Estimation of nonpoint sources of phosphorus for lakes in the Puget Sound region, Washington
Robert J. Gilliom
1983, Open-File Report 82-161
Control of eutrophication of lakes in watersheds undergoing development is facilitated by estimates of the amounts of phosphorus (P) that reach the lakes from areas under various types of land use. Using a mass-balance model, the writer calculated P loadings from present-day P concentrations measured in lake water and from...
A preliminary assessment of the hydrologic characteristics of the James River in South Dakota
R.D. Benson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4077
The James River in South Dakota has very restricted channel capacities within the Lake Dakota Plain. Channel capacities in Brown County are as little as 200 cubic feet per second, and spring flooding can be expected on an average of every other year. The river has potential for extended periods...
A simple Bouguer gravity anomaly map of southwestern Saudi Arabia and an initial interpretation
M. E. Gettings
1983, Open-File Report 83-789
Approximately 2,200 gravity stations on a 10-km2 grid were used to construct a simple Bouguer gravity anomaly map at 1:2,000,000 scale along a 150-km-wide by 850-km-long strip of the Arabian Peninsula from Sanam, southwest of Ar Riyad, through the Farasan Islands and including offshore islands, the coastal plain, and the...

Mineral resource potential map of the Mount Eddy and Castle Crags Roadless Areas, Shasta, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties, California

1983, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1529-B
Although ultramafic terranes such as that underlying the Mount Eddy and Castle Crags Roadless Areas may contain chromite, nickel, platinum-group metals, cobalt, and asbestos, there are no significant identified concentrations of these resources within the roadless areas. Platinum-group metals were sought but not detected in stream-sediment concentrates, although this does...

Selected physical properties of rocks from the Baid al Jimalah West tungsten deposit, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and recommendations for geophysical surveys
M. E. Gettings
1983, Open-File Report 83-449
Bulk density and magnetic susceptibility of 11 outcrop samples representing the Proterozoic lithologic units at the Baid al Jimalah West tungsten deposit, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were measured. Induced polarization response, apparent resistivity, and electromagnetic conductivity were determined for four specimens of the sample suite. Measurements show that there is...
Floods in Kansas City, Missouri and vicinity, August 12-13, 1982
L.D. Becker, T.W. Alexander, L.A. Waite
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4141
On August 12-13, 1982, a nearly stationary weather front in the vicinity of Kansas City, MO, produced intense thunderstorms. Excessive rainfall (12.6 inches in Raytown, MO) caused flash flooding during the nighttime and early daylight hours. Four deaths and damages unofficially estimated in excess of $30 million, occurred in the...
Water resources data, Arizona, water year 1981
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1983, Water Data Report AZ-81-1
Water resources data for the 1981 water year for Arizona consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; measurements of ground-water levels; and quality of water from selected wells. Also included are discharge data for crest-stage partial-record stations...

Front-tracking model for convective transport in flowing ground water
S. P. Garabedian, Leonard F. Konikow
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4034
A finite-difference numerical model that simulates the convective transport of water or tracer particles through porous media is described. It can be applied to one- or two-dimensional problems involving either steady-state or transient flow. The model tracks representative water or tracer particles, initially located along specified lines, as they move...
Underwater gravity meter survey of San Francisco and San Pablo bays, California, 1982

1983, Open-File Report 83-906
Seafloor gravity measurements were made at 281 bottom stations in San Francisco and San Pablo Bays, California, on a series of lines oriented approximately NNE.. Line spacing was approximately 2.8 km and stations along the lines mere spaced 0.5 to 1.5 km apart, between 0.5 and 1.5 km perpendicular to...

Shallow structure and stratigraphy of the carbonate West Florida continental slope and their implications to sedimentation and geohazards
Larry J. Doyle
1983, Open-File Report 83-425
An 1800-joule sparker survey of the West Florida continental slope between about 26?N and 29?15?N showed a top bed of Pleistocene age forming an irregular drape over a surface that is probably Pliocene. The contact between the top two layers is unconformable in the south and, in some places, shows...
