Groundwater from more than 100 sites in the Puget Sound region, Washington, was sampled and analyzed in 1981 for pH, specific conductance, and concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria, major ions, and dissolved iron, manganese, and nitrate. 20% of the samples were analyzed for concentrations of dissolved trace metals including aluminum,...
Comparison of flood frequency estimates from synthetic and observed data on small drainage areas in Mississippi
B.E. Colson
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4034
In 1964 the U.S. Geological Survey in Mississippi expanded the small stream gaging network for collection of rainfall and runoff data to 92 stations. To expedite availability of flood frequency information a rainfall-runoff model using available long-term rainfall data was calibrated to synthesize flood peaks. Results obtained from observed annual...

Patricia L. Hill
1986, Open-File Report 86-525-D
Bibliographies and location maps of selected publications containing aeromagnetic and/or aeroradiometric data have been compiled for each state. These state indexes have been grouped together to form seven open-file reports: four for the conterminous United States (see index map below), one for Alaska and Hawaii, one for Puerto Rico and...
Traveltime and dispersion of a soluble dye in the South Branch Potomac River, Petersburg to Green Spring, West Virginia
A. R. Jack
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4167
Traveltime studies, using rhodamine dyes, were made in 1970 and 1982 on the South Branch Potomac River from Petersburg, West Virginia, to the confluence with the North Branch Potomac River at Green Spring, West Virginia. Flow duration at the time of the studies was approximately 32% in November 1970 and...
Estimating magnitude and frequency of floods for Wisconsin urban streams
D.H. Conger
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4005
Equations for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods for Wisconsin streams with drainage basins containing various amounts of existing or projected urban development were developed by flood-frequency and multiple-regression analyses. Multiple-regression techniques were used to develop equations for estimating flood frequencies at ungaged urban sites. The flood-frequency equations are based on...

Data concerning salinity, phosphorus, and trace elements in streams and springs within the Green River Basin in Wyoming are summarized. Relative contributions of salinity are shown through estimates of annual loads and average concentrations at 11 water quality measurements sites for the 1970-77 water years. A hypothetical diversion of 20...
