Surface-water-quality assessment of the upper Illinois River basin in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin; project description
D. M. Mades
1987, Open-File Report 87-473
In 1986, the U.S. Geological Survey began a National Water-Quality Assessment program to (1) provide nationally consistent descriptions of the current status of water quality for a large, diverse, and geographically distributed part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources; (2) define, where possible, trends in water quality; and (3)...
Meteorologic data for West Branch Antelope Creek stations and Canfield Lake station in west-central North Dakota, May 1982 through September 1986
Kathleen Macek-Rowland, Douglas G. Emerson
1987, Open-File Report 87-706
Data collected at four meteorologic stations located in west-central North Dakota are presented. In the West Branch Antelope Creek area, meteorologic data were collected at one weather station and two supplemental precipitation stations. The data for West Branch Antelope Creek weather station include: Accumulated precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, soil...
Records of wells and chemical analyses of water from wells for the period June 13, 1984 to December 4, 1986 at the Maxey Flats Radioactive Waste Disposal Site, Kentucky
M. A. Lyverse
1987, Open-File Report 87-214
Lithologic data are presented for 113 wells drilled at the Maxey Flats Radioactive Waste Disposal Site for the period June 13, 1984 to December 4, 1986. Water levels, tritium concentrations, and specific conductance are also presented for wells yielding sufficient water for measuring and sampling. At least one sample was...
Regional study of the Castle Hayne Aquifer of eastern North Carolina
W.L. Lyke, R. W. Coble
1987, Open-File Report 87-571
The Castle Hayne aquifer is an eastward sloping and thickening wedge of limestone and sandstone, located in a 12,500 sq mi area in the eastern part of North Carolina. The Castle Hayne aquifer is the major source of freshwater for much of coastal North Carolina where the aquifers underlying the...
Flood of November 1985 in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia
Joseph B. Lescinsky
1987, Open-File Report 86-486
Rainfall in excess of 10 inches occurred during the first 5 days of November 1985, resulting in devastating flooding in the Mid-Atlantic states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Throughout the area, many streams exceeded previously known flood heights and discharges and, in many cases, the recurrence interval of...
Estimated sediment deposition in Lake Corpus Christi, Texas, 1972-85
Norman F. Leibbrand
1987, Open-File Report 87-239
The investigation of sediment deposition in Lake Corpus Christi was initiated by researching the published and unpublished sediment data for the 1972-85 water years for stations located upstream and downstream of the lake. Regression analysis was used to fill in the missing data. Data were tabulated for monthly discharge (acre-feet)...
Floods in Iowa: Stage and discharge
O. G. Lara, D. A. Eash
1987, Open-File Report 87-382
This report presents stations descriptions and tables of peak stages and discharges for 280 continuous- and partial-record gaging stations in Iowa. Data for the annual flood series for each gaging station and partial-duration series, at stations where available, are contained in the report....
Water-quality data for the Clark Fork and selected tributaries from Deer Lodge to Milltown, Montana, March 1985 through June 1986
J. H. Lambing
1987, Open-File Report 87-110
A sampling program was conducted at six stream sites. The purpose of the study was to collect baseline data on concentrations of suspended sediment and selected trace metals in streamflow. Included in this report are tables of daily data for mean streamflow, suspended sediment concentration, and suspended sediment discharge at...
Prediction of the effects of mine dewatering on four lakes near Crandon, Wisconsin, by use of a water-budget model
William R. Krug, Nile A. Ostenso, J. T. Krohelski
1987, Open-File Report 87-471
The effects of dewatering a proposed zinc and copper mine on water levels of four lakes near Crandon, Wisconsin, were predicted by use of a digital water-budget model of the lakes. The average lake-stage reduction predicted by the model for expected ground-water levels after mine dewatering ranged from 0.21 feet for...
Sediment transport characteristics of selected streams in the Susitna River Basin, Alaska; data for water year 1985 and trends in bedload discharge, 1981-85
J. M. Knott, S. W. Lipscomb, T.W. Lewis
1987, Open-File Report 87-229
The upper reaches of the Susitna River have been considered for development of a large power generation system for south-central Alaska. Sediment and hydraulic data obtained from October 1984 to September 1985 (water year 1985) at selected sites on the Susitna, Chulitna, Talkectna and Yentna Rivers are summarized. Sediment data...
Supplemental arsenic data for selected streams in the Missouri River basin, Montana, 1987
J. R. Knapton, T.M. Brosten
1987, Open-File Report 87-697
Geothermal waters within Yellowstone National Park contribute arsenic to the Madison River. Concentrations ranging from 200 to 300 micrograms per liter in the Madison River near the park boundary are diluted downstream by tributary inflows to the Madison and Missouri Rivers. However, significant amount of arsenic are present in the...
Arsenic data for streams in the uppper Missouri River Basin, Montana and Wyoming
J. R. Knapton, A.A. Horpestad
1987, Open-File Report 87-124
Although large concentrations of arsenic originating from geothermal sources within Yellowstone National Park have been known to be present in the Madison River for many years, systematic monitoring throughout the upper Missouri River basin had not been done. Therefore, a monitoring network consisting of 24 stations was established for the...
Ground-water levels in Wyoming, 1976 through 1985
H.I. Kennedy, C.B. Oberender
1987, Open-File Report 87-456
Groundwater levels are measured periodically in a network of 84 observation wells in Wyoming, mostly in areas where groundwater is used in large quantities for irrigation or municipal purposes. The program is conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Wyoming State Engineer and the Wyoming Economic Development...
Water year 1986 in Iowa: Precipitation and water resources
R.A. Karsten, P.J. Waite
1987, Open-File Report 87-681
Water year 1986 was the second wettest on record in Iowa since records began being kept in the late 1800's. This report examines the spatial distribution of precipitation, the deviations from normal precipitation, and the effect of the excess precipitation on the water resources of Iowa. New high ground-water levels...
