Discharge measurements and sediment samples were taken at streamflow-gaging station 09260050 Yampa River at Deerlodge Park in 1982 and 1983 to determine the annual sediment supply to the Yampa Canyon in Dinosaur National Monument. Forty-three years of discharge records at two tributary sites were combined to determine the historic discharge...

J. C. Blodgett, R.N. Oltmann, K.R. Poeschel
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4058
Daily mean and monthly discharges were estimated for 10 sites on the Carson and Truckee Rivers for periods of incomplete records and for tributary sites affected by reservoir regulation. On the basis of the hydrologic characteristics, stream-flow data for a water year were grouped by month or season for subsequent...
Hydrology of a surface coal mined area in Randolph County, Illinois
J.V. Borghese, A. R. Klinger
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4256
Ground water was monitored from October 1980 to April 1983 and surface water was monitored from October 1980 to September 1982 in the 0.6-square-mile basin of Plum Creek Tributary in Randolph County, Illinois, to determine effects of surface mining for coal. During the study period, the basin was being surfaced...
Quantity and quality of streamflow in the White River basin, Colorado and Utah
J. M. Boyle, K.J. Covay, D. P. Bauer
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4022
The water quality and flow of existing streams in the White River basin, located in northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah, are adequate for present uses, but future development (such as energy) may affect stream quality and quantity. Present conditions are described as a baseline to enable planners to allocate available...
Streamflow augmentation at Fosters Brook, Long Island, New York — A hydraulic feasibility study
Keith R. Prince
1984, Water Supply Paper 2208
A 27-day streamflow augmentation test was conducted in December 1979 at Fosters Brook, near the south shore of Long Island, to investigate the hydraulic feasibility of pumping ground water to supply flow to an ephemeral stream during dry periods. Measurements of soil moisture in the unsaturated zone beneath the streambed...

Ground water in the Dickson area of the western Highland Rim of Tennessee
M. W. Bradley
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4088
A hydrologic study of the Dickson, Tennessee, area provided additional information on the occurrence of ground water in the Mississippian carbonate rocks of the western Highland Rim. Twenty-six test wells were drilled to determine the occurrence of ground water in relation to topographic position, regolith thickness, streamflow gains or losses,...
International strategic minerals inventory summary report; chromium

Impact of development on availability and quality of ground water in eastern Nassau County, Florida, and southeastern Camden County, Georgia
D.P. Brown
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4190
The primary sources of water in the area are from the surficial and Floridan aquifers. The surficial aquifer, consisting of thin permeable zones of sand, shell, and limestone, provides limited water supplies (10-50 gallons per minute). Its estimated transmissivity ranges from less than 100 to 10,000 feet squared per day....
