Bibliography on ground water in glacial-aquifer systems in the Northeastern United States
Denise A. Wiltshire, Forest P. Lyford, A.J. Cohen
1986, Circular 972
The U.S. Geological Survey established the Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) program to evaluate major interconnected aquifers or groups of aquifers that share similar characteristics within a region. One of the objectives of the Northeastern Glacial RASA is to provide information on the occurrence and quality of ground water in glacial...
Archaeology and public perception of a trans-scientific problem; disposal of toxic wastes in the unsaturated zone
Isaac Judah Winograd
1986, Circular 990
Predicting the effects of toxic-waste disposal on the environment over periods of millenia to hundreds of millenia is a transscientific problem; that is, one not fully addressed by quantitative scientific and engineering endeavors. Archaeology is a pertinent adjunct to such predictions in several ways. First, and foremost, archaeological records demonstrate...
Simulation of flood hydrographs for Georgia streams
Ernest J. Inman
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4004
Flood hydrographs are needed for the design of many highway drainage structures and embankments. A method for simulating these flood hydrographs at ungaged sites in Georgia is presented in this report.The O'Donnell method was used to compute unit hydrographs and lagtimes for 355 floods at 80 gaging stations. An average...
The Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program; background information to accompany folio of geologic, geochemical, geophysical, remote sensing, and mineral resource maps of the Wallace 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Montana and Idaho
Jack Edward Harrison, David L. Leach, M. Dean Kleinkopf, Carl L. Long, Larry C. Rowan, Richard F. Marvin
1986, Circular 920
The Wallace 1? x 2 quadrangle in Montana and Idaho was studied by an interdisciplinary research team that included geologists, geochemists, and geophysicists, as well as specialists in isotopic dating and remote sensing. The basic data resulting from these studies, as well as the final metallic mineral resource assessments,...

Benthic invertebrate population characteristics as affected by water quality in coal-bearing regions of Tennessee
A.D. Bradfield
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4227
Benthic invertebrate and water quality data collected during previous U.S. Geological Survey studies to provide background hydrologic information on streams draining Tennessee coal reserves, were evaluated to identify possible relations between stream biota and water quality. Linear regressions produced low correlation coefficients relating the number of taxa/sample, total number of...
General surface- and ground-water quality in a coal-resource area near Durango, southwestern Colorado
D. L. Butler
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4073
A general description of surface and groundwater quality in a coal-resource area near Durango, southwestern Colorado is given. Dissolved-solids concentrations were less than 1,000 mg/l in streams, except in the Alkali Gulch, Basin Creek, and Carbon Junction Canyon drainage basins. Median concentrations of dissolved boron, iron, manganese, and zinc were...
Comparison of flume and towing methods for verifying the calibration of a suspended-sediment sampler
J.P. Beverage, J.C. Futrell
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4193
Suspended-sediment samplers must sample isokinetically (at stream velocity) in order to collect representative water samples of rivers. Each sampler solo by the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project or by the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Instrumentation Facility has been adjusted to sample isokinetically and tested in a flume to verify the calibration....
