Assessment of water resources at Fort Carson Military Reservation near Colorado Springs, Colorado
G.J. Leonard
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4270
The Fort Carson Military Reservation adjoins the rapidly growning Colorado Springs metropolitan area, where locally available water supplies are limited and strictly administered. Fort Carson purchases about 3,400 acre-feet of treated water annually from the city of Colorado Springs. The major streams entering Fort Carson have an estimated average annual...
Availability of natural and regulated streamflows for instream uses during historical droughts, lower Neosho River, southeastern Kansas
R. J. Hart, T. C. Stiles
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4292
The effects of three historical droughts on streamflows available for instream use on the lower Neosho River at Iola and Parsons, Kansas, were investigated. Natural streamflows that occurred during the three droughts were compared to the multiple-use and water-quality streamflows recommended by State agencies. A reservoir model was used to...
Estimates of long-term suspended-sediment loads in Bay Creek at Nebo, Pike County, Illinois, 1940-80

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4003
Five years of daily suspended-sediment discharges (1968, 1969, 1975, 1976, and 1980) for Bay Creek at Nebo, Illinois, computed from once- or twice-weekly samples (more often during storm events), were used to develop transport equations that can be used to estimate long-term suspended-sediment discharges from long-term water-discharge records. Discharge was...
Reconnaissance evaluation of contamination in the alluvial aquifer in the East Poplar oil field, Roosevelt County, Montana
G. W. Levings
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4174
Water moving from north to south in the alluvial aquifer of the Poplar River valley becomes contaminated with sodium chloride in the area underlain by the East Poplar oil fields. Four types of ground water were identified in the study area. Type 1 is sodium bicarbonate water. Type 2 is...
Chemical and biological quality of streams at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana, 1978-80
M. A. Hardy
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4208
A variety of land uses affects water quality of streams at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Discharge from storm sewers and runoff from roads contributed lead, zinc, and chlorinated hydrocarbons (chlordane, DOT, ODD, DDE, and PCB's) to all streams except Derby ditch. In addition, the Little Calumet River received ammonia...
Evaluation of the potential for artificial ground-water recharge in eastern San Joaquin County, California — Phase 2
R. L. Ireland
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4207
In response to the increasing demand on water supplies and declining water levels in eastern San Joaquin County, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, is evaluating the potential for artificially recharging the aquifer system in eastern San Joaquin County,...
Water-data program of the US Geological Survey in Kansas, fiscal year 1983
R.K. Livingston, K.D. Medina
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4306
The U.S. Geological Survey is the principal Federal agency responsible for the collection of hydrologic data needed for the planning, development, use, and management of the water resources in Kansas. Hydrologic-data collection by the U.S. Geological Survey in Kansas began in 1895. The fiscal-year 1983 water-data program, operated in cooperation...
Geologic and hydrologic characterization and evaluation of the Basin and Range Province relative to the disposal of high-level radioactive waste: Part I, Introduction and guidelines
M. S. Bedinger, Kenneth A. Sargent, J.E. Reed
1984, Circular 904-A
The U.S. Geological Survey's program for geologic and hydrologic evaluation of physiographic provinces to identify areas potentially suitable for locating repository sites for disposal of high-level nuclear wastes was announced to the Governors of the eight States in the Basin and Range Province on May 5, 1981. Representatives of Arizona,...
Cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Iowa
I.L. Burmeister, O. G. Lara
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4171
This report documents the results of a study of the cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Iowa. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 122 surface-water stations (including reservoir, lake, stage only, and miscellaneous stations) operated by the U. S. Geological Survey in Iowa. There are 110 continuous...
An overview of ground-water quality data in Wisconsin
Phil A. Kammerer Jr.
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4239
This report contains a summary of ground-water-quality data for Wisconsin and an evaluation of the adequacy of these data for assessing the impact of land disposal of wastes on ground-water quality. Chemical analyses used in data summaries were limited to those stored in the USGS computer system (WATSTORE). Information on...

Preliminary estimate of possible flood elevations in the Columbia River at Trojan Nuclear Power Plant due to failure of debris dam blocking Spirit Lake, Washington
D. L. Kresch, Antonius Laenen
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4197
Failure of the debris dam, blocking the outflow of Spirit Lake near Mount St. Helens, could result in a mudflow down the Toutle and Cowlitz Rivers into the Columbia River. Flood elevations at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant on the Columbia River, 5 mi upstream from the Cowlitz River, were...
