Drainage-area data for Wisconsin streams
E.W. Henrich, D.N. Daniel
1983, Open-File Report 83-933
Drainage areas were determined for more than 7,000 sites in Wisconsin's 11 major river basins, including all named streams draining 5 or more square miles, and all unnamed streams draining 10 or more square miles. Also determined are drainage areas for gaging stations, sewage-treatment plants, dams, major highway crossings, and...
A guide to the larvae of the Nearctic Diamesinae (Diptera; Chironomidae), the genera Boreoheptagyia, Protanypus, Diamesa, and Pseudokiefferiella
J.S. Doughman
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4006
The subfamily Diamesinae consists of the monogeneric tribes Boreoheptagnini and Parotanypini and the diverse tribe Diamesini with seven genera. These midges are prevalent in clean, cool arctic-alpine waters, but less abundant in the lowlands. Keys and descriptions herein to the known species of these nine genera may prove valuable in...

Application of remote-sensing techniques to hydrologic studies in selected coal-mined areas of southeastern Kansas
J. F. Kenny, J. R. McCauley
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4007
Disturbances resulting from intensive coal mining in the Cherry Creek basin of southeastern Kansas were investigated using color and color-infrared aerial photography in conjunction with water-quality data from simultaneously acquired samples. Imagery was used to identify the type and extent of vegetative cover on strip-mined lands and the extent and...
Water resources of the Santa Fe River basin, Florida
J. D. Hunn, L. J. Slack
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4075
The Santa Fe River basin is a 1,384 square-mile area in north-central Florida. The principal source of water is the Floridan aquifer, a sequence of limestone beds, the upper 300 to 800 feet of which contain potable water. The western part of the basin has the greatest potential yields for...
Estimating 1980 ground-water pumpage for irrigation on the High Plains in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming
F.J. Heimes, R. R. Luckey
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4123
Current ground-water use is required for the High Plains Regional Aquifer-System Analysis. In response to this need, a sampling approach was developed to estimate water pumped for irrigation on the High Plains during 1980. Pumpage was computed by combining application estimates with mapped irrigated-acreage information. Irrigation application (inches of water...
Statistical analysis and evaluation of water-quality data for selected streams in the coal area of east-central Montana
J. H. Lambing
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4224
To document and evaluate existing conditions of water quality prior to proposed coal development in east-central Montana, water-quality data were collected at 23 sites on selected streams from October 1975 through September 1981. The data were statistically summarized and regression equations were developed to define relationships between water-quality variables. Where...

Sediment transport in the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska, 1982
P.E. Harrold, R.L. Burrows
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4213
Suspended-sediment and bedload-transport rates for the Tanana River near Fairbanks can be related to water discharge, and annual sediment loads can be computed using these relations. For a site at Fairbanks the annual loads in 1982 were 26.1 million metric tons of suspended sediment and 227,000 metric tons of bedload....
Reconnaissance of surface-water resources in the Kobuk River basin, Alaska, 1979-80
J.M. Childers, D.R. Kernodle
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4027
Surface water data were collected at selected sites in the Kobuk River Basin in northwest Alaska in August 1979 and April 1980. In August 1979, frequent heavy rains caused abnormally high flows in the basin; unit runoff values, computed from discharge measurements at 25 sites, ranged from 0.08 to 12.2...
Subsidence from underground mining; environmental analysis and planning considerations
Fitzhugh T. Lee, John F. Abel
1983, Circular 876
Subsidence, a universal process that occurs in response to the voids created by extracting solids or liquids from beneath the Earth's surface, is controlled by many factors including mining methods, depth of extraction, thickness of deposit, and topography, as well as the in situ properties of the rock mass above...
Simulated effects of anticipated coal mining on dissolved solids in selected tributaries of the Yampa River, northwestern Colorado
R. S. Parker, J. M. Norris
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4084
Identifying cumulative effects of coal mining on dissolved solids downstream from multipe coal-mining operations is particularly important in western basins. The problem of identifying cumulative effects is evident in the Trout Creek drainage, a tributary to the Yampa River in northwestern Colorado, where a number of mines are active and...
