Application of the U.S. Geological Survey's precipitation-runoff modeling system to the Prairie Dog Creek basin, southeastern Montana
L. E. Cary
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4178
The U.S. Geological Survey 's precipitation-runoff modeling system was tested using 2 year 's data for the daily mode and 17 storms for the storm mode from a basin in southeastern Montana. Two hydrologic response unit delineations were studied. The more complex delineation did not provide superior results. In this...
Ground-water-quality appraisal of sand-plain aquifers in Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, and Wadena Counties, Minnesota
C. F. Myette
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4080
Water samples were collected periodically from 124 wells completed in sand-plain aquifers in Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, and Wadena Counties, Minnesota, to determine baseline water quality, provide data for evaluation of trends, and to investigate seasonal variations in concentrations of selected chemical constituents during a 3-year study that began in...

Runoff and water-quality characteristics of surface-mined lands in Illinois
Timothy P. Brabets
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4265
Seven watersheds--three in western Illinois (Fulton County), two in south-western Illinois (St. Clair County), and two in southern Illinois (Williamson County)--were selected to assess the effect of surface mining on the quality and quantity of surface runoff. Each area had one site draining an unmined basin and a nearby site(s)...

T. R. Cummings, F. R. Twenter, D. J. Holtschlag
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4112
This report gives the results of an investigation to determine the chemical and physical characteristics of ground and surface water in Van Buren County and to relate these characteristics to the agricultural use of land. Chemical inputs to the hydrologic system, including those from precipitation, animal wastes, septic tanks, and...

Projected effects of ground-water withdrawals in the Arkansas River Valley, 1980-99, Hamilton and Kearny Counties, southwestern Kansas
L. E. Dunlap, Richard J. Lindgren, J. E. Carr
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4082
A study was made, in cooperation with the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, to determine the effects that additional ground-water development would have on streamflow and water levels on an area along the Arkansas River in Hamilton and Kearny Counties, southwestern Kansas. A computer model was used to simulate the...

Application of the conjugate-gradient method to ground-water models
T.A. Manteuffel, D.B. Grove, Leonard F. Konikow
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4009
The conjugate-gradient method can solve efficiently and accurately finite-difference approximations to the ground-water flow equation. An aquifer-simulation model using the conjugate-gradient method was applied to a problem of ground-water flow in an alluvial aquifer at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Denver, Colorado. For this application, the accuracy and efficiency of the...
