Geochemical controls on dissolved sodium in basalt aquifers of the Columbia Plateau, Washington
P.P. Hearn, W.C. Steinkampf, Gilbert C. Bortleson, B. W. Drost
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4304
Miocene basaltic aquifers of the Columbia Plateau are the principal source of water for agricultural, domestic, and municipal use in Washington State. Irrigation with groundwaters with relatively high sodium concentrations has been cause for concern in recent years, because of the tendency of such waters to reduce soil permeability. Chemical...

Ground-water levels in the Columbia River basalt and overlying materials, spring 1983, southeastern Washington
H. H. Bauer, John J. Vaccaro, R. C. Lane
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4360
A 2 1/2-year study of the Columbia Plateau in Washington was begun in March 1982 to define spatial and temporal variations in dissolved sodium in aquifers of the Columbia River Basalt Group and to relate these variations to the groundwater system and its geologic framework. This report is part of...
Relation between ground-water quality and mineralogy in the coal-producing Norton Formation of Buchanan County, Virginia
John D. Powell, Jerry D. Larson
1985, Water Supply Paper 2274
The geochemical processes controlling ground-water chemistry in the coal-producing strata of southwestern Virginia include hydrolysis of silicates, dissolution of carbonates, oxidation of pyrite, cation exchange, and precipitation of secondary minerals, kaolinite and goethite. Core material from the Norton Formation of the Pennsylvania Period is composed of slightly more than one-half...
Stratigraphic framework of the upper Fort Union Formation, TA Hills, Western Powder River basin, Wyoming
Jean N. Weaver, Romeo M. Flores
1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1779
The purpose of this study is to interpret a relationship between the stratigraphy and the environment of deposition of the upper part of the Fort Union Formation in the TA Hills in the western part of the Powder River Basin, Johnson County, Wyoming. This framework was used to map and...
Analyses of flood-flow frequency for selected gaging stations in South Dakota
R.D. Benson, E.B. Hoffman, V.J. Wipf
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4217
Analyses of flood flow frequency were made for 111 continuous-record gaging stations in South Dakota with 10 or more years of record. The analyses were developed using the log-Pearson Type III procedure recommended by the U.S. Water Resources Council. The procedure characterizes flood occurrence at a single site as a...
Effects of low-level dams on the distribution of sediment, trace metals, and organic substances in the lower Schuylkill River basin, Pennsylvania
Thomas H. Yorke, John K. Stamer, Gary L. Pederson
1985, Water Supply Paper 2256-B
Heavy use of the Schuylkill River for municipal water supplies and a history of accidental spills and discharges of trace metals and organic substances have been a concern of State and local officials for many years. The U.S. Geological Survey, as part of their River Quality Assessment Program, developed a...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Kishwaukee River basin, Illinois
Howard E. Allen Jr., Ellen A. Cowan
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4311
Seven-day, 2-year, and 7-day, 10-year natural low flows are estimated at five continuous-record gaging stations based on streamflow records and records of wastewater effluent furnished by treatment plants. Low flows are also estimated at 22 partial-record stations by relating natural low-flow estimates for long-term stations to discharge measurements at partial-record...
