1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4239
Present Mount Shasta, California, area hydrologic characteristics were documented to compare future changes due to land use or volcanic activity. Lower flanks of Mount Shasta consist of broad aprons of pyroclastic-flow, debris flow, and fluvial deposits, with incised channels on upper parts of the mountain. Data include glacial areas and...
Hydrology of the Floral City Pool of Tsala Apopka Lake, west-central Florida
L. A. Bradner
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4024
Tsala Apopka Lake, in west-central Florida, has an area of about 19,000 acres and is divided into three water-management pools, with the Floral City Pool, the most upgradient. The Floral City Pool, which has a surface area of approximately 4,750 acres, contains an extensive combination of lakes, wetlands, and connecting...
Hydrogeology and preliminary assessment of regional flow in the upper Cretaceous and adjacent aquifers in the northern Mississippi embayment
J. V. Brahana, T. O. Mesko
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4000
On a regional scale, the groundwater system of the northern Mississippi embayment is composed of a series of nonindurated clastic sediments that overlie a thick sequence of Paleozoic carbonate, sandstones, and shales. The units that comprise the geohydrologic framework of this study are the alluvium-lower Wilcox Aquifer the Midway confining...
Surface-water hydrology of Hay Creek watershed, Montana, and West Branch Antelope Creek watershed, North Dakota
Douglas G. Emerson
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4038
Hydrologric data were used to determine the premining surface-water conditions in two small basins in the Fort Union coal region of Montana and North Dakota. The two streams. Hay Creek and West Branch Antelope Creek, are ephemeral. Most of the volume and peak discharges are due to snowmelt runoff. Little...
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...

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...
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:...
Factors affecting leaching in agricultural areas and an assessment of agricultural chemicals in the ground water of Kansas
C. A. Perry, F.V. Robbins, P.L. Barnes
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4104
As assessment of hydrologic factors and agricultural practices that may affect the leaching of agricultural chemicals to groundwater was conducted to evaluate the extent and severity of chemical contamination of groundwater resources in Kansas. The climate of a particular area determines the length of the growing season and the availability...
A seismic-stratigraphic investigation of the Madison and associated aquifers; application to ground-water exploration, Powder River basin, Montana-Wyoming
A. H. Balch, editor(s)
1988, Professional Paper 1330
This seismic-stratigraphic investigation is part of a larger 5-year project the "Madison Project" undertaken by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey to study the hydrology of the Madison and associated aquifers. The objectives and methods of investigation of the Madison Project are described by the U.S. Geological...
Map showing depth to bedrock, Anchorage, Alaska
R. L. Glass
1988, Open-File Report 88-198
Knowledge of the physical and hydrologic characteristics of geologic materials is useful in determining the availability of groundwater for public and domestic supply and the suitability of areas for on-site septic systems. A generalized map of the Anchorage area shows the approximate distance from land surface to the top of...
