1995, Open-File Report 95-553
An erupting volcano is one of nature's truly spectacular sights. From a distance, or perhaps through the cameras of the news media, we often observe roiling mushroom clouds of ash or flows of incandescent lava issuing from the volcano's throat. If, however, you happen to live near that erupting volcano,...

Ground-water quality protection; why it's important to you
Ank Webbers
1995, Open-File Report 95-376
Ground water is a valuable resource often used for industry, commerce, agriculture, and drinking water. In the 19080's, ground water provided 35 percent of the municipal water supplies in the United States and 95 percent of the rural, domestic drinking water. Scientists participating in ground-water studies may determine the...

Monthly Statistical summaries of surface-water temperatures collected at 277 U.S. Geological Survey surface-water sites in New Jersey and adjoining states are tabulated. The study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, to provide temperature data to characterize the condition of...
Effects of selective forest clearing fertilization, and liming on the hydrology and water quality of a small tributary to the Quabbin Reservoir, central Massachusetts
J. B. Shanley, J. L. Strause, J. C. Risley
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4124
Effects of selective forest clearing on water yield and water quality were investigated in a 308-hectare basin that drains to Quabbin Reservoir Watershed in central Massachusetts. The experimental basin and a nearby 280-hectare control basin were studied together for comparison. Streamflow was measured continuously and water-quality samples were collected biweekly...

Land subsidence, the loss of surface elevation as a result of the removal of subsurface support, affects every state in the United States. More than 17,000 mi2 of land in the United States has been lowered by the various processes that produce land subsidence with annual costs from resulting flooding...
The effect of acidic, metal-enriched drainage from the Wightman Fork and Alamosa River on the composition of selected wetlands in San Luis Valley, Colorado

The biogeochemistry of selected wetlands in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, was examined to assess the effect of acidic, metal-enriched water draining mineralized areas near and around the Summitville Mine. The sampling protocols, analytical methods, and chemical composition of water and stream bed sediment from the Wightman Fork and Alamosa...
Sediment oxygen demand in the lower Willamette River, Oregon, 1994
