Hydrologic characteristics of soils in parts of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas
Jack T. Dugan
1986, Hydrologic Atlas 678
Certain physical characteristics of soils, including permeability, available water capacity, thickness, and topographic position, have a definite effect on the hydrology of an area. They control the rate at which precipitation infiltrates or is transmitted through the soil, and thus they have a significant role in determining the rates both...

Hydrology of Hunters Lake, Hernando County, Florida
S.E. Henderson
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4242
The size and shape of Hunters Lake, Florida has been significantly altered by development of the surrounding Spring Hill residential community. The lake is the largest in Hernando County, enlarged by lakeshore excavation and connection to nearby ponds to an area of 360 acres at an average stage of 17.2...
Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan Aquifer, west-central Florida, September 1986

1986, Open-File Report 86-603
A September 1986 potentiometric surface map of the Upper Floridan aquifer in west-central Florida depicts water levels for the annual high water level period. Water levels in most wells measured in September 1986 were higher than in May 1986. September levels averaged about 1 foot higher than May levels in...

1986, Open-File Report 86-69
This report presents stream-discharge and water-quality data collected at five sites in the lower Horse Creek drainage of southeastern Wyoming, May through November, 1985. Data include stream-discharge measurements; field measurements of specific conductance, pH, and water temperature; and computer changes in stream discharge. Measured discharge in Horse Creek ranged from...
Digital data base of lakes on the North Slope, Alaska

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4143
The National Mapping Division and Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey have produced a digital data base of approximately 23,330 lakes on the North Slope of Alaska. The inventoried region consists of the area north of the 69th parallel and is composed of sixteen 1° x 3° quadrangles....
Magnitude and frequency of high flows of unregulated streams in Kansas
Paul Robert Jordan
1986, Water Supply Paper 2280
Information on high-flow magnitude and frequency is needed for hydrologic evaluation of such factors as flood-control storage and dam safety. High-flow information given in this report is for streamflows unaffected by major regulation, such as by large reservoirs. High-flow magnitude and frequency data are given for 91 streamflow-gaging stations throughout...
Flow testing of the Newberry 2 research drillhole, Newberry volcano, Oregon
S. E. Ingebritsen, W.W. Carothers, Robert H. Mariner, J.S. Gudmundsson, E.A. Sammel
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4133
A 20 hour flow test of the Newberry 2 research drillhole at Newberry Volcano produced about 33,000 kilograms of fluid. The flow rate declined from about 0.8 kilograms per sec to less than 0.3 kilograms per sec during the course of the test. The mass ratio of liquid water to...

Review of the hydrologic data-collection network in the St. Joseph River basin, Indiana
E. J. Crompton, J. G. Peters, R. L. Miller, J. A. Stewart, K. J. Banaszak, R. J. Shedlock
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4157
The St. Joseph River Basin data-collection network in the St. Joseph River for streamflow, lake, ground water, and climatic stations was reviewed. The network review included only the 1700 sq mi part of the basin in Indiana. The streamflow network includes 11 continuous-record gaging stations and one partial-record station. Based...
Techniques for estimating streamflow characteristics in the Eastern and Interior coal provinces of the United States
Kim L. Wetzel, J.M. Bettandorff
1986, Water Supply Paper 2276
Techniques are presented for estimating various streamflow characteristics, such as peak flows, mean monthly and annual flows, flow durations, and flow volumes, at ungaged sites on unregulated streams in the Eastern Coal region. Streamflow data and basin characteristics for 629 gaging stations were used to develop multiple-linear-regression equations. Separate equations...
Temporal changes in sulfate, chloride, and sodium concentrations in four eastern Pennsylvania streams
J. L. Barker
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4074
Trend analyses of 20 years or more of chemical quality and streamflow data for four streams in eastern Pennsylvania indicate that sulfate has decreased significantly in three of the four basins studied, while sodium and chloride have generally increased. The majority of chemical quality changes occurred in the late 1950...
Hydrologic effects of withdrawal of ground water on the West Fargo aquifer system, eastern Cass County, North Dakota
C. A. Armstrong
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4279
The West Fargo area is underlain by glaciofluvial deposits, which comprise the West Fargo aquifer system* These deposits range in thickness from 5 to 227 feet. The West Fargo aquifer system extends from the vicinity of Argusville, Cass County, to at least as far south as Richland County. The aquifer...
Method for estimating low-flow statistics for ungaged streams in the lower Hudson River Basin, New York
C.R. Barnes
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4070
Seven-day, 10-year and 7-day, 2-year low flow statistics were related to selected basin characteristics by multiple-regression analysis for 53 sites with watershed areas of less than 100 sq mi in the lower Hudson River basin. A common 20-year period of record was selected to ensure comparability of results. The most...
Volcanic rocks
1986, Report
Volcanoes have contributed significantly to the formation of the surface of our planet. Volcanism produced the crust we live on and most of the air we breathe. Often the remnants of an eruption are as revealing as the eruption itself, for they tell us many things about the eruption. Included...
Earthquakes
National Geophysical Data Center
1986, Report
An earthquake is the motion or trembling of the ground produced by sudden displacement of rock in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes result from crustal strain, volcanism, landslides, and collapse of caverns. Stress accumulates in response to tectonic forces until it exceeds the strength of the rock. The rock then breaks along a preexisting...
On tide-induced Lagrangian residual current and residual transport: 1. Lagrangian residual current
Shizuo Feng, Ralph T. Cheng, Xi Pangen
1986, Water Resources Research (22) 1623-1634
Residual currents in tidal estuaries and coastal embayments have been recognized as fundamental factors which affect the long-term transport processes. It has been pointed out by previous studies that it is more relevant to use a Lagrangian mean velocity than an Eulerian mean velocity to determine the movements of water...

Evaluation of Alaskan wetlands for waterfowl
Calvin J. Lensink, Dirk V. Derksen
1986, Conference Paper, Alaska: Regional wetland functions: Proceedings of a workshop held at Anchorage, Alaska, May 28-29, 1986
Few studies have focused specifically on use of Alaskan wetlands by waterfowl. However, substantial information on the values of wetlands is available from studies on individual species or that were conducted for other purposes. Most investigators have found it most effective to classify habitat use on the basis of observed...
