Reported withdrawals and estimated use of water in Oklahoma during 1982
J.D. Stoner
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4084
Reported water withdrawals in Oklahoma during 1982 were 1,270.64 million gallons per day. The withdrawals were about equally distributed between ground water and surface water with 46 percent being ground water and 54 percent being surface water. In general, the western counties rely on ground water and the eastern counties...

Calibration procedure for a daily flow model of small watersheds with snowmelt runoff in the Green River coal region of Colorado
J. M. Norris, R. S. Parker
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4263
A calibration procedure was developed for the U.S. Geological Survey 's Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System for watersheds in which snowmelt is the major contributor to runoff. The model uses daily values of air temperature and precipitation as input and the output is mean daily discharge. The procedure appears sufficient to calibrate...

A program to monitor the ground- and surface water quality in the Livermore-Amador Valley has been operated since 1976. As of 1982, this monitoring network consisted of approximately 130 wells, about 100 of which were constructed specifically for this program, and 9 surface water stations. Increased demand on the groundwater...
Selected methods for dissolved iron (II, III) and dissolved sulfide (-II) determinations in geothermal waters
D.V. Vivit, E. A. Jenne
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4189
Dissolved sulfide (-II) and dissolved iron (II, III) were determined in geothermal well water samples collected at Cerro Prieto, Mexico. Most samples consisted of liquid and gas (two phases) at the instant of collection; and a subset of samples, referred to as ' flashed ' samples, consisted of pressurized steam...

1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4097
Nine maps describe the following water resources aspects of the Reelfoot Lake watershed: Map 1-Surface water gaging stations, lake level, and locations of observation wells, rainfall stations and National Weather Service rainfall stations; Maps 2 and 3-water level contours, river stage, groundwater movement; Maps 4 and 5-grid blocks simulating constant...
A gazetteer of surface-mine lakes, Eastern Interior Coal Province, Illinois
D. C. Voelker
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4355
Hundreds of lakes have been formed as a result of surface mining in Area 35 of the Eastern Interior Coal Province in Illinois. This gazetteer contains physical and chemical data from 107 surface-mine lakes sampled from June through August 1983. Information collected includes location, morphology, and vertical profile measurements of...
Effects of fracturing on well yields in the coalfield areas of Wise and Dickenson counties, southwestern Virginia
W. G. Wright
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4061
Fracturing associated with lineaments are the primary influence on yields from wells in the coalfields of southwestern Virgnia. Graphical comparison of yield from wells shows that wells located in valleys with lineaments produce larger quantities of water than wells in valleys without lineaments. Pumping tests at wells located in valleys...
Geohydrology of the Delaware Basin and vicinity, Texas and New Mexico
S. F. Richey, J.G. Wells, K.T. Stephens
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4077
The Delaware Basin study area includes four major aquifers: Capitan aquifer, Rustler Formation, Santa Rosa Sandstone (Dockum Group), and aquifers in the Cenozoic alluvium. Water from the Capitan aquifer is used for domestic and irrigation purposes in Eddy County, New Mexico, and for irrigation and industrial purposes in Texas. Available...
Arsenic, nitrate, iron, and hardness, in ground water, Goldstream Road, Yankovich Road, and Murphy Dome Road areas, (T.1N, R.2W, FM), Fairbanks, Alaska
Gary C. Hopkins, Kevin F. Maxwell

Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan Aquifer, west-central Florida, September 1985
G. L. Barr
1985, Open-File Report 85-679
The potentiometric surface is the level to which water will rise in tightly cased wells that tap the Upper Floridan aquifer. The surface is mapped by determining the altitude of water levels in a network of wells and is represented on maps by contours that connect points of equal altitude....
