B.L. Neely
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4110
Techniques are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges and storm runoff on stream in urban areas of Memphis, Tennessee. Comprehensive analyses were made in which physical characteristics of streams are related to snythetic flood characteristics at gaging stations. Equations derived from analyses provide estimates of peak...

Extensive flooding of streams in Chautauqua County, N.Y., on August 7-8, 1979, after severe thunderstorms, resulted in one death and millions of dollars worth of property damage. Severe flooding was reported on Canadaway Creek in Fredonia, where the peak discharge was computed to be 12,000 cubic feet per second. The...
Availability and chemistry of ground water on the Bruneau Plateau and adjacent eastern plain in Twin Falls County, south-central Idaho
R. L. Moffatt, M.L. Jones
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4065
The Bruneau plateau in south-central Idaho consists of about 889 ,600 acres of potentially irrigable land. About 112,200 of these acres have been developed for agriculture; 11,200 acres are irrigated with ground water, and the remaining acreage is irrigated with water from the Snake and Bruneau rivers and Salmon Falls...

Flood-discharge profiles of selected streams in Rockland County, New York
Richard Lumia
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4049
Flood-discharge profiles of 10 streams in Rockland County at six recurrence intervals ranging from 2 to 100 years are presented. Synthetic flood-frequency estimates were derived for nine rainfall-runoff sites from calibrated models; observed flood-frequency estimates were derived for three sites having long-term discharge records. A variance-weighting technique was applied to...
Cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Alaska
R. D. Lamke
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4096
This report documents the results of a study of the cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Alaska. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 110 continuous stream-gaging stations that were being operated in September 1983 with a budget of about $1,700,000 per year.However, for the purposes of the...
An assessment of cumulative impacts of coal mining on the hydrology in part of the Powder River structural basin, Wyoming: A progress report
P. R. Jordan, R. M. Bloyd, P. B. Daddow
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4235
The U.S. Geological Survey and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality are involved in a cooperative effort to assess the probable cumulative impacts of coal mining on the hydrology of a part of the Powder River Structural Basin in Wyoming. It was assumed that the principal impacts on the ground-water...

1984, Circular 868
This report of accomplishments of the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska during 1981 contains summary and topical accounts of the results of studies on a wide range of topics of economic and scientific interest. In addition, many more detailed maps and reports are included in the lists of references cited...
Projected water-level declines in the Ogallala aquifer in Lea County, New Mexico
D. P. McAda
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4062
A two-dimensional digital ground-water flow model was constructed of the Ogallala aquifer in Lea County, New Mexico. Simulations of predevelopment steady-state and historical pumping conditions were used to fit the model. Projections of water-level declines were made based on the condition of no additional development and the condition of a...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Randolph County, Indiana
W.W. Lapham, L. D. Arihood
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4267
The two major aquifer systems in Randolph County, Indiana are sand and gravel and bedrock (limestone, dolomite, and shale of Silurian to Odovician age). The average thickness of the sands and gravels is 15 ft, and the aquifers are areally discontinuous. The bedrock aquifer underlies the entire study area and...
