Characteristics of suspended sediment in the San Juan River near Bluff, Utah
K. R. Thompson, J. C. Mundorff
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4104
Fluvial-sediment data were collected for the San Juan River near Bluff beginning in 1914 and terminating in 1980. A double-mass curve showed a change in relationship between annual suspended-sediment discharge and annual stream discharge between the water years 1941-44 and 73. Possible causes for these changes in laboratory procedures, and...

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Bluegill
Robert J. Stuber, Glen Gebhart, O. Eugene Maughan
1982, FWS/OBS 82/10.8
A literature review encompassing habitat and species characteristics of the bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is followed by a discussion of the relationship of habitat variables and life requisites of this species. These data re then incorporated into Habitat Suitability Index models for the bluegill. This is one in a series of publications...
Maps showing locations and descriptions of radiocarbon-dated samples from central and northern California
Carol A. Price
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1321
This compilation includes radiocarbon dates and other pertinent information about samples from northern and central California, principally north of latitude 36°, drawn largely from Radiocarbon, Science, unpublished data of U.S. Geological Survey geologists, and other published and unpublished data brought to the author's attention as of January 1981. It includes...
Aquifer test results, Green Swamp area, Florida
C. H. Tibbals, Hayes F. Grubb
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-35
An aquifer test conducted in the Green Swamp area December 15-16 , 1975 was designed to stress the uppermost part of the Floridan aquifer so that the leakage characteristics of the overlying confining bed could be determined. A well tapping the upper part of the Floridan aquifer was pumped at...
Use of a three-dimensional model for the analysis of the ground-water flow system in Parker Valley, Arizona and California
Patrick Tucci
1982, Open-File Report 82-1006
A three-dimensional, finite-difference model was used to simulate ground-water flow conditions in Parker Valley. The study evaluated present knowledge and concepts of the ground-water system and the ability of the model to represent the system. Modeling assumptions and generalized physical parameters that were used may have transfer value in the...
A geochemical survey using heavy mineral concentrates in the Mount Belknap caldera vicinity, Utah
R. E. Tucker, W. Roger Miller, J. M. Motooka
1982, Open-File Report 82-602
Geochemical surveys of the rocks, heavy-mineral concentrates, and surface and spring waters in the vicinity of the Mount Belknap caldera, Tushar Mountains, west-central Utah, were conducted during the summers of 1978 and 1979. Anomalous concentrations of mostly lithophile elements, particularly niobium, beryllium, lead, yttrium, tin, zinc, manganese, and molybdenum in...

A computer program for calculating relative-transmissivity input arrays to aid model calibration
Emanuel Weiss
1982, Open-File Report 82-447
A program is documented that calculates a transmissivity distribution for input to a digital ground-water flow model. Factors that are taken into account in the calculation are: aquifer thickness, ground-water viscosity and its dependence on temperature and dissolved solids, and permeability and its dependence on overburden pressure. Other factors affecting...

Techniques for estimating flood discharges for unregulated streams in New Mexico
Richard P. Thomas, Robert L. Gold
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-24
Equations for estimating flood magnitudes at selected recurrence intervals from 2 to 500 years were developed using multiple-regression analyses. These equations relate flood magnitudes to basin characteristics, contributing drainage area and site altitude, and only are applicable to unregulated streams in New Mexico that are relatively unaffected by urban runoff....
Chemical quality of water in the upper part of the Floridan aquifer, Duval County, Florida
Thomas H. Thompson
1982, Open-File Report 82-119
The Floridan aquifer is the principle source of freshwater in Duval County (fig. 1). Most water-supply wells penetrate only the upper 600 feet of the aquifer because highly mineralized water is found in the deeper zone. Earlier investigations have shown that within the upper 600 feet of the aquifer, the...
A national water-use information program
William B. Mann, John E. Moore, Edith B. Chase
1982, Open-File Report 82-862
The U.S. Geological Survey has compiled estimates of water use every five years since 1950. These estimates have been derived from many sources, and have a wide range of accuracy. Therefore, they fall short of providing a national data base that is both current and reliable. In 1977, the Congress...
