Habitat Suitability Index Models: American eider (breeding)
A. K. Blumton, Ray B. Owen Jr., William B. Krohn
1988, FWS/OBS 82/10.149
INTRODUCTION The common eider (Somateria mollissima) consists of five subspecies; four are found in North America (Palmer 1976). Six management populations of common eiders have recently been defined in eastern Canada and the United States (Reed and Erskine 1986). The American edier (S. mollissima dresseri), of which three populations are recognized...

S. H. Jones, Chester Zenone
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4278
Broad areas along the lower Resurrection River and Salmon Creek as well as the surfaces of several adjacent alluvial fans in the Seward area were flooded as a result of the intensive rainstorm of October 9-11, 1986. Severe erosion took place through the steep gradient, mountain canyons and near the...
Recharge to the Eagle Valley ground-water basin by streamflow in Vicee Canyon, west-central Nevada
D. K. Maurer, J.M. Fischer
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4158
Recharge to groundwater could be increased by adding imported water to natural surface water flow in Vicee Canyon, in Eagle Valley, Nevada, where municipal pumping has caused as much as 50 ft of water level decline since 1972. Measurements of infiltration rates, percolation rates, and hydraulic conductivity indicate that the...

Programs for generating data tables for the annual water-resources data report of the U.S. Geological Survey
R.R. Mason, C.L. Hill
1988, Open-File Report 88-173
The U.S. Geological Survey has developed software that interfaces with the Automated Data Processing System to facilitate and expedite preparation of the annual water-resources data report. This software incorporates a feature that prepares daily values tables and appends them to previously edited files containing station manuscripts. Other features collate the...

1988, Open-File Report 88-301
The computed annual yield and deficiency of the subbasins are defined in the Arkansas River Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, are given in tables. Actual runoff from the subbasins and depletion caused by major reservoirs in the compact area are also given in tabular form. Monthly, maximum, and mean discharges are shown for...

A topographic survey of McKenzie Slough, N. Dak., was conducted from August 1984 through August 1986 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Burleigh County Water Resources District. McKenzie Slough is located near the town of McKenzie, N. Dak. McKenzie is about 18 miles east of the city...
Selected annotated bibliographies for adaptive filtering of digital image data
Margaret Mayers, Lynnette Wood
1988, Open-File Report 88-104
Digital spatial filtering is an important tool both for enhancing the information content of satellite image data and for implementing cosmetic effects which make the imagery more interpretable and appealing to the eye. Spatial filtering is a context-dependent operation that alters the gray level of a pixel by computing a...

Simulated changes in ground-water flow caused by hypothetical pumping in southeastern Carson City, Nevada
D. K. Maurer
1988, Open-File Report 87-769
An existing groundwater model was used to simulate changes in groundwater flow caused by hypothetical pumping in an area near the south-eastern part of Carson City, Nevada. A total of five hypothetical pumping patterns were used in the model simulations. The simulations assumed two pumping rates: total annual average pumpage...

1988, Open-File Report 88-339
Annual pumpage of the municipal supply wells in Santa Fe, New Mexico has fluctuated from zero to over 4,000 acre-ft in a seemingly random manner during the period from 1950 to 1986. Water levels of seven selected observation wells have shown an overall gradual decrease in altitude ranging from about...
