Simulation of mine drainage for preliminary development of oil shale and associated minerals, Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado
O. James Taylor
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4011
The Piceance basin of northwestern Colorado contains large resources of oil shale, nahcolite, and dawsonite. Development of these minerals will require drainage of water from mines. A six-layer hydrologic model of the basin was prepared to simulate mine drainage for mineral development. Streams and major tributaries were simulated as head-dependent...

Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Unalakleet River basin, Alaska, 1982-83
C. E. Sloan, D.R. Kernodle, Ronald Huntsinger
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4089
The Unalakleet River, Alaska, from its headwaters to the confluence of the Chiroskey River has been designated as a wild river and is included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Yearly low flow, which occurs during the winter, is sustained by groundwater discharge; there are few lakes in...

An alternative basin characteristic for use in estimating impervious area in urban Missouri basins
R. E. Southard
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4362
A previous regression analysis of flood peaks on urban basins in St. Louis County, Missouri, indicated that the basin characteristics of percentage of impervious area and drainage area were statistically significant for estimating the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-. and 100-yr peak discharges at ungaged urban basins. In this statewide...

A water-resources data network evaluation for Monterey County, California; Phase 1; South county
P. K. Showalter, S.H. Hord
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4045
An evaluation made of rainfall, surface water, groundwater, and water quality monitoring networks in Salinas River basin in southern Monterey County, California, proposed all long-term rain gages be continued for extending short-term records and suggested the installation of two additional recording gages. Eight new storage rain gages were suggested at...
Hydrologic effects of withdrawal of ground water on the West Fargo aquifer system, eastern Cass County, North Dakota
C. A. Armstrong
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4279
The West Fargo area is underlain by glaciofluvial deposits, which comprise the West Fargo aquifer system* These deposits range in thickness from 5 to 227 feet. The West Fargo aquifer system extends from the vicinity of Argusville, Cass County, to at least as far south as Richland County. The aquifer...
Discharge and water quality of Horse Creek, southeastern Wyoming, May-November, 1985
J.F. Meyer, L.W. Lenfest Jr.
1986, Open-File Report 86-69
This report presents stream-discharge and water-quality data collected at five sites in the lower Horse Creek drainage of southeastern Wyoming, May through November, 1985. Data include stream-discharge measurements; field measurements of specific conductance, pH, and water temperature; and computer changes in stream discharge. Measured discharge in Horse Creek ranged from...
Gas-film coefficients for the volatilization of ketones from water
R. E. Rathbun, D. Y. Tai
1986, Water Supply Paper 2286
Volatilization is a significant process in determining the fate of many organic compounds in streams and rivers. Quantifying this process requires knowledge of the mass-transfer coefficient from water, which is a function of the gas-film and liquid-film coefficients. The gas-film coefficient can be determined by measuring the flux for the...

Magnitude and frequency of high flows of unregulated streams in Kansas
Paul Robert Jordan
1986, Water Supply Paper 2280
Information on high-flow magnitude and frequency is needed for hydrologic evaluation of such factors as flood-control storage and dam safety. High-flow information given in this report is for streamflows unaffected by major regulation, such as by large reservoirs. High-flow magnitude and frequency data are given for 91 streamflow-gaging stations throughout...
Method for estimating low-flow statistics for ungaged streams in the lower Hudson River Basin, New York
C.R. Barnes
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4070
Seven-day, 10-year and 7-day, 2-year low flow statistics were related to selected basin characteristics by multiple-regression analysis for 53 sites with watershed areas of less than 100 sq mi in the lower Hudson River basin. A common 20-year period of record was selected to ensure comparability of results. The most...
Temporal changes in sulfate, chloride, and sodium concentrations in four eastern Pennsylvania streams
J. L. Barker
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4074
Trend analyses of 20 years or more of chemical quality and streamflow data for four streams in eastern Pennsylvania indicate that sulfate has decreased significantly in three of the four basins studied, while sodium and chloride have generally increased. The majority of chemical quality changes occurred in the late 1950...
Prospects for mineral resource assessments on public lands: Proceedings of the Leesburg workshop
Simon M. Cargill, Steven B. Green, editor(s)
1986, Circular 980
Modern geological surveys pursue a wide spectrum of research activities in the earth sciences. From the beginning, however, one of the core tasks of any national geological survey has been the assessment and evaluation of its nation's mineral and fuel resources. The methods by which such assessments are carried out...

Lahontan Reservoir is a major recreational site in the Carson River basin in western Nevada. The reservoir is fed by the Carson River and by the Truckee Canal which transports water from the adjacent Truckee River. Water quality in both rivers is influenced by agriculture and urbanization. Specific conductance tended...
