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The investigation of sediment deposition in Lake Corpus Christi was initiated by researching the published and unpublished sediment data for the 1972-85 water years for stations located upstream and downstream of the lake.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)...
Index to limnological data for southcentral Alaska Lakes

1987, Open-File Report 87-529
South-central Alaska lakes are a valuable natural resource and provide a variety of recreational opportunities to the public. Lakeside development has increased significantly in the past 10 years and several south-central Alaskan lakes have documented pollution problems. Cultural eutrophication, the process by which man-induced nutrient loading to a lake results...
Debris flows from tributaries of the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

Hydrogeology and ground-water quality at a land reclamation site, Neshaminy State Park, Pennsylvania
Ray S. Blickwedel, Jeff H. Linn
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4164
At Neshaminy State park, the most important aquifer is the informally named 'Trenton gravel' of Pleistocene age, which consists of poorly sorted sand and gravel. This is underlain by less permeable crystalline rock that limits the downward movement of water. Up to 5 feet of Holocene (or perhaps Pleistocene) alluvium...
Ground-water levels in Arkansas, spring 1987

Floods in central Texas, August 1-4, 1978
E.E. Schroeder, B.C. Massey, E.H. Chin
1987, Professional Paper 1332
Catastrophic floods caused by record rainfall occurred in central Texas during August 1-4, 1978. Torrential rain initiated by the remnants of tropical storm Amelia fell over south-central Texas during August 1-3, and very intense rain due to the interaction between the cold front and maritime air mass fell over north-central...
