Noel C. Krothe, Joseph W. Oliver, John B. Weeks
1982, Hydrologic Atlas 658
In 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey initiated a 5-year study of the High Plains regional aquifer to provide: (1) Hydrologic information needed to evaluate the effects of continued ground-water development; and (2) computer models to predict aquifer response to changes in ground-water development. The plan of study for the High...
Quality of streams in the Bull Mountains region, south-central Montana
J. R. Knapton
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-2
In October 1977, water-quality monitoring stations were established on five small streams that drain the Bull Mountains and also on the Musselshell River to document present water-quality conditions in a coal area of south-central Montana. Relatively static water-quality conditions exist throughout the annual flow cycle on the small streams but...

1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1388
The data shown on this map and listed in table 1 are for earthquakes that were originally included in a study of seismic risk in the United States (Algermissen, 1969). This data file has been recompiled and updated through 1981. Some revisions of epicenters and intensities in the original file...
Ground-water applications of remote sensing
Gerald K. Moore
1982, Open-File Report 82-240
Remote sensing can be used as a tool to inventory springs and seeps and to interpret lithology, structure, and ground-water occurrence and quality. Thermograms are the best images for inventory of seeps and springs. The steps in aquifer mapping are image analysis and interpretation and ground-water interpretation. A ground-water interpretation...

Determination of irrigation pumpage in parts of Kearny and Finney Counties, southwestern Kansas
R. J. Lindgren
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4011
Irrigation pumpage was determined for parts of Kearny and Finney Counties in Southwestern Kansas using crop-acreage data and consumptive, irrigation-water requirements. Irrigated acreages for 1974-80 were compiled for wheat, grain sorghum, corn, and alfalfa using records from the U.S. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Consumptive-irrigation requirements were computed using a...
Results of deep-well injection testing at Mulberry, Florida
John J. Hickey, W.E. Wilson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-75
At the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation plant, Mulberry, Fla., high-chloride, acidic liquid wastes are injected into a dolomite section at depths below about 4,000 feet below land surface. In 1975, a satellite monitor well was drilled 2,291 feet from the injection well and a series of three injection tests...
Model modifications for simulation of flow through stratified rocks in eastern Ohio
J. O. Helgesen, A. C. Razem, S. P. Larson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4019
A quasi three-dimensional groundwater flow model is being used as part of a study to determine impacts of coal-strip mining on local hydrologic systems. Modifications to the model were necessary to simulate local hydrologic conditions properly. Perched water tables required that the method of calculating vertical flow rate be changed....
Hydrology of the Prairie Dog Creek drainage basin, Rosebud and Big Horn Counties, Montana
N. E. McClymonds
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-37
The Prairie Dog Creek drainage basin in southeastern Montana was investigated during 1978-79 to assess the surface-water and ground-water resources and the quality of water in an area having coal-mining potential. The area, a 24.2-square-mile basin, is located 30 miles southwest of Ash-land, Montana. The principal mineable coal is the...
Evaluation of sediment yield and sediment data-collection network in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado
J. E. Kircher, Paul Von Guerard
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4046
Statistical relationships were developed between suspended-sediment discharge and several regional factors of climate, physiography, and land use in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the existing sediment collection network, especially in regard to detecting changes in suspended-sediment discharge due to the development in...

Near-station terrain corrections for gravity data by a surface-integral technique
M. E. Gettings
1982, Open-File Report 82-1045
A new method of computing gravity terrain corrections by use of a digitizer and digital computer can result in substantial savings in the time and manual labor required to perform such corrections by conventional manual ring-chart techniques. The method is typically applied to estimate terrain effects for topography near the...

The native range of channel catfish (Ictalurus Runctatus) extends from the southern portions of the Canadian prairie provinces south to the Gulf states, west to the Rocky Mountains, and east to the Appalachian Mountains (Trautman 1957; Miller 1966; Scott and Crossman 1973). They have been widely introduced outside this range...
