A geologic evaluation of proposed lava diversion barriers for the NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory, Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii
H. J. Moore
1982, Open-File Report 82-314
Lava flow diversion barriers should protect the Mauna Loa Observatory from flows of reasonable magnitude if properly constructed. The a'a flow upon which the observatory is constructed represents a flow of reasonable magnitude. Proper construction of the barriers includes obtaining riprap from a zone exterior to the proposed V-shaped barrier...
Ground-water monitoring at Santa Barbara, California; Phase 2-effects of pumping on water levels and water quality in the Santa Barbara ground-water basins
Peter Martin
1982, Open-File Report 82-366
From July 1978 to January 1980, water levels declined more than 100 feet in the southern part of the Santa Barbara ground-water basin. The water-level declines are the result of increases in municipal pumping since July 1978. The increase in municipal pumping was part of a basin-testing program to determine...
Sewage plume in a sand and gravel aquifer, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Denis LeBlanc
1982, Open-File Report 82-274
Secondarily treated domestic sewage has been disposed of on surface sand beds at the sewage treatment facility at Otis Air Force Base, Massachusetts, since 1936. Infiltration of the sewage through the sand beds into the underlying unconfined sand and gravel aquifer has resulted in a plume of sewage-contaminated ground water...
Perennial-streamflow characteristics related to channel geometry and sediment in Missouri River basin
W. R. Osterkamp, E. R. Hedman
1982, Professional Paper 1242
Geometry, channel-sediment, and discharge data were collected and compiled from 252 streamflow-gaging stations in the Missouri River basin. The sites represent the complete ranges of hydrologic and geologic conditions found in the basin. The data were analyzed by computer to yield equations relating various discharge characteristics to variables of channel...

Procedures for assessment of cumulative impacts of coal mining on the hydrologic balance
Alan M. Lumb
1982, Open-File Report 82-334
Techniques were developed to assess the probable cumulative impacts of anticipated surface mining upon the hydrology of and area. An activity profile of cumulative drainage area versus river miles downstream from the surface mining site is constructed that shows major water uses, flood prone areas, and stream classifications. From the...

Water quality of the tidal Potomac River and Estuary; hydrologic data report, 1981 water year, with a section on collection and analysis of chlorophyll-a
Stephen F. Blanchard, Richard H. Coupe, Joan C. Woodward
1982, Open-File Report 82-575
This report contains data on the physical and chemical properties measured in the Tidal Potomac River and Estuary during the 1981 water year. Data were collected at least weekly at five stations, and periodically at 15 stations and at two other stations near the mouth of the Potomac River in...

Potential hydrologic impacts of ground-water withdrawal from the Cape Cod National Seashore, Truro, Massachusetts
Denis R. LeBlanc
1982, Open-File Report 82-438
The hydrologic impacts of continuous ground-water withdrawals at 0.75, 1.0, and 1.24 Mgal/d (million gallons per day) from a test-well site in the Cape Cod National Seashore, Truro, Massachusetts, were evaluated with a three-dimensional finite-difference steady-state-flow digital model. The digital model was prepared during an earlier study and is only...
Geohydrology of principal aquifers in the Republican River basin, Kansas
L. E. Dunlap
1982, Open-File Report 82-79
Principal aquifers in the Republican River basin in Kansas are unconsolidated alluvial deposits. One such aquifer is formed by the Ogallala Formation of Miocene age which covers most of the western part of the area. Because saturated thickness of the aquifer decrease northeastward, maximum yields to irrigation wells decrease in...
Water levels in Nassau County Sewer Districts 2 and 3, Long Island, New York, 1978-79
H. F. Ku, D. L. Simmons
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4017
Prior to development on Long Island, about 95 percent of total streamflow originated as groundwater seepage from the upper glacial aquifer; the remaining 5 percent consisted of direct storm runoff. Thus, the streams on Long Island function as groundwater drains. Their flow in dry weather is directly controlled by groundwater...

A finite-difference digital model was used to simulate steady-state conditions of the Big Sioux aquifer in Minnehaha County. Average water levels and average base flow discharge (4.9 cu ft/s) of the Big Sioux River were based on data from 1970 through 1979. The computer model was calibrated for transient conditions...
