The study is part of a Rural Clean Water Program demonstration...
A hydrogeochemical survey in east-central Nevada
John B. McHugh, W. Roger Miller, Walter H. Ficklin
1983, Open-File Report 83-286
A hydrogeochemical survey utilizing waters from springs and wells was conducted in east-central Nevada. None of the trace elements commonly associated with mineralization were found to be highly anomalous in the study area. Slightly anomalous values for some elements were found in the southern valleys of the study area and...
Improvement of flood-frequency estimates for selected small watersheds in eastern Kansas using a rainfall-runoff model
R.W. Clement
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4110
The U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff model was used to estimate model parameters for 13 small watersheds in eastern Kansas with drainage areas of less than 11 square miles. Model parameters and rainfall data from three long-term rainfall stations were used in the model to synthesize long-term records of simulated annual...
Long-range plans for hydrologic investigations in New Mexico
H. L. Case III, G. E. Welder
1983, Open-File Report 83-696
Objectives of the hydrologic-data-collection projects presented in this report include continuing to identify future data needs; conducting an analysis of the water-quality, ground-water, and surface-water observation networks; and entering all available current and historical hydrologic data into the U.S. Geological Survey Water Data Storage and Retrieval System (WATSTORE). Objectives of...
Preliminary stage-discharge relations for Tombigbee River at Aliceville lock and dam, near Pickensville, Alabama
G. H. Nelson, C. O. Ming
1983, Open-File Report 83-752
The construction of Aliceville lock and dam and other related channel alterations, completed in 1979, has resulted in changes to the stage-discharge relations in the vicinity. The scarcity of current-meter measurements, coupled with backwater conditions, makes definition of a single stage-discharge relation impossible. However, limit curves can be defined that...
Shallow ground water in the Boulder-Fort Collins-Greeley area, Front Range urban corridor, Colorado, 1975-77
Paul A. Schneider Jr.
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4058
Shallow ground water may limit the location of construction and excavation projects in parts of the Front Range Urban Corridor. A shallow water table occurs from 0 to 50 feet below the land surface principally in the alluvial deposits along the streams and rivers in the Boulder-Fort Collins-Greeley area. This...

Availability and chemical quality of water from surficial aquifers in Southwest Minnesota
D. G. Adolphson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4030
The principal surficial aquifers in southwest Minnesota consist of outwash and alluvium material deposited in river valleys. The largest and most productive of these aquifers occupy the valleys of the Cottonwood, Des Moines, Redwood, and Rock Rivers and of tributaries to the Big Sioux River. Minor aquifers, adequate only for...
Specifications for updating USGS land use and land cover maps
Valerie A. Milazzo
1983, Open-File Report 83-116
To meet the increasing demands for up-to-date land use and land cover information, a primary goal of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) national land use and land cover mapping program is to provide for periodic updating of maps and data in a timely and uniform manner. The technical specifications for...
Filling of Spirit Lake, Washington, May 18, 1980 to July 31, 1982
