National water-information clearinghouse activities; ground-water perspective
C.A. Haupt, R.A. Jensen
1988, Open-File Report 88-114
The US Geological Survey (USGS) has functioned for many years as an informal clearinghouse for water resources information, enabling users to access groundwater information effectively. Water resources clearinghouse activities of the USGS are conducted through several separate computerized water information programs that are involved in the collection, storage, retrieval, and...
Ground-water flow near two radioactive-waste-disposal areas at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, Cattaraugus County, New York: Results of flow simulation
M. P. Bergeron, E. F. Bugliosi
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4351
Two adjacent burial areas were excavated in a clay-rich till at a radioactive waste disposal site near West Valley in Cattaraugus County, N.Y.: (1) which contains mainly low-level radioactive wastes generated onsite by a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, has been in operation since 1966; and (2) which contains commercial low-level...
A water-resources appraisal of the Mount Shasta area in northern California, 1985
J. C. Blodgett, K.R. Poeschel, J.L. Thornton
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...
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...
Flood of May 26-27, 1984 in Tulsa, Oklahoma
DeRoy L. Bergman, Robert L. Tortorelli
1988, Hydrologic Atlas 707
The greatest flood disaster in the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma occurred during 8 hours from 2030 hours May 26 to 0430 hours May 27, 1984, as a result of intense rainfall centered over the metropolitan area. Storms of the magnitude that caused this flood are not uncommon to the southern...
Selenium accumulation in benthic bivalves and fine sediments of San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and selected tributaries
Carolyn Johns, Samuel N. Luoma, Virginia Elrod
1988, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (27) 381-396
Spatial distributions of selenium were determined in fine-grained, oxidized, surface sediments and in two benthic bivalves (Corbicula sp., a suspension-feeding freshwater clam, and Macoma balthica, a deposit-feeding brackish-water clam) within San Francisco Bay, the San Joaquin River and three river systems unlikely to be subject to selenium inputs. Biologically available selenium enters...

P.C. Bennett, M.E. Melcer, D. I. Siegel, J.P. Hassett
1988, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (52) 1521-1530
The dissolution of quartz in dilute aqueous solutions of organic acids at 25° and standard pressure was investigated by the batch dissolution method. The bulk dissolution rate of quartz in 20 mmole/Kg citrate solutions at pH 7 was 8 to 10 times faster than that in pure water. After 1750...
