Calibration of a texture-based model of a ground-water flow system, western San Joaquin Valley, California
S.P. Phillips, K.R. Belitz
1990, Open-File Report 90-573
The occurrence of selenium in agricultural drain water from the western San Joaquin Valley, California, has focused concern on the semiconfined ground-water flow system, which is underlain by the Corcoran Clay Member of the Tulare Formation. A two-step procedure is used to calibrate a preliminary model of the system for...

1990, Open-File Report 90-378
A survey of literature on well installation and water-quality sampling, particularly as they relate to investigations of ground-water contamination by organic compounds, has been conducted. Library card files and computerized data bases were searched to identify journal articles, conference proceedings, technical reports, books, and other publications. Pertinent information has been...
Water-resources programs and hydrologic-information needs, Marion County, Indiana, 1987
R.F. Duwelius
1990, Open-File Report 90-159
Water resources are abundant in Marion County, Indiana, and have been developed for public and industrial supply, energy generation, irrigation, and recreation. The largest water withdrawals are from surface water, and the two largest water uses are public supply and cooling water for electrical-generating plants. Water-resources programs in the county...

Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey reports on the water resources of Florida, 1886-1989
T.L. Embry, N.D. Hoy
1990, Open-File Report 90-143
The U.S. Geological Survey has released a listing of its reports on water resources in Florida for the period 1886-1989. Most of the reports contained in the listing were prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with numerous public agencies in Florida. The compilation has a full bibliographic list...
Solid-precipitation (snowfall) measurement intercomparison, Bismarck, North Dakota
Douglas G. Emerson, Kathleen M. Macek-Rowland
1990, Open-File Report 90-124
Difficulties involved in obtaining accurate measurements of solid precipitation (snowfall) have been recognized for many years. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the accuracy and performance of precipitation gages. These studies show that the type of collection method used can significantly affect the quantity of precipitation measured. Although the...

1990, Open-File Report 90-135
Sorption experiments and a numerical model were used to assess the effects of irrigation and drainage on the depth distribution of selenite and selenate in soils from the western San Joaquin Valley, California. The sorption studies show that selenate (15 to 12,400 micrograms per liter of selenium) is not adsorbed...
