Description and effects of 1988 drought on ground-water levels, streamflow, and reservoir levels in Indiana
K. K. Fowler
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4100
Documentation of the 1988 drought in Indiana was undertaken to aid water-management agencies and planners concerned with periods of below-normal precipitation and their effect on commercial, agricultural, and residential water use. Precipitation, temperature, Palmer Drought Severity Indices, and ground- and surface-water levels from water years 1988 and 1989 were compared...

Methods of analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory-Determination of the total phosphorus by a Kjeldahl digestion method and an automated colorimetric finish that includes dialysis
Charles J. Patton, Earl P. Truitt
1992, Open-File Report 92-146
A method to determine total phosphorus (TP) in the same digests prepared for total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) determinations is desribed. The batch, high-temperature (block digester), HG(II)-catalyzed digestion step is similar to U.S. Geological Survey methods I-2552-85/I-4552-85 and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency method 365.4 except that sample and reagent volumes...

This report was prepared in cooperation with the Fort Bend Subsidence District, and presents data on water-level changes during 1991-92 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifer (fig. 1-2) in Fort Bend County. Water-level change maps were prepared previously by Locke (1990),and Locke and Barbie (1991), for both aquifers, and by...
Accounting System for Water Use by Vegetation in the Lower Colorado River Valley
Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
1992, Open-File Report 92-83
The Colorado River is the principal source of water in the valley of the Colorado River between Hoover Dam and the international boundary with Mexico (fig. 1). Agricultural, domestic, municipal, industrial, hydroelectric-power genera-tion, and recreation are the primary uses of river water in the valley. Most of the consumptive use...
Geology and Stream Infiltration of North Halawa Valley, Oahu, Hawaii
Scot K. Izuka
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4197
A geohydrologic investigation of North Halawa Valley, Oahu, Hawaii, and its stream was undertaken in response to concern that runoff from the H-3 highway draining into the stream might seep into the ground and seriously contaminate potable water pumped at a nearby skimming well. North Halawa Stream flows over highly weathered...
Water resources and aquifer yields in the Charles River basin, Massachusetts

R.J. Mandle, A.L. Kontis
1992, Professional Paper 1405-C
A six-State area in the northern Midwest of the United States has become increasingly dependent on ground water from the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system, which consists of a sequence of sandstones, carbonate rocks, and shales. Ground-water withdrawals from the aquifer system began in the late 1800's and increased to approximately 684...
