Effects of urbanization on storm-runoff volume and peak discharge of Valley Creek, eastern Chester County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4196
Peak discharge and runoff volume were simulated for 21 storms in the Valley Creek basin using the U.S. Geological Survey Distributed Routing Rainfall-Runoff Model (DR3M). Storm peak discharges ranged from 301 to 900 cubic feet per second. Rainfall was measured at three recording rain gages in the basin. Observed and...
Selected hydrologic data for Pahvant Valley and adjacent areas, Millard County, Utah, 1987
Susan A. Thiros
1988, Open-File Report 88-195
This report contains hydrologic data collected in Pahvant Valley and adjacent areas from 1909 to 1987. The report area is mainly comprised of Pahvant Valley on the east and the southern part of the Sevier Desert on the west (plate 1). The area is in west-central Utah, within the Basin...
Regionalization of mean annual suspended-sediment loads in streams, central, northwestern, and southwestern Colorado
J. G. Elliott
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4193
Regression analysis was used to develop models for estimating mean annual suspended-sediment loads for streams in Colorado. Mean annual suspended-sediment loads at 81 selected streamflow-gaging stations in the central, northwestern, and southwestern regions of Colorado were expressed as functions of geomorphic and hydrologic variables. A multiple-regression model that included mean...
Studies of the early Mesozoic basins of the eastern United States

1988, Bulletin 1776
The papers collected in this volume are extended versions selected from material given as oral and poster presentations at a workshop called "Geology of the Early Mesozoic Basins of Eastern North America,' held at the National Center of the US Geological Survey, May 11-14, 1987. The section titles are: 1)...
The Spokane aquifer, Washington: its geologic origin and water-bearing and water-quality characteristics
Dee Molenaar
1988, Water Supply Paper 2265
The Spokane aquifer is an unconfined aquifer consisting of coarse sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders deposited during several catastrophic glacial outburst floods--known as the Spokane Floods---of Pleistocene time. The aquifer is one of the most productive in the United States, and, as the only significant source of good-quality water supply...
Water use on the Snake River plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
S. A. Goodell
1988, Professional Paper 1408-E
Amounts of water withdrawn and consumptively used for irrigation and other uses on the Snake River Plain were estimated to help deter- mine hydrologic effects of ground- and surface-water use. Irrigation is the largest off stream use of water on the plain. Surface-water irriga- tion began in the 1840's and...
Hydrogeology, aquifer characteristics, and ground-water flow of the surficial aquifer system, Broward County, Florida
J.E. Fish
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4034
The surficial aquifer system, in which an unconfined groundwater flow system exists, comprises the sediments from land surface to the intermediate confining unit (formerly called the Floridan aquiclude) in Broward County, Florida. These sediments have hydraulic conductivities that range more than seven orders of magnitude from about 0.001 ft/d to...
Estimated Use of Water in the United States in 1985
Wayne B. Solley, Charles F. Merk, Robert R. Pierce
1988, Circular 1004
Water withdrawals in the United States during 1985 were estimated to average 399,000 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) of freshwater and saline water for offstream uses--10 percent less than the 1980 estimate. Average per-capita use for all offstream uses was 1,650 gallons per day (gal/d) of freshwater and saline water...
Simulation of ground-water flow in aquifers along the Susquehanna River in Columbia County, Pennsylvania
J.H. Williams, G.E. Senko
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4185
A numerical model of groundwater flow was developed for a 10.3 sq mi area along the Susquehanna River in Columbia County, east central Pennsylvania. Groundwater in the model area primarily is in secondary openings in the carbonate--and clastic-rock aquifers and primary openings in the glacial-outwash aquifer that discontinuously overlies bedrock....
A digital simulation of the glacial-aquifer system in Sanborn and parts of Beadle, Miner, Hanson, Davison, and Jerauld counties, South Dakota
P.J. Emmons
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4082
The drought in South Dakota from 1974-76 and the near drought conditions in 1980-81 have resulted in increased demands on the groundwater resources within many of the irrigated areas of the James River basin in eastern South Dakota. These increases in demand for irrigation water from the glacial aquifer system,...
