Water use in Kentucky, 1985
C.J. Sholar, V.D. Lee
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4043
Water use information for 1985 was collected and reported by county for eight major categories of use. Seven of the categories were offstream uses, which included (1) public supply , (2) commercial, (3) domestic, (4) industrial, (5) mining, (6) thermoelectric, and (7) agricultural uses. The agricultural uses category was separated...

Geohydrology and susceptibility of major aquifers to surface contamination in Alabama; area 12
J. C. Scott, R.H. Cobb
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4078
This report delineates and describes the geohydrology and susceptibility of major aquifers to contamination in Coffee, Dale, Henry, Houston, and Geneva Counties, Alabama. The major aquifers are the Upper Floridan, Lisbon, Nanafalia-Clayton, and Providence-Ripley aquifers. Estimated groundwater withdrawals for public water supplies are about 42 million gal/day. Maximum withdrawals for...

Results of a geochemical survey, Aban Al Ahmar Quadrangle, Sheet 25F, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
W. Roger Miller, M. A. Arnold
1988, Open-File Report 88-605
The interpretation of geochemical data from a regional survey of the Aban al Ahmar quadrangle resulted in the selection of areas for follow-up studies. The results of detailed geochemical studies of these areas, combined with field observation, resulted in the selection of areas of moderate to high mineral resource potential....

Reconnaissance investigation of water quality, bottom sediment, and biota associated with irrigation drainage in the middle Green River basin, Utah, 1986-87
D. W. Stephens, Bruce Waddell, J. B. Miller
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4011
Reconnaissance of wildlife areas in the middle Green River basin of Utah was conducted during 1986 and 1987 to determine whether irrigation drainage has caused, or has the potential to cause significant harmful effects on human health, fish, and wildlife, or may adversely affect the suitability of water for beneficial...

Geohydrology of the Flathead Indian Reservation, northwestern Montana
S.E. Slagle
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4142
The geohydrology of the Flathead Indian Reservation was studied to provide information needed to formulate groundwater development plans. Bedrock in the area consists predominantly of slightly metamorphosed carbonate and fine-grained clasitc rocks of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup. Valley-fill deposits consist of alluvium of Holocene age; glacial and glaciolacustrine boulders, cobbles,...

Effects of flood controls proposed for West Branch Brandywine Creek, Chester County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4054
Twenty-four-hour rainfall, distributed over time according to the U.S. Soil Conservation Service type II rainfall distribution, was used as input to calibrated rainfall-runoff models of three subbasins in the West Branch Brandywine Creek watershed. The effects of four proposed flood controls were evaluated by using these rainfalls to simulate discharge...
Effects of urbanization on storm-runoff volume and peak discharge of Valley Creek, eastern Chester County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4196
Peak discharge and runoff volume were simulated for 21 storms in the Valley Creek basin using the U.S. Geological Survey Distributed Routing Rainfall-Runoff Model (DR3M). Storm peak discharges ranged from 301 to 900 cubic feet per second. Rainfall was measured at three recording rain gages in the basin. Observed and...

1988, Professional Paper 1434
A catastrophic rainstorm in central California on January 3-5,1982, dropped as much as half the mean annual precipitation within a period of about 32 hours, triggering landslides and floods throughout 10 counties in the vicinity of the San Francisco Bay. More than 18,000 of the slides induced by the storm...

Water resources research institutes, as authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-242), are located in each state and in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico , and the Virgin Islands. Public Law 98-242 mandated an onsite evaluation of each of these institutes to determine...
Some acanthoceratid ammonites from upper Cenomanian (Upper Cretaceous) rocks of Wyoming
William A. Cobban
1988, Professional Paper 1353
Ammonites of the genera Calycoceras, Dunueganoceras, and Metoicoceras are useful in zoning the Frontier Formation of central and north-central Wyoming and the mostly undifferentiated rocks of northeastern Wyoming that are equivalent in age to the Belle Fourche Shale and Greenhorn Formation. The oldest of the four zones identified contains Dunueganoceras...
