Seismotectonic map of the Puget Sound region, Washington
H. D. Gower, J. C. Yount, R. S. Crosson
1985, IMAP 1613
The Puget Sound region is a seismically active area with hundreds of earthquakes occurring each year (Crosson, 1974, 1975, Crosson and Millard, 1975, Crosson and Noson, 1978a, 1978b, 1979). Most of the earthquakes are so small that they can be detected only by sensitive seismographs such as those operated by...
Estimation of selected flow and water-quality characteristics of Alaskan streams
Bruce Parks, R. J. Madison
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4247
Although hydrologic data are either sparse or nonexistent for large areas of Alaska, the drainage area, area of lakes, glacier and forest cover, and average precipitation in a hydrologic basin of interest can be measured or estimated from existing maps. Application of multiple linear regression techniques indicates that statistically significant...
Hydrogeology, water quality, and ground-water development alternatives in the Beaver-Pasquiset ground-water reservoir, Rhode Island
D.C. Dickerman, M.M. Ozbilgin
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4190
In a 23 sq mi study area, the Beaver-Pasquiset groundwater reservoir within the Pawcatuck River basin in southern Rhode Island, stratified drift is the only principal geologic unit capable of producing yields > 350 gal/min. Transmissivity of the aquifer ranges from 7,200 to 24,300 sq ft/day. Water table conditions prevail...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Eastern brown pelican
Terrence M. Hingtgen, Rosemarie Mulholland, Alexander V. Zale
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.90
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a habitat model for the eastern brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis carolinensis). The model is scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) and 1.0 (optimal habitat) for coastal areas within the eastern brown pelican's breeding...
Water Resources Division in the 1980's : a summary of activities and programs of the U.S. Geological Survey's Water Resources Division
Edith B. Chase, John E. Moore, David A. Rickert
1985, Circular 893
The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has the principal responsibility within the Federal government for providing hydrologic information and appraising the Nation's water resounds. The Geological Survey is unique among government organizations because it has neither regulatory nor developmental authority--its sole product is information that is made...
Hydrologic description of the Tamarack Wildlife area and vicinity, Logan County, Colorado, and simulated effects of possible water-management activities
A.W. Burns
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4014
The stream-aquifer system of the Tamarack Wildlife Area and vicinity in Logan County, Colorado, is described using analyses of water level, water temperature, and specific conductance data. Correlation analysis indicated that water levels in the flood plain relate better to those in the river than those in the upgradient valley...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Blue-winged teal (breeding)
Patrick J. Sousa
1985, FWS/OBS 82/10.114
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the blue-winged teal (Anas discors). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
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...
Methods for determination of inorganic substances in water and fluvial sediments
Marvin J. Fishman, Linda C. Friedman, editor(s)
1985, Open-File Report 85-495
Chapter Al of the laboratory manual contains methods used by the Geological Survey to analyze samples of water, suspended sediments, and bottom material for their content of inorganic constituents. Included are methods for determining the concentration of dissolved constituents in water, total recoverable and total of constituents in water-suspended sediment...
Estimation of evaporation from Ned Wilson Lake, Flat Tops Wilderness Area, Colorado
N.E. Spahr, J.T. Turk
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4244
As part of an effort to define the hydrology and water quality of Ned Wilson Lake, evaporation rates were estimated for the summer periods of 1983 and 1984. Mass-transfer and energy-budget techniques and the Morton model were used to estimate evaporation using data collected at the lake and data collected...
Hydrology of Area 52, Rocky Mountain coal province, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah
H. W. Lowham, D. A. Peterson, L. R. Larson, E. A. Zimmerman, B. H. Ringen, K. L. Mora
1985, Open-File Report 83-761
This report is one of a series designed to characterize the hydrology of drainage basins within coal provinces, nationwide. Area 52 (in the Rocky Mountain Coal Province) includes the Green River Basin upstream from the Yampa River, and the Bear River upstream from the Bear Lake - a total of...
Federal-State Cooperative Program in Kansas, seminar proceedings, July 1985
T.L. Huntzinger
1985, Open-File Report 85-641
During the past few years, water-resource management in Kansas has undergone reorientation with the creation of the Kansas Water Authority and the Kansas Water office. New thrusts toward long-term goals based on the Kansas State Water plan demand strong communication and coordination between all water-related agencies within the State. The...
Map showing abundance and distribution of chromium in stream-sediment samples, Medford 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, Oregon-California
Charles L. Whittington, David J. Grimes, Reinhard W. Leinz
1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1383-I
The Medford quadrangle is located in mountainous southwestern Oregon adjacent to the California border and a short distance east of the Pacific coast. Various parts of this area lie in different geologic provinces. Most of the western half of the quadrangle is underlain by pre-Tertiary rocks of the Klamath Mountains...
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...
