Hydrologic characteristics of soils in parts of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas
Jack T. Dugan
1986, Hydrologic Atlas 678
Certain physical characteristics of soils, including permeability, available water capacity, thickness, and topographic position, have a definite effect on the hydrology of an area. They control the rate at which precipitation infiltrates or is transmitted through the soil, and thus they have a significant role in determining the rates both...
Cost effectiveness of the US Geological Survey's stream-gaging programs in New Hampshire and Vermont
J.A. Smath, F.E. Blackey
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4173
Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 73 continuous stream gages currently (1984) being operated. Eight stream gages were identified as having insufficient reason to continue their operation. Parts of New Hampshire and Vermont were identified as needing additional hydrologic data. New gages should be established in these...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Unalakleet River basin, Alaska, 1982-83
C. E. Sloan, D.R. Kernodle, Ronald Huntsinger
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4089
The Unalakleet River, Alaska, from its headwaters to the confluence of the Chiroskey River has been designated as a wild river and is included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Yearly low flow, which occurs during the winter, is sustained by groundwater discharge; there are few lakes in...
Hydrology and water quality of the Edwards Aquifer associated with Barton Springs in the Austin area, Texas
Raymond M. Slade Jr., Michael E. Dorsey, Sheree L. Stewart
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4036
Urban development over the Edwards aquifer in the Austin, Texas, area has caused concerns about the availability and quality of water in the aquifer. The study area, the Edwards aquifer that discharges to Barton Springs, includes parts of Travis and Hays Counties and extends from the city of Kyle to...
Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Montana, October 1985 through September 1986
Robert S. Roberts
1986, Open-File Report 86-421-W
Water resources programs and activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Montana consist principally of hydrologic data collection (6 projects); local areal, or statewide hydrologic investigation (12 projects); and research (1 project). The work is supported by direct Federal funding, by transfer of funds from other federal agencies, and by...
U.S. Geological Survey research in radioactive waste disposal - Fiscal years 1983, 1984, and 1985
G.A. Dinwiddie, N.J. Trask
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4009
The report summarizes progress on geologic and hydrologic research related to the disposal of radioactive wastes. The research is described according to whether it is related most directly to: (1) high-level and transuranic wastes, (2) low-level wastes, or (3) uranium mill tailings. Included is research applicable to the identification and...
Description of sediment data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in small watersheds in coal-mining areas of the eastern United States, 1980-84
L. D. Arihood
1986, Open-File Report 86-309
Hydrologic data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 20 small watersheds in the surface-mining areas of the eastern United States from 1980 through 1984 as part of the Survey1 s coal-hydrology program. Each data set includes sediment-concentration, streamflow, and precipitation data collected at 5- or 15-minute intervals. One...
Hydrology of the Price River basin, Utah, with emphasis on selected coal-field areas
K.M. Waddell, J.E. Dodge, D.W. Darby, S.M. Theobald
1986, Water Supply Paper 2246
Data obtained during a hydrologic study of the Price River basin, Utah, are used to describe seasonal variations off low of springs, relation between ground water and surface water, hydraulic properties of the ground-water reservoir, ground-water recharge and discharge, flood characteristics of streams, mineralogic composition and depositional rates of sediments,...
Three-dimensional steady-state simulation of flow in the sand-and-gravel aquifer, southern Escambia County, Florida
Henry Trapp, L.H. Geiger
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4278
The sand-and-gravel aquifer is the only freshwater aquifer in southern Escambia County, Florida and is the source of public water supply for the area, including the City of Pensacola. The aquifer was simulated by a two-layer, digital model to provide hydrologic information for water resource planning. The lower layer represents...
Hydraulic properties of rock units and chemical quality of water for INEL-1 — A 10,365-foot deep test hole drilled at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho
L. J. Mann
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4020
A 10,365-ft deep test hole drilled at the INEL (Idaho National Engineering Laboratory) in southeastern Idaho provided hydraulic information for rock units underlying the Snake River Plain aquifer. Four aquifer tests showed that the hydraulic conductivity decreased with depth--from an average of 0.03 ft/day for the interval from 1,511 to...
Methods for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Montana based on data through 1983
R. J. Omang, Charles Parrett, J. A. Hull
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4027
Equations are presented for estimating flood magnitudes for ungaged sites in Montana based on data through 1983. The State was divided into eight regions based on hydrologic conditions, and separate multiple-regression equations were developed for each region. These equations relate annual flood magnitudes and frequencies to basin characteristics and are...
Manual for estimating selected streamflow characteristics of natural-flow streams in the Colorado River basin in Utah
R.C. Christensen, E.B. Johnson, G.G. Plantz
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4297
Methods are presented for estimating 10 streamflow characteristics at three types of sites on natural flow streams in the Colorado River Basin in Utah. The streamflow characteristics include average discharge and annual maximum 1-, 7-, and 15-day mean discharges for recurrence intervals of 10, 50 and 100 years. At or...
Magnitude and frequency of high flows of unregulated streams in Kansas
Paul Robert Jordan
1986, Water Supply Paper 2280
Information on high-flow magnitude and frequency is needed for hydrologic evaluation of such factors as flood-control storage and dam safety. High-flow information given in this report is for streamflows unaffected by major regulation, such as by large reservoirs. High-flow magnitude and frequency data are given for 91 streamflow-gaging stations throughout...

M. L. Tuttle, R. C. Severson, W.E. Dean, R.W. Klusman
1986, Professional Paper 1134-E
Geochemical baselines for native soils and biogeochemical baselines for plants in the Piceance basin provide data that can be used to assess geochemical and biogeochemical effects of oil-shale development, monitor changes in the geochemical and biogeochemical environment during development, and assess the degree of success of rehabilitation of native materials...
