D. W. Stephens
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4056
Concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the Jordan River in Salt Lake County decrease considerably as the river flows northward. Mean concentrations of dissolved oxygen decreased from 8.1 milligrams per liter at the Jordan Narrows to 4.7 milligrams per liter at 500 North Street during April 1981 to September 1982. Coincident...

Estimate of self-supplied domestic water use in Oklahoma during 1980
J.D. Stoner
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4223
Reported or measured water-use data for the domestic self-supplied user were not available for Oklahoma; therefore estimates of water use within this classification were derived. The total self-supplied population in Oklahoma during 1980 was estimated to be 343,615, which was 11.4 percent of the total 1980 State population. The rate...

Ground-water-quality monitoring network design for the San Joaquin Valley ground-water basin, California
William E. Templin
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4080
Ideal and actual ground-water-quality monitoring networks are proposed for the San Joaquin Valley basin in California. The ideal network, which comprises several subnetworks, provides direction in the development of an actual network of wells currently monitored by known operating agencies. The ideal network can serve as a basis for the...

Water resources of Ponape, Caroline Islands
Otto Van der Brug
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4139
Ponape is the third largest island in the western Pacific, with a land area of 129 square miles. The island is volcanic, nearly circular in shape, and covered with lush tropical vegetation. The mountainous interior has the highest peaks in the western Pacific. Annual rainfall at Kolonia and other coastal...
Quality of water in the alluvial aquifer, American Bottoms, East St. Louis, Illinois
David C. Voelker
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4180
Ground-water levels in the American Bottoms regions around East St. Louis, Illinois, have risen several feet since the early 1970's. Artificial dewatering of the aquifer by increased pumping is being investigated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to alleviate economic and health concerns resulting from elevated ground-water levels. A...

Sanitary quality of the Jordan River in Salt Lake County, Utah
K. R. Thompson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4252
This investigation of the sanitary quality of the Jordan River was conducted from July 1980 to October 1982 using indicator bacteria rather than specific pathogens. A serious sanitary problem was identified. Concentrations of total coliform bacteria often exceeded 5,000 colonies per 100 milliliters and concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria often...

A pragmatic approach to evaluating a multipurpose stream-gaging network
K.L. Wahl, J. R. Crippen
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4228
A method for evaluating the relative worth of individual streamflow gaging stations in a multipupose network is presented. Each individual gaging station in the network is evaluated on the basis of selected rating factors. The factors relate to the need for information at the gaging stations, accuracy of data, economic...
