Ground-water pumpage in the Willamette lowland regional aquifer system, Oregon and Washington, 1990
Charles A. Collins, Tyson M. Broad
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4111
Ground-water pumpage for 1990 was estimated for an area of about 5,700 square miles in northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington as part of the Puget-Willamette Lowland Regional Aquifer System Analysis study. The estimated total ground-water pumpage in 1990 was about 340,000 acre-feet. Ground water in the study area is pumped...
Development, verification, and application of a simplified method to estimate total-streambed scour at bridge sites in Illinois
Robert R. Holmes Jr., Chad J. Dunn
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4298
A simplified method to estimate total-streambed scour was developed for application to bridges in the State of Illinois. Scour envelope curves, developed as empirical relations between calculated total scour and bridge-site chracteristics for 213 State highway bridges in Illinois, are used in the method to estimate the 500-year flood scour....

1996, Fact Sheet 217-96
The U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program has three objectives, one of which is "to define trends (or lack of trends) in water quality" (Leahy and others, 1990). Water-quality trends are of interest for at least three reasons: First, trends can improve our understanding of the influence of...

The U.S. Geologcal Survey (USGS) is one of the agencies that provides this needed...
The Importance of Reserve Growth to the Nation's Supply of Natural Gas
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1996, Fact Sheet 202-96
Experience shows that initial estimates of the size of newly discovered oil or gas fields are usually too low. As years pass, successive estimates of the ultimate recovery of fields tend to increase. The term "reserve growth" refers to the typical increases in estimated ultimate recovery that occur as oil...
