Water resources activities, Georgia District, 1986
Carolyn A. Casteel, Mary D. Ballew
1987, Open-File Report 87-381
The U.S. Geological Survey, through its Water Resources Division , investigates the occurrence, quantity, quality, distribution, and movement of the surface and underground water that composes the Nation 's water resources. Much of the work is a cooperative effort in which planning and financial support are shared by state and...
Surface-water-quality assessment of the Yakima River basin, Washington: Project description
S. W. McKenzie, J. F. Rinella
1987, Open-File Report 87-238
In April 1986, the U.S. Geological Survey began the National Water Quality Assessment program to: (1) provide a nationally consistent description of the current status of water quality, (2) define water quality trends that have occurred over recent decades, and (3) relate past and present water quality conditions to relevant...
Regional study of the Castle Hayne Aquifer of eastern North Carolina
W.L. Lyke, R. W. Coble
1987, Open-File Report 87-571
The Castle Hayne aquifer is an eastward sloping and thickening wedge of limestone and sandstone, located in a 12,500 sq mi area in the eastern part of North Carolina. The Castle Hayne aquifer is the major source of freshwater for much of coastal North Carolina where the aquifers underlying the...
Comparison of estimates of evapotranspiration and consumptive use in Palo Verde Valley, California
Lee H. Raymond, Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4071
Estimates of evapotranspiration and consumptive use by vegetation in Palo Verde Valley, California, were compared for calendar years 1981 to 1984. Vegetation types were classified, and the areas covered by each type were computed from Landsat satellite digital-image analysis. Evapotranspiration was calculated by multiplying the area of each vegetation type...
COGEOMAP; a new era in cooperative geologic mapping
Juergen Reinhardt, David M. Miller
1987, Circular 1003
A program of cooperative geologic mapping was established between the U.S. Geological Survey and the State geological surveys in fiscal year 1985. The main purpose of the program is to increase general-purpose geologic mapping throughout the Nation. By combining State and Federal resources for geologic mapping through this cooperative program,...
Ground-water and soil contamination near two pesticide-burial sites in Minnesota
J. R. Stark, J.D. Strudell, P.A. Bloomgren, P. Eger
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4115
Preliminary investigations of the geology, groundwater hydrology , and soil and groundwater chemistry at sites in Pine and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, have shown that contamination associated with pesticides buried at the sites is not widespread or highly concentrated. None of the pesticides sampled for in soil and in groundwater...
Late Mississippian gastropods of the Chainman Shale, west-central Utah
Mackenzie Gordon Jr., Ellis L. Yochelson
1987, Professional Paper 1368
The Chainman Shale of Mississippian (Osagean to late Chesterian) age, well exposed in the Confusion Range of western Utah, has yielded a profusion of fossils during investigations conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in the past 30 years. Conspicuous among these fossils are gastropods, which range in age from latest...
Surface-water quality in Pequea Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1977-79
J. R. Ward
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4250
A study of the Pequea Creek basin was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Susquehanna River Basin Commission and the EPA from February 1977 through March 1979. Pequea Creek drains an intensive agricultural area of 154 sq mi in southeastern Pennsylvania, and enters the Susquehanna River...
Runoff characteristics and washoff loads from rainfall-simulation experiments on a street surface and a native pasture in the Denver metropolitan area, Colorado
Martha H. Mustard, Sherman R. Ellis, Johnnie W. Gibbs
1987, Professional Paper 1441
Rainfall simulation studies were conducted in conjunction with the Denver Regional Urban Runoff Program to: (1) Compare runoff quantity and quality from two different intensities of rainfall on impervious plots having identical antecedent conditions, (2) document a first flush of constituent loads in runoff from l,000-square-foot street-surface plots, (3) compare...
Traveltime and dispersion in the New River, Hinton to Gauley Bridge, West Virginia
David H. Appel, S. B. Moles
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4012
Traveltime and dispersion studies were conducted on a 65-mile-long reach of the New River between Hinton and Gauley Bridge, West Virginia. Four sets of measurements were made from August 1985 to May 1986 at river discharges of about 2,220, 3 ,200, 9,200, and 18,000 cu ft/sec, which correspond to flow...
