Effects of the 1986 drought on streamflow in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia
Timothy W. Hale, Evelyn H. Hopkins, Robert F. Carter
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4212
A severe drought in the Southeastern United States during 1986 resulted in the lowest flows of record for many streams. Minimum flows in many streams occurred in mid-summer, several months earlier in the year than the minimums that occurred during notable regional droughts of 1954 and 1981. Streamflow data for...

Humic substances in the Suwannee River, Georgia; interactions, properties, and proposed structures
R. C. Averett, J.A. Leenheer, Diane M. McKnight, K. A. Thorn, editor(s)
1989, Open-File Report 87-557
Humic substances as a collective term and humic and fulvic acids as specific terms are not household words. For about a century, these terms belonged to the domain of the soil scientist. Even^though their chemical structures remained elusive, they were recognized as important entities in soil. During the past decade...

1989, Open-File Report 89-333
A gravity survey using nearly 800 stations was conducted over an area of about 13,400 km2 located in the northeast part of the Arabian Shield. The stations were set on spot elevations of relative high density and shown on high-quality l:50,000-scale topographic base maps. The error in a gravity reading due...

Flow characteristics of the Clearwater River and tributaries from Clearbrook to Plummer, northwestern Minnesota
G. A. Payne
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4045
During March through October 1986, 52,560 acre-feet of water passed the continuous-record stream gaging station on the Clearwater River near Clearbrook, Minnesota, 4.8 river miles upstream from the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Flow at the downstream boundary of the Reservation totaled 93,770 acre-feet. The increase in Clearwater River flow in...

Withdrawals and consumptive use of water in Pennsylvania, 1984
C. A. Loper, S. D. Lent, K. L. Wetzel
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4095
Total accountable water withdrawals in Pennsylvania during 1984 were 14,033.66 Mga/d (million gallons per day); of that total, 5.2 percent (729.53 Mgal/d) was supplied from ground-water sources in 94.8 percent (13,302.12 Mgal/d) was supplied from surface-water sources. Thermoelectric power generation accounted for 71 percent of the total withdrawals (10,010.60 Mgal/d);...
Use of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes to trace the larval striped bass food chain in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Estuary, California, April to September 1985
Walter Rast, J.E. Sutton
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4164
To assess one potential cause for the decline of the striped bass fishery in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Estuary, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were used to examine the trophic structures of the larval striped bass food chain, and to trace the flux of these elements through the food chain...
Ground-water-quality-monitoring program in Iowa: Nitrate and pesticides in shallow aquifers
M.G. Detroy, P.K. Hunt, M.A. Holub
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4123
Concern exists about the occurrence of agricultural chemicals, primarily nitrate and pesticides, in shallow ground water. In response to this concern, the focus of the Iowa ground-water-quality-monitoring program has shifted to emphasize nonpoint contaminants. The program, which began in 1982, is operated by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with...
