Nutrient yield of the Apalachicola River flood plain, Florida; water-quality assessment plan
H. C. Mattraw Jr., John F. Elder
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-51
The Apalachicola River in northwestern Florida is the location of one of four current U.S. Geological Survey National River Quality Assessments. The investigation of the Apalachicola River and flood plain is designed to quantify the organic detritus and nutrient yield to the productive, estuarine Apalachicola Bay. The extensive riverine flood...
Preimpoundment water quality of the Wild Rice River, Norman County, Minnesota
L. H. Tornes
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-79
Water samples have been collected at two sites on the Wild Rice River since September 1974 to establish baseline water-quality characteristics before construction of a reservoir for recreation and flood control near Twin Valley, Minn. A decline in water quality between the sites is shown by mean total phosphorus concentrations,...
Water quality of four lakes in Lakeville, Minnesota
L. H. Tornes, M.R. Have
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-66
Water-quality characteristics were determined for four selected lakes to provide background data for evaluating changes that may occur in the lakes because of urbanization. Precipitation of calcium carbonate is suggested by high pH values and a decrease in the calcium concentration when magnesium, sodium, and chloride concentrations increase. Pollution is...
Seawater intrusion and potential yield of aquifers in the Soquel-Aptos area, Santa Cruz County, California
K. S. Muir
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-84
Seawater has intruded the Purisima Formation in the interval 0-100 feet below sea level in the Soquel-Aptos area. It occurs in the central part of the area and extends inland about half a mile. The potential yields of the two principal aquifers in the Soquel-Aptos area are 4,400 acre-feet per...
Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the Ferron sandstone aquifer near Emery, Utah
Daniel J. Morrissey, Gregory C. Lines, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-62
A three-dimensional finite-difference computer model of the Ferron sand-stone aquifer was used to simulate ground-water flow in the Emery coal field in east-central Utah. The model also was used to predict the effects of pro-posed surface mining and the resulting mine dewatering on potentiometric sur-faces of the aquifer. The model...
Cross sections of the Hudson River estuary from Troy to New York City, New York
D.A. Stedfast
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-24
Data on channel geometry of the Hudson River estuary at 125 cross sections between the Federal Dam at Troy and the norhtern limits of New York City (133 miles) are presented for use in hydraulic modeling, tidal studies, traveltime and water-quality studies, and other uses requiring knowledge of Hudson River...
Evaluation of remote hydrologic data-acquisition systems, west-central Florida
J.F. Turner Jr., W. M. Woodham
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-102
The study provides an evaluation of the hydrologic applications of a land-line and two satellite data-relay systems operated during 1977-78 in the Southwest Florida Water Management District. These systems were tested to evaluate operational and reliability characteristics. Telephone lines were used to relay data in the land-line system, and the...
Streamflow characteristics of the Yellowstone River Basin, Montana, through 1976
L. Grady Moore, Ronald R. Shields
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-41
Statistical summaries of streamflow data for selected stream-gaging and crest-stage gage sites are presented in this report to aid in appraising the hydrology of the Yellowstone River basin, Montana. Streamflow records presented for 45 gaging stations and 45 crest-stage gages for the period of record. Streamflow record collection in the...

Ground water in the Piedmont Upland of central Maryland
Claire A. Richardson
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-18
Aquifers in a 130-square-mile area of the central Maryland and Piedmont, are shown to be the sole or principal source of water. The study area is underlain chiefly by crystalline rocks and partly by unaltered sandstones and siltstones. The groundwater is derived from local precipitation and generally occurs under water-table...
Physical environment and hydrologic characteristics of coal-mining areas in Missouri
J. E. Vaill, James H. Barks
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-67
Hydrologic information for the north-central and western coal-mining regions of Missouri is needed to define the hydrologic system in these areas of major historic and planned coal development. This report describes the physical setting, climate, coal-mining practices, general hydrologic system, and the current (1980) hydrologie data base in these two...
Potential effects of increased ground-water pumpage on Barka Slough, San Antonio Creek Valley, Santa Barbara County, California
Michael J. Mallory
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-95
Ground-water use in San Antonio Creek valley is expected to increase significantly as a result of planned extensive agricultural development in the basin. The effects of this additional stress on the ground-water system, particularly on the environmentally sensitive Barka, Slough, are of concern in the basin.Expectations of the developer are...
Hydrologic setting of wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake area, Stutsman County, North Dakota
Thomas C. Winter, Mark R. Carr
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-99
Because of growing interest in the role of lakes and wetlands in the hydrology of the prairie environment, a group of wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake area, Stutsman County, are being instrumented for long-term hydrologic studies. The study site is on a regional topographic high near the eastern edge of...
A comparison of analog and digital modeling techniques for simulating three-dimensional ground-water flow on Long Island, New York
Thomas E. Reilly, Arlen W. Harbaugh
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-14
A three-dimensional electric-analog model of the Long Island, NY , groundwater system constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 1970 's was used as the basis for developing a digital, three-dimensional finite-difference model. The digital model was needed to provide faster modifications and more rapid solutions to water-management...
