Procedures for assessment of cumulative impacts of coal mining on the hydrologic balance
Alan M. Lumb
1982, Open-File Report 82-334
Techniques were developed to assess the probable cumulative impacts of anticipated surface mining upon the hydrology of and area. An activity profile of cumulative drainage area versus river miles downstream from the surface mining site is constructed that shows major water uses, flood prone areas, and stream classifications. From the...
Geohydrology of principal aquifers in the Republican River basin, Kansas
L. E. Dunlap
1982, Open-File Report 82-79
Principal aquifers in the Republican River basin in Kansas are unconsolidated alluvial deposits. One such aquifer is formed by the Ogallala Formation of Miocene age which covers most of the western part of the area. Because saturated thickness of the aquifer decrease northeastward, maximum yields to irrigation wells decrease in...

Ground-water monitoring at Santa Barbara, California; Phase 2-effects of pumping on water levels and water quality in the Santa Barbara ground-water basins
Peter Martin
1982, Open-File Report 82-366
From July 1978 to January 1980, water levels declined more than 100 feet in the southern part of the Santa Barbara ground-water basin. The water-level declines are the result of increases in municipal pumping since July 1978. The increase in municipal pumping was part of a basin-testing program to determine...
Sulfur isotopic composition and water chemistry in water from the High Plains aquifer, Oklahoma Panhandle and southwestern Kansas
Noel C. Krothe, Joseph W. Oliver
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-12
The Ogallala Formation comprises the High Plains aquifer in Oklahoma and southwestern Kansas. Regional ground-water flow is from west to east in the Ogallala Formation, and the concentration of dissolved solids in ground water increases in the direction of flow. This increase may be influenced by residence time, but underlying...

High rates of bedload transport measured from infilling rate of large strudelscour craters in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska
Erk Reimnitz, E. W. Kempema
1982, Open-File Report 82-588
Strudel scours are craters as much as 20 m wide and 4 m deep, that are excavated by vertical drainage flow during the yearly spring flooding of vast reaches of fast ice surrounding arctic deltas; they form at a rate of about 2.5 km^-2 yr^-1. Monitoring two such craters in...

1982, Open-File Report 82-164
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Houston, began studies in the Houston metropolitan area in 1964. The program was expanded...
