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...
Application of the aerial profiling of terrain system

1986, Open-File Report 86-2
Test well Ch-Bf 146 was drilled to 1,650 ft below land surface to explore and evaluate the Patapsco Formation aquifers deeper than 1,000 ft in the Waldorf/La Plata area of Charles County, Maryland. The test hole penetrated two major aquifer systems above a depth of 1,000 ft and another major...

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4061
Arkansas State Highway 328 in Randolph County crosses Current River about 1.5 mi northwest of Reyno, Arkansas. A main channel bridge with a relief bridge on each side, five culverts, and a bridge on the west side of the valley were the existing flow structures prior to a December 1982...

1986, Open-File Report 86-134
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...

Hydrogeologic factors in the selection of shallow land burial sites for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste
John N. Fischer
1986, Circular 973
In the United States, low-level radioactive waste is disposed of by shallow land burial. Commercial low-level radioactive waste has been buried at six sites, and low-level radioactive waste generated by the Federal Government has been buried at nine major and several minor sites. Several existing low-level radioactive waste sites have...
Influence of size-fractioning techniques on concentrations of selected trace metals in bottom materials from two streams in northeastern Ohio
G. F. Koltun, Dennis R. Helsel
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4114
Identical stream-bottom material samples, when fractioned to the same size by different techniques, may contain significantly different trace-metal concentrations. Precision of techniques also may differ, which could affect the ability to discriminate between size-fractioned bottom-material samples having different metal concentrations. Bottom-material samples fractioned to less than 0.020 millimeters by means...

Selected drill-stem test data for the Upper Colorado River basin
R.W. Teller, D. T. Chafin
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4146
Permeability data from aquifers and confining layers may be available from drill-stem tests made during the course of petroleum exploration. During the drill-stem test, the stratigraphic interval of interest is isolated in the hole by the use of packers attached to the drill string. Fluid flows into the drilling pipe...
Potentiometric surface of the intermediate aquifer system, west- central Florida, September 1986
B. R. Lewelling
1986, Open-File Report 87-35
A September 1986 potentiometric-surface map of the intermediate aquifer system in west-central Florida depicts water levels for the annual high water-level period. Hydrographs show seasonal and annual changes related to pumpage and recharge range from zero to 30 feet or more in some years. September 1986 water levels averaged about...

Traveltime and dispersion in the Shenandoah River and its tributaries, Waynesboro, Virginia, to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
K.R. Taylor, R.W. James, B.M. Helinsky
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4065
Two traveltime and dispersion measurements using rhodamin dye were conducted on a 178-mile reach of the Shenandoah River between Waynesboro, Virginia, and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The flows during the two measurements were at approximately the 85% and 45% flow durations. The two sets of data were used to develop...

Results of exploratory drilling for water in Waihanau Valley, Molokai, Hawaii
K. J. Takasaki
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4332
Three exploratory wells, located in lower Waihanau Valley on Molokai, were drilled and tested for their yields during the period May to October 1983. The first well, 582 ft deep, tapped the main water body in a basaltic aquifer intruded by scattered near-parallel volcanic dikes. Water in this water body...
Simulation analysis of water-level changes in the Navajo sandstone due to changes in the altitude of Lake Powell near Wahweap Bay, Utah and Arizona

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4207
A two-dimensional, finite difference, digital computer model was used to simulate various concepts of groundwater flow near Wahweap Bay, Lake Powell. The filling of Lake Powell started in March 1963; and by 1983 the lake had risen almost 550 ft. This resulted in a maximum observed water level rise of...
