D. A. Sherwood
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4278
Switzer Creek, tributary to the upper Susquehanna River basin, drains a 3.55 sq mi watershed that is 51% agricultural and 49% forested. From November 1978 to September 1980, Switzer Creek discharged 1,000 tons of suspended sediment, or 0.44 tons/acre. The maximum instantaneous suspended sediment concentration of 3 ,840 mg/L occurred...

Subsurface storage of freshwater in south Florida; evaluation of surface-water discharge data at selected sites
W. H. Sonntag
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4008
Canal discharge in south Florida may consist of a potential source of freshwater for deep-well injection. Discharge data for the 1970-81 water years at 27 canal and river sites were analyzed. Flow was analyzed for 30-, 60-, 90-, 120-, and 183-consecutive-day low-mean discharges during the periods of highest flow to...

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4267
Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is one of several sites under consideration for construction of the first repository for high-level nuclear waste. The climate is arid; few perennial streams are present in the region. Flash floods occasionally occur. The site is underlain by at least 1,800 meters of volcanic tuffs of Tertiary...

A pragmatic approach to evaluating a multipurpose stream-gaging network
K.L. Wahl, J. R. Crippen
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4228
A method for evaluating the relative worth of individual streamflow gaging stations in a multipupose network is presented. Each individual gaging station in the network is evaluated on the basis of selected rating factors. The factors relate to the need for information at the gaging stations, accuracy of data, economic...
Summary of results of an investigation to define the geohydrology and simulate the effects of large ground-water withdrawals on the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in northwestern Mississippi
D. M. Sumner, B. E. Wasson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4343
The 7,000 square-mile Mississippi River alluvial plain in north-western Mississippi (the Delta) is underlain by the prolific Mississippi River alluvial aquifer that currently (1983) yields about 1,100 Mgal/d of water to irrigation wells. Commonly, about 20 feet of clay underlying the Delta land surface is underlain by about 80 to...

Reconnaissance of the shallow-unconfined aquifer in Salt Lake Valley, Utah
R. L. Seiler, K.M. Waddell
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4272
The shallow-unconfined aquifer in Salt Lake (Jordan) Valley, Utah, seldom is used for domestic or industrial purposes because it yields water slowly and is readily contaminated. The water in the aquifer, however, can flood basements and is a potential source of contamination to other water supplies. In about one-half of...
Water resources of Kosrae, Caroline Islands
Otto Van der Brug
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4161
Kosrae is a high volcanic island about 42 square miles in area and the easternmost of the Caroline Islands. Mount Finkol (Mt. Crozer), at 2,065 feet, is the highest point on the island. Mountainous ridges descend sharply to narrow coastal strips which support a population of 5,500 people. Many streams,...
History of the State Water Resources Research Institute Program
J.S. Burton
