Water use on the Snake River plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
S. A. Goodell
1988, Professional Paper 1408-E
Amounts of water withdrawn and consumptively used for irrigation and other uses on the Snake River Plain were estimated to help deter- mine hydrologic effects of ground- and surface-water use. Irrigation is the largest off stream use of water on the plain. Surface-water irriga- tion began in the 1840's and...
Methods to determine transit losses for return flows of transmountain water in Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Arkansas River, Colorado
Gerhard Kuhn
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4119
Methods were developed by which transit losses could be determined for transmountain return flows in Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs, Colorado, and its confluence with the Arkansas River. The study reach is a complex hydrologic system wherein a substantially variable streamflow interacts with an alluvial aquifer. The study approach included:...

Cost-effectiveness of the streamflow-gaging program in Wyoming
S. A. Druse, K.L. Wahl
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4264
This report documents the results of a cost-effectiveness study of the streamflow-gaging program in Wyoming. Regression analysis or hydrologic flow-routing techniques were considered for 24 combinations of stations from a 139-station network operated in 1984 to investigate suitability of techniques for simulating streamflow records. Only one station was determined to...

D.O. Rosenberry, A.M. Sturrock, T. C. Winter
1988, Open-File Report 88-304
Research on the hydrology of Williams Lake, north-central Minnesota includes study of evaporation. Presented here are those climatic data needed for energy-budget and mass-transfer studies, including: water-surface temperature, dry-bulb and wet-bulb air temperatures, wind speed, precipitation, and solar and atmospheric radiation. Some calculated values necessary for these studies, such as...
Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Minnesota
J.E. Jacques, D. L. Lorenz
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4170
Log-Pearson type III flood-frequency analyses were made of annual series peak-flow records from 246 gaging stations on unregulated streams in Minnesota having watersheds ranging in area from 0.08 to 2,520 square miles. These flood discharges were related to watershed and climatic characteristics by using multiple-regression techniques. On the basis of...

Character and evolution of the ground-water flow system in the central part of the western San Joaquin Valley, California
Kenneth Belitz
1988, Open-File Report 87-573
The occurrence of selenium in agricultural drain water derived from the western San Joaquin Valley, California, has focused concern on the ground-water flow system of the western valley. In this investigation, previous work and recently collected texture and water-level data are used to evaluate the character and evolution of the...
Hydrologic data collection activities in the Solomon Gulch basin near Valdez, Alaska
B. B. Bigelow
1988, Open-File Report 88-719
In 1981, the Alaska Power Authority completed construction of a dam spillway at the north end of Solomon Lake near Valdez. Regulation and diversion from the dam since 1982 have significantly altered the natural flow characteristics of Solomon Gulch. In September 1986, the Geological Survey began data collection to determine...
Preliminary evaluation of the hydrogeologic system in Owens Valley, California
W.R. Danskin
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4003
A preliminary, two-layer, steady-state, groundwater flow model was used to evaluate present data and hydrologic concepts of Owens Valley, California. Simulations of the groundwater system indicate that areas where water levels are most affected by changes in recharge and discharge are near toes of alluvial fans and along the edge...
Tritium migration from a low-level radioactive-waste disposal site near Chicago, Illinois
J.R. Nicholas, R. W. Healy
1988, Water Supply Paper 2333
This paper describes the results of a study to determine the geologic and hydrologic factors that control migration of tritium from a closed, low-level radioactive-waste disposal site. The disposal site, which operated from 1943 to mid1949, contains waste generated by research activities at the world's first nuclear reactors. Tritium has...
A strategy for collecting ground-water data and developing a ground-water model of the Missouri River alluvial aquifer, Woodbury and Monona Counties, Iowa
Robert C. Buchmiller
1988, Open-File Report 87-452
A ground-water-flow model and plan for obtaining supporting data are proposed for a part of the Missouri River alluvial aquifer in Woodbury and Monona Counties, Iowa. The proposed model and the use of the principle of superposition will aid in the interpretation of the relation between ground water and surface...
Hydrology of the lower Little Red River, Arkansas, and a procedure for estimating available streamflow
G.D. Grosz, J. E. Terry, A.P. Hall
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4008
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Arkansas Soil and Water Conservation Commission, conducted a hydrologic investigation of the lower Little Red River from near Searcy, Arkansas (mi 31.7), to the river 's mouth at its confluence with the White River. During 1983 and 1984, data were collected on...
