Prediction of traveltime and longitudinal dispersion in rivers and streams
Harvey E. Jobson
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4013
The possibility of a contaminant being accidentally or intentionally spilled upstream from a water supply is a constant concern to those diverting and using water from streams and rivers. Although many excellent models are available to estimate traveltime and dispersion, none can be used with confidence before calibration and verification...

Numerical Analysis of Ground-Water Flow and Salinity in the Ewa Area, Oahu, Hawaii
Delwyn S. Oki, William R. Souza, Edward I. Bolke, Glenn R. Bauer
1996, Open-File Report 96-442
The coastal plain in the Ewa area of southwestern Oahu, Hawaii, is part of a larger, nearly continuous sedimentary coastal plain along Oahu's southern coast. The coastal sediments are collectively known as caprock because they impede the free discharge of ground water from the underlying volcanic aquifers. The caprock is...
Methods of analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory-In-bottle acid digestion of whole-water samples
G. L. Hoffman, M. J. Fishman, J.R. Garbarino
1996, Open-File Report 96-225
Water samples for trace-metal determinations routinely have been prepared in open laboratories. For example, the U.S. Geological Survey method I-3485-85 (Extraction Procedure, for Water- Suspended Sediment) is performed in a laboratory hood on a laboratory bench without any special precautions to control airborne contamination. This method tends to be contamination...

1996, Open-File Report 96-395
Two maps, compiled at 1:1 million scale, depict mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the part of the United States east of Cleveland, Ohio and north of the southern limit of glaciation. The maps are mutually consistent in that runoff equals precipitation minus evapotranspiration everywhere. The runoff map is...

K. A. McCarthy
1996, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4181
Increasing urbanization in the 67-square-mile Clover Creek Basin has generated interest in the effects of land-use changes on local water quality. To investigate these effects, water-quality and streamflow data were collected from 19 surface-water sites in the basin over a 16-month period from January 1991 through April 1992. These data...
