Hydrology of a surface coal mined area in Randolph County, Illinois
J.V. Borghese, A. R. Klinger
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4256
Ground water was monitored from October 1980 to April 1983 and surface water was monitored from October 1980 to September 1982 in the 0.6-square-mile basin of Plum Creek Tributary in Randolph County, Illinois, to determine effects of surface mining for coal.

Predictive simulation of alternatives for managing the water resources of North Fork Solomon River Valley between Kirwin Dam and Waconda Lake, north-central Kansas
R.D. Burnett
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4249
Since 1974 water levels in the alluvial aquifer of the North Fork Solomon River Valley in north-central Kansas have decreased due to increases in ground-water pumpage, decreases in availability of surface water for irrigation, and below-average precipitation. A finite-element model was developed in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation...
Present and proposed ground-water-level program in Maine
J.T. Adamik
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4235
A statewide observation-well program was designed for Maine. Three networks were designed to provide reliable data to describe the effects of natural and manmade stress on water levels in the State. They are a climatic-effects network, a terrain-effects network, and a local-effects network. Review of the 32 observation wells in...

R.C. Christensen, D. W. Stephens, G. E. Pyper, H.F. McCormack, J. F. Weigel
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4011
Water of good quality from mountain streams is degraded as it moves through urban areas to the Jordan River in Salt Lake County, Utah. The impact of urban runoff and atmospheric deposition on the quality of water in those streams and in storm conduits and canals functioning as storm drains...
Analysis of the Carmel Valley alluvial ground-water basin, Monterey County, California
Glenn W. Kapple, Hugh T. Mitten, Timothy J. Durbin, Michael J. Johnson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4280
A two-dimensional, finite-element, digital model was developed for the Carmel Valley alluvial ground-water basin using measured, computed, and estimated discharge and recharge data for the basin. Discharge data included evapotranspiration by phreatophytes and agricultural, municipal, and domestic pumpage. Recharge data included river leakage, tributary runoff, and pumping return flow. Recharge...
Hydrogeologic reconnaissance of the San Miguel River basin, southwestern Colorado
D. J. Ackerman, F. E. Rush
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4133
The San Miguel River Basin encompasses 4,130 square kilometers of which about two-thirds is in the southeastern part of the Paradox Basin. The Paradox Basin is a part of the Colorado Plateaus that is underlain by a thick sequence of evaporite beds of Pennsylvanian age. The rock units that underlie...
Simulated effects of an artificial-recharge experiment near Proctor, Logan County, Colorado
A.W. Burns
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4010
An artificial-recharge experiment was conducted near Proctor, Colorado in which a computed 620 acre-feet were pumped from a well during a 4-month period. A computed 420 acre-feet were delivered at the potential reservoir site, and the remaining 200 acre-feet leaked from the pipeline. No pond was created due to the...
Water-resources appraisal of the upper Arkansas River basin from Leadville to Pueblo, Colorado
T. M. Crouch, Doug Cain, P.O. Abbott, R.D. Penley, R. T. Hurr
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4114
Water used for agriculture and stock and municipal supplies in the upper Arkansas River basin is derived mostly from the Arkansas River and its tributaries. The flow regime of the river has been altered by increased reservoir capacities and importation of 69,200 acre-feet per year from the Colorado River drainage...
Estimation of streamflow for selected sites on the Carson and Truckee rivers in California and Nevada, 1944-80
J. C. Blodgett, R.N. Oltmann, K.R. Poeschel
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4058
Daily mean and monthly discharges were estimated for 10 sites on the Carson and Truckee Rivers for periods of incomplete records and for tributary sites affected by reservoir regulation. On the basis of the hydrologic characteristics, stream-flow data for a water year were grouped by month or season for subsequent...
Physical basis and potential estimation techniques for soil erosion parameters in the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS)
W. P. Carey, Andrew Simon
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4218
Simulation of upland-soil erosion by the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System currently requires the user to estimate two rainfall detachment parameters and three hydraulic detachmment paramenters. One rainfall detachment parameter can be estimated from rainfall simulator tests. A reformulation of the rainfall detachment equation allows the second parameter to be computed directly....
Effects of storm-water runoff on water quality of the Edwards Aquifer near Austin, Texas
Freeman L. Andrews, Terry L. Schertz, Raymond M. Slade Jr., Jack Rawson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4124
Analyses of samples collected from Barton Springs at approximately weekly Intervals and from Barton Creek and five wells in the Austin area during selected storm-runoff periods generally show that recharge during storm runoff resulted in significant temporal and area! variations in the quality of ground water in the recharge zone...
