An evaluation of suspended sediments and turbidity in Cow Creek, Oregon
D. A. Curtiss
1982, Open-File Report 82-364
During a 6-month period from December 1980 through May 1981, samples were collected from Cow Creek near Azalea, Oreg., and analyzed for suspended sediment, particle-size distribution, and turbidity. Of the estimated suspended-sediment discharge of 4,270 tons for the 1981 water year, 95 percent (4,050 tons) was transported during a major...

V. J. Suits, K. J. Wenrich
1982, Open-File Report 82-203-B
Fifty-two stream-sediment samples, collected from an area south of Helena, Jefferson County, Montana, were sieved into two size fractions (<88 ?m, and between 88 and 149 ?m) and analyzed for 80 different chemical species. Of these species, 43 showed detectable variation over the area, 31 were subjected to correlation analysis...

The Benchmark Farm Program: A method for estimating irrigation water use in southwest Florida
A. D. Duerr, J.T. Trommer
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-17
Irrigation water-use data are summarized in this report for 74 farms in the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Most data are for 1978-90, but 18 farms have data extending back to the early 1970's. Data include site number and location, season and year, crop type, irrigation system, monitoring method, and...
Habitat Suitability Index models: White crappie
Elizabeth A. Edwards, Douglas A. Krieger, Glen Gebhart, O. Eugene Maughan
1982, FWS/OBS 82/10.7
The white crappie (Pomoxis annularis) is native to freshwater lakes and streams from the southern Great Lakes, west to Nebraska, south to Texas and Alabama, east to North Carolina, then west of the Appalachian Mountains to New York. It has been widely introduced outside this range throughout North America (Hubbs...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Slough darter

1982, FWS/OBS 82/10.9
The native range of the slough darter (Etheostoma gracile) extends from western Alabama (Smith-Vaniz 1968) to central Texas and northward in the lowland areas of the former Mississippi Embayment and the Interior Low Plateau to central Illinois (Collette 1962) and southwestern Indiana (Gerking 1945). Its distribution also includes southeast Kansas...

1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4015
The San Juan structural basin northwestern New Mexico was modeled in three dimensions using a finite-difference, steady-state model. The modeled space was divided into seven layers of square prisms that were 6 miles on a side in the horizontal directions. In the vertical direction, the layers of prisms ranged in...
Evaluation of the streamflow-data program in Pennsylvania
Herbert N. Flippo Jr.
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-21
The stream-gaging program in Pennsylvania is subject to budgetary constraints in the next several years. Elimination of those gaging stations that have no current-purpose use and little utility in providing regional flow-characteristic information is the most effective way to reduce costs. The efficient design of a network of gaging stations for obtaining regional information...
