Discharge data at water-quality monitoring stations in Arkansas, 1980 water year
R.K. Knott
1981, Open-File Report 82-157
Discharge data were computed for a network of water-quality monitoring stations operated by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology. Some of the sites are located at U.S. Geological Survey of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers daily-discharge stations, but most sites are at points where discharges are not regularly...
Addendum to sources of powerplant cooling water in the desert area of Southern California: a reconnaissance study
J. H. Koehler, Michael J. Mallory
1981, Open-File Report 81-527
A hydrologic reconnaissance study was made in five basins in southern California previously classified as suitable for providing sufficient ground water for cooling a 1,000-megawatt electric-power generating plant. The criteria used to evaluate the basins were (1) theoretical aquifer response to pumping, (2) alternative sources of water, and (3) chemical...

Hydrogeologic data from selected wells and test holes in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, 1972-80
Richard K. Krulikas
1981, Open-File Report 81-500
The population of Suffolk County, New York, an area of 922 square miles, has increased rapidly, from less than 200,000 in 1940 to about 1.3 million in 1978. Ground-water pumpage has increased from an average of 42 million gallons per day in 1950 to about 257 million gallons per day...
Base flow of streams in Nassau County sewer districts 2 and 3, Long Island, New York, 1978-79
Henry F. Ku, Dale L. Simmons
1981, Open-File Report 81-420
South-shore streams on Long Island, N.Y., are small, widely spaced and have few or no tributaries. Their gradients are gentle, averaging 10 feet per mile. All streams in the area studied have a mean annual discharge of less than 20 cubic feet per second, and most are from 3 to...
An oilspill risk analysis for the North Atlantic (proposed sale 52) Outer Continental Shelf lease area
Robert P. LaBelle
1981, Open-File Report 81-865
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted to determine the relative environmental hazards of developing oil in different regions of the North Atlantic (Proposed Sale 52) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lease area. The probability of spill occurrences, likely movement of oil slicks, and locations of resources vulnerable to spilled oil were...

A finite-element model study of the impact of the proposed I-326 crossing on flood stages of the Congaree River near Columbia, South Carolina
J. K. Lee, C. S. Bennett III
1981, Open-File Report 81-1194
A two-dimensional finite element surface water model was used to study the hydraulic impact of the proposed Interstate Route 326 crossing of the Congaree River near Columbia, SC. The finite element model was assessed as a potential operational tool for analyzing complex highway crossings and other modifications of river flood...
Magnitude and chemical quality of base flow of Otter Creek, Tongue River, and Rosebud Creek, southeastern Montana, October 26-November 5, 1977
Roger W. Lee, Steven E. Slagle, James R. Stimson
1981, Open-File Report 80-1298
Hydrologic and chemical data were collected during base-flow conditions on three streams in southeastern Montana from October 26 to November 5, 1977, to characterize groundwater discharge. Maximum measured flow of Otter Creek, an interrupted stream, was 1.2 cubic feet per second. The water chemistry was dominated by sodium, magnesium, and...
Evapotranspiration from rapidly growing young saltcedar in the Gila River Valley of Arizona
O.E. Leppanen
1981, Open-File Report 81-485
Estimates of evapotranspiration by young saltcedar, based on energy budget measurements, were made for an unfilled portion of the San Carlos Reservoir in east-central Arizona. Foty-eight days of record were obtained before the site was inundated. The young saltcedar, which had grown from seed earlier in the season , had...

1981, Open-File Report 81-326
Selected drill-stem-test data were collected for use in the hydrologic analysis of aquifers in the northern Great Plains area of Montana. To supplement existing data defining the potentiometric surface of various aquifers, shut-in pressures recorded during drill-stem tests of oil and gas test wells were used to calculate the altitude...
