Statistical analysis of surface-water-quality data in and near the coal-mining region of southwestern Indiana, 1957-80
Jeffrey D. Martin, Charles G. Crawford
1987, Water Supply Paper 2291
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 requires that applications for coal-mining permits contain information about the water quality of streams at and near a proposed mine. To meet this need for information, streamflow, specific conductance, pH, and concentrations of total alkalinity, sulfate, dissolved solids, suspended solids, total...

Measuring and computing natural ground-water recharge at sites in south-central Kansas
M.A. Sophocleous, C. A. Perry
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4097
To measure the natural groundwater recharge process, two sites in south-central Kansas were instrumented with sensors and data microloggers. The atmospheric-boundary layer and the unsaturated and saturated soil zones were monitored as a single regime. Direct observations also were used to evaluate the measurements. Atmospheric sensors included an anemometer, a...

1987, Water Supply Paper 2310
Water-quality data from long-term (24 years), fixed- station monitoring at the Cape Fear River at Lock 1 near Kelly, N.C., and various measures of basin development are correlated. Subbasin population, number of acres of cropland in the subbasin, number of people employed in manufacturing, and tons of fertilizer applied in...
A review of circulation and mixing studies of San Francisco Bay, California
Lawrence H. Smith
1987, Circular 1015
A description of the major characteristics and remaining unknowns of circulation and mixing in San Francisco Bay has been constructed from a review of published studies. From a broad perspective San Francisco Bay is an ocean-river mixing zone with a seaward flow equal to the sum of the river inflows...
The effects of vertical motion on the performance of current meters
K.G. Thibodeaux, J. C. Futrell II
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4147
A series of tests to determine the correction coefficients for Price type AA and Price type OAA current meters, when subjected to vertical motion in a towing tank, have been conducted. During these tests, the meters were subjected to vertical travel that ranged from 1.0 to 4.0 ft and vertical...
Effects of land use on ground-water quality in central Florida — Preliminary results: U.S. Geological Survey Toxic Waste — Ground-water Contamination Program
