Water resources of Brookings and Kingsbury counties, South Dakota
L.J. Hamilton
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4185
Surface water and groundwater resources are widely distributed in Brookings and Kingsbury Counties, an area of nearly 1,700 sq mi of glaciated plains of the Coteau des Prairies plateau in eastern South Dakota. The resources are relatively undeveloped except for large withdrawals for irrigation from shallow glacial aquifers. Groundwater withdrawals...
A numerical solution for the diffusion equation in hydrogeologic systems
A. L. Ishii, R. W. Healy, Robert G. Striegl
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4027
The documentation of a computer code for the numerical solution of the linear diffusion equation in one or two dimensions in Cartesian or cylindrical coordinates is presented. Applications of the program include molecular diffusion, heat conduction, and fluid flow in confined systems. The flow media may be anisotropic and heterogeneous....

Preliminary analysis for trends in selected water-quality characteristics, Powder River, Montana and Wyoming, water years 1952-85
L. E. Cary
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4050
Selected water-quality data from two streamflow-gaging stations on the Powder River, Montana and Wyoming, were statistically analyzed for trends using the seasonal Kendall test. Data for water years 1952-63 and 1975-85 from the Powder River near Locate, Montana, and water years 1967-68 and 1976-85 from the Powder River at Sussex,...

Geohydrology and susceptibility of major aquifers to surface contamination in Alabama; area 11
R.D. Castleberry, R. S. Moreland, J. C. Scott
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4107
This report delineates and describes the geohydrology and susceptibility of major aquifers to contamination in Butler, Conecuh, Covington, Crenshaw, Escambia, and Monroe Counties, Alabama. The major aquifers are the Pliocene-Miocene, Upper Floridan, Lisbon, Nanafalia-Clayton, and Providence-Ripley. The largest pumping centers in the area are Andalusia and Monroeville, where groundwater use...
Geohydrology of the alluvial and terrace deposits of the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake, central Oklahoma
J.S. Havens
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4234
This investigation was undertaken to describe the geohydrology of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River between Lake Overholser and Eufaula Lake, an area of about 1,835 square miles, and to determine the maximum annual yield of ground water. A 1982 water-level map of the alluvial and terrace...
Sources and concentrations of dissolved solids and selenium in the San Joaquin River and its tributaries, California, October 1985 to March 1987
D.G. Clifton, R. J. Gilliom
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4217
Sources and concentrations of dissolved solids and selenium in the San Joaquin River and its tributaries, California, were assessed by a mass-balance approach to determine the effects of tile-drain water and irrigation-return flows on the river. The study included low-flow periods from October 1985 to mid-February 1986 and mid-May 1986...

Trend analysis of Lake Parker stage and relation to various hydrologic factors, 1950-86, Lakeland, Florida
S.E. Henderson, M. A. Lopez
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4037
Kendall tau test and regression analysis were used to determine if statistically significant long-term trends exist for Lake Parker, Florida stage data or for four other area lakes, four groundwater sites, four rainfall sites, Lakeland public-supply pumpage, and pan evaporation. A 10% significance level was used for criterion of an...

Measurement of reaeration coefficients for selected Florida streams
P. S. Hampson, J.E. Coffin
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4020
A total of 29 separate reaeration coefficient determinations were performed on 27 subreaches of 12 selected Florida streams between October 1981 and May 1985. Measurements performed prior to June 1984 were made using the peak and area methods with ethylene and propane as the tracer gases. Later measurements utilized the...

Geochemistry of artificial-recharge tests in the Oakes aquifer near Oakes, southeastern North Dakota
G. F. Huff, J. D. Wald
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4122
As part of an artificial-recharge feasibility study, water from the James River was introduced into the Oakes aquifer of southeastern North Dakota by infiltration through a recharge basin. Chemical composition of water in the recharge basin and ground water from two separate flow paths beneath the basin was determined from...
Tritium concentrations in flow from selected springs that discharge to the Snake River, Twin Falls-Hagerman area, Idaho
L. J. Mann
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4156
Concern has been expressed that some of the approximately 30,900 curies of tritium disposed to the Snake River Plain aquifer from 1952 to 1988 at the INEL (Idaho National Engineering Laboratory) have migrated to springs discharging to the Snake River in the Twin Falls-Hagerman area. To document tritium concentrations in...
Hydrogeology and ground-water-quality conditions at the Geary County landfill, northeast Kansas, 1988
