Gas-film coefficients for the volatilization of ketones from water
R. E. Rathbun, D. Y. Tai
1986, Water Supply Paper 2286
Volatilization is a significant process in determining the fate of many organic compounds in streams and rivers. Quantifying this process requires knowledge of the mass-transfer coefficient from water, which is a function of the gas-film and liquid-film coefficients. The gas-film coefficient can be determined by measuring the flux for the...

H. A. Martinson, H.E. Hammond, W.W. Mast, P.D. Mango
1986, Open-File Report 85-631
The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens generated a lateral blast, lahars, and tephra deposits that altered stream channels in the Lewis River drainage basin. In order to assess potential flood hazards, monitor channel adjustments, and construct a sediment budget for disturbed drainages on the east and southeast...
Potentiometric-surface map of the Wyodak-Anderson coal bed, Powder River structural basin, Wyoming, 1973-84
Pamela B. Daddow
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4305
Previous water level maps of shallow aquifers in the Powder River structural basin in Wyoming were based on water levels from wells completed in different stratigraphic intervals within thick sequences of sedimentary rocks. A potentiometric surface using water levels from a single aquifer had never been mapped throughout the basin....
Quality of water resources of the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas
Elizabeth F. Cole, E. E. Morris
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4166
Surface water and groundwater quality was documented in the Ouachita National Forest by collecting surface water quality data at 15 points and groundwater quality data at 11 sites from April 1984 through August 1985. The data were compared to drinking water standards and the results are tabulated. Surface water in...

Hydrogeology of the eastern part of the Salt River Valley area, Maricopa and Pinal Counties, Arizona
R. L. Laney, Mary Ellen Hahn
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4147
The Salt River Valley is a major agricultural and metropolitan area in semiarid south-central Arizona. Groundwater in the permeable sedimentary deposits underlying the area is a major water supply for agricultural, municipal, and industrial users. Groundwater levels have declined as much as 400 ft in recent years. Management of the...
Potentiometric surface, ground-water withdrawals, and recharge area for the Lisbon aquifer in Alabama, fall 1982
John S. Williams, Michael Planert, Sydney S. DeJarnette
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4120
The U.S. Geological Survey began a nationwide program in 1978, termed Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA), to study a number of the major aquifer systems that provide a significant part of the country 's water supply. One of the aquifer systems chosen for study was the thick and extensive sequence of...
