Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Houston, Texas, Metropolitan Area
Fred Liscum, B.C. Massey
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-17
A technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area was developed by use of a multiple-regression flood-frequency analysis of flow data from unregulated streams in the area. A regression model, relating flood-peak discharge to concurrent rainfall and antecedent soil moisture conditions, was used...
Hydrologic analysis of the proposed Badger-Beaver Creeks artificial-recharge project: Morgan County, Colorado
Alan W. Burns
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-46
A hydrologic analysis of the proposed Badger-Beaver Creeks artificial-recharge project in Morgan County, Colo., was made with the aid of three digital computer models: A canal-distribution model, a ground-water flow model, and a stream-aquifer model. Statistical summaries of probable diversions from the South Platte River based on a 27-year period...
Simulation of water-quality data at selected stream sites in the Missouri River Basin, Montana
J. R. Knapton, M.A. Jacobson
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-76
Modification of sampling programs at some water-quality stations in the Missouri River basin in Montana has eliminated the means by which solute loads have been directly obtained in past years. To compensate for this loss, water-quality and streamflow data were statistically analyzed and solute loads were simulated using computer techniques.Functional...
Distribution of nitrate in the unsaturated zone, Highland-East Highlands area, San Bernardino County, California
John M. Klein, Wesley L. Bradford
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-48
Nitrogen in the unsaturated soil zone in the Highland-East Highlands area of San Bernardino County, Calif., has been suspected as the source of nitrate in water from wells. Plans to recharge the local aquifers with imported surface water would raise the water table and intercept that nitrogen. This study was...
Geology and ground water in north-central Santa Cruz County, California
Michael J. Johnson
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-26
North-central Santa Cruz County is underlain mainly by folded sedimentary rocks of Tertiary and Cretaceous age that have been highly fractured by movements in the San Andreas fault system. Ground water is stored in fractures within shale and mudstone formations and in intergranular pore spaces within fine- to very fine-grained...
Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the Ferron sandstone aquifer near Emery, Utah
Daniel J. Morrissey, Gregory C. Lines, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-62
A three-dimensional finite-difference computer model of the Ferron sand-stone aquifer was used to simulate ground-water flow in the Emery coal field in east-central Utah. The model also was used to predict the effects of pro-posed surface mining and the resulting mine dewatering on potentiometric sur-faces of the aquifer. The model...
Chemical and physical characteristics of precipitation at selected sites in Florida
G. A. Irwin, R.T. Kirkland
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-81
Infrequent sampling of precipitation in Florida has been conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey since 1965. A summary of the historical data from 24 sites throughout Florida indicate that the principal ionic composition of atmospheric precipitation samples is calcium-sodium and bicarbonate-chloride with an average specific conductance of 32 micromhos per...
Selected list of references to modern and ancient alluvial fan deposits
Tor Helge Nilsen, Thomas E. Moore
1980, Open-File Report 80-658
The following list of references on modern and ancient alluvial fan deposits has been compiled from an extensive review of the geologic literature. The information was collected as part of the process of preparing a summary paper on alluvial fan deposits for a memoir of the American Association of Petroleum...
Chemical analysis of 659 coal samples from the eastern United States
Peter Zubovic, Charles L. Oman, Linda J. Bragg, S.L. Coleman, N. H. Rega, M.E. Lemaster, H.J. Rose, D. W. Golightly, John Puskas
1980, Open-File Report 80-2003
This report includes the analytical data on 659 coal samples from 8 States east of the Mississippi River. The number of samples from each State are: Pennsylvania, 132; Ohio, 101; Maryland, 25; West Virginia, 254; Virginia, 33; Indiana, 49; Massachusetts, 5; and Rhode Island, 10. The analytic data are filed...
Drainage areas of surface water bodies of the Kennebec River basin in southwestern Maine
Richard A. Fontaine
1980, Open-File Report 78-556-E
The report contains drainage-area values for: lakes and ponds included in the MIDAS (Maine Informational Display Analysis System) File 906-Z, streams that drain an area greater than 25 square miles, dams, and locations where hydrologic data are collected. Supplemental information includes State and Federal location systems used to identify these...
Determining the availability of sediment-bound trace metals to aquatic deposit-feeding animals
Samuel N. Luoma, D.J. Cain, E.A. Thomson, C. Johansson, E. A. Jenne, G.W. Bryan
1980, Open-File Report 80-341
Physicochemical form affects, by as much as 1000 fold, the uptake rate by deposit-feeding clams of metals bound to sediments. The strength of metal binding to the different sedimentary binding substrates controls this effect. Statistical studies that were spatially intensive (comparing 35 stations in 17 estuaries) and temporally intensive (2...
Conflict resolution in railroad right-of-way disputes; Columbia, Missouri, and Douglas County, Nebraska
Katherine Fitzpatrick-Lins, J.A. McGlennon, G.F. Tiedt
1980, Open-File Report 80-874
The environmental mediation process has been used to avoid potential disputes and to resolve conflicts once an impasse has been reached. One successful case of dispute avoidance was in the conversion of an abandoned railroad right-of-way to a linear park in Columbia, Missouri. The potential disputes in this case were...
Cape Cod Aquifer, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Barbara J. Ryan
1980, Open-File Report 80-571
Ground water was the major source of drinking water on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1978. Withdrawals from over 100 municipal wells averaged 17.5 million gallons per day in 1978. Private wells on Cape Cod are estimated to number 15,000. Ground water occurs primarily under unconfined or water-table conditions. Artesian conditions...
Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1978
C.C. Kidwell
1980, Open-File Report 80-573
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing structures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service has found...

R.E. Lewis, H.W. Young
1980, Open-File Report 80-563
Thermal water (30.0 to 72.0 degrees Celsius) is produced from 26 wells and 2 springs in the vicinity of Banbury Hot Springs near Buhl, Idaho. Thermal water is used for space heating of private residences, catfish and tropical fish production, greenhouse operation, swimming pools, and therapeutic baths. In 1979, 10...
