Recharge to the Eagle Valley ground-water basin by streamflow in Vicee Canyon, west-central Nevada
D. K. Maurer, J.M. Fischer
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4158
Recharge to groundwater could be increased by adding imported water to natural surface water flow in Vicee Canyon, in Eagle Valley, Nevada, where municipal pumping has caused as much as 50 ft of water level decline since 1972. Measurements of infiltration rates, percolation rates, and hydraulic conductivity indicate that the...
Nomenclature of regional hydrogeologic units of the Southeastern Coastal Plain aquifer system
J. A. Miller, R.A. Renken
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4202
Clastic sediments of the Southeastern Coastal Plain aquifer system can be divided into four regional aquifers separated by three regional confining units. The four regional aquifers have been named for major rivers that cut across their outcrop areas and expose the aquifer materials. From youngest to oldest, the aquifers are...

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...
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...
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,...

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...

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...
Evaluation of agricultural best-management practices in the Conestoga River headwaters, Pennsylvania; methods of data collection and analysis and description of study areas
Douglas C. Chichester
1988, Open-File Report 88-96
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a water quality study as part of the nationally implemented Rural Clean Water Program in the headwaters of the Conestoga River, Pennsylvania. The study, which began in 1982, was designed to determine the effect of agricultural best management practices on surface--and groundwater quality. The...
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...

Aggradation and degradation of alluvial sand deposits, 1965 to 1986, Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona; executive summary
J. C. Schmidt, J.B. Graf
1988, Open-File Report 87-561
High discharges that occurred in 1983-85 resulted in redistribution of sand stored in zones of recirculating current in the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. Redistribution resulted in net loss in the number of reattachment deposits in narrow reaches and aggradation of some separation deposits. Separation deposits were more...
