Quality of water and time of travel in Little Copiah Creek near Crystal Springs, Mississippi
S. J. Kalkhoff
1981, Open-File Report 81-1069
An intensive quality of water study was conducted on Little Copiah Creek in the vicinity of Crystal Springs, Miss., from August 19 to August 21, 1980. The quality of water in Little Copiah Creek improved 7 miles downstream of a source of wastewater inflow. The mean total nitrogen concentration decreased...
Quality of water in Tibbee Creek and tributaries near West Point, Mississippi
Stephen J. Kalkhoff
1981, Open-File Report 81-406
An intensive water-quality study was conducted on Tibbee Creek and two of its tributaries, Town Creek and Catalpa Creek, on June 19-22, 1979. The data were collected during a period of low discharge and high air temperatures. The water in Tibbee Creek and Catalpa Creek was of much better quality...

Modification of the Tangborn short-term hydrometeorological model, with trial results from the Baker River basin, Washington
M.R. Karlinger, J. D. Wilson
1981, Open-File Report 81-694
This report presents a modification of the short-term hydrometeorological model (Tangborn, 1978) for estimating river-basin snowmelt runoff. A multiple linear regression replaces a nonlinear regression scheme to correct for temperature effects of snowmelt runoff. Results based on data from the Baker River basin, Washington, indicate that model performance is improved...

Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1979
C.C. Kidwell
1981, Open-File Report 81-823
This report contains rainfall and runoff data collected during the 1979 water year for the 21.6-square mile area above the stream-gaging station North Creek near Jacksboro, Texas. A continuous water-stage recording gage was installed at one representative floodwater-retarding structure (site 28-A) on Oct. 5, 1972. The data are collected to...
Single-channel, high-resolution seismic data from six areas of the northern Gulf of Mexico continental slope
Jack L. Kindinger, Arnold H. Bouma
1981, Open-File Report 81-400
During the R/V GYRE cruise 80-G-4 in May-June 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted high-resolution seismic studies over five intraslope basins and over one selected area of special interest in the northern Gulf of Mexico (fig. 1). Data from each area suggest that the intraslope basins are directly related to...

Sediment transport and effective discharge of the North Platte, South Platte, and Platte Rivers in Nebraska
J. E. Kircher
1981, Open-File Report 81-53
Sediment discharge was computed for four locations along the North Platte, South Platte, and the Platte Rivers between North Platte and Grand Island, Nebraska in order to determine the effective discharge. The total-sediment discharge was computed by the Colby method and modified Einstein method so that comparisons could be made...

This manual was written to establish the most accurate analytical methodology for determining the major constituents in silicate rocks. This report describes modified classical procedures for determining the amount of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, FeO, CaO, MgO, H2O-, H2O+, TiO2, P2O5, MnO, CO2, and S in silicate rocks. In the determination...
A method of estimating flood-frequency parameters for streams in Idaho
L.C. Kjelstrom, R. L. Moffatt
1981, Open-File Report 81-909
Skew coefficients for the log-Pearson type III distribution are generalized on the basis of some similarity of floods in the Snake River basin and other parts of Idaho. Generalized skew coefficients aid in shaping flood-frequency curves because skew coefficients computed from gaging stations having relatively short periods of peak flow...
