Multiple-regression equations for estimating low flows at ungaged stream sites in Ohio
G. F. Koltun, R.R. Schwartz
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4354
This report presents multiple-regression equations for estimating selected low-flow characteristics for most unregulated Ohio streams at sites where little or no discharge data are available. The equations relate combinations of drainage area, main-channel length, main-channel slope, average basin elevation, forested area, average annual precipitation, and an index of infiltration to...
Flooding and sedimentation in Wheeling Creek basin, Belmont County, Ohio
J.R. Kolva, G. F. Koltun
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4053
The Wheeling Creek basin, which is located primarily in Belmont County, Ohio, experienced three damaging floods and four less severe floods during the 29-month period from February 1979 through June 1981. Residents of the basin became concerned about factors that could have affected the severity and frequency of out-of-bank floods....
Geohydrology and water quality of the Inyan Kara, Minnelusa, and Madison aquifers of the northern Black Hills, South Dakota and Wyoming, and Bear Lodge Mountains, Wyoming
D.P. Kyllonen, K. D. Peter
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4158
The Inyan Kara, Minnelusa, and Madison aquifers are the principal sources of ground water in the northern Black Hills, South Dakota and Wyoming, and Bear Lodge Mountains, Wyoming. The aquifers are exposed in the Bear Lodge Mountains and the Black Hills and are about 3,000 to 5,000 ft below the...
Reconnaissance investigation of sediment distribution, erosion, and transport in the upper Deschutes River, Deschutes County, Oregon, November 1986
K. A. Cameron, J. J. Major
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4114
A preliminary investigation of sediment distribution, erosion, and transport in the upper Deschutes River was conducted in response to the perceived problem that brown trout spawning gravels were being rendered unusable due to an accumulation of fine-grained sediment. Contrary to the contention that channel gravels are being covered by fine-grained...

Cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia
David H. Carpenter, R.W. James Jr., D.F. Gillen
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4093
This report documents the results of a cost-effectiveness study of the stream-gaging program in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. Data uses and funding sources were identified for 99 continuously operated stream gages in Maryland , Delaware, and the District of Columbia. The current operation of the program requires...
Flood hazard assessment of the Hoh River at Olympic National Park ranger station, Washington
D. L. Kresch, T.C. Pierson
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4198
Federal regulations require buildings and public facilities on Federal land to be located beyond or protected from inundation by a 100-year flood. Flood elevations, velocities and boundaries were determined for the occurrence of a 100-year flood through a reach, approximately 1-mi-long, of the Hoh River at the ranger station complex...
Water resources of Walworth County, South Dakota
Jack Kume, Lewis Howells
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4015
The water resources of Walworth County, South Dakota are for the most part undeveloped. In 1978, only about 10,000 acre-feet of water was used for irrigation, stock, domestic, and public supplies; most of this water came form Lake Oahe on the Missouri River, and was used for irrigation. The lake...

Estimated use of ground water for irrigation in Wisconsin, 1984
J. T. Krohelski, B.R. Ellefson, C.A. Storlie
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4079
The flow from a sample of 143 irrigation wells from 6 irrigation areas in Wisconsin was measured using an external flowmeter during the 1983-84 irrigation seasons. The measured pumpages were correlated with reported pumpages. The equation that describes this correlation is Q(sub)m = 0.86 x Q(sub)r where Q(sub)m is the...

The Worley Ridge Roadless Area includes about 3,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest land in Rabun County, Ga. The area is underlain mostly by meta-arkose of the Tallulah Falls Formation that grades upward into a mixed-rock unit of interlayered mica schist, amphibolite, and metasandstone in the northwest corner. Abundant rock...
