Characterization of floodflows along the Arkansas River without regulation by Pueblo Reservoir, Portland to John Martin Reservoir, Southeastern Colorado
John R. Little, Daniel P. Bauer
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-97

An analysis of reservoir storage contents for the proposed enlargement of Bumping Lake in Washington
John H. Bartells
1981, Open-File Report 80-440
Monthend contents of the proposed Bumping Lake enlargement in Washington were determined for the period 1917-73 by using the historic streamflow record as a basis for inflow to the reservoir and imposing certain operational requirements on reservoir releases. The operational requirements used were those set forth in the Environmental Statement...

Geologic, hydrologic, and chemical data from test wells in the Dickson area, Tennessee
Mike Bradley, Jil Jonas
1981, Open-File Report 81-202
Seventeen test wells were drilled at 12 sites in south central Dickson County, Tenn. Most of the sites were selected on the basis of carefully developed concepts of groundwater occurrence. These wells range from 20 to 400 feet deep and average 276 feet deep. The yields range from 0 to...
