Estimated public-water supply and industrial-commercial ground-water withdrawals and returns in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, 1973-79
D. S. Snavely, J. F. Williams
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4246
Nassau County, New York depends upon ground water for its freshwater supply. The primary water uses are for public-water supply and industrial-commercial purposes, which together accounted for 202 Mgal/d (million gallons per day) in 1975. Public-water suppliers withdrew 85 percent of their water from the Magothy Formation. About 133 Mgal/d...

Reported withdrawals and estimated use of water in Oklahoma during 1982
J.D. Stoner
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4084
Reported water withdrawals in Oklahoma during 1982 were 1,270.64 million gallons per day. The withdrawals were about equally distributed between ground water and surface water with 46 percent being ground water and 54 percent being surface water. In general, the western counties rely on ground water and the eastern counties...

Phase I summary and phase II plan for comparing regulated with unregulated streamflow in the Yakima River at Union Gap, Washington
C.H. Swift
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4015
A preliminary investigation of the effects of reservoir storage and canal diversion on the flow of the Yakima River at Union Gap , Washington indicates that those effects are measurable and substantial--on the average causing a reduction of roughly one-quarter from the unregulated flow. Preliminary computations of the unregulated flow...
Chemical and biological quality of selected lakes in Ohio, 1978 and 1979
C.G. Angelo, John D. Youger
1985, Open-File Report 84-249
Twenty-eight Ohio lakes were sampled by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for water-quality characteristics during the spring and summer of 1978 and 1979. This report is the third in a series covering a lake-sampling program that began in 1975. Data include water-column profiles of temperature,...

Frequency and duration of flooding of Grove Creek near Kenansville, North Carolina, for present and proposed restored channel conditions
T. C. Stamey
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4298
The Grove Creek basin includes an area of about 42 square miles in Duplin County, southeastern North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Human Resources (DHR) proposes to implement a channel restoration project on about an eight-mile reach of Grove Creek. The purpose of the restoration program is to improve...

Hydrologic data in small watersheds, coal-mining region, west-central Indiana, October 1980 to June 1983, and instrumentation and methods of collecting the data
D.E. Renn, R.F. Duwelius, C.R. Keeton, J.W. Tyler Jr.
1985, Open-File Report 85-402
Hydrologic data were collected in seven watersheds ranging in area from 0.11 to 4.87 square miles. Principal uses of land include farming in two of the watersheds, farming and forestry in one, farming and unreclaimed surface coal mines in one, reclaimed surface coal mines in two, and an unreclaimed surface...
Water resources data, Missouri, water year 1984

1985, Water Data Report MO-84-1
Water resources data for the 1984 water year for Missouri consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; contains records for water discharge at 112 gaging stations; stage and contents at 9 lakes and reservoirs; water quality at 71 sampling stations (including 1 lake) and...
Hydrology of the southern parts of Okaloosa and Walton Counties, northwest Florida, with special emphasis on the upper limestone of the Floridan aquifer
D. E. Barr, L. R. Hayes, Thomas Kwader
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4305
Increasing population in southern Okaloosa and Walton Counties have resulted in regional declines in the potentiometric surface of the upper limestone of the Floridan aquifer. Water levels have declined as much as 160 feet since 1940, and during peak seasonal demand as much as 190 feet. The Pensacola clay confining...
Altitude of water table, surficial aquifer, Palm Beach County, Florida, April 24-26, 1984
Wesley L. Miller
1985, Open-File Report 85-336
Water levels in Palm Beach County, Florida, were measured in April 1984 to determine the altitude of the water table in the surficial aquifer. A total of 104 wells and 50 surface-water measurement sites were used to contour the altitude of the water table at 2 and 4-foot intervals. The...
Calculating sediment discharge from a highway construction site in central Pennsylvania
L.A. Reed, J. R. Ward, K. L. Wetzel
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4216
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and the U.S. Geological Survey have cooperated in a study to evaluate two methods of predicting sediment yields during highway construction. Sediment yields were calculated using the Universal Soil Loss and the Younkin Sediment Prediction Equations. Results...
