Bottled water, spas, and early years of water chemistry
William Back, Edward R. Landa, Lisa Meeks
1995, Groundwater (33) 605-614
Although hot springs have been used and enjoyed for thousands of years, it was not until the late 1700s that they changed the course of world civilization by being the motivation for development of the science of chemistry. The pioneers of chemistry such as Priestley, Cavendish, Lavoisier, and Henry were...

Methods for estimating the magnitude and frequency of peak discharges of rural, unregulated streams in Virginia
James A. Bisese
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4148
Methods are presented for estimating the peak discharges of rural, unregulated streams in Virginia. A Pearson Type III distribution is fitted to the logarithms of the unregulated annual peak-discharge records from 363 stream-gaging stations in Virginia to estimate the peak discharge at these stations for recurrence intervals of 2 to...

Photogeologic map showing distribution of sinkholes south of Fairplay, Park County, Colorado — A possible geologic hazard
D. R. Shawe, T. A. Steven, R. B. Taylor, C. H. Maxwell
1995, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2295
A large group of at least 50, and perhaps significantly more, sinkholes partially surrounds Black Mountain 6-10 mi south Fairplay in South Park, Park County, Colorado. The sinkholes occur in bedrock in the evaporite facies of the Middle Pennsylvania Minturn Formation, and in Quaternary soil, alluvium, and glacial outwash gravels...
Review of sediment data in the South Platte River Basin, Colorado, 1980-92
Janet S. Heiny
1995, Fact Sheet 153-95
Suspended-sediment transport and its relation to water quality are important issues in the South Platte River Basin. Most sediment enters the South Platte River during snowmelt runoff from March to June. The suspended sediment varies by particle size, concentration, and load. Suspended-sediment data in the South Platte River for water...

Geometeorological data collected by the USGS Desert Winds Project at Gold Spring, Great Basin desert, northeastern Arizona, 1979-1992
P. J. Helm, C. S. Breed, R. K. Tigges, P. A. Garcia
1995, Open-File Report 95-78
The primary purpose of the Desert Winds Project (DWP) is to obtain high-resolution meteorological data and related surface geological and vegetation data for natural (e.g., uncultivated) desert sites where wind is or has been a major erosive or depositional force. The objectives are twofold: (1) to provide the detailed field...
