Some chemical effects of the Mount St. Helens eruption on selected streams in the State of Washington
John M. Klein
1984, Circular 850-E
During several periods of volcanic-ash eruption at Mount St. Helens, Wash., (March 30, May 25-26, May 30-June 2, and June 12-13, 1980) strong winds from the north occurred at high altitudes. As a result, the volcanic ash fell some 50 miles to the south in the Bull Run watershed, the...
Analysis of characteristics of simulated flows from small surface-mined and undisturbed Appalachian watersheds in the Tug Fork basin of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia
A. G. Scott
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4151
Hydrologic and climatologic data were collected at 10 small, mined and unmined watersheds in the Tug Fork basin of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. These data included continuous records of discharge, precipitation, and air temperature. Daily records of sediment concentrations and sediment discharges were also obtained and periodic observations of...

Water levels and water-level changes in the Prairie du Chien-Jordan and Mount Simon-Hinckley aquifers, Twin Cities metropolitan area, Minnesota, 1971-80
Michael Schoenberg
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4237
The ground-water system in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area includes five aquifers; two of these aquifers the Prairie du Chien-Jordan and the Mount Simon-Hinckley supply about 80 percent and 10 percent, respectively, of the ground water pumped for public supply. Water levels and changes in water levels in these two...

Sediment yields in eastern Montana; summary of data and proposed techniques for estimating sediment yields from small, ungaged watersheds
J. H. Lambing
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4200
Sediment-yield data for 121 sites in eastern Montana have been compiled from results of studies conducted by various Federal, State, and private agencies. Methods used to determine mean annual sediment yields included reservoir sedimentation surveys, suspended-sediment sampling in streams, and estimates of gross erosion and indirect estimation based on physical...

Techniques for estimating flood hydrographs for ungaged urban watersheds
V.A. Stricker, V.B. Sauer
1984, Open-File Report 82-365
The Clark Method, modified slightly was used to develop a synthetic, dimensionless hydrograph which can be used to estimate flood hydrographs for ungaged urban watersheds. Application of the technique results in a typical (average) flood hydrograph for a given peak discharge. Input necessary to apply the technique is an estimate...
The Alaskan Mineral Resource Assessment Program: Guide to information contained in the folio of geologic and mineral-resource maps of the Medfra quadrangle, Alaska
William Wallace Patton, E. J. Moll, Harley D. King
1984, Circular 928
The Medfra quadrangle in west-central Alaska was investigated by a multidisciplinary team of geoscientists to assess its mineral resources. This Circular is intended to serve as a guide to a folio of 13 separate Open-File Reports covering various aspects of these investigations, including geology, bedrock and stream-sediment geochemistry, potassium-argon dating,...
Sediment transport by irrigation return flows in four small drains within the DID-18 drainage of the Sulphur Creek basin, Yakima County, Washington, April 1979 to October 1981
P. R. Boucher
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4167
Suspended sediment, water discharges, and water temperatures were monitored in four small drains in the DID-18 basin of the Sulphur Creek basin, a tributary to the Yakima River, Washington. Water outflow, inflow, and miscellaneous sites were also monitored. The information was used to evaluate the effectiveness of management practices in...

Quantity and quality of streamflow in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
K.L. Lindskov, Briant A. Kimball
1984, Water Supply Paper 2224
The southeastern Uinta Basin of Utah and Colorado includes an area of 3,000 square miles containing large oilshale deposits. Future mining and retorting of the oil shale in northeastern Utah is expected to impact the area's water resources. In order to determine premining conditions, streamflow and water-quality data were collected...
Potentiometric surface of the Floridan Aquifer, Southwest Florida Water Management District, May 1984

A May 1984 potentiometric surface map of the Southwest Florida Water Management District depicts the annual low water-level period. Water levels in most wells measured in May 1984 were lower than in September 1983. May levels averaged about 1 foot lower than September levels in areas north of latitude 28...
