Effects of surface coal mining and reclamation on ground water in small watersheds in the Allegheny Plateau, Ohio
Michael Eberle, A. C. Razem
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4205
The hydrologic effects of surface coal mining in unlimited areas is difficult to predict, partly because of a lack of adequate data collected before and after mining and reclamation. In order to help provide data to assess the effects of surface mining on the hydrology of small basins in the...

Effects of wastewater effluent on the South Platte River from Littleton to Denver
N.E. Spahr, S. R. Blakely
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4124
The U.S. Geological Survey 's one-dimensional steady-state water quality model was used to investigate the effects of the effluent from the Bi-City WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Plant) on the South Platte River. The Bi-City WWTP is operated by the Cities of Littleton and Englewood. The model was calibrated from a 14.5...
Controls on ground-water chemistry in the Horse Heaven Hills, south-central Washington
W.C. Steinkampf, Gilbert C. Bortleson, F. A. Packard
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4048
Miocene basaltic aquifers are the source of domestic and municipal water, and about 20,000 acre-feet of irrigation water annually, in the Horse Heaven Hills in south-central Washington State. Groundwater chemical variations derive from the hydraulic characteristics is of the geohydrologic system, from groundwater basalt reactions, and from irrigation. Some dissolved...
Geohydrology of the High Plains Aquifer, western Kansas
L.E. Stullken, Kenneth R. Watts, R. J. Lindgren
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4198
The High Plains aquifer underlies 174,050 sq mi of eight states (Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming) and contains approximately 3.3 billion acre-ft of water in storage. Saturated thicknesses within the aquifer are as great as 600 ft near the southern border of southwest Kansas....

Effects of high-rate wastewater spray disposal on the water-table aquifer, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
G. K. Speiran
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4291
A study by the U.S. Geological Survey from April 1982 through December 1983 evaluated the effects of high-rate disposal of treated wastewater on the water table aquifer, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Flooding of topographically low areas resulted from the application of 10.8 inches of wastewater in 10 days in...
Potential impacts of discharging tertiary-treated wastewater into Port Royal Sound, South Carolina
G. K. Speiran, D.L. Belval
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4326
An assessment of physical characteristics of Port Royal Sound was combined with the results of a dye tracer study and with data collected from a previous environmental study to describe the impact on the water quality from discharging tertiary treated wastewater into the sound. Calculated velocities for the time of...

Effects of surface mining on streamflow, suspended-sediment, and water quality in the Stony Fork drainage basin, Fayette County, Pennsylvania
D.E. Stump, T.M. Mastrilli
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4362
A study of the Stony Fork basin in southern Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from 1977 through 1980 determined the impacts of surface coal mining on surface-water quality. Stony Fork was sampled at six sites, during which time the area of surface mines increased from 0.5 to 5.5 percent of the study...

1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4299
A digital model of two-dimensional groundwater flow was used to estimate the hydraulic properties of the Edwards Aquifer in a 151 sq mi area near Austin, Texas. The transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, and specific yield were estimated for the part of the aquifer that discharges at Barton Springs in Austin. The...
