Field data describing the movement and storage of sediment in the East Fork River, Wyoming: Part II, Bed elevations, 1979
Robert H. Meade, Robert M. Myrick, William W. Emmett
1980, Open-File Report 80-1190
At 39 cross sections in a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River Wyo., bed elevations were measured daily during a month-long period that included the peak snowmelt runoff. Elevations were measured at less frequent intervals for a week before and several weeks after peak runoff. Considerable scour and fill was...

Rapid and precise determination of ATP using a modified photometer
David J. Shultz, Doyle W. Stephens
1980, Open-File Report 80-1194
An inexpensive delay timer was designed to modify a commercially available ATP photometer which allows a disposable tip pipette to be used for injecting either enzyme or sample into the reaction cuvette. The disposable tip pipette is as precise and accurate as a fixed-needle syringe but eliminates the problem of...

Technique for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in West Virginia
Gerald S. Runner
1980, Open-File Report 80-1218
A technique is presented to provide a method of estimating the magnitude of peak discharges of T-year frequencies for unregulated, virtually natural streams in West Virginia. Multiple regression techniques were used to develop the relation between peak discharges and drainage area. Data collected at 170 stream gaging sites were used...

Suspended-sediment discharge in five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before, during, and after highway construction
Lloyd A. Reed
1980, Water Supply Paper 2072
Rainfall, streamflow, sediment, and turbidity data were collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on suspended-sediment discharges in streams. The study was also designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharge. Although highway construction increased suspended-sediment discharges from two...
Relationships between basic soils-engineering equations and basic ground-water flow equations
Donald G. Jorgensen
1980, Water Supply Paper 2064
The many varied though related terms developed by ground-water hydrologists and by soils engineers are useful to each discipline, but their differences in terminology hinder the use of related information in interdisciplinary studies. Equations for the Terzaghi theory of consolidation and equations for ground-water flow are identical under specific conditions....
Reconnaissance assessment of erosion and sedimentation in the Canada de los Alamos basin, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, California
J. M. Knott
1980, Water Supply Paper 2061
An assessment of present erosion and sedimentation conditions in the Ca?ada de los Alamos basin was made to aid in estimating the impact of off-road-vehicle use on the sediment yield of the basin. Impacts of off-road vehicles were evaluated by reconnaissance techniques and by comparing the study area with other...
Sediment deposition in the White River Reservoir, northwestern Wisconsin
W. G. Batten, S. M. Hindall
1980, Water Supply Paper 2069
The history of deposition in the White River Reservoir was reconstructed from a study of sediment in the reservoir. Suspended-sediment concentrations, particle size, and streamflow characteristics were measured at gaging stations upstream and downstream from the reservoir from November 1975 through September 1977. Characteristics of the sediments were determined from...

Channel and dynamic flow characteristics of the Chattahoochee River, Buford Dam to Georgia Highway 141
Robert E. Faye, Rodney N. Cherry
1980, Water Supply Paper 2063
Detailed flow and cross-section data for a 17-mile reach of the Chattahoochee River in northeast Georgia are described and summarized. Flow data include measurements of highly dynamic stage and discharge at five stations during the period March 21-23, 1976. Flow data were collected at 5-minute intervals and are listed accordingly....
The effect of dissolution of volcanic glass on the water chemistry in a tuffaceous aquifer, Rainier Mesa, Nevada
Art F. White, H.C. Claassen, Larry V. Benson
1980, Water Supply Paper 1535-Q
Geochemistry of ground water associated with the Tertiary tuffs within Rainier Mesa, southern Nevada, was investigated to determine the relative importance of glass dissolution in controlling water chemistry. Water samples were obtained both from interstitial pores in core sections and from free-flowing fractures. Cation com- positions showed that calcium and...
Annual water-resources review White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
R. R. Cruz
1980, Open-File Report 80-753
Ground-water data were collected in 1979 at White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. Total ground-water pumpage from the Post Headquarters well field, which produces more than 98% of the water used at White Sands Missile Range, was 1.4 million gallons more in 1979 than in 1978. The most...

A coal deposit in Bay County, Mich., typical of Pennsylvanian-coal deposits in the State, was studied to determine the degree to which hydrologic factors might affect future coal mining. The coal deposit, which averages about 0.5 meters in thickness, lies 50 meters below land surface. It is part of a...
