The SALT NORM : a quantitative chemical-mineralogical characterization of natural waters
Marc W. Bodine Jr., Blair F. Jones
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4086
The new computer program SNORM calculates the salt norm from the chemical composition of a natural water. The salt norm is the quantitative ideal equilibrium assemblage that would crystallize if the water evaporated to dryness at 25 C and 1 bar pressure under atmospheric partial pressure of CO2. SNORM proportions...

Effects of detention on water quality of two stormwater detention ponds receiving highway surface runoff in Jacksonville, Florida
P. S. Hampson
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4151
Water and sediment samples were analyzed for major chemical constituents, nutrients, and heavy metals following ten storm events at two stormwater detention ponds that receive highway surface runoff in the Jacksonville, Florida, metropolitan area. The purpose of the sampling program was to detect changes in constituent concentration with time of...
Water resources of Hughes County, South Dakota
L.J. Hamilton
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4195
Three major glacial-drift aquifers consisting of outwash sand and gravel underlie Hughes County, 784 sq mi of plains incised by the outwash-filled valley of the Missouri River in central South Dakota. Glacial-drift aquifers are recharged by more than 9,000 acre-feet of water annually and store about 1 million acre-feet of...
Evaluation of coal-mining impacts using numerical classification of benthic invertebrate data from streams draining a heavily mined basin in eastern Tennessee
A.D. Bradfield
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4289
Coal-mining impacts on Smoky Creek, eastern Tennessee were evaluated using water quality and benthic invertebrate data. Data from mined sites were also compared with water quality and invertebrate fauna found at Crabapple Branch, an undisturbed stream in a nearby basin. Although differences in water quality constituent concentrations and physical habitat...

Water resources of the Lower Rio Grande de Arecibo alluvial valley, Puerto Rico
Vicente Quinones-Aponte
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4160
An assessment of the surface and groundwater resources of the lower Rio Grande de Arecibo alluvial valley was made between 1981 and 1983. Rio Grande de Arecibo is the major source of water in the valley with a mean-annual discharge of 527 cu ft/sec (382,000 acre-ft/yr). Its lowest mean-daily flow...

Five intersite comparison studies for the field determination of pH and specific conductance, using simulated-precipitation samples, were conducted by the U.S.G.S. for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and National Trends Network. These comparisons were performed to estimate the precision of pH and specific conductance determinations made by sampling-site operators. Simulated-precipitation...

Delineating recharge areas for stratified-drift aquifers in Connecticut with geologic and topographic maps
E.H. Handman
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4230
Stratified-drift aquifers, the major source of large quantities of groundwater in Connecticut, are recharged principally by (1) precipitation that infiltrates the land surface overlying the aquifer and percolates downward to the saturated zone, (2) subsurface inflow of groundwater from adjacent till-and-bedrock uplands, and (3) surface water that infiltrates through streambed...
A description of the hydrologic system and the effects of coal mining on water quality in the East Fork Little Chariton River and the alluvial aquifer between Macon and Huntsville, north-central Missouri
D. C. Hall
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4160
The quality of surface and groundwater has been affected by abandoned strip mines and by abandoned underground mines in a 110-sq mi subbasin of the East Fork Little Chariton River. More than 14% of the area was strip mined for coal before 1979. The hydrologic system in the area was...
Climatic data for Mirror Lake, West Thornton, New Hampshire, 1984

Research on the hydrology of Mirror lake, (north-central) New Hampshire includes study of evaporation. Presented here are those climatic data needed for energy-budget and mass-transfer studies, including: temperature of lake water surface; dry-bulb and wet-bulb air temperatures; wind speed at 3 levels above the water surface; and solar and atmospheric...
