Since 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has estimated water use in the United States at 5-year intervals. Resulting reports tabulate water use by State and by water-resources region (major river basins) for a number of categories, such as irrigation, water supply, and industrial. In 1977, the USGS began the...

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...

1990, Open-File Report 90-150
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been active in West Virginia since the early 1900's. During recent years, the District completed several investigations as well as initiated others. An intense effort has been made to publish interpretive reports and data on a near-current basis. As a result of this effort,...
Effects of surface coal mining and reclamation on the geohydrology of six small watersheds in West-Central Indiana
Jeffrey D. Martin, Richard F. Duwelius, Charles G. Crawford
1990, Water Supply Paper 2368-B
Six small watersheds in west-central Indiana were selected for study of the hydrologic effects of surface coal mining and reclamation. The watersheds include mined and reclaimed, mined and unreclaimed, and unmined agricultural land uses and are each less than 3 square miles in area. Surface-water, ground-water, and meteorologic data for...
