A quantitative method is described for testing whether model predictions fall within a specified factor of true values. The technique is based on classical theory for confidence regions on unknown population parameters and can be related to hypothesis testing in both univariate and multivariate situations. A capability index is defined that can be used as a measure of predictive capability of a model, and its properties are discussed. The testing approach and the capability index should facilitate model validation efforts and permit comparisons among competing models. An example is given for a pesticide leaching model that predicts chemical concentrations in the soil profile.

Federal resource managers increasingly need to balance energy demands, their effects on the natural and human landscape, and public perceptions towards these issues. The Western Energy Citation Clearinghouse (WECC v.1.0), part of a suite of data and information management tools developed and managed by the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI), provides resource managers with a searchable online database of citations that covers a broad spectrum of energy and landscape related topics relevant to resource managers, such as energy sources, natural and human landscape effects, and new research, methods and models. Based on the 2011 USGS Open-file Report \"Abbreviated bibliography on energy development\" (Montag, et al. 2011), WECC is an extensive collection of energy-related citations, as well as categorized lists of additional online resources related to oil and gas development, best practices, energy companies and Federal agencies. WECC incorporates the powerful web services of Sciencebase 2.0, the enterprise data and information platform for USGS scientists and partners, to provide secure, role-based data management features. For example, public/unauthenticated WECC users have full search and read access to the entire energy citation collection, while authenticated WLCI data stewards can manage WECC's citation collection using Sciencebase data management forms.","largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the American Geophysical Union, Tenth Annual Hydrology Days","conferenceTitle":"Proceedings of the American Geophysical Union, Tenth Annual Hydrology Days","conferenceDate":"1990-04-10T00:00:00","conferenceLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","language":"English","publisher":"Hydrology Days Publications","publisherLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","usgsCitation":"Milhous, R.T., 1990, The quantification of instream flow rights to water, 14 p.","productDescription":"14 p.","numberOfPages":"14","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":293742,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5412b9c1e4b0239f1986bb21","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Milhous, Robert T.","contributorId":28646,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Milhous","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500746,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70123797,"text":"70123797 - 1990 - Calibration of an effective habitat time series","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2014-09-09T10:40:04","indexId":"70123797","displayToPublicDate":"1990-04-12T10:40:01","publicationYear":"1990","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"title":"Calibration of an effective habitat time series","docAbstract":"No abstract available.","largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the American Geographical Union Tenth Annual Hydrology Days","conferenceTitle":"American Geographical Union Tenth Annual Hydrology Days","conferenceDate":"1990-04-10T00:00:00","conferenceLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","language":"English","publisher":"Hydrology Days Publications","publisherLocation":"Fort Collins, CO","usgsCitation":"Waddle, T., 1990, Calibration of an effective habitat time series, 10 p.","productDescription":"10 p.","numberOfPages":"10","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":293501,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"54101449e4b07ab1cd9808a2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Waddle, T.J.","contributorId":90240,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Waddle","given":"T.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":500286,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70185518,"text":"70185518 - 1990 - Effects of benthic flora on arsenic transport","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2017-03-23T09:22:49","indexId":"70185518","displayToPublicDate":"1990-03-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1990","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":2255,"text":"Journal of Environmental Engineering","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Effects of benthic flora on arsenic transport","docAbstract":"Chemical and biological interactions involving arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) appear to affect significantly As transport and distribution in Whitewood Creek, South Dakota. Data (first‐order uptake rate constants, standing crop, and accumulation factors) that can be used to predict As transport have been determined using algae collected in the creek along a transect from upstream of mine discharge down gradient through a 57‐km impacted reach. Cultures of Achnanthes minutissima (Bacillariophyceae) were isolated from four sites along a longitudinal gradient of dissolved As within the study reach and were maintained at ambient dissolved‐As concentrations. Arsenic sorption‐rate constants for cell surfaces of these isolates were estimated as a function of dissolved arsenate and orthophosphate. All isolates sorbed orthophosphate preferentially over arsenate. Initial sorption of both arsenate and orthophosphate appeared to follow a first‐order equation within media formulations but did not adequately describe other observed effects among formulations or between isolates. Although estimated sorption‐rate constants increased slightly with increased dissolved arsenate concentration, algae isolated from a site with elevated dissolved As had a significantly slower rate of As uptake compared with the same species isolated from an uncontaminated site upstream. Field and laboratory results indicate that the benthic flora represent a significant As pool, which may episodically affect water‐column concentrations.

