Sergio Garza
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4026
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' plan to control the natural chloride pollution in the Wichita River basin includes the construction of Truscott Brine Lake on a tributary of the North Wichita River. In connection with the proposed brine lake, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to: (1) Define the...
Front-tracking model for convective transport in flowing ground water
S. P. Garabedian, Leonard F. Konikow
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4034
A finite-difference numerical model that simulates the convective transport of water or tracer particles through porous media is described. It can be applied to one- or two-dimensional problems involving either steady-state or transient flow. The model tracks representative water or tracer particles, initially located along specified lines, as they move...
Ground-water resources of coastal Citrus, Hernando, and southwestern Levy counties, Florida
J. D. Fretwell
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4079
Ground water in the coastal parts of Citrus, Hernando, and Levy Counties is obtained almost entirely from the Floridan aquifer. The aquifer is unconfined near the coast and semiconfined in the ridge area. Transmissivity ranges from 20,000 feet squared per day in the ridge area to greater than 2,000,000 feet...
Biogeochemical sampling in the Mahd Adh Dhahab District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

1983, Open-File Report 83-330
A biogeochemical reconnaissance of the Mahd adh Dhahab district, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, confirms the ability of deep-rooted Acacia trees to reflect bedrock concentrations of some trace elements. The analytical values for lead, zinc, selenium, and cadmium in ash of tree branches are significantly higher in samples from areas of...

A summary of ground-water pumpage in the Central Valley, California, 1961-77
Jonathan Diamond, A. K. Williamson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4037
In the Central Valley of California, a great agricultural economy has been developed in a semiarid environment. This economy is supported by imported surface water and 9 to 15 million acre-feet per year of ground water. Estimates of ground-water pumpage computed from power consumption have been compiled and summarized. Under...
Hydrologic conditions in the Wheatland Flats area, Platte County, Wyoming
M. A. Crist
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4047
The area includes about 260 square miles in central Platte County that consists of Wheatland Flats and a border region. Wheatland Flats is an area of about 100 square miles that is bounded by Chugwater Creek on the east, the Laramie River on the north, and Sybille Creek on the...

1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4255
Primary productivity by phytoplankton was measured on samples collected from the Potomac Tidal River, Maryland. The studies were performed monthly from May 1980 to September 1981. Additional studies were done once a week in August 1980, twice a week from August 4 to 8, 1980 and twice in September 1980....
Improvement of flood-frequency estimates for selected small watersheds in eastern Kansas using a rainfall-runoff model

1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4110
The U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff model was used to estimate model parameters for 13 small watersheds in eastern Kansas with drainage areas of less than 11 square miles. Model parameters and rainfall data from three long-term rainfall stations were used in the model to synthesize long-term records of simulated annual...
