H.R. Hejl
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4260
Equations in this report can be used to estimate mean annual runoff and peak discharges for 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year recurrence intervals for ungaged streams in drainage basins containing strippable coal resources in northwestern New Mexico. These streamflow characteristics are related to basin characteristics that were found to...

Hydrogeology and effects of tailings basins on the hydrology of Sands Plain, Marquette County, Michigan
N.G. Grannemann
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4114
Sands Plain, a 225-square mile area, is near the Marquette iron-mining district in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Gribben Basin, a settling basin for disposal of waste rock particles from iron-ore concentration, is in the western part. Because Sands Plain is near iron-ore deposits, but not underlain by them, parts of the...

Magnitude and frequency of flood volumes for urban watersheds in Leon County, Florida
M.A. Franklin
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4233
Techniques are provided for estimating runoff magnitudes for urban-flow streams in Leon County, Florida, for recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 years. Synthetic runoff volumes were generated by using a calibrated lumped-parameter rainfall-runoff model, pan evaporation data from Milton, Florida, and long-term unit rainfall records...
Preliminary study of the aquifers of the lower Mesilla Valley in Texas and New Mexico by model simulation
J. S. Gates, D. E. White, E. R. Leggat
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4317
The aquifers in the lower Mesilla Valley of Texas and New Mexico provide water for irrigation, industrial use, and municipal supply. At present (1984), the shallow aquifer is used principally for irrigation. The medium-depth aquifer (the top of which is about 160 to 260 feet below land surface) and deep...
