Quality of surface water before implementation of a flood-control project in Chaska, Minnesota
L. H. Tornes
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-83
Samples were collected for 1 year from East Creek, Chaska Creek, and Courthouse Lake in Chaska, Minnesota, to determine the water quality before implementation of a flood-control project proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The creeks had similar water-quality characteristics. Data indicate that ground water may be the...
Rainfall-runoff modeling and preliminary regional flood characteristics of small rural watersheds in the Arkansas River basin in Colorado
Russell K. Livingston
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-112
Both recorded and synthetic rainfall-runoff and annual peak-discharge data for 17 rural watersheds were analyzed to evaluate the magnitude, frequency, and volume of floods in the plains region of the Arkansas River basin in Colorado. Flood-frequency relations from analysis of recorded data were weighted or combined with flood-frequency relations from...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Madison County, Indiana
Wayne W. Lapham
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-35
The ground-water resources of the White River basin in and near Madison County, Indiana, were investigated by mapping the aquifers, estimating their hydraulic properties, determining the distribution of potentiometric head in the aquifers, and estimating some of the components of the ground-water budget from data collected in the field. This...
Water type and suitability of Oklahoma surface waters for public supply and irrigation; Part I, Arkansas river mainstem and Verdigris, Neosho, and Illinois river basins through 1978
Jerry D. Stoner
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-33
Water-quality data in the Arkansas River mainstem and the Verdigris, Neosho, and Illnois River basins are examined for water type and suitability for public water supply and for irrigation use. The classification of water type is based on the relation of the major ions -- calcium, magnesium, sodium, bicarbonate/carbonate, sulfate,...
Selected hydrologic relationships for Soldier Creek, northeastern Kansas
William J. Carswell Jr.
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-8
Hydrologic data from Soldier Creek basin were compared with relations from statewide data. The quantity and quality of streamflow were affected mostly by soils, slopes, and land use. Average annual precipitation during the study (196476) was 35.12 inches, or 2.3 percent greater than the long-term (1929-76) average. The average streamflow...
Erodibility of selected soils and estimates of sediment yields in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico
Rebecca M. Summer
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-44
Onsite rainfall-simulation experiments were conducted to derive field-erodibility indexes for rangeland soils and soils disturbed by mining in coal fields of northwestern New Mexico. Mean indexes on rangeland soils range from 0 grams (of detached soil) on dune soil to 121 grams on wash-transport zones. Mean field-erodibility-index values of soils...
Kriging analysis of mean annual precipitation, Powder River Basin, Montana and Wyoming
M.R. Karlinger, James A. Skrivan
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-50
Kriging is a statistical estimation technique for regionalized variables which exhibit an autocorrelation structure. Such structure can be described by a semi-variogram of the observed data. The kriging estimate at any point is a weighted average of the data, where the weights are determined using the semi-variogram and an assumed...
Surficial geophysical data for two cross-valley lines in the middle Eagle River valley, Alaska
Larry L. Dearborn, Donald H. Schaefer
1981, Open-File Report 80-2000
In 1979, six electrical resistivity and four seismic refraction soundings were made in the middle reach of the Eagle River valley northeast of Anchorage, Alaska. Interpretation of the geophysical data collected indicated that depth to bedrock below the valley floor varies between about 350 and 450 feet. Two, and perhaps...

Petrogenetic modeling of a potential uranium source rock, Granite Mountains, Wyoming
J. S. Stuckless, A.T. Miesch
1981, Professional Paper 1225
Previous studies of the granite of Lankin Dome have led to the conclusion that this granite was a source for the sandstone-type uranium deposits in the basins that surround the Granite Mountains, Wyo. Q-mode factor analysis of 29 samples of this granite shows that five bulk compositions are required to...
