Effects of artificial recharge on the Ogallala aquifer, Texas
Richmond Flint Brown, W.S. Keys
1985, Water Supply Paper 2251
Four recharge tests were conducted by injecting water from playa lakes through wells into the Ogallala Formation. Injection was by gravity flow and by pumping under pressure. At one site, 34-acre feet of water was injected by gravity and produced a significant increase in yield of the well. At a...

Progress report on Black Mesa monitoring program, 1984
G. W. Hill
1985, Open-File Report 85-483
The N aquifer is an important source of water in the 5,400 square-mile Black Mesa area on the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. The project is designed to monitor long-term effects on the ground-water resources of the mesa as a result of withdrawals from the aquifer by a strip-mining operation....
Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan aquifer in the St. Johns River Water Management District and vicinity, Florida, September 1985
George R. Schiner, Eugene C. Hayes
1985, Open-File Report 85-644
This map shows the potentiometric surface of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the St. Johns River Water Management District and vicinity for September 1985. The Upper Floridan aquifer is the principal source of potable water in the area. Water level measurements were made on approximately 1,000 wells and on several...
Data on surface-water quality and quantity, Truckee River system, Nevada and California, 1979-81
R.J. La Camera, R.J. Hoffmann, J. O. Nowlin, L. H. Smith, S.M. Lima
1985, Open-File Report 84-238
Selected hydrologic data were collected between May 1979 and October 1981 at 59 sites on the Truckee River, 10 sites on selected tributaries and smaller diversions, and 9 sites on the Truckee Canal. The data were collected in support of the water-quality and hydrologic investigation components of the Truckee-Carson River-Quality...

Study and interpretation of the chemical characteristics of natural water
John David Hem
1985, Water Supply Paper 2254
The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from human activities. Broad interrelationships among these processes and...

Hydrology of Lake Placid and adjacent area, Highlands County, Florida
D. Briane Adams, Yvonne E. Stoker
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4149
The study conducted during 1982-83, documents hydrologic conditions in Lake Placid and surrounding areas of Florida. Lake-stage data indicate that the 2- to 50-year flood stage ranges from 93.9 to 96.2 ft. Lake stage is reflected by annual departure of precipitation of the previous year from long-term average. A bathymetric...
Data from a solute transport experiment in the Leviathan Mine drainage, Alpine County, California, October 1982
M. R. Flint, K.E. Bencala, G. W. Zellweger, D.P. Hammermeister
1985, Open-File Report 85-85
A twenty-four hour injection of chloride and sodium was made into Leviathan Creek, Alpine County, California to aid interpretation of the coupled interactions between physical transport processes and geochemical reactions. Leviathan Creek was chosen because it receives acid mine drainage from Leviathan Mine, an abandoned open-pit sulfur mine. Water samples...

Altitude and configuration of the water table and depth to water near Cheyenne, Wyoming, May 1984
Marvin A. Crist
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4154
Altitude and configuration of the water table and depth to water were determined for an area near the southwestern corner of Francis E. Warren Air Force Base which is adjacent to the city limits of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Water levels in the Ogallala Formation, of late Miocene age, generally are less...

Controls on phosphorus mobility in the Potomac River near the Blue Plains wastewater treatment plant
Hearn Jr.
1985, Water Supply Paper 2231
The Blue Plains wastewater treatment plant is the largest point source of phosphorus in the Potomac River basin, discharging an average of 2 metric tons of phosphorus into the river each day in 1980. An intensive study of the water and sediments in the vicinity of the treatment plant was...
Occurrence of saltwater in the alluvial aquifer in the Boeuf-Tensas Basin, Arkansas
D. J. Fitzpatrick
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4029
The occurrence of saline water in the alluvial aquifer in the Boeuf-Tensas basin in southeastern Arkansas has been of increasing concern. A band of saline water containing chloride concentrations of greater than 50 milligrams per liter extends through the entire length of the basin. The most severely affected area is...
Hydrologic effects of ground- and surface-water withdrawals in the Howe area, Lagrange County, Indiana

1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4163
Geometry and hydraulic characteristics of a 46.5 sq mi area of the sand and gravel outwash-aquifer system between Fawn and Pigeon Rivers in Lagrange County were defined in a study of the effect of current and potential uses of water on the aquifer, streams, lakes, and wetlands. There are three...
Design of a sediment data-collection program in Kansas as affected by time trends
P. R. Jordan
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4204
Data collection programs need to be re-examined periodically in order to insure their usefulness, efficiency, and applicability. The possibility of time trends in sediment concentration, in particular, makes the examination with new statistical techniques desirable. After adjusting sediment concentrations for their relation to streamflow rates and by using a seasonal...
