Dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate of surface-water runoff in the Northwest Florida Water Management District
J.E. Earle
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-16
This atlas consists of three maps that show the general distribution of dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate in the streams and lakes within the Northwest Florida Water Management District. The atlas was prepared in cooperation with the Water Management District to provide pertinent water-quality information relating to the objectives of...
Preliminary digital model of ground-water flow in the Madison Group, Powder River Basin and adjacent areas, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska
Leonard F. Konikow
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-63
A digital simulation model was used to analyze regional ground-water flow in the Madison Group aquifer in the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming and adjacent areas. Most recharge to the aquifer originates in or near the outcrop areas of the Madison in the Bighorn Mountains and Black Hills,...
Preliminary report on water availability in the lower Ship Creek basin, Anchorage, Alaska : with special reference to the fish hatchery on Fort Richardson and a proposed fish-hatchery site near the Elmendorf Air Force base power-plant
Geoffrey W. Freethey
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-48
The availability of surface water and shallow ground water in the lower Ship Creek basin, Anchorage, Alaska, was examined using 28 years of streamflow records and well logs. Streamflow gains and losses were estimated from 23 seepage investigations made since May 1957. A contour map of the top of the...
Measurement and prediction of sediment yields in Wisconsin streams
S. M. Hindall
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-54
Sediment data of some form have been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 118 stream-gaging sites throughout Wisconsin, beginning in 1935. The average concentration of suspended sediment for Wisconsin streams is low in comparison with that of many streams in the United States—110 milligrams per litre for Wisconsin, as...
Annotated bibliography of the lakes, ponds, and reservoirs of New York State through 1974 (exclusive of lakes Erie and Ontario)
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-55
More than 1,200 titles and abstracts of limnological studies of ponds, reservoirs, and lakes (excluding Lakes Erie and Ontario) are compiled in one volume. Publications cited date from the late 19th century through 1974. Titles and abstracts are presented alphabetically by author's name; cross indexes of coauthors, locations, and subjects...
Water-resources data for deep aquifers of eastern Montana
W.B. Hopkins
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-40
Water from aquifers of Mesozoic and Paleozoic age in eastern Montana is little used. This report presents maps and tables to assist in the evaluation of the water in terms of possible utility. In the southern third of eastern Montana water from the Madison Group or from the Tensleep Sandstone...
Mathematical model of the West Bolsa Ground-water Basin, San Benito County, California
Robert E. Faye
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-71
Simulation of the West Bolsa ground-water basin hydrology in California had provided values of basin recharge and discharge and nodally distributed values of transmissivity and storage coefficient. Average net recharge from April 1945 to March 1969 was 6.2 cubic feet per second and occurred as subsurace recharge and infiltration of...
Geohydrology of the Oklahoma Panhandle, Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas Counties
D.L. Hart, G. L. Hoffman, Robert L. Goemaat
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-25
The Ogallala aquifer, which consists of semiconsolidated clay, sand, and gravel, is the principal source of ground water in the Oklahoma Panhandle. This aquifer commonly yields 500 to 1,000 gallons per minute (32 to 63 litres per second) and may yield as much as 2,500 gallons per minute (158 litres...
A model for calculating effects of liquid waste disposal in deep saline aquifer
Inc. Intercomp Resource Development and Engineering
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-61
Injection of liquid industrial wastes into confined underground saline aquifers can offer a good disposal alternative from both environmental and economic considerations. One of the needs in choosing from among several disposal alternatives is a means of evaluating the influence such an injection will have on the aquifer system. This...
Sediment discharge from an area of highway construction, Applemans Run basin, Columbia County, Pennsylvania
David A. Eckhardt
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-111
The effects of highway construction on stream sediment loads were studied in Applemans Run basin, Columbia County, Pa., from October 1971 to May 1974. During the investigations, about 5,200 tons of suspended-sediment were discharged from the basin. Of this amount, about 2,700 tons, or about half the total sediment discharge,...

Water resources of the Myakka River basin area, southwest Florida
Boyd F. Joyner, Horace Sutcliffe Jr.
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-58
Ground water in the Myakka River basin area of southwest Floria is obtained from a water-table aquifer and from five zones in an artesian aquifer. Wells in the water-table aquifer yield generally less than 50 gpm and dissolved solids concentration is less than 500 mg/liter except in coastal areas and...
Historic water-level changes and pumpage from the principal aquifers of the Memphis area, Tennessee: 1886-1975
James H. Criner, William Scott Parks
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-67
The Memphis Sand ("500-foot" sand) supplies about 95 percent of the water used in the Memphis area for municipal and industrial purposes. In general, pumpage has increased at an irregular rate since the completion of the first well to this aquifer in 1886. These withdrawals are responsible for an almost...
Techniques for estimating flow characteristics of Wyoming streams
H. W. Lowham
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-112
This report presents relations for estimating peak flows and mean annual flow characteristics are: (1) The Channel-geometry method, whereby flow characteristics are related to channel dimensions; and (2) the basin-characteristics method, whereby flow characteristics are related to physiographic and climatic features of the drainage basin. Development of the channel-geometry method...
Water-quality investigation, Salinas River, California
George A. Irwin
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-110
Concentrations of dissolved solids in the Salinas River are variable and range from 164 to 494 milligrams per liter near Bradley and from 170 to 1,090 milligrams per liter near Spreckels. Higher concentrations near Spreckels are caused mainly by sewage inflow about 150 feet (50 meters) upstream. Concentrations of nitrogen,...
