Use of tracer injections and synoptic sampling to measure metal loading from acid mine drainage
Briant A. Kimball
1997, Fact Sheet 245-96
Thousands of abandoned and inactive mines are located in environmentally sensitive mountain watersheds. Cost-effective remediation of the effects of metals from mining in these watersheds requires knowledge of the most significant sources of metals. The significance of a given source depends on the toxicity of a particular metal, how much...
Geohydrology and simulation of ground-water flow for the Ohio River alluvial aquifer near Owensboro, northwestern Kentucky
M.D. Unthank
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4274
The Ohio River alluvial aquifer is the primary source of drinking water for the residents of Owensboro and Daviess County and adjacent counties in Kentucky. The aquifer consists of sand and gravel deposits that partly fill a bedrock-valley system consisting of shales of Pennsylvanian age. The valley is a result...

S. Jeffress Williams
1997, Fact Sheet 108-97
Nearly half of all Americans live within an hour's drive of an ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Great Lakes. The U.S. coastal oceans are an economically vital transportation, commercial and recreational resource. They provide food, energy, and minerals for the entire Nation: on a global scale, they harbor...
Regional equations for estimation of peak-streamflow frequency for natural basins in Texas
William H. Asquith, Raymond M. Slade Jr.
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4307
Peak-streamflow frequency estimates are needed for flood-plain management; for objective assessment of flood risk; and for cost-effective design of dams, levees, other flood-control structures, roads, bridges, and culverts. Peak-streamflow frequency represents the peak discharges for recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years. The U.S. Geological Survey,...

Time of travel of solutes in the Sabine River basin, Texas, August-November 1996
Timothy H. Raines
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4065
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Sabine River Authority, did a time-of-travel study in the Sabine River Basin during low flow from August to November 1996. The study was done to provide accurate estimates of the time-of-travel and dispersion characteristics for solutes during low flow in a...

Temperature, snowmelt, and the onset of spring season landslides in the central Rocky Mountains
Alan F. Chleborad
1997, Open-File Report 97-27
Snow meltwater (snowmelt) that seeps into the subsurface is a major factor contributing to the development of landslides during the spring in mountainous areas of the Rocky Mountain region. An examination of historical temperature data in relation to spring season landslide occurrences reveals an association between the landslide events and...
