Donna L. Belval, Jean P. Campbell, Scott W. Phillips, Clifton F. Bell
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4258
Development in the Chesapeake Bay region has adversely affected the water quality of the Bay. The general degradation in the Bay has resulted in the decline of commercial fishing industries and has reduced the area of aquatic vegetation that provides food and habitat for fish and shellfish. In order to...
Geohydrology of the Gallup's Quarry area, Plainfield, Connecticut
Robert L. Melvin, Janet Radway Stone, Patrick A. Craft, John W. Lane Jr.
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4138
The geohydrology of the Gallup's Quarry area in Plainfield, Connecticut was characterized by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to provide a preliminary framework for future remedial efforts. Gallup's Quarry, an inactive sand and gravel pit, was the site of unregulated disposal of an...

Documented and potential extreme peak discharges and relation between potential extreme peak discharges and probable maximum flood peak discharges in Texas
William H. Asquith, Raymond M. Slade Jr.
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4249
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation, conducted a study of extreme flood potential for Texas. Potential extreme peak discharges, derived from the relation between documented extreme peak discharges and their contributing drainage areas, can provide valuable information concerning the maximum expected peak discharge that...
Contamination of wells completed in the Roubidoux aquifer by abandoned zinc and lead mines, Ottawa County, Oklahoma
Scott C. Christenson
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4150
The Roubidoux aquifer in Ottawa County Oklahoma is used extensively as a source of water for public supplies, commerce, industry, and rural water districts. Water in the Roubidoux aquifer in eastern Ottawa County has relatively low dissolved-solids concentrations (less than 200 mg/L) with calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate as the major...
Water resources of the Bad River Indian Reservation, northern Wisconsin
W. G. Batten, R.A. Lidwin
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4207
Water-resources data were collected in the Bad River Indian Reservation of northern Wisconsin from 1983 through 1987. Some data are interpreted to describe ground-water flow, groundwater quality, streamflow, and surface-water quality. Data also are presented in tables and appendixes for baseline reference. Precambrian sandstone and basalt underlie varying thicknesses of sandy...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in Arkansas
Scott A. Hodge, Gary D. Tasker
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4224
Methods are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges of streams in Arkansas. Regression analyses were developed in which a stream's physical and flood characteristics were related. Four sets of regional regression equations were derived to predict peak discharges with selected recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10,...
Water resources of Teton County, Wyoming, exclusive of Yellowstone National Park
