1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4196
Water in Lake Arlington on Village Creek in north-central Texas had volume-weighted average concentrations of less than 240 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, less than 30 milligrams per liter of dissolved chloride, and less than 40 milligrams per liter of dissolved sulfate between January 29, 1973, and August 20,...
Hydrology and subsidence potential of proposed coal-lease tracts in Delta County, Colorado
Tom Brooks
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4069
Potential subsidence from underground coal mining and associated hydrologic impacts were investigated at two coal-lease tracts in Delta County, Colorado. Alteration of existing flow systems could affect water users in the surrounding area. The Mesaverde Formation transmits little ground water because of the neglibile transmissivity of the 1,300 feet of...
Evidence of floods on the Potomac River from anatomical abnormalities in the wood of flood-plain trees
Thomas M. Yanosky
1983, Professional Paper 1296
Ash trees along the Potomac River flood plain near Washington, D.C., were studied to determine changes in wood anatomy related to flood damage, and anomalous growth was compared to flood records for April 15 to August 31, 1930-79. Collectively, anatomical evidence was detected for 33 of the 34 growing-season floods...

The data shown on this map and listed in table 1 are for earthquakes that were originally included in a study of seismic risk in the United States (Algermissen, 1969). This data file has been recompiled and updated through 1980. Some revisions of epicenters and intensities in the original file...
A preliminary assessment of the hydrologic characteristics of the James River in South Dakota
R.D. Benson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4077
The James River in South Dakota has very restricted channel capacities within the Lake Dakota Plain. Channel capacities in Brown County are as little as 200 cubic feet per second, and spring flooding can be expected on an average of every other year. The river has potential for extended periods...

Floods in Kansas City, Missouri and vicinity, August 12-13, 1982
L.D. Becker, T.W. Alexander, L.A. Waite
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4141
On August 12-13, 1982, a nearly stationary weather front in the vicinity of Kansas City, MO, produced intense thunderstorms. Excessive rainfall (12.6 inches in Raytown, MO) caused flash flooding during the nighttime and early daylight hours. Four deaths and damages unofficially estimated in excess of $30 million, occurred in the...

Ground water in carbonate rocks and regolith in the Fairview area, Tennessee
C.R. Burchett, Ann Zurawski, A.K. Sparkes, E. F. Hollyday
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4134
Fourteen test wells drilled in the Fairview area, Tennessee, produce from 3 to 100 gallons per minute and have an average yield of 32 gallons per minute, measured while blowing water from the wells with compressed air. In comparison, the average yield of supply wells reported by drillers is 13...
Determination of dissolved aluminum in water samples
A.A. Afifi
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4018
A technique has been modified for determination of a wide range of concentrations of dissolved aluminum (Al) in water and has been tested. In this technique, aluminum is complexed with 8-hydroxyquinoline at pH 8.3 to minimize interferences, then extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). The extract is analyzed colorimetrically at...

1983, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1529-B
Although ultramafic terranes such as that underlying the Mount Eddy and Castle Crags Roadless Areas may contain chromite, nickel, platinum-group metals, cobalt, and asbestos, there are no significant identified concentrations of these resources within the roadless areas. Platinum-group metals were sought but not detected in stream-sediment concentrates, although this does...
