Gravity, depth to consolidated rock, and soil temperature in the Elko area, northeastern Nevada
Donald H. Schaefer
1988, IMAP 1900
The Elko area, in northeastern Navada, lies in a northeast-trending structural valley that is filled with Quaternary deposits and Tertiary sedimentary rocks to a maximum depth of about 4,500 feet. The deepest part of the valley is centered west of Elko. The valley-fill deposits in the remainder of the valley...
Flood of May 26-27, 1984 in Tulsa, Oklahoma
DeRoy L. Bergman, Robert L. Tortorelli
1988, Hydrologic Atlas 707
The greatest flood disaster in the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma occurred during 8 hours from 2030 hours May 26 to 0430 hours May 27, 1984, as a result of intense rainfall centered over the metropolitan area. Storms of the magnitude that caused this flood are not uncommon to the southern...
Subsurface geology of Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic units in southeast Missouri
T. O. Mesko
1988, IMAP 1875
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a regional water-resources investigation of the Gulf Costal Plain, which includes all of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain of southeastern Missouri, locally known as the southeast lowlands. The purpose of the regional study is to describe and evaluate the major aquifer systems in sediments of...
The geochemical evolution of aqueous sodium in the Black Creek Aquifer, Horry and Georgetown counties, South Carolina
Allen L. Zack, Ivan Roberts
1988, Water Supply Paper 2324
The Black Creek aquifer contains dilute seawater near the North Carolina State line, probably the result of incomplete flushing of ancient seawater. Data do not indicate that the dilute seawater has migrated toward areas of fresh ground-water withdrawals. The concentration of chloride in ground-water samples ranges from 5 to 720...
Application of the two-film model to the volatilization of acetone and t-butyl alcohol from water as a function of temperature
R. E. Rathbun, D. Y. Tai
1988, Water Supply Paper 2318
The two-film model is often used to describe the volatilization of organic substances from water. This model assumes uniformly mixed water and air phases separated by thin films of water and air in which mass transfer is by molecular diffusion. Mass-transfer coefficients for the films, commonly called film coefficients, are...
Volatilization of benzene and eight alkyl-substituted benzene compounds from water
R. E. Rathbun, D. Y. Tai
1988, Water Supply Paper 2342
Predicting the fate of organic compounds in streams and rivers often requires knowledge of the volatilization characteristics of the compounds. The reference-substance concept, involving laboratory-determined ratios of the liquid-film coefficients for volatilization of the organic compounds to the liquid-film coefficient for oxygen absorption, is used to predict liquid-film coefficients for...
Manmade organic compounds in the surface waters of the United States; a review of current understanding
James A. Smith, P.J. Witkowski, Thomas V. Fusillo
1988, Circular 1007
This report reviews the occurrence and distribution of manmade organic compounds in the surface waters of the United States. On the basis of their aqueous solubilities, nonionic organic compounds partition themselves among water, dissolved organic matter, particulate organic matter, and the lipid reservoirs of aquatic organisms. Ionized organic compounds can...
Methods for delineating flood-prone areas in the Great Basin of Nevada and adjacent states
D. E. Burkham
1988, Water Supply Paper 2316
The Great Basin is a region of about 210,000 square miles having no surface drainage to the ocean; it includes most of Nevada and parts of Utah, California, Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming. The area is characterized by many parallel mountain ranges and valleys trending north-south. Stream channels usually are well...
Effect of water quality on survival of Lahontan cutthroat trout eggs in the Truckee River, west-central Nevada and eastern California
Ray J. Hoffman, Gary G. Scoppettone
1988, Water Supply Paper 2319
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has an ongoing program to assess the feasibility of reestablishing naturally spawning populations of Lahontan cutthroat trout in the Truckee River-Pyramid Lake system in Nevada. Previous in situ egg-survival studies have documented a 100 percent mortality of cutthroat trout eggs artificially planted in potential...
Leachate migration from an in-situ oil-shale retort near Rock Springs, Wyoming
Kent C. Glover
1988, Water Supply Paper 2322
Hydrogeologic factors influencing leachate movement from an in-situ oil-shale retort near Rock Springs, Wyoming, were investigated through models of ground-water flow and solute transport. Leachate, indicated by the conservative ion thiocyanate, has been observed ? mile downgradient from the retort. The contaminated aquifer is part of the Green River Formation...
Phytoplankton dynamics of the fresh, tidal Potomac River, Maryland, for the summers of 1979 to 1981
Ronald R.H. Cohen
1988, Water Supply Paper 2234-C
The distribution and abundance of phytoplankton in the fresh, tidal Potomac River, Md., was different during 1979-81 from that observed in the 1960's and 1970's. Concentrations of phytoplankton in the 1960's and 1970's reached maximum attainable levels that were limited only by self-shading. A sag in phytoplankton abundance, apparent during...
Quantitative assessment of the shallow ground-water flow system associated with Connetquot Brook, Long Island, New York
Keith R. Prince, O. Lehn Franke, Thomas E. Reilly
1988, Water Supply Paper 2309
Streamflow on Long Island is derived principally from shallow ground water that flows above the deeper regional flow system. The movement of shallow ground water was studied during 1975-82 at Connetquot Brook, an undisturbed stream in Connetquot River State Park, in south-central Long Island, New York. The investigation encompassed (1)...
Hydrology and ecology of the Apalachicola River, Florida : a summary of the river quality assessment
John F. Elder, Sherron D. Flagg, Harold C. Mattraw Jr.
1988, Water Supply Paper 2196-D
During 1979-81, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a large-scale study of the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida, the largest and one of the most economically important rivers in the State. Termed the Apalachicola River Quality Assessment, the study emphasized interrelations among hydrodynamics, the flood-plain forest, and the nutrient-detritus flow through...

Application of seismic-refraction techniques to hydrologic studies
F.P. Haeni
1988, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 02-D2
During the past 30 years, seismic-refraction methods have been used extensively in petroleum, mineral, and engineering investigations and to some extent for hydrologic applications. Recent advances in equipment, sound sources, and computer interpretation techniques make seismic refraction a highly effective and economical means of obtaining subsurface data in hydrologic...
