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...

1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4078
This report delineates and describes the geohydrology and susceptibility of major aquifers to contamination in Coffee, Dale, Henry, Houston, and Geneva Counties, Alabama. The major aquifers are the Upper Floridan, Lisbon, Nanafalia-Clayton, and Providence-Ripley aquifers. Estimated groundwater withdrawals for public water supplies are about 42 million gal/day. Maximum withdrawals for...
Streamflow characteristics of the Green, Bear, and Snake River basins, Wyoming, through 1984
D. A. Peterson
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4022
A summary of streamflow characteristics as of 1984 is presented for the Green, Bear, and Snake River Basins in Wyoming and adjacent areas, based on data from 101 streamflow-gaging stations. Streamflow characteristics include mean monthly and mean annual streamflow, duration of daily mean flow, and magnitude and probability of instantaneous...
Estimates of consumptive use and ground-water return flow using water budgets in Parker Valley, Arizona and California, 1981-84
Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4063
Annual water budgets were used to estimate consumptive use by vegetation and groundwater return flow in Parker Valley, Arizona and California. Consumptive use by vegetation was estimated to be 482,800 acre-ft in 1981, 432,000 acre-ft in 1982, 413,500 acre-ft in 1983, and 420,900 acre-ft in 1984 on the Arizona side...
Effects of coal mine drainage on the water quality of small receiving streams in Washington, 1975-77
F. A. Packard, E.L. Skinner, L. A. Fuste
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4274
Drainage from abandoned coal mines in western and central Washington has minimal environmental impact. Water quality characteristics that have the most significant environmental impact are suspended sediment and turbidity. Water quality data from 51 abandoned coal mines representing 11 major coal bearing areas indicate that less than 1% of the...
