Application of Tracer-Injection Techniques to Demonstrate Surface-Water and Ground-Water Interactions Between an Alpine Stream and the North Star Mine, Upper Animas River Watershed, Southwestern Colorado
Winfield G. Wright, Bryan Moore
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4172
Tracer-injection studies were done in Belcher Gulch in the upper Animas River watershed, southwestern Colorado, to determine whether the alpine stream infiltrates into underground mine workings of the North Star Mine and other nearby mines in the area. The tracer-injection studies were designed to determine if and where along Belcher...

2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4256
A two-dimensional finite-element surface-water model was used to study the effects of the proposed modification to the U.S. Highway 79 corridor on flooding on the White River near Clarendon, Arkansas. The effects of floodflows were simulated for the following scenarios: existing, natural, and four proposed bridging alternatives. All of the...

Introduction This report describes and makes available a geologic digital spatial database (orgeo) representing the geologic map of Oregon (Walker and MacLeod, 1991). The original paper publication was printed as a single map sheet at a scale of 1:500,000, accompanied by a second sheet containing map unit descriptions and ancillary data....
Water movement through thick unsaturated zones overlying the central High Plains aquifer, southwestern Kansas, 2000-2001
Peter B. McMahon, K.F. Dennehy, R. L. Michel, M.A. Sophocleous, K. M. Ellett, D.B. Hurlbut
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4171
The role of irrigation as a driving force for water and chemical movement to the central High Plains aquifer is uncertain because of the thick unsaturated zone overlying the aquifer. Water potentials and profiles of tritium, chloride, nitrate, and pesticide concentrations were used to evaluate water movement through thick unsaturated...

Geologic Map of the Wilderness and Handy Quadrangles, Oregon, Carter, and Ripley Counties, Missouri
Richard W. Harrison, Robert C. McDowell
2003, IMAP 2801
The bedrock exposed in the Wilderness and Handy Quadrangles, Missouri, comprises Early Ordovician aged dolomite, sandstone, and chert. The sedimentary rocks are nearly flat-lying except where they are adjacent to faults. The carbonate rocks are karstified and the area contains numerous sinkholes, springs, caves, and losing-streams. This map is one of...
The Flood of June 2003 in Southwest Central Florida
Richard L. Kane
2003, Fact Sheet 113-03
A series of severe thunderstorms brought heavy rainfall and flooding to southwest-central Florida during June 21-24, 2003. The storms and resultant precipitation were caused by a late-season stationary cool front (Canadian high pressure ridge) that combined with tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to produce above-normal rainfall over already...

2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4235
Additional sources of water are needed on the Osage Reservation for future growth and development. The Quaternary aquifer along the Arkansas River in the Osage Reservation may represent a substantial water resource, but limited amounts of hydrogeologic data were available for the aquifer. The study area is about 116 square...
