R. L. Knutilla, M. A. Corral
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4222
Construction of the Tampa Bypass Canal, Florida has resulted in an increase in streamflow from the canal area. Base-flow discharge is more than twice preconstruction amounts. Discharge from springs has decreased by one half or more. Ground-water levels show an increase of up to 4 feet near structure S-160 due...

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4260
Equations in this report can be used to estimate mean annual runoff and peak discharges for 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year recurrence intervals for ungaged streams in drainage basins containing strippable coal resources in northwestern New Mexico. These streamflow characteristics are related to basin characteristics that were found to...
Hydrogeology of well-field areas near Tampa, Florida, phase 2 — Development and documentation of a quasi-three-dimensional finite-difference model for simulation of steady-state ground-water flow
C. B. Hutchinson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4002
This report describes a quasi-three-dimensional finite-difference model for simulation of steady-state ground-water flow in the Floridan aquifer over a 932-square-mile area that contains 10 municipal well fields. The over-lying surficial aquifer contains a water table and is coupled to the Floridan aquifer by leakage term that represents flow through 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...
Evaluation of the potential for artificial ground-water recharge in eastern San Joaquin County, California — Phase 2
R. L. Ireland
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4207
In response to the increasing demand on water supplies and declining water levels in eastern San Joaquin County, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, is evaluating the potential for artificially recharging the aquifer system in eastern San Joaquin County,...
Effects of surface coal-mine reclamation on stream quality in a small watershed near Nelsonville, southeastern Ohio
S. M. Hindall
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4179
Abandoned surface coal mines in southeastern Ohio have caused degradation of the area's water resources. A study began in 1981 to determine the effects of abandoned-mine reclamation on water quality in the 'Yost tract' near Nelsonville, Ohio. Data on streamflow, water quality, and sedimentation were collected in Yost Run before,...

The ground-water resources in the Ross Barnett Reservoir area, Mississippi
W. T. Oakley
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4160
The Ross Barnett Reservoir area occupies about 78 sq mi of a 490 sq mi study area northeast of the City of Jackson, MS. For several years, water use in the area has increased and during 1983 about 0.57 mil gal/day were obtained from groundwater sources. Virtually all groundwater in...
Low-flow transport models for conservative and sorbed solutes — Uvas Creek, near Morgan Hill, California
A. P. Jackman, R. A. Walters, V. C. Kennedy
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4041
Models describing low-flow transport of conservative (nonreactive) and reactive solutes, which adsorb on the streambed, are developed and tested. Temporary storage within the bed plays an important role in solute movement. Three different models of bed-storage processes are developed for conservative solutes. One model assumes the bed is a well-mixed,...
