Water-quality assessment of the American River, California
M.V. Shulters
1982, Open-File Report 82-763
Based on an analysis of water-quality data from more than 168 sites, the American River was found to be of overall good quality and suitable for all beneficial uses specified by the State of California, even though its natural condition has been altered by man 's activities in the basin....
Water-quality assessment of the Merced River, California
Stephen K. Sorenson
1982, Open-File Report 82-450
The Merced River and its major tributaries have been subject of water-quality and water-quantity studies by local, State, and Federal agencies since before 1900. Data have been compiled and analyzed, and even though water-quality problems exist in the basin, the water generally is of good quality for most of the...

Geologic and well-construction data for the H-9 borehole complex near the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site, southeastern New Mexico
S.L. Drellack, J.G. Wells
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4111
The H-9 complex, a group of three closely spaced boreholes, is located 5.5 miles south of the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site in east-central Eddy County, New Mexico. The holes were drilled during July, August, and September 1979 to obtain geologic and hydrologic data to better define the...
Method for relating suspended-chemical concentrations to suspended-sediment particle-size classes in storm-water runoff
Joseph F. Rinella, Stuart W. McKenzie
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-39
A method has been developed to relate suspended-chemical concentrations (associated with suspended sediments) in storm-water runoff to suspended-sediment particle-size classes. These classes are based on settling velocities in quiescent native water. This method requires processing 20 liters of water having a suspended-sediment concentration greater than 500 milligrams per liter. However,...

Base flow of streams on Long Island, New York
Richard J. Reynolds
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-48
On Long Island, base flow under nonurbanized conditions constitutes 90 to 95% of total stream discharge. Base-flow data from 19 continuously gaged streams are presented as monthly mean and annual mean discharge for water years 1960-75, which includes the 1962-66 drought. The data were derived by hydrograph-separation procedures that isolate...

The High Plains aquifer in Oklahoma is part of a region~l aquifersystem extending from South Dakota on the north through Wyoming, Colorado,Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma to Texas and New Mexico o~ the south.(index map). The principal aquifer, the Ogallala F?rmat1on of :ert1aryage, is hydraulically connected with other unconsolidated ~eposits, .principally...
Distributed routing rainfall-runoff model; version II
W.M. Alley, P. E. Smith
1982, Open-File Report 82-344
A computer program of a watershed model for routing storm runoff through a branched system of pipes and (or) natural channels using rainfall as input is described. The model provides detailed simulation of storm-runoff periods selected by the user and a daily soil-moisture accounting between storms. A drainage basin is...
Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey in New Mexico, fiscal year 1980
R.R. White
1982, Open-File Report 82-267
This is the third in a series of annual reports in which the program of the New Mexico District, U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, is summarized. This report, which is for fiscal year 1980, may be of use to cooperating agencies and to the users of water data in...
Whole-rock chemical composition of some samples from two drill hole cores in the Capps coal field, Beluga coal area, south-central Alaska
T. K. Hinkley, K. S. Smith, J. L. Peard, M.L. Tompkins
1982, Open-File Report 82-672
Whole-rock chemical analysis was done on samples from drill cores of rocks lying atop and between coal beds in the Beluga coal area, south-central Alaska. The samples were classified as sandstone, siltstone or claystone at time of hand specimen description. Chemical data were compared to those from corresponding rocks from...
