Impact on the Columbia River of an outburst of Spirit Lake
W. G. Sikonia
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4054
A one-dimensional sediment-transport computer model was used to study the effects of an outburst of Spirit Lake on the Columbia River. According to the model, flood sediment discharge to the Columbia from the Cowlitz would form a blockage to a height of 44 feet above the current streambed of the...
Water-level declines in the Amargosa Valley area, Nye County, Nevada, 1962-84
W. D. Nichols, J. P. Akers
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4273
Groundwater flow in the Amargosa Valley area is in Nevada complex and involves a valley fill aquifer and an underlying carbonate rock aquifer. Groundwater development in the area is in the valley fill aquifer, about 10 mi. south-west of Lathrop Wells. Water levels measured in selected wells in the area...
Proposed artificial recharge studies in northern Qatar
J. O. Kimrey
1985, Open-File Report 85-343
The aquifer system in northern Qatar comprises a water-table aquifer in the Rus Formation which is separated by an aquitard from a partially confined aquifer in the top of the overlying Umm er Radhuma Formation. These two aquifers are composed of limestone and dolomite of Eocene and Paleocene age and...
Management of ground water and evolving hydrogeologic studies in New Jersey : a heavily urbanized and industrialized state in the northeastern United States
P. Patrick Leahy
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4277
New Jersey is the most densely populated and one of the most industrialized states in the United States. An abundance of freshwater and proximity to major northeastern metropolitan centers has facilitated this development. Pumpage of freshwater from all aquifers in the State in 1980 was 730 million gallons per day...
Simulated effects of increased recharge on the ground-water flow system of Yucca Mountain and vicinity, Nevada-California
J.B. Czarnecki
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4344
A study was performed to assess the potential effects of changes in future climatic conditions on the groundwater system in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain, the site of a potential mined geologic repository for high-level nuclear wastes. These changes probably would result in greater rates of precipitation and, consequently, greater...
Simulated effects of surface coal mining and agriculture on dissolved solids in the Redwater River, east-central Montana
