Donald F. Boesch, editor(s)
1982, FWS/OBS 82/59
This volume contains 16 papers and panel discussions from a conference held in Baton Rouge, La., 5-6 October 1981. The presentations consider the causes and consequences of coastal erosion and wetland modification in Louisiana and the mitigative options available to slow or reverse the rapid rate of coastal land loss....
Time of travel of selected Arkansas streams
T.E. Lamb
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4048
Between 1971 and 1981, time-of-travel and dispersion measurements were made in 15 streams in Arkansas. Most of the streams studied were at or near base flow. Graphs are presented for predicting traveltime of solutes in segments of the streams studied. The relationship of time of passage and peak unit concentration...
Verification of step-backwater computations on ephemeral streams in northeastern Wyoming
Stanley A. Druse
1982, Water Supply Paper 2199
Step-backwater computations were verified by subsequent discharge measurements at three ephemeral streamflow stations in northeastern Wyoming. The standard step-backwater method for gradually varied, subcritical flow was used in computing the water-surface profiles and stage-discharge ratings. Step-backwater computations were made at selected intervals from I through 1,000 cubic feet per second...
Evaluation of sediment yield and sediment data-collection network in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado
J. E. Kircher, Paul Von Guerard
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4046
Statistical relationships were developed between suspended-sediment discharge and several regional factors of climate, physiography, and land use in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the existing sediment collection network, especially in regard to detecting changes in suspended-sediment discharge due to the development in...

Assessment of undiscovered conventionally recoverable petroleum resources of the Arabian-Iranian Basin
Charles D. Masters, H. Douglas Klemme, Anny B. Coury
1982, Circular 881
The estimates of undiscovered conventionally recoverable petroleum resources in the Arabian-Iranian basin at probability levels of 95 percent, 5 percent, and statistical mean are for oil (in billions of barrels): 72, 337, and 174; and for gas (in trillions of cubic feet): 299, 1792, and 849. The occurrence of petroleum...
Quality of streams in the Bull Mountains region, south-central Montana
J. R. Knapton
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-2
In October 1977, water-quality monitoring stations were established on five small streams that drain the Bull Mountains and also on the Musselshell River to document present water-quality conditions in a coal area of south-central Montana. Relatively static water-quality conditions exist throughout the annual flow cycle on the small streams but...

Results of deep-well injection testing at Mulberry, Florida
John J. Hickey, W.E. Wilson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-75
At the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation plant, Mulberry, Fla., high-chloride, acidic liquid wastes are injected into a dolomite section at depths below about 4,000 feet below land surface. In 1975, a satellite monitor well was drilled 2,291 feet from the injection well and a series of three injection tests...

Model modifications for simulation of flow through stratified rocks in eastern Ohio
J. O. Helgesen, A. C. Razem, S. P. Larson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4019
A quasi three-dimensional groundwater flow model is being used as part of a study to determine impacts of coal-strip mining on local hydrologic systems. Modifications to the model were necessary to simulate local hydrologic conditions properly. Perched water tables required that the method of calculating vertical flow rate be changed....
Determination of irrigation pumpage in parts of Kearny and Finney Counties, southwestern Kansas
R. J. Lindgren
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4011
Irrigation pumpage was determined for parts of Kearny and Finney Counties in Southwestern Kansas using crop-acreage data and consumptive, irrigation-water requirements. Irrigated acreages for 1974-80 were compiled for wheat, grain sorghum, corn, and alfalfa using records from the U.S. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Consumptive-irrigation requirements were computed using a...

Upper Cretaceous subsurface stratigraphy and structure of coastal Georgia and South Carolina
Page C. Valentine
1982, Professional Paper 1222
Upper Cretaceous subsurface stratigraphy and structure of coastal Georgia and South Carolina is based on the study of 24 wells along two transects, one extending across the seaward-dipping sedimentary basin termed the 'Southeast Georgia Embayment' northeastward to the crest of the Cape Fear Arch, and the other alined east-west, parallel...

Hydrology of the low-level radioactive solid waste burial site and vicinity near Barnwell, South Carolina
James M. Cahill
1982, Open-File Report 82-863
Geologic and hydrologic conditions at a burial site for low-level radioactive waste were studied, and migration of leachates from the buried waste into surrounding unconsolidated sediments were evaluated. The burial site and vicinity are underlain by a sequence of unconsolidated sediments of Late Cretaceous, Tertiary, and Quaternary age. These sediments...
