Denise A. Wiltshire, Margaret L. Evans
1984, Circular 923
This collection of 1660 bibliographies references on the causes and environmental effects of acidic atmospheric deposition was compiled from computerized literature searches of earth-science and chemistry data bases. Categories of information are (1) atmospheric chemistry (gases and aerosols), (2) precipitation chemistry, (3) transport and deposition (wet and dry), (4) aquatic...

Measured sections and discussion of the main turbidite member, Middle Pennsylvanian Minturn Formation, northern Sangre de Cristo Range, Custer and Saguache counties, Colorado
S. J. Soulliere, B.L. DeAngelis, D. A. Lindsey
1984, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1622-B
Turbidites are sediments deposited by turbid density currents. The turbidites described here are interpreted as prodelta deposits that formed in front of fan deltas and alluvial fans during the uplift of the ancestral Rocky Mountains in Pennsylvanian time. Laterally extensive, lenticular sand bodies deposited by turbidity flows crop out in...
Cost effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in northeastern California
S.H. Hoffard, V.F. Pearce, Gary D. Tasker, W.H. Doyle
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4127
Results are documented of a study of the cost effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in northeastern California. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 127 continuous stream gages currently being operated in the study area. One stream gage was found to have insufficient data use to warrant cooperative...
Floods of May 1978 in southeastern Montana and northeastern Wyoming
Charles Parrett, D.D. Carlson, G. S. Craig, E.H. Chin
1984, Professional Paper 1244
Heavy rain and some snow fell on previously saturated ground over southeastern Montana and northeastern Wyoming during May 16-19, 1978. The maximum amount of 7.60 inches within a 72-hour period observed at Lame Deer, Montana, set a record for the month of May in that region. Heavy flooding occurred in...

Evaluation of environmental factors affecting yields of major dissolved ions of streams in the United States
Norman E. Peters
1984, Water Supply Paper 2228
The seven major dissolved ions in streams-sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, sulfate, and bicarbonate and their sum dissolved solids from 56 basins in the conterminous United States and Hawaii were correlated with bedrock type, annual precipitation, population density, and average stream temperature of their respective basins through multiple linear-regression equations...
Use of the routing procedure to study dye and gas transport in the West Fork Trinity River, Texas
Harvey E. Jobson, R. E. Rathbun
1984, Water Supply Paper 2252
Rhodamine-WT dye, ethylene, and propane were injected at three sites along a 21.6-kilometer reach of the West Fork Trinity River below Fort Worth, Texas. Complete dye concentration versus time curves and peak gas concentrations were measured at three cross sections below each injection. The peak dye concentrations were located and...

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4088
A hydrologic study of the Dickson, Tennessee, area provided additional information on the occurrence of ground water in the Mississippian carbonate rocks of the western Highland Rim. Twenty-six test wells were drilled to determine the occurrence of ground water in relation to topographic position, regolith thickness, streamflow gains or losses,...

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4280
A two-dimensional, finite-element, digital model was developed for the Carmel Valley alluvial ground-water basin using measured, computed, and estimated discharge and recharge data for the basin. Discharge data included evapotranspiration by phreatophytes and agricultural, municipal, and domestic pumpage. Recharge data included river leakage, tributary runoff, and pumping return flow. Recharge...
Impact of development on availability and quality of ground water in eastern Nassau County, Florida, and southeastern Camden County, Georgia
D.P. Brown
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4190
The primary sources of water in the area are from the surficial and Floridan aquifers. The surficial aquifer, consisting of thin permeable zones of sand, shell, and limestone, provides limited water supplies (10-50 gallons per minute). Its estimated transmissivity ranges from less than 100 to 10,000 feet squared per day....
