productDescription":"118 p., ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":144916,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0980/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":38644,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0980/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e499ee4b07f02db5bcb4b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Riney, T.

Using these at-a-station relations as a base, regional relations were then developed that characterize hydraulic features of streams throughout the study area. Channel size is an indication of flow magnitude. High flows affect channel formation, and the annual peak-flow array is a representation of these flows. The geometric mean of this array is a viable statistical index of channel-forming flows because it represents the relative magnitude of high flows at a site. Bankfull discharge is a physical index of flows dominating channel formation. The magnitude of the geometric mean approximately equates to bankfull discharge, on the average. Relations depicting hydraulic characteristics of a discharge equal to the geometric mean of annual peak flows may, therefore, be considered to be generally representative of channel conditions existing during bankfull discharge. The relations have application for predicting channel response to developments that would alter streamflow.
