Water resources activities of the USGS, 1987
John E. Moore, C. William Cardin, editor(s)
1987, Open-File Report 87-111
Effective management of water resources requires an understanding of hydrologic systems and the factors that determine the distribution, availability, and quality of water. Within the Federal Government, the U.S. Geological Survey has the principal responsibility for providing hydrologic information and for appraising the Nation's water resources. The water resources activities...
Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Wyoming, fiscal years 1986 and 1987
S. L. Green, J.R. Schuetz
1987, Open-File Report 87-532
The two types of water-resources activities of the Wyoming District are collection of hydrologic data and water-resources-appraisal projects. Much of the work is done in cooperation with other agencies; during fiscal year 1986 and 1987 cooperators included eight State agencies, two counties, one municipality and seven Federal agencies. This report...
Water resources data, Wyoming, water year 1986
S. A. Druse, W. R. Glass, P. B. McCollum, H.I. Kennedy
1987, Water Data Report WY-86-1
Water resources data for the 1986 water year for Wyoming consists of records of stage, discharge and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. This report contains discharge records for 195 gaging stations; stage and contents for...
Activities of the Alaska District, Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, 1987
E. F. Snyder (compiler)
1987, Open-File Report 87-38
Hydrologic data collection activities by the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska are described. Seventeen projects were active in 1987. Each description includes information on period of project, project chief, funding sources, location, purpose, current status, and published or planned reports. The compilation also contains a bibliography of reports published by...
Water resources and potential effects of surface coal mining in the area of the Woodson Preference Right Lease Application, Montana
M. R. Cannon
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4027
Federal coal lands of the Woodson Preference Right Lease Application are located in Dawson and Richland Counties, northeastern Montana. A probable mine area, comprised of the lease area and adjacent coal lands, contains about 220 million tons of recoverable lignite coal in the 12-37 ft thick Pust coal bed. A...
Loads of suspended sediment and nutrients from local nonpoint sources to the tidal Potomac River and Estuary, Maryland and Virginia, 1979-81 water years
R. Edward Hickman
1987, Water Supply Paper 2234-G
Loads of suspended sediment, phosphorus, nitrogen, biochemical oxygen demand, and dissolved silica discharged to the tidal Potomac River and Estuary during the !979-81 water years from three local nonpoint sources have been calculated. The loads in rain falling directly upon the tidal water surface and from overflows of the combined...
Water resources data, Texas, water year 1986, Volume 1: Arkansas River basin, Red River basin, Sabine River basin, Neches River basin, Trinity River basin, and intervening and adjacent coastal basins
H.D. Buckner, E.R. Carillo, H.J. Davidson
1987, Water Data Report TX-86-1
The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Federal, State, and City agencies, obtains a large amount of data pertaining to the water resources of Texas each water year. Such data, accumulated during many water years, constitute a valuable data base for developing an improved understanding...
Approximate potentiometric surfaces for the aquifers of the Texas coastal uplands system, 1980
Sergio Garza, B.D. Jones, E.T. Baker
1987, Hydrologic Atlas 704
The National Water Commission recommended that the U.S. Geological Survey conduct intensive studies of the important regional aquifer systems in the United States, particularly those with declining water levels and deteriorating water quality.  The result has been a series of Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) studies, one of which is the...
Effect of reduced industrial pumpage on the migration of dissolved nitrogen in an outwash aquifer at Olean, Cattaraugus County, New York
M. P. Bergeron
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4082
A quasi-three-dimensional digital groundwater flow model of a shallow outwash aquifer system at Olean, New York, was developed to study the effects of several pumping alternatives on groundwater flow and stream seepage. Nitrogen compounds have contaminated the aquifer in an industrial park in North Olean. Pumping from seven industrial production...
Surface-water quality in Pequea Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1977-79
J. R. Ward
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4250
A study of the Pequea Creek basin was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Susquehanna River Basin Commission and the EPA from February 1977 through March 1979. Pequea Creek drains an intensive agricultural area of 154 sq mi in southeastern Pennsylvania, and enters the Susquehanna River...
Streamflow characteristics at hydrologic bench-mark stations
C.L. Lawrence
1987, Circular 941
The Hydrologic Bench-Mark Network was established in the 1960's. Its objectives were to document the hydrologic characteristics of representative undeveloped watersheds nationwide and to provide a comparative base for studying the effects of man on the hydrologic environment. The network, which consists of 57 streamflow gaging stations and one lake-stage...
Description and testing of three moisture sensors for measuring surface wetness on carbonate building stones
R.B. See, M.M. Reddy, R. G. Martin
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4177
Three sensors were tested on building stones exposed to conditions that produce deposition of moisture. A relative humidity probe, a gypsum collected circuit grid, and a limestone block resistor were tested as sensors for determining surface wetness. Sensors were tested under laboratory conditions of constant relative humidity and temperature and...

Alberto Condes de la Torre
1987, Open-File Report 87-563
The U.S. Geological Survey operates hydrologic data collection stations nationwide which serve the needs of all levels of government, the private sector, and the general public, for water resources information.
