Doug Cain, Duaina Baldridge, Patrick Edelmann
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-82
The waste-assimilation capacity of a 42-mile reach of the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colo., was evaluated using a one-dimensional steady-state water-quality model. The model was calibrated and verified using hydraulic and water-quality data collected in 1976 and 1979. The water-quality con-stituents modeled were 5-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand, total...

J. P. Akers
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-6
Adequate supplies of ground water for municipal use generally are not available within a 3-mile radius of Pescadero, San Mateo County, California. The required quantity of 100 gallons per minute probably could be obtained from one or more wells in the alluvium along Pescadero Creek; however, the quality of the...

Delineation of ground-water contributing areas of streams of southwest Suffolk County, New York
Dennis J. Sulam
1980, Open-File Report 80-346
The hydrologic system of southwest Suffolk County consists of two major components--a deep, southward-flowing ground-water system bounded on the north by Long Islands ' regional ground-water divide and on the south by the south-shore bays and ocean, and an overlying series of shallow ground-water flow systems that are separated from...
Analyses of water and dredged material from selected southern Louisiana waterways and selected areas in the Gulf of Mexico, 1976-78
Geraldine R. Stallworth, Helen F. Jordan
1980, Open-File Report 80-694
The U.S. Geological Survey was requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide water-quality data to evaluate the potential environmental effects of (1) dredging activities in selected navigable waterways of southern Louisiana and (2) the disposal of dredged material at selected areas in the Gulf of Mexico. Areas...
A comparison of analog and digital modeling techniques for simulating three-dimensional ground-water flow on Long Island, New York
Thomas E. Reilly, Arlen W. Harbaugh
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-14
A three-dimensional electric-analog model of the Long Island, NY , groundwater system constructed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 1970 's was used as the basis for developing a digital, three-dimensional finite-difference model. The digital model was needed to provide faster modifications and more rapid solutions to water-management...
Water quality of four lakes in Lakeville, Minnesota
L. H. Tornes, M.R. Have
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-66
Water-quality characteristics were determined for four selected lakes to provide background data for evaluating changes that may occur in the lakes because of urbanization. Precipitation of calcium carbonate is suggested by high pH values and a decrease in the calcium concentration when magnesium, sodium, and chloride concentrations increase. Pollution is...
