W.H. Eddins, J. K. Crawford
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4308
In 1979-81, water samples were collected from 119 sites on streams throughout the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and were analyzed for specific conductance, dissolved chloride, hardness, pH, total alkalinity, total phosphorus, trace elements, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, silver, and zinc and biological...
Preliminary study of the aquifers of the lower Mesilla Valley in Texas and New Mexico by model simulation
J. S. Gates, D. E. White, E. R. Leggat
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4317
The aquifers in the lower Mesilla Valley of Texas and New Mexico provide water for irrigation, industrial use, and municipal supply. At present (1984), the shallow aquifer is used principally for irrigation. The medium-depth aquifer (the top of which is about 160 to 260 feet below land surface) and deep...
Appearance and water quality of turbidity plumes produced by dredging in Tampa Bay, Florida
Carl R. Goodwin, D.M. Michaelis
1984, Water Supply Paper 2192
Turbidity plumes in Tampa Bay, Florida, produced during ship-channel dredging operations from February 1977 to August 1978, were monitored in order to document plume appearance and water quality, evaluate plume influence on the characteristics of Tampa Bay water, and provide a data base for comparison with other areas that have...
Water quality in the New River from Calexico to the Salton Sea, Imperial County, California
James G. Setmire
1984, Water Supply Paper 2212
The New River enters the United States at Calexico, Calif., after it crosses the international boundary. Water-quality data from routine collection indicated that the New River was degraded by high organic and bacterial content. Intensive sampling for chemical and physical constituents and properties of the river was done May 9-13,...

Assessment of water resources at Fort Carson Military Reservation near Colorado Springs, Colorado
G.J. Leonard
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4270
The Fort Carson Military Reservation adjoins the rapidly growning Colorado Springs metropolitan area, where locally available water supplies are limited and strictly administered. Fort Carson purchases about 3,400 acre-feet of treated water annually from the city of Colorado Springs. The major streams entering Fort Carson have an estimated average annual...
Ground-water quality in Wyoming
L. R. Larson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4034
This report graphically summarizes ground-water quality from selected chemical-quality data for about 2,300 ground-water sites in Wyoming. Dissolved-solids, nitrate, fluoride, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, iron, and manganese concentrations are summarized on a statewide basis. The major chemical-quality problem that limits the use of Wyoming ground-water is excessive...
Water in sand and gravel deposits in McHenry County, Illinois
J.R. Nicholas, J. T. Krohelski
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4048
McHenry County, Illinois derives a major part of its ground-water supply from unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers. Twenty-six public systems tap these aquifers for all or part of their supply. The county contains two types of sand and gravel aquifers--unconfined aquifers which are at or near the land surface, and...
A reconnaissance of the water resources of the Shoalwater Bay Indian Reservation and adjacent areas, Pacific County, Washington, 1978-1979
W. E. Lum
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4165
A 1978-79 reconnaissance of the quantity and quality of water in the Shoalwater Bay Indian Reservation yielded information needed by the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe to plan future use of these resources. Ground water from the local artesian aquifer is suitable for most uses and it is estimated that yield...
An overview of ground-water quality data in Wisconsin
Phil A. Kammerer Jr.
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4239
This report contains a summary of ground-water-quality data for Wisconsin and an evaluation of the adequacy of these data for assessing the impact of land disposal of wastes on ground-water quality. Chemical analyses used in data summaries were limited to those stored in the USGS computer system (WATSTORE). Information on...
Availability of ground water from the alluvial aquifer on the Nisqually Indian Reservation, Washington
W. E. Lum II
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4185
A digital model using finite-difference techniques was constructed to simulate ground-water flow in an alluvial aquifer on the Nisqually Indian Reservation. The maximum long-term rate of pumping from individual wells, based on available data, is about 0.75 cubic feet per second (340 gallons per minute). Data on the extent, hydraulic...
Floods of August 7-8, 1979, in Chautauqua County, New York, with hydraulic analysis of Canadaway Creek in the village of Fredonia
Richard Lumia, W. H. Johnston
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4211
Extensive flooding of streams in Chautauqua County, N.Y., on August 7-8, 1979, after severe thunderstorms, resulted in one death and millions of dollars worth of property damage. Severe flooding was reported on Canadaway Creek in Fredonia, where the peak discharge was computed to be 12,000 cubic feet per second. The...
Evaluation of the cost effectiveness of the 1983 stream-gaging program in Kansas
K.D. Medina, C.O. Geiger
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4107
The results of an evaluation of the cost effectiveness of the 1983 stream-gaging program in Kansas are documented. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 140 complete record streamflow-gaging stations operated in Kansas during 1983 with a budget of $793,780. As a result of the evaluation of the...
Annual summary of ground-water conditions in Arizona, spring 1982 to spring 1983
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1984, Open-File Report 84-428
The withdrawal of ground water was slightly less than 4.2 million acre-feet in Arizona in 1982, which is about 1.2 million acre-feet less than the amount withdrawn in 1981. Most of the decrease in 1982 was in the amount of ground water used for irrigation in the Basin and Range...
Flood-discharge profiles of selected streams in Rockland County, New York
Richard Lumia
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4049
Flood-discharge profiles of 10 streams in Rockland County at six recurrence intervals ranging from 2 to 100 years are presented. Synthetic flood-frequency estimates were derived for nine rainfall-runoff sites from calibrated models; observed flood-frequency estimates were derived for three sites having long-term discharge records. A variance-weighting technique was applied to...
