1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4134
Fourteen test wells drilled in the Fairview area, Tennessee, produce from 3 to 100 gallons per minute and have an average yield of 32 gallons per minute, measured while blowing water from the wells with compressed air. In comparison, the average yield of supply wells reported by drillers is 13...
Geochemical maps of Bunk Robinson Peak and Whitmire Canyon Roadless Areas, Hidalgo County, New Mexico, and Cochise County, Arizona
Kenneth C. Watts, Jerry R. Hassemer, Gordon W. Day
1983, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1425-C
Geochemical sampling of the Bunk Robinson Peak and Whitmire Canyon Roadless Areas was completed in the spring of 1980. The purpose of the geochemical sampling was to determine if certain metals, and "pathfinder" elements in heavy-mineral concentrates and stream sediments are enriched beyond normal black-ground amounts. The enrighment of elemental...
Automatic dilution gaging of rapidly varying flow
M.D. Duerk
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4088
It is often difficult to obtain discharge ratings at urban gaging stations. This report presents the results of using an automated constant-rate dyedilution technique to measure discharge at two sites in Madison, Wisconsin. The sites selected have well-defined stage-discharge ratings, developed during previous hydrologic studies. One site has a 60-inch...
Habitat Suitability Information: Blacknose dace
Joan G. Trial, Jon G. Stanley, Mary Batcheller, Gary Gebhart, O. Eugene Maughan, Patrick C. Nelson
1983, FWS/OBS 82/10.41
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop riverine and lacustrine habitat models for Blacknose dace, a freshwater species. The models are scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1 (optimally suitable habitat) for freshwater, marine, and estuarine areas of the...
Evidence of floods on the Potomac River from anatomical abnormalities in the wood of flood-plain trees
Thomas M. Yanosky
1983, Professional Paper 1296
Ash trees along the Potomac River flood plain near Washington, D.C., were studied to determine changes in wood anatomy related to flood damage, and anomalous growth was compared to flood records for April 15 to August 31, 1930-79. Collectively, anatomical evidence was detected for 33 of the 34 growing-season floods...

H.C. Rollins, F.C. Sedberry, E.G. Ming, I.A. Giles
1983, Water Data Report AL-82-1
Water resources data for the 1982 water year for Alabama consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels in wells. This report contains discharge records for 85 gaging stations; stage only for 16 gaging stations, stage and...
A preliminary assessment of the hydrologic characteristics of the James River in South Dakota
R.D. Benson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4077
The James River in South Dakota has very restricted channel capacities within the Lake Dakota Plain. Channel capacities in Brown County are as little as 200 cubic feet per second, and spring flooding can be expected on an average of every other year. The river has potential for extended periods...
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...

Mineral resource potential map of the Stansbury Roadless Area, Tooele County, Utah
M. L. Sorensen, R. F. Kness
1983, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1353-C
The U.S. Bureau of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey have conducted a survey to determine the mineral resource potential of the eastern part (D4757) of the Stansbury Roadless Area, Tooele County, Utah. The results of this survey indicate that a low to moderate potential for copper, lead, and silver...

Influence of climate on progressive hillslope failure in Redwood Creek Valley, northwestern California
Douglas N. Swanston, Robert Ruhl Ziemer, Richard J. Janda
1983, Open-File Report 83-259
Both creep and earthflow processes control hillslope erosion over large parts of the Redwood Creek basin. The type of process and displacement rates are largely dependent on underlying bedrock type and precipitation input. Progressive creep with rates ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 mm/a dominates on slopes west of the Grogen...
Laboratory safety handbook
E.L. Skinner, C.A. Watterson, J.C. Chemerys
1983, Open-File Report 83-131
Safety, defined as 'freedom from danger, risk, or injury,' is difficult to achieve in a laboratory environment. Inherent dangers, associated with water analysis and research laboratories where hazardous samples, materials, and equipment are used, must be minimized to protect workers, buildings, and equipment. Managers, supervisors, analysts, and laboratory support personnel...