Methods of addressing these problems are, respectively, the establishment of limits on minimum buffer radius, the estimation of contrasts, rank-based tests of association, and sub-sampling to prevent buffer overlap. Relations between the presence of purgeable organic compounds in ground water and land use are used to illustrate these problems and methods.

Results of the study demonstrated almost complete agreement between hydric soils and hydrophytic vegetation. However, agreement between nonhydric soils and nonhydric vegetation was not as high because most nonhydric soils lay adjacent to the wetland boundary. There was some evidence that various vegetation layers describe the hydrophytic nature of the vegetation differently than others. Herbaceous species seem to reflect current hydrologic conditions while trees may reflect past hydrologic conditions. Wetland indicator categories for some plants listed in the Fish and Wildlife Service national list of plant species that occur in wetlands may need to be reevaluated as additional data become available. Similarly, soils listed in the Soil Conservation Service hydric soils of the United States list should always be verified in the field prior to assigning them to a hydric category. While wetland hydrology is the critical factor determining wetlands, the use of soils and vegetation are frequently adequate for designating wetland conditions.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","usgsCitation":"Segelquist, C., Slauson, W., Scott, M.L., and Auble, G.T., 1990, Synthesis of soil-plant correspondence data from twelve wetland studies throughout the United States, 24 p.","productDescription":"24 p.","numberOfPages":"24","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":293813,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"54140b28e4b082fed288b97e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Segelquist, C.A.","contributorId":108410,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Segelquist","given":"C.A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501014,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Slauson, W.L.","contributorId":88284,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Slauson","given":"W.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":501013,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Scott, M.

This discussion is concerned principally with inorganic chemistry and geochemistry. However, biochemical processes in river and lake water influence their chemical composition extensively, and specific effects are pointed out. Aquatic biology is discussed in another chapter. The physical processes occurring in lakes also have very important effects on water chemistry; these aspects of limnology are covered more fully in a separate chapter.
Data on which this chapter is based relate mostly to waters of Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For most of Central America, very little water-quality information is available. Tables 1 through 3 contain analytical data for river waters that illustrate some of the principles discussed, and summarize major features of the chemical composition of North American surface waters.
To a certain extent, at least, one would expect the average concentrations of dissolved elements in surface fresh water to reflect the relative abundance of the elements in the crustal rocks exposed at and near the land surface.

Chloride/bromide solute ratios, which are thought to be unaffected by mineral precipitation or sorption, average 160 in saline lakes and springs, close to an average for the High Plains aquifer (140), and are significantly different from the average deep-basin brines (680). Solute ratios of sodium/potassium, chloride/sulfate, and sulfur isotopes, although not conservative, also strongly support the hypothesis that solutes in the lakes were derived from shallow ground water from the High Plains aquifer and from overland runoff rather than from deep-basin brines.

Aerial photographs, historical data, and field observations are used to document the history of channel change since 1936. Variability in the nature and degree of channel change over time and space is shown. Three major channel change processes are: (1) migration by bank erosion during meander migration or initiation; (2) avulsion by overbank flooding and flood plain incision; (3) widening by erosion of low, cohesionless banks during floods and arroyo widening by undercutting and mass wasting of deeply incised vertical walls. The first process generally is a product of low to moderate flows or waning high flows; the others result mainly from higher flows, though sensitive arroyo walls may erode during relatively low flows. Channel morphology, bank resistance, and hydrology are factors determining the dominant channel-changing process on a particular reach of the river. Present river morphology reflects high flows since the 1960's.","largerWorkTitle":"Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands","conferenceTitle":"Proceedings of the International Symposium on Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands and 1990 National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering","conferenceDate":"30 July 1990 through 2 August 1990","conferenceLocation":"San Diego, CA, USA","language":"English","publisher":"Publ by ASCE","publisherLocation":"Boston, MA, United States","isbn":"0872627713","usgsCitation":"Parker, J.T., 1990, Channel-changing processes on the Santa Cruz River, Pima County, Arizona, 1936-86, in Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands, San Diego, CA, USA, 30 July 1990 through 2 August 1990, p. 441-446.","startPage":"441","endPage":"446","numberOfPages":"6","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":223022,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5059f45de4b0c8380cd4bcb4","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"French Richard H.","contributorId":128450,"corporation":true,"usgs":false,"organization":"French Richard H.","id":536330,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1}],"authors":[{"text":"Parker, John T.C.","contributorId":18766,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Parker","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"T.C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":373548,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70176059,"text":"70176059 - 1990 - Compilation of hydrologic data for the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas, 1989, with 1934-89 summary","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2016-08-24T11:48:50","indexId":"70176059","displayToPublicDate":"1990-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1990","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":2,"text":"State or Local Government Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":5177,"text":"Edwards Underground Water District Bulletin","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":2}},"seriesNumber":"49","title":"Compilation of hydrologic data for the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas, 1989, with 1934-89 summary","docAbstract":"No abstract available.

