Origins and distribution of saline ground waters in the Floridan Aquifer in coastal southwest Florida
W.C. Steinkampf
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4052
Twenty-three ground-water samples from the Floridan aquifer in coastal southwest Florida show that water quality deteriorates to the south and west. The waters grade from a fresh calcium magnesium bicarbonate sulfate type to a very saline sodium magnesium chloride type downgradient. Bromide-chloride and specific conductance ratios indicate that dilution of...
Estimated natural streamflow in the Rio San Jose upstream from the pueblos of Acoma and Laguna, New Mexico
D. W. Risser
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4096
The development of surface and ground water, which began about 1870 in the upper Rio San Jose drainage basin, has decreased the flow of the Rio San Jose on the Pueblo of Acoma and the Pueblo of Laguna. The purpose of this study was to estimate the natural streamflow in...

Method for relating suspended-chemical concentrations to suspended-sediment particle-size classes in storm-water runoff
Joseph F. Rinella, Stuart W. McKenzie
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-39
A method has been developed to relate suspended-chemical concentrations (associated with suspended sediments) in storm-water runoff to suspended-sediment particle-size classes. These classes are based on settling velocities in quiescent native water. This method requires processing 20 liters of water having a suspended-sediment concentration greater than 500 milligrams per liter. However,...
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...
Preliminary projections of the effects of chloride-control structures on the Quaternary aquifer at Great Salt Plains, Oklahoma
J.E. Reed
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-120
About 1,200 tons of chloride per day are added to the salt load of the Salt Fork Arkansas River at Great Salt Plains Lake.from brine discharge from the rocks of Permian age in the vicinity of the lake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has planned a chloride-control project. The...
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....
Base flow of streams on Long Island, New York
Richard J. Reynolds
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-48
On Long Island, base flow under nonurbanized conditions constitutes 90 to 95% of total stream discharge. Base-flow data from 19 continuously gaged streams are presented as monthly mean and annual mean discharge for water years 1960-75, which includes the 1962-66 drought. The data were derived by hydrograph-separation procedures that isolate...
Downstream effects of reservoir releases to the Potomac River from Luke, Maryland, to Washington, D.C.
T. J. Trombley
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4062
A digital computer flow-routing model was developed for the Potomac River in order to determine the downstream effects of flow releases from the Bloomington and Savage River Reservoirs. Both reservoirs are located above Luke, Maryland approximately 230 miles upstream from Washington, D. C. The downstream effects of reservoir releases were...
Two-dimensional, steady-state model of ground-water flow, Nevada Test Site and vicinity, Nevada-California
R. K. Waddell
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4085
A two-dimensional, steady-state model of ground-water flow beneath the Nevada Test Site and vicinity has been developed using inverse techniques. The area is underlain by clastic and carbonate rocks of Precambrian and Paleozoic age and by volcanic rocks and alluvium of Tertiary and Quaternary age that have been juxtaposed by...
Flow model of the Hudson River estuary from Albany to New Hamburg, New York
David A. Stedfast
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-55
A one-dimensional transient-flow-simulation model was developed to represent a 76-mile reach of the tidal Hudson River between Albany and New Hamburg. In this reach, the direction of flow reverses four times daily as a result of tidal influence; this produces complex current patterns and retards the rate at which the...
Floods of May 1981 in west-central Montana
Charles Parrett, R. J. Omang, J. A. Hull, John W. Fassler
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-33
Extensive flooding occurred in west-central Montana during May 22-23, 1981, as a result of a series of rainstorms. Flooding was particularly severe in the communities of East Helena, Belt, and Deer Lodge. Although no lives were lost, total flood damages were estimated by the Montana Disaster Emergency Services Division to...
Habitat suitability index models: Creek chub
Thomas E. McMahon
1982, FWS/OBS 82/10.4
The creek chub is a widely-distributed cyprinid ranging from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast and from the Gulf of Mexico to southern Manitoba and Quebec (Scott and Crossman 1973). Within its range, it is one of the most characteristic and common fishes of small, clear streams (Trautman 1957)....
