Reconnaissance investigation of water quality, bottom sediment, and biota associated with irrigation drainage in the Tulare Lake bed area, southern San Joaquin Valley, California, 1986-87
R. A. Schroeder, D. U. Palawski, J. P. Skorupa
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4001
Concentrations of numerous toxic trace elements and pesticides were measured during 1986 in water, sediment, and biota from three areas near the Tulare Lake Bed, southern San Joaquin Valley, California: Kern National Wildlife Refuge, Pixley National Wildlife Refuge, and Westfarmers evaporation ponds about 5 mi west of Kern National Wildlife...
External quality-assurance results for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and the National Trends Network during 1986
Randolph B. See, LeRoy J. Schroder, Timothy C. Willoughby
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4007
During 1986, the U.S. Geological Survey operated three programs to provide external quality-assurance monitoring of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and National Trends Network. An intersite-comparison program was used to assess the accuracy of onsite pH and specific-conductance determinations at quarterly intervals. The blind-audit program was used to assess the...
National water-information clearinghouse activities; ground-water perspective
C.A. Haupt, R.A. Jensen
1988, Open-File Report 88-114
The US Geological Survey (USGS) has functioned for many years as an informal clearinghouse for water resources information, enabling users to access groundwater information effectively. Water resources clearinghouse activities of the USGS are conducted through several separate computerized water information programs that are involved in the collection, storage, retrieval, and...
Simulated effects of ground-water management alternatives for the Salinas Valley, California
E.B. Yates
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4066
A two-dimensional digital groundwater flow model was developed to analyze the geohydrology of the groundwater basin in the Salinas Valley. The model was calibrated for steady-state and transient simulations by comparing simulated with measured or estimated inflows, outflows, and water levels for 1970-81. Preliminary estimates of hydraulic properties and some...

Water use in Kentucky, 1985
C.J. Sholar, V.D. Lee
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4043
Water use information for 1985 was collected and reported by county for eight major categories of use. Seven of the categories were offstream uses, which included (1) public supply , (2) commercial, (3) domestic, (4) industrial, (5) mining, (6) thermoelectric, and (7) agricultural uses. The agricultural uses category was separated...
Geohydrology of the Flathead Indian Reservation, northwestern Montana
S.E. Slagle
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4142
The geohydrology of the Flathead Indian Reservation was studied to provide information needed to formulate groundwater development plans. Bedrock in the area consists predominantly of slightly metamorphosed carbonate and fine-grained clasitc rocks of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup. Valley-fill deposits consist of alluvium of Holocene age; glacial and glaciolacustrine boulders, cobbles,...
Effects of flood controls proposed for West Branch Brandywine Creek, Chester County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4054
Twenty-four-hour rainfall, distributed over time according to the U.S. Soil Conservation Service type II rainfall distribution, was used as input to calibrated rainfall-runoff models of three subbasins in the West Branch Brandywine Creek watershed. The effects of four proposed flood controls were evaluated by using these rainfalls to simulate discharge...
Effects of urbanization on storm-runoff volume and peak discharge of Valley Creek, eastern Chester County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4196
Peak discharge and runoff volume were simulated for 21 storms in the Valley Creek basin using the U.S. Geological Survey Distributed Routing Rainfall-Runoff Model (DR3M). Storm peak discharges ranged from 301 to 900 cubic feet per second. Rainfall was measured at three recording rain gages in the basin. Observed and...