During operation, many types of wastes, including coal, tar, and oil, accumulated on-site. The park soil is currently (1986) contaminated with compounds such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, trace metals, and cyanide. Analyses of water samples from a network of observation wells in the park indicate that these compounds are also present in the ground water.
\nPolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds were identified in ground water samples in concentrations as large as 200 mg/L. Concentrations of organic compounds were largest where ground water was in contact with a non-aqueous phase liquid in the soil. Where no non-aqueous phase liquid was present, concentrations were much smaller, even if the ground water was in contact with contaminated soils. This condition is attributed to weathering processes in which soluble, low-molecular-weight organic compounds are preferentially dissolved from the non-aqueous phase liquid into the ground water. Where no non-aqueous phase liquid is present, only stained soils containing relatively insoluble, high-molecular-weight compounds remain. Concentrations of organic contaminants in the soils may still remain large.

Naturally occurring, recurrent events such as floods, windstorms, tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires have tested human-engineered works many times and have often found them unable to withstand the forces generated by the event. In the past 20 years, for example, events like these throughout the world have claimed more than 2.8 million lives and adversely affected 820 million people; single disasters have caused economic losses of billions of dollars. Industrialized countries like the United States and Japan have been able to absorb the socioeconomic losses of past natural disasters, but the economics of many developing countries have been devastated by losses equal to a large percentage of their gross national product. Furthermore, the magnitude of the losses is increasing at a rapid rate as the building wealth of nations is expanded to meet the needs of rapidly increasing population, often without adequate consideration of the potential threat posed by the recurrent natural hazards and without implementing effective loss-reduction measures because of lack of knowledge or lack of technical capability.

The adsorption of benzene, toluene, and o-xylene as vapors by the dry TMA-clays and as solutes from water by the wet TMA-clays was studied. The adsorption of the organic vapors by the dry TMA-smectite samples was strong and apparently consisted of interactions with both the aluminosilicate mineral surfaces and the TMA exchange ions in the interlayers. In the adsorption of organic vapors, the closer packing of TMA ions in the dry high-charge TMA-smectite, compared with the dry low-charge TMA-smectite, resulted in a somewhat higher degree of shape-selective adsorption of benzene, toluene, and xylene. In the presence of water, the adsorption capacities of both samples for the aromatic compounds were significantly reduced, although the uptake of benzene from water by the low-charge TMA-smectite was still substantial. This lower sorption capacity was accompanied by increased shape-selectivity for the aromatic compounds. The reduction in uptake and increased selectivity was much more pronounced for the water-saturated, high-charge TMA-smectite than for the low-charge TMA-smectite. Hydration of the TMA exchange ions and/or the mineral surfaces apparently reduced the accessibility of the aromatic molecules to interlamellar regions. The resulting water-induced sieving effect was greater for the high-charge TMA-smectite due to the higher density of exchanged TMA-ions. The low-charge Wyoming TMA-smectite was a highly effective adsorbent for removing benzene from water and may be useful for purifying benzene-contaminated water.

However, relatively little is known about the applicability of this phenomenon within the heterogeneous rocks of currently active geothermal systems where primary porosity may control fluid flow in some places and fractures may control it in others. The main appeal of double-diffusive convection within hydrothermal systems is-that it is a mechanism that may allow efficient transfer of heat mainly by convection, while at the same time maintaining vertical and lateral salinity gradients.
The Salton Sea geothermal system exhibits the following reservoir characteristics: (1) decreasing salinity and temperature from bottom to top and center toward the sides, (2) a very high heat flow from the top of the system that seems to require a major component of convective transfer of heat within the chemically stratified main reservoir, and (3) a relatively uniform density of the reservoir fluid throughout the system at all combinations of subsurface temperature, pressure, and salinity. Double-diffusive convection can account for these characteristics very nicely whereas other previously suggested models appear to account either for the thermal structure or for the salinity variations, but not both. Hydrologists, reservoir engineers, and particularly geochemists should consider the possibility and consequences of double-diffusive convection when formulating models of hydrothermal processes, and of the response of reservoirs to testing and production.
