1983, Open-File Report 83-640
Harrat Rahat, an extensive plateau of Cenozoic mafic lava on the Precambrian shield of western Saudi Arabia, has been studied for its water resource and geothermal potential. In support of these investigations, the thickness of the lava sequence at more than 300 points was estimated by spectral analysis of low-level...

Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the principal ground-water reservoir of the Sevier Desert, Utah
W. F. Holmes
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4179
The principal ground-water reservoir in part of the Sevier Desert, Utah was modeled using a three-dimensional finite-difference model. The model was calibrated by comparing computed and observed water-level measurements in 1952, simulating results of aquifer tests, and simulating ground-water withdrawals during 1952-81 and comparing computed water-level changes during 1952-82 to...
Use of digital land-cover data from the Landsat satellite in estimating streamflow characteristics in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee
E. F. Hollyday, G.R. Hansen
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4059
Streamflow may be estimated with regression equations that relate streamflow characteristics to characteristics of the drainage basin. A statistical experiment was performed to compare the accuracy of equations using basin characteristics derived from maps and climatological records (control group equations) with the accuracy of equations using basin characteristics derived from...

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....

1983, Open-File Report 83-300-A
The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory;...
Quality of surface water in the coal-mining region, southwestern Indiana, October 1979 to September 1980
D.E. Renn
1983, Open-File Report 83-680
The U.S. Geological Survey collected water-quality and other hydrologic data for surface water in the coal-mining region of southwestern Indiana. These data were collected at 85 sites in 19 counties during October 1979 and at 21 of the 85 sites in 12 of the 19 counties monthly from January through...
Selected hydrologic data, Kolob-Alton-Kaiparowits coal-fields area, south-central Utah
Gerald G. Plantz
1983, Open-File Report 83-871
The Kolob-Alton-Kaiparowits coal-field area (pi. 1) includes about 4,500 square miles in parts of the Colorado River Basin and the Great Basin. The area varies in altitude from less than 4,000 to more than 10,000 feet, and is comprised chiefly of plateaus, benches, and terraces that are dissected by deep,...
Backwater and discharge at highway crossings with multiple bridges in Louisiana and Mississippi
B.E. Colson, V.R. Schneider
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4065
Data were collected for nine floods in Mississippi and Louisiana at eight stream crossings having two to six separate bridge openings. Discharge through each bridge, water surface profiles, valley cross sections, and bridge geometry were measured. The multiple openings were divided into equivalent single-opening cases by apportioning interior embankments in...

Estimation of nonpoint source loadings of phosphorus for lakes in the Puget Sound region, Washington
Robert J. Gilliom
1983, Water Supply Paper 2240
Control of eutrophication of lakes in watersheds undergoing development is facilitated by estimates of the amounts of phosphorus (P) that reach the lakes from areas under various types of land use. Using a mass-balance model, the author calculated P loadings from present-day P concentrations measured in lake water and from...
Initial assessment of time of travel and mixing through Gulf Island Pond and the lower Androscoggin River, Maine

Flow-stratification patterns were observed in Gulf Island Pond during time-of-travel studies in May and August 1980. The stratification patterns in this 70 million cubic-meter impoundment were due to a temperature differences between inflowing water and reservoir water. Separation was observed at temperature differences of 0.5 degrees C in May 1980...
