Humic substances in the Suwannee River, Georgia; interactions, properties, and proposed structures
R. C. Averett, J.A. Leenheer, Diane M. McKnight, K. A. Thorn, editor(s)
1989, Open-File Report 87-557
Humic substances as a collective term and humic and fulvic acids as specific terms are not household words. For about a century, these terms belonged to the domain of the soil scientist. Even^though their chemical structures remained elusive, they were recognized as important entities in soil. During the past decade...
Analytical solutions for one-, two-, and three-dimensional solute transport in ground-water systems with uniform flow
Eliezer J. Wexler
1989, Open-File Report 89-56
Analytical solutions to the advective-dispersive solute-transport equation are useful in predicting the fate of solutes in ground water. Analytical solutions compiled from available literature or derived by the author are presented in this report for a variety of boundary condition types and solute-source configurations in one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems...

Water supply and demand in Sedgwick County, Kansas
Hugh E. Bevans
1989, Open-File Report 88-711
Water supplies in Sedgwick County, Kansas, are derived from surface--and groundwater resources. During 1985, public supply, irrigation, and self-supplied industry required 38% of the 56 ,500 acre-ft of appropriated surface water and 57% of the 187 ,800 acre-ft of appropriated groundwater. If the historic (1920-80) annual population growth rate (2.8%)...

1989, Water Data Report IN-88-1
Water resources data for the 1988 water year for Indiana consist of records of discharge, stage, and water quality of streams and wells; reservoir stage and contents; and water levels in lakes and wells. This report contains records of discharge for 176 stream-gaging stations, stage for 4 stream stations, stage and contents for...
Geochemistry of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system in the northern Midwest, United States: D in Regional aquifer-system analysis
D. I. Siegel
1989, Professional Paper 1405-D
Distributions of solutes in aquifers of Cambrian and Ordovician age were studied in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, northwestern Indiana, and northern Missouri to determine the sources of solutes and the probable chemical mechanisms that control regional variations in water quality. This work is part of the Northern Midwest Regional Aquifer-System...

Hydraulic characteristics of the New River in the New River Gorge National River, West Virginia
J.B. Wiley, David H. Appel
1989, Open-File Report 89-243
Traveltime, dispersion, water-surface and streambed profiles, and cross-section data were collected for use in application of flow and solute-transport models to the New River in the New River Gorge National River, West Virginia. Dye clouds subjected to increasing and decreasing flow rates (unsteady flow) showed that increasing flows shorten the...
National assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources, USGS-MMS working paper
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, Minerals Management Service
1989, Open-File Report 88-373
In 1981, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published the results of a 1980 national assessment of undiscovered oil and natural gas resources for the United States, including the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The publication, USGS Circular 860, was entitled "Estimates of Undiscovered Recoverable Conventional Resources of Oil and Gas in...
Debris flows from tributaries of the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Robert H. Webb, Patrick T. Pringle, Glenn R. Rink
1989, Professional Paper 1492
A reconnaissance of 36 tributaries of the Colorado River indicates that debris flows are a major process by which sediment is transported to the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. Debris flows are slurries of sediment and water that have a water content of less than about 40 percent...
Tectonically controlled fan delta and submarine fan sedimentation of late Miocene age, southern Temblor Range, California
Robert T. Ryder, Alan Thomson
1989, Professional Paper 1442
The Santa Margarita Formation in the southern Temblor Range, composed of conglomerate and subordinate sandstone, evolved as a large complex of fan deltas and submarine fans in late Miocene time. An 80 to 90-m.y.-old granitic basement of the Salinian block and an accompanying 23.5-m.y.-old volcanic field now located in the...

Effects of controlled agricultural practices on water quality in the Minnesota sand-plain aquifer
H. W. Anderson Jr., J.D. Stoner
1989, Open-File Report 89-267
Recent studies of Minnesota's sand plains indicate that ground-water chemistry is related to agricultural practices. Surficial sand-plain aquifers cover 8,000,000 acres of Minnesota and are a major source of water for domestic use, irrigation, and some municipal systems. The sand-plain aquifers consist of sand and gravel deposits that are from...
