Temperature of ground water at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1979- 1981
Gary N. Paulachok
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4189
Anthropogenic heat production has undoubtedly caused increased ground-water temperatures in many parts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as shown by temperatures of 98 samples and logs of 40 wells measured during 1979-81. Most sample temperatures were higher than 12.6 degrees Celsius (the local mean annual air temperature), and many logs depict cooling...

L. L. DeLong
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4008
Data concerning salinity, phosphorus, and trace elements in streams and springs within the Green River Basin in Wyoming are summarized. Relative contributions of salinity are shown through estimates of annual loads and average concentrations at 11 water quality measurements sites for the 1970-77 water years. A hypothetical diversion of 20...
Simulation of rain floods on Willow Creek, Valley County, Montana
Charles Parrett
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4341
The Hydrologic Engineering Center-1 rainfall-runoff simulation model was used to assess the effects of a system of reservoirs and waterspreaders in the 550-sq mi Willow Creek Basin in northeastern Montana. For simulation purposes, the basin was subdivided into 100 subbasins containing 84 reservoirs and 14 waterspreaders. Precipitation input to the...

A reconnaissance water-quality appraisal of the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer between Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado, including trace elements and organic constituents
Doug Cain, Patrick Edelmann
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4085
This report describes the hydrology and chemical quality of water in the stream-aquifer system along Fountain Creek and relates groundwater quality to land use, water use, and wastewater discharges. The alluvial aquifer, which is underlain by shale bedrock, is transmissive, extensively pumped, and primarily is recharged by Fountain Creek and...
Water resources of the Lower Rio Grande de Arecibo alluvial valley, Puerto Rico
Vicente Quinones-Aponte
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4160
An assessment of the surface and groundwater resources of the lower Rio Grande de Arecibo alluvial valley was made between 1981 and 1983. Rio Grande de Arecibo is the major source of water in the valley with a mean-annual discharge of 527 cu ft/sec (382,000 acre-ft/yr). Its lowest mean-daily flow...

1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1807
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has collected marine gravity data along the U.S. Atlantic continental margin during the last decade. This map of the Long Island platform combines the data used to make the preliminary free-air gravity anomaly map of the Atlantic continental margin (Grow and others, 1976) with the...
The Conterminous United States Mineral Appraisal Program; background information to accompany folio of geologic, geochemical, geophysical, and mineral resources maps of the Medford 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Oregon and California

Estimated monthly percentile discharges at ungaged sites in the upper Yellowstone River Basin in Montana
Charles Parrett, J. A. Hull
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4009
Once-monthly streamflow measurements were used to estimate selected percentile discharges on flow-duration curves of monthly mean discharge for 40 ungaged stream sites in the upper Yellowstone River basin in Montana. The estimation technique was a modification of the concurrent-discharge method previously described and used by H.C. Riggs to estimate annual...
