Applicability of ambient toxicity testing to national or regional water-quality assessment
John F. Elder
1990, Circular 1049
Comprehensive assessment of the quality of natural waters requires a multifaceted approach. Descriptions of existing conditions may be achieved by various kinds of chemical and hydrologic analyses, whereas information about the effects of such conditions on living organisms depends on biological monitoring. Toxicity testing is one type of biological monitoring...

Importance of return flow as a component of water use
L. C. Trotta, M.S. Horn
1990, Open-File Report 90-197
Understanding the relation between the hydrologjc cycle and water use is important for effective water-resources management. The hydrologic cycle is the natural pathway of water from evaporation to precipitation to infiltration or runoff and to storage from which evaporation can again occur. The science of water use is the study...

A point-infiltration model for estimating runoff from rainfall on small basins in semiarid areas of Wyoming
James G. Rankl
1990, Water Supply Paper 2366
A physically based point-infiltration model was developed for computing infiltration of rainfall into soils and the resulting runoff from small basins in Wyoming. The user describes a 'design storm' in terms of average rainfall intensity and storm duration. Information required to compute runoff for the design storm by using the...
