Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Deschutes River basin, Washington
J. E. Cummans
1981, Open-File Report 81-639
The purpose of the study was to determine the magnitude and frequency of low flows of streams in the Deschutes River basin.The streams in the basin usually have their low flows in August and September. Seven-day low flows were smallest in 1952 when annual rainfall at the Olympia airport was...

Appearance and water quality of turbidity plumes created by dredging in Tampa Bay, Florida
Carl R. Goodwin, D.M. Michaelis
1981, Open-File Report 81-541
Turbidity plumes in Tampa Bay, Florida, were monitored during ship-channel dredging operations from February 1977 to August 1978 to document plume appearance and water quality, evaluate plume influence on the characteristics of Tampa Bay water, and provide a basis for transferring the information to other areas having generally similar sediment,...

Annual water resources review, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, 1980
R. R. Cruz
1981, Open-File Report 81-921
Ground-water data were collected in 1980 at White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. The total water pumped at White Sands Missile Range in 1980 was 725,053,000 gallons, which was 32.5 million gallons more than in 1979. The Post Headquarters well field, which produces more than 98 percent of...
Addendum to sources of powerplant cooling water in the desert area of Southern California: a reconnaissance study
J. H. Koehler, Michael J. Mallory
1981, Open-File Report 81-527
A hydrologic reconnaissance study was made in five basins in southern California previously classified as suitable for providing sufficient ground water for cooling a 1,000-megawatt electric-power generating plant. The criteria used to evaluate the basins were (1) theoretical aquifer response to pumping, (2) alternative sources of water, and (3) chemical...
A summary of phosphate-rock resources of the United States-an analysis of past estimates
James Bachelder Cathcart, Richard Porter Sheldon, Robert A. Gulbrandsen
1981, Open-File Report 81-789
The United States produced in 1980 about 54 million tons of phosphate rock, which was 40 percent of the world production. About 62 percent of this production was exported, 28 percent as phosphate rock and 34 percent is manufactured fertilizers and chemicals. The remainder was used domestically, largely (88 percent)...

Water-quality data for the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system, Trenton to Pennsville, New Jersey, 1980
Thomas V. Fusillo, Lois M. Voronin
1981, Open-File Report 81-814
Samples for chemical analysis were collected from June to December 1980 from 262 wells tapping the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system. The samples were analyzed for common ions, dissolved metals, nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, volatile organic compounds, pH, temperature, and specific conductance. This report contains the results of the analyses, well construction...

Large-scale bedforms in the Platte River downstream from Grand Island, Nebraska; structure, process, and relationship to channel narrowing
K.D. Crowley
1981, Open-File Report 81-1059
The Platte River channel in Nebraska, especially downstream from Grand Island, is characterized by large, periodic, and geometrically distinct bedforms called macroforms. Macroforms have dimensions commensurate with the width and depth of the channel and are emergent at all but the highest flow stages. The encroachment of vegetation on macroforms...

J. E. Kircher
1981, Open-File Report 81-53
Sediment discharge was computed for four locations along the North Platte, South Platte, and the Platte Rivers between North Platte and Grand Island, Nebraska in order to determine the effective discharge. The total-sediment discharge was computed by the Colby method and modified Einstein method so that comparisons could be made...
Water resources of the Santa Ysabel and Mesa Grande Indian Reservations, San Diego County, California
John R. Freckleton
1981, Open-File Report 81-342
The Santa Ysabel (consisting of three tracts) and Mesa Grande Indian Reservations are in north-central San Diego County, Calif. On both reservations fractured and weathered igneous and metamorphic rocks and alluvium are water bearing; however, no wells are known to derive their water entirely from alluvium. Well yields range from...
