1985, Open-File Report 85-156
A compilation of streamflow and suspended-sediment data collected from October 1, 1982, to September 30, 1983, at seven gaging stations in the James River basin downstream from Forestburg, South Dakota, is presented in tabular and graphic form. Three of the gaging stations are on the main stem and four are...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981
Fred Liscum
1985, Open-File Report 85-163
Hydro! oqic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, and Houston. Studies have been completed in the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio areas. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Houston, began studies...
Effects of wetlands on quality of runoff entering lakes in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota
R. G. Brown
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4170
Four wetlands were compared with respect to their effectiveness in decreasing suspended solids and nutrient concentrations in runoff to lakes immediately downstream from the wetlands. An artificial impoundment in one of the wetlands increased settling of suspended solids. A decrease of nutrients in this wetland was probably the result of...
Hydrogeologic data related to the potential for stock-water development on federally owned rangeland near Dillon, Montana
J. F. Levings
1985, Open-File Report 85-170
Existing hydrogeologic data and information were synthesized for 20 sites on federally owned rangeland near Dillon, Montana. The purpose was to assist the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in evaluating the potential for developing additional stock-water supplies. Hydrologic and geologic conditions at most of the sites were verified by onsite...
Results of the US Geological Survey's second International Interlaboratory Analytical Comparison Study; Standard Reference Water Samples M-86 (major constituents), T-87 (trace constituents), and P-5 (precipitation snowmelt)
V.J. Janzer
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4049
The U.S. Geological Survey began an interlaboratory testing program of standard-reference water samples in 1962. Program objectives have been to provide a means for participating anaytical laboratories to: (1) Identify analytical problems, (2) ascertain the accuracy and precision of common water analyses and analytical methods, and (3) obtain reference samples...
Simulation of the effects of management alternatives on the stream-aquifer system, South Fork Solomon River Valley between Webster Reservoir and Waconda Lake, north-central Kansas
R.D. Burnett, T.B. Reed
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4200
With extensive irrigation use of both surface water and groundwater in the South Fork Solomon River valley shortages of these water supplies have been created. A two-dimensional digital model of transient groundwater flow was applied to investigate the potential effects on the stream aquifer system of seven management alternatives. These...

Determination of roughness coefficients for streams in Colorado
R.D. Jarrett
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4004
Most hydraulic calculations of flow in channels and overbank areas require an evaluation of flow resistance, generally expressed as Manning 's roughness coefficient. The degree of roughness depends on many factors. The report summarizes and relates several methods of estimating roughness and presents additional channel-roughness verification data on higher-gradient streams...

Generalized configuration of the base of the High Plains Aquifer in Kansas
Kenneth R. Watts, Lloyd E. Stullken
1985, Open-File Report 81-344
The High Plains aquifer in Kansas is part of a regional system that extends from South Dakota to Texas. In Kansas, the aquifer underlies an area of 30,900 square miles in the western and south-central part. The aquifer is a hydraulically connected aggregation of unconsolidated water-bearing deposits. The High Plains...
Geochemical survey to determine water-quality characteristics of the Big Sioux Aquifer in eastern South Dakota
N.F. Leibbrand
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4069
A geochemical survey of the Big Sioux aquifer, South Dakota was under taken to: (1) Estimate the quality of the water in the aquifer, (2) determine if there are any water-quality problems in the aquifer, and (3) design a water-quality monitoring network to monitor changes in present and potential water-quality...
