Effects of surface coal-mine reclamation on stream quality in a small watershed near Nelsonville, southeastern Ohio
S. M. Hindall
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4179
Abandoned surface coal mines in southeastern Ohio have caused degradation of the area's water resources. A study began in 1981 to determine the effects of abandoned-mine reclamation on water quality in the 'Yost tract' near Nelsonville, Ohio. Data on streamflow, water quality, and sedimentation were collected in Yost Run before,...

January 1984 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
M.E. Pabst, B.J. Dague
1984, Open-File Report 84-613
Water-level measurements were made, mostly during January 1984, in about 1,450 wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data are...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Randolph County, Indiana
W.W. Lapham, L. D. Arihood
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4267
The two major aquifer systems in Randolph County, Indiana are sand and gravel and bedrock (limestone, dolomite, and shale of Silurian to Odovician age). The average thickness of the sands and gravels is 15 ft, and the aquifers are areally discontinuous. The bedrock aquifer underlies the entire study area and...
Estimates of dissolved and suspended substance yield of stream basins in Michigan
T. R. Cummings
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4288
Water-quality data collected at 20 stations in Michigan were used to develop regression equations relating loads of dissolved and suspended substances to discharge. These equations and mean daily discharge were used to estimate long-term loads, which then were converted to estimates of drainage basin yields. These yields were compared to...
Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in Indiana
D.R. Glatfelter
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4134
Equations are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods at ungaged sites on unregulated and nonurban streams in Indiana. The equations were developed by multiple-regression, analysis of basin characteristics and peak-flow statistical data from 242 gaged locations in Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. The State of Indiana was divided...
Floods of March 1982, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio
D.R. Glatfelter, G.K. Butch, J. A. Stewart
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4201
Rapid melting of a snowpack containing 2 to 6 inches of water equivalent coinciding with moderate rainfall caused flooding in March 1982 across northern Indiana, southern Michigan, and northwestern Ohio. Millions of dollars in property damage and the loss of four lives resulted from the flooding. Peak discharges at several...
Potential ground-water level changes in the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in response to proposed navigation improvements on the Yazoo River in Mississippi

This is one of a series of maps that describe the geology and related natural resources of the Nephi 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, Utah. Streamflow records used to compile this map were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of...
Cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Alaska
R. D. Lamke
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4096
This report documents the results of a study of the cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Alaska. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 110 continuous stream-gaging stations that were being operated in September 1983 with a budget of about $1,700,000 per year.However, for the purposes of the...

1984, Open-File Report 84-472
In the 1982-83 climatic years, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources, collected ground-water level data in Oklahoma from 1,087 sites in 77 counties. This report presents those data points....
Gazetteer of hydrologic characteristics of streams in Massachusetts — Blackstone River basin
S. W. Wandle, A. F. Phipps
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4286
The Blackstone River basin encompasses 335 square miles in south-central Massachusetts, including parts of Bristol, Middlesex, Norfolk, and Worcester Counties. Drainage areas, using the latest available 1:24,000 scale topographic maps, were computed for the first time for streams draining more than 3 square miles and were recomputed for data-collection sites....
