Selected aquifer-test information for the coastal plain aquifers of South Carolina
W. R. Aucott, Roy Newcome
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4159
Aquifer and well hydraulic characteristics were determined from more than 100 multiple-well and single-well aquifer tests in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina and tabulated by county. Multiple-well aquifer tests were analyzed by the This method for nonleaky aquifers and the Hantush-Jacob method for leaky aquifers. Single-well tests were analyzed...

Hydrogeologic data from a 2,000-foot deep core hole at Polk City, Green Swamp area, central Florida
A. S. Navoy
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4257
Two core holes were drilled to depths of 906 and 1,996 feet, respectively, within the Tertiary limestone (Floridan) aquifers, at Polk City, central Florida. Data from the two holes revealed that the bottom of the zone of vigorous groundwater circulation is confined by carbonate rocks at a depth of about...

A data-management system for detailed areal interpretive data
C.F. Ferrigno
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4091
A data storage and retrieval system has been developed to organize and preserve areal interpretive data. This system can be used by any study where there is a need to store areal interpretive data that generally is presented in map form. This system provides the capability to grid areal interpretive...
Quantity and quality of storm runoff from three urban catchments in Bellevue, Washington
E. A. Prych, J.C. Ebbert
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4000
Data on the quantity and quality of urban runoff were collected, analyzed, and used to evaluate the effects of street sweeping and of stormwater detention on quality of runoff. The data included rainfall, runoff discharge, concentrations of selected constituents in discrete samples of runoff, and chemical characteristics of wet- and...
Hydrology of the leeward aquifers, southeast Oahu, Hawaii
Paul R. Eyre, Charles J. Ewart, Patricia J. Shade
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4270
The leeward southeast Oahu ground-water area includes the Waialae and Wailupe-Hawaii Kai aquifers. The Waialae aquifer is separated from the ground water of Kaimuki to the west by Palolo valley fill and the Kaau rift zone, and from the Wailupe-Hawaii Kai aquifer to the east by a line of northeast-trending...
Evaluation of wet-line depth-correction methods for cable-suspended current meters
W.F. Coon, James C. Futrell
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4329
Wet-line depth corrections for cable-suspended current meter and weight not perpendicular to the water surface have been evaluated using cable-suspended weights towed by a boat in still water. A fathometer was used to track a Columbus sounding weight and to record its actual depth for several apparent depths, weight sizes,...

Observations of the eruptions of July 22 and August 7, 1980, at Mount St. Helens, Washington
Richard P. Hoblitt
1986, Professional Paper 1335
The explosive eruptions of July 22 and August 7, 1980, at Mount St. Helens, Wash., both included multiple eruptive pulses. The beginnings of three of the pulses-two on July 22 and one on August 7-were witnessed and photographed. Each of these three began with a fountain of gases and pyroclasts...
Ground-water hydrology and subsurface migration of radionuclides at a commercial radioactive-waste burial site, West Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York
David E. Prudic
1986, Professional Paper 1325
Low-level radioactive wastes were buried from 1963-75 in trenches excavated in a clay-rich till about 28 meters thick. Beneath the till is a lacustrine sequence that is unsaturated in its upper part and acts as a drain to the till. The till is nearly isotropic; hydraulic conductivity ranges between 2...

Ice volumes on Cascade Volcanoes: Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, Three Sisters, and Mount Shasta
Carolyn L. Driedger, Paul M. Kennard
1986, Professional Paper 1365
During the eruptions of Mount St. Helens the occurrence of floods and mudflows made apparent the need for predictive water-hazard analysis of other Cascade volcanoes. A basic requirement for such analysis is information about the volumes and distributions of snow and ice on other volcanoes. A radar unit contained in a...
