Three-dimensional model simulation of steady-state ground-water flow in the Albuquerque-Belen Basin, New Mexico
J. M. Kernodle, W. B. Scott
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4353
As part of the Southwest Alluvial Basins study, model was constructed to simulate the alluvial aquifer system underlying the Albuquerque-Belen Basin. The model was used to simulate the steady-state flow condition assumed to have existed prior to 1960. Until this time there apparently were no long-term groundwater level changes of...

Methods are presented for estimating 10 streamflow characteristics at three types of sites on natural flow streams in the Colorado River Basin in Utah. The streamflow characteristics include average discharge and annual maximum 1-, 7-, and 15-day mean discharges for recurrence intervals of 10, 50 and 100 years. At or...

1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1807
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has collected marine gravity data along the U.S. Atlantic continental margin during the last decade. This map of the Long Island platform combines the data used to make the preliminary free-air gravity anomaly map of the Atlantic continental margin (Grow and others, 1976) with the...
Numerical simulation of advective-dispersive multisolute transport with sorption, ion exchange and equilibrium chemistry
F.M. Lewis, C.I. Voss, Jacob Rubin
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4022
A model was developed that can simulate the effect of certain chemical and sorption reactions simultaneously among solutes involved in advective-dispersive transport through porous media. The model is based on a methodology that utilizes physical-chemical relationships in the development of the basic solute mass-balance equations; however, the form of these...
Geochemical maps showing distribution and abundance of manganese in two fractions of stream-sediment concentrates, Silver City 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, New Mexico and Arizona
Kenneth C. Watts, Jerry R. Hassemer, Carl L. Forn, David F. Siems
1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1183-J
These maps (Maps A and B) show the distribution and abundance of maganese in the nonmagnetic and magnetic fractions of heavy-mineral concentrates from stream sediments collected in the Silver City 1o x 2o quadrangle, New Mexico and Arizona. Geochemical maps showing the distribution and abundance of 10 other selected key elements and the mineral...
Effects of organic wastes on water quality from processing of oil shale from the Green River Formation, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming
J.A. Leenheer, T.I. Noyes
1986, Professional Paper 1338
A series of investigations were conducted during a 6-year research project to determine the nature and effects of organic wastes from processing of Green River Formation oil shale on water quality. Fifty percent of the organic compounds in two retort wastewaters were identified as various aromatic amines, mono- and dicarboxylic...

Development of a water-use data system in Minnesota
M.A. Horn
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4306
The Minnesota State Legislature passed laws as early as 1937 to regulate use of Minnesota's ground water and surface water through a permit system. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to computerize water-use data reported to the State. The U.S. Geological Survey, through the National Water-Use Information Program, assisted the Minnesota...

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...
