Peter W. Bush
1983, Water Supply Paper 2210
An experimental connector well, screened in the shallow sand aquifer, finished with open hole in the Floridan aquifer and cased through the confining layer between the two aquifers, was drilled in east Orange County, Fla., to obtain information on the nature and function of the shallow aquifer as related to...
Daily water and sediment discharges from selected rivers of the eastern United States; a time-series modeling approach
Michael G. Fitzgerald, Michael R. Karlinger
1983, Water Supply Paper 2216
Time-series models were constructed for analysis of daily runoff and sediment discharge data from selected rivers of the Eastern United States. Logarithmic transformation and first-order differencing of the data sets were necessary to produce second-order, stationary time series and remove seasonal trends. Cyclic models accounted for less than 42 percent...

Flood characteristics of urban watersheds in the United States
Vernon B. Sauer, W.O. Thomas Jr., V.A. Stricker, K. V. Wilson
1983, Water Supply Paper 2207
A nationwide study of flood magnitude and frequency in urban areas was made for the purpose of reviewing available literature, compiling an urban flood data base, and developing methods of estimating urban floodflow characteristics in ungaged areas. The literature review contains synopses of 128 recent publications related to urban floodflow....
Estimating peak discharges of small, rural streams in Massachusetts
S. William Wandle
1983, Water Supply Paper 2214
Floodflows on natural-flow streams in Massachusetts with drainage areas between 0.25 square miles and 260 square miles may be estimated from drainage area, main-channel slope, mean basin elevation, and the area of swamps, lakes, and ponds. Multiple-regression techniques were used to define the relationship between a suite of basin and...

An evaluation of trends in the acidity of precipitation and the related acidification of surface water in North America
John T. Turk
1983, Water Supply Paper 2249
The acidity of precipitation in the Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada has increased in the past, probably as a result of anthropogenic emissions. The increase in New England and New York occurred primarily before the mid-1950's. Since the mid1960's, there has been no significant change in the acidity of...
Estimation of nonpoint source loadings of phosphorus for lakes in the Puget Sound region, Washington
Robert J. Gilliom
1983, Water Supply Paper 2240
Control of eutrophication of lakes in watersheds undergoing development is facilitated by estimates of the amounts of phosphorus (P) that reach the lakes from areas under various types of land use. Using a mass-balance model, the author calculated P loadings from present-day P concentrations measured in lake water and from...
Regional flow in the Dakota aquifer: A study of the role of confining layers
John D. Bredehoeft, C. E. Neuzil, P. C. Milly
1983, Water Supply Paper 2237
The Dakota Sandstone in South Dakota is one of the classic artesian aquifers; it was first studied by N. H. Darton at the turn of the century. Since then, hydrogeologists have debated the source of the large quantities of water which have been discharged by artesian flow from the Dakota....

1983, Water Data Report HI-82-2
Volume 2 of water resources data for the 1982 water year for other Pacific areas consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and springs; stage of a lake and a reservoir; and water levels and water quality in wells. This report contains discharge records for 43...
Analysis and computer simulation of stream-aquifer hydrology, Arkansas River Valley, southwestern Kansas
R.A. Barker, C. G. Sauer, L. E. Dunlap
1983, Water Supply Paper 2200
A study was made, in cooperation with the Division of Water Resources, Kansas State Board of Agriculture, to determine geohydrologic conditions underlying nearly 110,000 acres of the Arkansas River Valley between the Colorado-Kansas State line and the Bear Creek Fault zone in southwestern Kansas. The Arkansas River meanders atop and...
Guide to North Dakota's ground-water resources
Q.F. Paulson
1983, Water Supply Paper 2236
Ground water, the water we pump from the Earth through wells or that which flows naturally from springs, is one of North Dakota's most valuable resources. More than 60 percent of the people living in the State use ground water for one purpose of another. It is the only source...

Acoustic systems for the measurement of streamflow
Antonius Laenen, Winchell Smith
1983, Water Supply Paper 2213
The acoustic velocity meter (AVM), also referred to as an ultrasonic flowmeter, has been an operational tool for the measurement of streamflow since 1965. Very little information is available concerning AVM operation, performance, and limitations. The purpose of this report is to consolidate information in such a manner as to...
Comparative anatomy of epithermal precious- and base-metal districts hosted by volcanic rocks: A talk presented at the GAC/MSC/GGU Joint Annual Meeting, May 11-13, 1983, Victoria, British Columbia

1983, Open-File Report 83-710
In order to distinguish dissimilar from similar features of epithermal districts, lithotectonic, mineralogical and geochemical traits are compiled for 15 such districts. The districts occur in structurally complex settings associated with silicic to intermediate volcanics. Affiliation with subduction environments on a continental scale and caldera settings on a regional scale...
