Evaluation of water-quality characteristics of part of the Spokane Aquifer, Washington and Idaho, using a solute-transport digital model
J. J. Vaccaro, E.L. Bolke
1983, Open-File Report 82-769
The principal dissolved constituents in water in the Spokane aquifer are calcium and bicarbonate. These constituents (as well as dissolved solids, hardness, and magnesium) each correlate well with specific conductance, whereas chloride, sodium, and nitrate each do not. Specific conductance ranges from 73 to 820 micromhos per centimeter throughout the...
Habitat Suitability Index Models: Roseate spoonbill

1983, FWS/OBS 82/10.50
The roseate spoonbill is a long-legged wading bird with a height of approximately 80 cm (31.5 inches), a wingspan of 1.3 m (4.3 ft), and a weight of 1.6 kg (3.5 Ib }. The bill is narrower near the base (2-3 em, 0.8-1.2 inches) than at the flattened tip (5...
Distribution of chloride concentrations in the principal aquifers of the New Jersey coastal plain, 1977-81
F. L. Schaefer
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4061
The U.S. Geological Survey maintains a saltwater monitoring network in New Jersey to document and evaluate the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers that serve as sources of water supply. Areas in the Coastal Plain with existing or potential saltwater intrusion are delineated. Data collected through 1981 indicate that...
Streamflow and water-quality data for lake and wetland inflows and outflows in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Minnesota, 1981-82
Luanne Nelson, R. G. Brown
1983, Open-File Report 83-543
A study of runoff to selected lakes was done in the Twin Cities metropolitan area from July 1981 to December 1982. The purpose of the study was to determine differences in nutrient-loading characteristics for lakes with and without wetlands and settling ponds. The study also quantified nutrient loading to lakes...

Chemical analyses of thermal and nonthermal springs in Lassen Volcanic National Park and vicinity, California
J. M. Thompson
1983, Open-File Report 83-311
Most thermal waters issuing in Lassen Volcanic National Park (LVNP) are acidic (pH =3.5), low-Cl (concentrations =30 mg/L) hot springs which are characteristic of vapor-dominated hydrothermal systems and, as such, are not useful for liquid chemical geothermometry. Thermal waters at Drakesbad and in Little Hot Springs Valley, hot spring localities...
