A digital model for streamflow routing by convolution methods
W.H. Doyle Jr., H.O. Shearman, G.J. Stiltner, W.O. Krug
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4160
U.S. Geological Survey computer model, CONROUT, for routing streamflow by unit-response convolution flow-routing techniques from an upstream channel location to a downstream channel location has been developed and documented. Calibration and verification of the flow-routing model and subsequent use of the model for simulation is also documented. Three hypothetical examples...
Hydrologic characteristics of Nebraska soils
Jack T. Dugan
1984, Water Supply Paper 2222
The influence of the physical characteristics of soil on hydrology is frequently neglected. In this report, the effects of five characteristics on the hydrologic responses of soils in Nebraska are evaluated quantitatively, soils are grouped through use of a simplified coding system according to similarities in hydrologic responses, and are...

Movement and fate of creosote waste in ground water, Pensacola, Florida; U.S. Geological Survey toxic waste--ground-water contamination program
B.J. Franks
H.C. Mattraw Jr., editor(s)
1984, Open-File Report 84-466
In 1983, the U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Hazardous Waste Hydrology, selected the former American Creosote Works site near Pensacola, Florida as a national research demonstration area. Seventy-nine years (1902-81) of seepage from unlined discharge impoundments had released creosote, diesel fuel, and pentachlorophenol (since 1950) wastes into the ground-water system....
Methods for the collection of geochemical data from the sediments of the tidal Potomac River and estuary and data for 1978-1980
S.D. Goodwin, B.I. Schultz, D.L. Parkhurst, N.S. Simon, Edward Callender
1984, Open-File Report 84-74
The chemical composition of bottom sediments and their associated pore waters from the tidal Potomac River and Estuary was studied from May 1978 through June 1980. Pore waters were routinely analyzed for pH, Eh, alkalinity, and concentrations of sulfide, sulfate, phosphate, carbon, ammonium, silica, iron, manganese, chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium,...
Hydrology of Lake Butler, Orange County, Florida

Restoration of freshwater in the Cano Tiburones area, Puerto Rico
Allen L. Zack, Angel Class-Cacho
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4071
Cano Tiburones on the north coast of Puerto Rico originally was a shallow, coastal lagoon, 9 square miles in area. It accumulated freshwater from adjacent rivers and springs and drained to the ocean through unobserved subterranean conduits. Forced drainage by pumping of Cano Tiburones for agriculture was begun in 1949,...

Mapping of forested wetland: Use of seasat radar images to complement conventional sources
John L. Place
1984, Open-File Report 84-312
Distinguishing forested wetland from dry forest using aerial photographs has been handicapped because photographs often do not reveal the presence of water below the tree canopies. Images obtained during the summer months of 1978 by the Seasat satellite's L-band (23-cm) radar reveal forested wetland as patterns of high radar reflection in the Atlantic coastal...
Water-resources investigations in North Dakota; fiscal year 1984
