Sediment accumulation in San Leandro Bay, Alameda County, California, during the 20th century -- A preliminary report
K.M. Nolan, C. C. Fuller
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4057
Major changes made in the configuration of San Leandro Bay, Alameda County, California, during the 20th century have caused rapid sedimentation within parts of the Bay. Opening of the Oakland tidal channel and removal of 97% of the marshlands formerly surrounding the Bay have decreased tidal velocities and volumes. Marshland...

Robert J. Kamilli
1986, Open-File Report 86-588
The Baid al Jimalah tungsten deposit flat 25°09 N., long 42°41' E.) is a swarm of steeply dipping, sheeted, tungsten-bearing quartz veins. It is spatially, temporally, and genetically associated with a 569 Ma, highly differentiated, porphyritic granite that intrudes late Proterozoic, immature sandstones of the Murdama group. The bulk of the...

Chemical quality of ground water in Salt Lake Valley, Utah, 1969-85
K.M. Waddell, R. L. Seiler, D. K. Solomon
1986, Open-File Report 86-138
During 1979-84, 35 wells completed in the principal aquifer in the Salt Lake Valley, Utah, that had been sampled during 1962-67 were resampled to determine if water quality changes had occurred. The dissolved solids concentration of the water from 13 of the wells has increased by more than 10% since...
Three-dimensional model simulation of steady-state ground-water flow in the Albuquerque-Belen Basin, New Mexico
J. M. Kernodle, W. B. Scott
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4353
As part of the Southwest Alluvial Basins study, model was constructed to simulate the alluvial aquifer system underlying the Albuquerque-Belen Basin. The model was used to simulate the steady-state flow condition assumed to have existed prior to 1960. Until this time there apparently were no long-term groundwater level changes of...
Water demands in Kansas, 1944-84
J. F. Kenny
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4038
The State of Kansas has administered water rights according to an appropriations doctrine since 1945. Water rights are issued by the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, Division of Water Resources, for eight categories of beneficial use. Water rights data and limited information on reported water use are stored on a...

1986, Open-File Report 86-309
Hydrologic data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 20 small watersheds in the surface-mining areas of the eastern United States from 1980 through 1984 as part of the Survey1 s coal-hydrology program. Each data set includes sediment-concentration, streamflow, and precipitation data collected at 5- or 15-minute intervals. One...
Multichannel seismic-reflection data collected in 1980 in the eastern Chukchi Sea

Ground-water movement and effects of coal strip mining on water quality of high-wall lakes and aquifers in the Macon-Huntsville area, north-central Missouri
D. C. Hall, R. E. Davis
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4102
Glacial drift and Pennsylvanian bedrock were mixed together forming spoil during pre-reclamation strip mining for coal in north-central Missouri. This restructuring of the land increases the porosity of the material, and increases aqueous concentrations of many dissolved constituents. Median sodium and bicarbonate concentrations were slightly greater, calcium 5 times greater,...
