Quantity and quality of urban runoff from the Chester Creek basin Anchorage, Alaska
T. P. Brabets
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4312
Urbanization has affected both the flow characteristics and water quality of streams in the Chester Creek basin, of Anchorage, Alaska. Peak flows are higher in the urban rather than rural parts of the basin, and the percent of effective impervious area has a significant effect on storm runoff volumes and...
Preliminary assessment of potential well yields and the potential for artificial recharge of the Elm and Middle James aquifers in the Aberdeen area, South Dakota
P.J. Emmons
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4017
A complex hydrologic system exists in the glacial drift overlying the bedrock in the Aberdeen, South Dakota, area. The hydrologic system has been subdivided into three aquifers: the Elm, Middle James, and Deep James. These sand-and-gravel outwash aquifers generally are separated from each other by till or other fine-grained sediments....

The relation of streamflow to habitat for anadromous fish in the Stillaguamish River basin, Washington
S.S. Embrey
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4326
The techniques of Instream Flow Incremental Methodology were used to determine the habitat available over a range of simulated streamflows for anadromous fish in certain reaches of streams in the Stillaguamish River basin, Washington. The stream discharge-habitat relations were used to identify that discharge termed the optimum discharge, which provides...

Cenozoic stratigraphy and geologic history of the Tucson Basin, Pima County, Arizona
S. R. Anderson
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4190
This report was prepared as part of a geohydrologic study of the Tucson basin conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the city of Tucson. Geologic data from more than 500 water supply and test wells were analyzed to define characteristics of the basin sediments that may affect...
Water resources near Dillingham in the Bristol Bay Area, Alaska
R. L. Glass
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4141
Dillingham, the largest community in the Bristol Bay area of Alaska, lies near the confluence of the Wood and Nushagak Rivers. Mean annual discharges for the Wood and Nushagak Rivers are 4,824 and 22,650 cu ft/sec. Flows generally are greatest in May through July and lowest in January through April....

Water quality in the lower Puyallup River valley and adjacent uplands, Pierce County, Washington
J.C. Ebbert, Gilbert C. Bortleson, L. A. Fuste, E. A. Prych
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4154
The quality of most ground and surface water within and adjacent to the lower Puyallup River valley is suitable for most typical uses; however, some degradation of shallow groundwater quality has occurred. High concentrations of iron and manganese were found in groundwater, sampled at depths of < 40 ft, from...
Hydrogeology of the Socorro and La Jencia basins, Socorro County, New Mexico
Scott K. Anderholm
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4342
The Socorro and La Jencia Basins are located in central Socorro County, New Mexico. The principal aquifer system in the Socorro and La Jencia Basins consists of, in descending order, the shallow aquifer, the Popotosa confining bed, and the Popotosa aquifer. The minor aquifer systems, which are dominant along the...
Effects of coal strip mining on stream water quality and biology, southwestern Washington
L. A. Fuste, D. F. Meyer
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4056
Strip mining for coal in southwestern Washington may be affecting the water quality of streams. To investigate these possible effects, five streams were selected for study of water quality in each of the two coal bearing areas: the Centralia-Chehalis coal district, and Kelso-Castle Rock coal area. In the Centralia-Chehalis coal...

A preliminary investigation of sediment distribution, erosion, and transport in the upper Deschutes River was conducted in response to the perceived problem that brown trout spawning gravels were being rendered unusable due to an accumulation of fine-grained sediment. Contrary to the contention that channel gravels are being covered by fine-grained...
