Methods and computer program documentation for determining anisotropic transmissivity tensor components of two-dimensional ground-water flow
M.L. Maslia, R.B. Randolph
1986, Open-File Report 86-227
The theory of anisotropic aquifer hydraulic properties and a computer program, written in Fortran 77, developed to compute the components of the anisotropic transmissivity tensor of two-dimensional groundwater flow are described. To determine the tensor components using one pumping well and three observation wells, the type-curve and straight-line approximation methods...
Plan of study for the regional aquifer systems analysis of the Michigan Basin
Richard J. Mandle
1986, Open-File Report 86-494
Quaternary glacial deposits and Pennsylvanian and Mississippian sandstones, -the Saginaw Formation and Marshall Sandstone- are the major aquifers in the Michigan basin. These aquifers supply approximately 188 million gal/day to municipalities in the 29 ,000 sq mi study area. The most significant problems related to groundwater supplies are the identification...

1986, Open-File Report 85-649
During 1982-85, the Water Resources Division (WRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) installed over 70 large minicomputers in offices across the country to support its mission in the science of hydrology. These computers are connected by a communications network that allows information to be shared among computers in each...

1986, Open-File Report 86-419
From mid-1984 through mid-1985, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) engaged in an investigation of two craters formed from high-yield, near-surface nuclear bursts in the Marshall Islands at Enewetak Atoll (figures 1 and 2). Supported by the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), this cooperative venture is referred to by the acronym...

Estimating iron and aluminum content of acid mine discharge from a north-central Pennsylvania coal field by use of acidity titration curves
A.N. Ott
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4335
Determination of acidity provides a value that denotes the quantitative capacity of the sample water to neutralize a strong base to a particular pH. However, much additional information can be obtained from this determination if a titration curve is constructed from recorded data of titrant increments and their corresponding pH...
Water resources of Yankton County, South Dakota
E. F. Bugliosi
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4241
The major surface-water sources in Yankton County, South Dakota are Lewis and Clark Lake, Marindahl and Beaver Lakes, and the Missouri and James Rivers. The James River has an average flow of 375 cu ft/sec and the Missouri River at Yankton has an average flow of 26,410 cu ft/sec. Major...

Directions and rates of ground-water movement in the vicinity of Kesterson Reservoir, San Joaquin Valley, California
R.J. Mandle, A.L. Kontis
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4196
A three-dimensional groundwater flow model was used to simulate groundwater flow for a 124 sq mi area in the vicinity of Kesterson Reservoir in the San Joaquin Valley, California. Available data were used to calculate a probable range of groundwater flow rates, but calibration and sensitivity analysis were not done...
Investigation of the need for discharge adjustments for unsteady flow at selected gaging stations on streams in Tennessee
B.L. Neely, R.H. Bingham
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4144
Measured discharges made during rising or falling stages generally require adjustments to refine constant-stage rating curves (stage-discharge relations) for gaged sites. Measurements at 42 gaging stations on Tennessee streams were selected for adjustment. Two methods, generally accepted by the U.S. Geological Survey, were tested: (1) the slope method adjusts the...
Hydraulic properties of rock units and chemical quality of water for INEL-1 — A 10,365-foot deep test hole drilled at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho
L. J. Mann
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4020
A 10,365-ft deep test hole drilled at the INEL (Idaho National Engineering Laboratory) in southeastern Idaho provided hydraulic information for rock units underlying the Snake River Plain aquifer. Four aquifer tests showed that the hydraulic conductivity decreased with depth--from an average of 0.03 ft/day for the interval from 1,511 to...
