An application of a vulnerability index to oil spill modeling in the Gulf of Mexico
R.P. LaBelle, Gail Rainey, K.J. Lanfear
1982, Open-File Report 82-804
An analysis was made of the relative impact to the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico from proposed Federal Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas leasing activity. An oil spill trajectory model was coupled with a land segment vulnerability characterization to predict the risks to the shoreline. Such a technique...
Sketch maps showing areal extent, thickness and amount of commercial-quality peat in deposits of southern and western Maine
C. C. Cameron, M.K. Mullen
1982, Open-File Report 82-184
Peat deposits in southern and western Maine were investigated for their estimated potential as peat resources suitable for energy, horticultural, and agricultural uses. Fifty-six sketch maps illustrate the areal extent, thickness, and amount of commercial-quality peat. The total yield is estimated at 27,736,400 short tons air-dried peat....
Geohydrologic data from sandstone aquifers in southwestern Kansas
Jack Kume, Joseph M. Spinazola
1982, Open-File Report 82-868
Data collected during a reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrology of sandstone aquifers provide useful information in the study of, and planning for, water-resources development in a 17,400 square-mile area in 26 counties of southwestern Kansas. The aquifers consist chiefly of saturated sandstones that occur in Upper Permian, Upper...
Quality of surface waters in Wilton, Connecticut
K.P. Kulp
1982, Open-File Report 82-260
Water, bed material, and biological samples were collected and analyzed at 10 surface-water gaging sites on six streams in the town of Wilton, Connecticut over a 2-year period. The data indicate fair to excellent water quality. Fecal coliform bacteria, pH, alkalinity, iron, and manganese are the parameters that most often...
Support by the U.S. Geological Survey for adjudications, compacts, and treaties
Alberto Condes de la Torre
1982, Open-File Report 82-680
The U.S. Geological Survey supports interstate compacts, treaties, and court decrees by providing hydrologic data and analysis needed in their administration and by providing Federal representation on compact commissions. As part of this program, in fiscal year 1982 the Geological Survey operated 171 streamflow stations, 3 sediment stations, and 13...
Statistical summaries of water-quality data for two coal areas of Jackson County, Colorado
Gerhard Kuhn
1982, Open-File Report 82-121
Statistical summaries of water-quality data are compiled for eight streams in two separate coal areas of Jackson County, Colo. The quality-of-water data were collected from October 1976 to September 1980. For inorganic constituents, the maximum, minimum, and mean concentrations, as well as other statistics are presented; for minor elements, only...
Reconnaissance water-balance study of Lake Gregory, California
C.E. McConaughy
1982, Open-File Report 82-367
A study was made to determine the magnitude and distribution of the surface-water inflow and outflow (water balance) of the Lake Gregory basin in southern California. Data were collected from April 1979 through June 1981. Runoff during the study period varied greatly with the majority of inflow occurring between December...
The evaluation of selected one-dimensional stream water quality models with field data
Steve C. McCutcheon
1982, Open-File Report 82-851
The U.S. Geological Survey One-Dimensional Stream Water-Quality Model, QUAL II Stream Water-Quality Routing Model, the U.S. Army corps of Engineers Water Quality for River Reservoir Systems Model, and the M.I.T. Transient Water Quality Network were evaluated and compared using actual water-quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. The field...
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Michigan basin, Wisconsin
B. K. Holmstrom
1982, Open-File Report 81-1193
Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Lake Michigan basin are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 30 gaging stations, flow duration at 13 gaging stations, and selected low-flow frequency characteristics at 22 low-flow partial-record stations and 123 miscellaneous sites. Equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at sites...
The economic feasibility of operational earth sensing from space
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1982, Open-File Report 82-250
Earth-sensing satellites designed to follow Landsat involve spatial resolution in the order of 10 to 30 m as compared to the 80 m of the Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS). At these higher resolutions such satellites will perform inspection functions of high importance to government agencies and which are beyond the...
Results of an aquifer test near Lynndyl, Utah
Walter F. Holmes, Dale E. Wilberg
1982, Open-File Report 82-514
An aquifer test was conducted near Lynndyl, Utah, to determine the hydraulic characteristics of a deep artesian aquifer and its associated confining bed. A well completed in the aquifer was pulped continuously for 25 days and measurements of drawdown and recovery were made in 34 observation wells located within a...
Selected hydrologic and climatologic data from the Prairie Dog Creek basin, southeastern Montana, water year 1980
L. E. Cary, J.D. Johnson
1982, Open-File Report 82-273
Hydrologic and climatologic data are being collected in a 25-square-mile (65-square-kilometer) basin in southeastern Montana to provide a base for development, calibration, and verification of a precipitation-runoff model. The study area and data-collection stations within the area are shown on a map. A summary of data collected at each station...
Digital model evaluation of the predevelopment flow system of the Tertiary limestone aquifer, Southeast Georgia, Northeast Florida, and South South Carolina
Richard E. Krause
1982, Open-File Report 82-173
A computer model using finite-difference techniques was used successfully to simulate the predevelopment flow regime within the multilayered Tertiary limestone aquifer system in Southeastern Georgia, Northeastern Florida, and Southern South Carolina as part of the U.S. Geological Survey 's Tertiary Limestone Regional Aquifer System analysis. The aquifer, of early Eocene...
