Amy M. Matzen, David A. Saad
1997, Fact Sheet 192-96
In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began implementation of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. The long-term goals of the NAWQA Program are to describe the status and trends in the quality of a large, representative part of the Nation's surface- and ground- water resources, and to identify,...

1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4296
McCarthy, Alaska, is on the Kennicott River, about 1 mile from the terminus of Kennicott Glacier in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Most visitors to McCarthy and the park cross the West Fork Kennicott River using a hand-pulled tram and cross the East Fork Kennicott River on a...

Water quality of selected streams in Montgomery County, Indiana, 1996
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1997, Fact Sheet 041-97
The USGS sampled streams in Montgomery County as part of a study done in cooperation with the Montgomery County Commissioners. The sampling program was designed by the Montgomery County Sanitarian and USGS hydrologists. The program focused on assessing general surface-water quality throughout the county and also targeted some specific areas...
Trends in acetochlor concentrations in surface waters of the White River Basin, Indiana, 1994–96
Charles G. Crawford
1997, Fact Sheet 1997–0058
Corn herbicides are used extensively in the White River Basin and account for about 70 percent of the total agricultural pesticide use in the basin. Acetochlor, a corn herbicide registered for use in 1994, is expected to reduce the total amount of corn herbicides used because of its broad-spectrum weed...
Real-time rainfall measurement in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
W. F. Hazell, Jerad D. Bales
1997, Fact Sheet 052-97
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has measured rainfall at various locations in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, since 1963. Between 1992 and 1997, the USGS, in cooperation with Charlotte Stormwater Services, installed 43 raingages throughout Mecklengburg County and adjoining counties. These 43 raingages, combined with three previously installed gages, compose a...

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,...
Extensional reactivation of the Chocolate Mountains subduction thrust in the Gavilan Hills of southeastern California
F.R. Oyarzabal, C.E. Jacobson, Gordon B. Haxel
1997, Tectonics (16) 650-661
The NE vergent Chocolate Mountains fault of south-eastern California has been interpreted as either a subduction thrust responsible for burial and prograde metamorphism of the ensimatic Orocopia Schist or as a normal fault involved in the exhumation of the schist. Our detailed structural analysis in the Gavilan Hills area provides...
Multiscale sampling of plant diversity: Effects of minimum mapping unit size
Thomas J. Stohlgren, Geneva W. Chong, M. A. Kalkhan, L. D. Schell
1997, Ecological Applications (7) 1064-1074
Only a small portion of any landscape can be sampled for vascular plant diversity because of constraints of cost (salaries, travel time between sites, etc.). Often, the investigator decides to reduce the cost of creating a vegetation map by increasing the minimum mapping unit (MMU), and/or by reducing the number...

Hydrogeology and potential for ground-water development, carbonate-rock aquifers, southern Nevada and southeastern California
T. J. Burbey
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4168
Seventeen hydrographic areas in southern Nevada were assessed for the ground-water development potential of the underlying carbonate-rock aquifers on the basis of geologic and hydrologic information developed as part of the Nevada Carbonate Aquifers Study and information compiled from previous investigations. All selected areas lie within a miogeoclinal belt where...
