J.L. Gaylord, R.M. Slade, L.M. Ruiz, C.T. Welborn, E.T. Baker
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4333
The Camp Swift lignite area was studied to describe the hydrogeology and to provide baseline data of the ground-water and surface-water resources that could be affected by the strip mining of lignite. The investigation was centered on the 18-square mile Camp Swift Military Reservation where a reported 80 to 100...

Evaluation of the precipitation-runoff modeling system, Beaver Creek basin, Kentucky
D.E. Bower
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4316
The Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) was evaluated with data from Cane branch and Helton Branch in the Beaver Creek basin of Kentucky. Because of previous studies, 10.6 years of record were available to establish a data base for the basin including 60 storms for Cane Branch and 50 storms...
Delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee — The Knox Aquifer in central and west Tennessee
J. V. Brahana, M. W. Bradley
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4012
The Knox aquifer is composed of the Cambrian and Ordovician age carbonate rocks of the Knox Group. This aquifer occurs throughout Tennessee, west of the Valley and Ridge province. The Knox crops out in the Sequatchie Valley and in the Wells Creeks cryptoexplosive structure on the Northwestern Highland Rim. Groundwater...
Preliminary evaluation of the Central Basin aquifer system in Tennessee for receiving injected wastes
M. W. Bradley
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4103
An aquifer may be allowed to receive injected wastes where the aquifer meets criteria established in the Environmental Protection Agency 's Underground Injection Control program. The Central Basin aquifer system in Tennessee consists of Ordovician to Devonian carbonate rocks and it occurs from the Valley and Ridge province to west...
Geohydrology of rocks penetrated by test well USW H-4, Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada

Test well USW H-4 is one of several wells drilled in the southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site for hydraulic testing, hydrologic monitoring, and geophysical logging. The work was performed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy. The rocks penetrated by the well to a total depth of...
Traveltime, longitudinal-dispersion, reaeration, and basin characteristics of the White River, Colorado and Utah
J. M. Boyle, N.E. Spahr
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4050
Traveltime and longitudinal-dispersion characteristics were measured for the White River using dye tracers. Discharges ranged from 281 to 1,840 cubic feet per second and velocities ranged from 1.26 to 3.17 miles per hour. Traveltimes were determined for discharges other than measured discharges by a graphical method and a linear-regression method....
Geochemical controls on dissolved sodium in basalt aquifers of the Columbia Plateau, Washington
