Field data describing the movement and storage of sediment in the East Fork River, Wyoming: Part II, Bed elevations, 1979
Robert H. Meade, Robert M. Myrick, William W. Emmett
1980, Open-File Report 80-1190
At 39 cross sections in a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River Wyo., bed elevations were measured daily during a month-long period that included the peak snowmelt runoff. Elevations were measured at less frequent intervals for a week before and several weeks after peak runoff. Considerable scour and fill was...
Calibration of a distributed routing rainfall-runoff model at four urban sites near Miami, Florida
W. Harry Doyle Jr., Jeffrey E. Miller
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-1
Urban stormwater data from four Miami, Fla. catchments were collected and compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey and were used for testing the applicability of deterministic modeling for characterizing stormwater flows from small land-use areas. A description of model calibration and verification is presented for: (1) A 40.8 acre single-family...
Biogeochemical evidence for subsurface hydrocarbon occurrence, Recluse oil field, Wyoming: Preliminary results
Mary C. Dalziel, Terrence J. Donovan
1980, Circular 837
Anomalously high manganese-to-iron ratios occurring in pine needles and sage leaves over the Recluse oil field, Wyoming, suggest effects of petroleum microseepage on the plants. This conclusion is supported by iron and manganese concentrations in soils and carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in rock samples. Seeping hydrocarbons provided reducing conditions...
Thorium resources of selected regions in the United States
Mortimer Hay Staatz, R.B. Hall, D. L. Macke, T.J. Armbrustmacher, I. K. Brownfield
1980, Circular 824
Thorium resources have been assessed in a previous report entitled 'Principal thorium resources in the United States' (Staatz and others, 1979) for (1) veins in the larger districts, {2) massive carbonatites, {3) disseminated deposits, and {4) stream placers of North and South Carolina. This report is a sequel to that...
Hydrology of selected basins in the Warrior coal field, Alabama — A progress report
Celso Puente, John G. Newton, Thomas J. Hill
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-22
Hydrologic data are being collected in four basins in the Warrior coal field in Alabama to provide baseline information to aid in determining the effect mining will have on water resources. Basins monitored are in two different geologic and hydrologic environments. Two basins are underlain predominantly by relatively impermeable indurated...
Baseline water quality of Schmidt, Hornbeam, and Horseshoe Lakes, Dakota County, Minnesota
G. A. Payne
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-3
Three lakes in Dakota County were sampled five times during an 18-month period to determine baseline water quality prior to construction of an interstate highway. Results of physical measurements and chemical analyses showed that the lakes were shallow, nonstratified, and nutrient enriched. Considerable seasonal variations in dissolved solids, nutrient, and...
Limnology of Lago Loiza, Puerto Rico
Ferdinand Quinones-Marquez
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-97
The principal chemical, physical and biological characteristics of Lago Loize, P.R., and its main tributaries were studied from 1973-74. The lake supplies an average of 300,000 cubic meters per day of water to metropolitan San Juan. Flows from Rio Grande de Loize and Rio Gurabo contribute 84.0 percent of the...
Floods in the Raccoon River basin, Iowa
Albert J. Heinitz
1980, Open-File Report 80-162
Evaluation of flood hazards, and the planning, design, and operation of various facilities on flood plains requires information on floods. This report provides information on flood stages and discharges, flood magnitude and frequency, bench mark data, and flood profiles for the Raccoon River and some of its tributaries. It covers...
U.S. Geological Survey role in earthquake prediction
David P. Hill
1980, Open-File Report 80-144
Work in the Seismology Branch on the problem of earthquake prediction is based primarily on the recording and analysis of seismic (elastic) waves in the Earth generated either by earthquakes themselves or by artificial sources such as quarry blasts or explosions detonated in drill holes. At the present time this...
Water resources of the Makah Indian Reservation, Washington
N. P. Dion, Kenneth Lyle Walters, L. M. Nelson
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-15
The residents of the Makah Indian Reservation depend on the streams of the area for their fisheries and domestic water supply. The temporal distribution of streamflow in the study area is closely related to the amount and distribution of rainfall. In a year of average precipitation about three-quarters of the...
