Volume 2 of water resources data for the 1983 water year for other Pacific areas consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and springs; stage of a lake and a reservoir; and water levels and water quality in wells. This report contains discharge records for 37...
Development of a model to predict the adsorption of lead from solution on a natural streambed sediment
David Wayne Brown, John David Hem
1984, Water Supply Paper 2187
Adsorption of solutes by solid mineral surfaces commonly influences the dissolved ionic composition of natural waters. A model based on electrical double-layer theory has been developed which appears to be capable of characterizing the surface chemical behavior of a natural fine-grained sediment containing mostly quartz and feldspar. This variable surface...

National water summary 1983: Hydrologic events and issues
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1984, Water Supply Paper 2250
The United States as a Nation possesses abundant water resources and has developed and used those resources extensively. The national renewable supply of water is about 1,400 billion gallons per day (for the conterminous 48 States). Approximately 380 billion gallons per day of freshwater is withdrawn for use by the...

Preliminary assessment of climatic change during Late Wisconsin time, southern Great Basin and vicinity, Arizona, California, and Nevada
W. G. Spaulding, S.W. Robinson, Frederick L. Paillet
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4328
Nine plant macrofossil assemblages from the Eleana Range-2 packrat (Neotoma sp.) midden span 6,500 radiocarbon years and record local vegetational changes in the southern Great Basin of Nevada during the last one-half of the Late Wisconsin glacial age. Climatic reconstructions were developed to account for these changes. During the late...
Water-quality appraisal, Mammoth Creek and Hot Creek, Mono County, California
J. G. Setmire
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4060
A late summer reconnaissance in 1981 and a spring high-flow sampling in 1982 of Mammoth Creek and Hot Creek, located in the Mammoth crest area of the Sierra Nevada, indicated that mineralization, eutrophication, sedimentation, and limited areas of fecal contamination were occurring. Mineralization, indicated by a downstream increase in dissolved-solids...

Element concentrations in soils and other surficial materials of the conterminous United States
Hansford T. Shacklette, Josephine G. Boerngen
1984, Professional Paper 1270
Samples of soils or other regoliths, taken at a depth of approximately 20 cm form locations about 80 km apart, throughout the conterminous United States, were analyzed for their content of elements. In this manner, 1,318 sampling sites were chosen, and the results of the sample analyses for 50...

Restoration of freshwater in the Cano Tiburones area, Puerto Rico
Allen L. Zack, Angel Class-Cacho
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4071
Cano Tiburones on the north coast of Puerto Rico originally was a shallow, coastal lagoon, 9 square miles in area. It accumulated freshwater from adjacent rivers and springs and drained to the ocean through unobserved subterranean conduits. Forced drainage by pumping of Cano Tiburones for agriculture was begun in 1949,...

The concept of electron activity and its relation to redox potentials in aqueous geochemical systems
D.C. Thorstenson
1984, Open-File Report 84-72
The definition of a formal thermodynamic activity of electrons in redox reactions appears in the literature of the 1920's. The concept of pe as -log (electron activity) was introduced by Jorgensen in 1945 and popularized in the geochemical literature by Sillen, who considered pe and pH as master variables in...

Interpretation of core and well log physical property data from drill hole UPH-3, Stephenson County, Illinois
J.J. Daniels, G.R. Olhoeft, J. H. Scott
1984, Open-File Report 82-941
Laboratory and well log physical property measurements show variations in the mineralogy with depth in UPH-3. Gamma ray values generally decrease with depth in the drill hole, corresponding to a decrease in the felsic mineral components of the granite. Correspondingly, an increase with depth in mafic minerals in the granite...
