Pilot study for collection of bridge-scour data
R.D. Jarrett, J. M. Boyle
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4030
Scour around bridges is a serious problem on many rivers; bridge failure often is attributed to undermining of piers or abutments by scour. A pilot study was made at four bridge sites in Colorado to develop and test guidelines for collecting scour data onsite during high flows. These guidelines potentially...

Georginna E. Kues
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4325
In 1980, toxic chemicals were detected in water samples from wells in and near Albuquerque 's San Jose well field. At the request of the Environmental Improvement Division of the New Mexico Health and Environment Department, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study to determine groundwater levels and flow direction....
Ground-water levels and use of water for irrigation in the Saratoga Valley, south-central Wyoming, 1980-81
L. W. Lenfest
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4040
Although surface water is the principal source of irrigation water in the Saratoga Valley, Wyoming, development of groundwater for irrigation is increasing. Most of the 30 irrigation wells in the valley are capable of producing more than 200 gallons per minute. Approximately 2,700 acre-feet of groundwater for irrigation were pumped...
Time-of-travel and reaeration data for seven small streams in Alabama, June 1983 to August 1984
R. A. Gardner
1986, Open-File Report 86-312
Time-of-travel and reaeration data were collected between June 1983 and August 1984 for seven small streams in Alabama. Rhodamine WT was used as a tracer for all the studies and propane was used in the reaeration studies. Mean velocities through the study reaches ranged from 0.06 to 0.67 ft/sec. Computed...

Leachate migration from an in situ oil-shale retort near Rock Springs, Wyoming
K. C. Glover
1986, Open-File Report 85-575
Geohydrologic factors influencing leachate movement from an in situ oil shale retort near Rock Springs, Wyoming, were investigated by developing models of groundwater flow and solute transport. Leachate, indicated by the conservative ion thiocyanate, has been observed 1/2 mi downgradient from the retort. The contaminated aquifer is part of the...
