Injection of treated wastewater for ground-water recharge in the Palo Alto Baylands, California, hydraulic and chemical interactions — Preliminary report
S. N. Hamlin
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4121
An injection-extraction well network in the Palo Alto Baylands along the San Francisco Bay, California, was designed to flush the shallow aquifer system of saline water and prevent further inland saline contamination. Clogging processes and solution migration in the vicinity of one injection well were studied. Cyclic evaporative concentration of...

K. W. Toppin
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4116
Six hydroelectric power dams are planned along a 22-mile reach of the lower Black River in southeastern Windsor County, Vermont. Data were collected at 10 stations, during water years 1977-81, to appraise quality conditions before construction. Average specific conductance of Black River is 101 micromhos indicating low concentrations of dissolved...
Flood characteristics of urban watersheds in the United States

Hydrogeology and simulation of water flow in the Kootenai aquifer of the Judith basin, central Montana
Julianne F. Levings
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4146
Five Jurassic and Cretaceous formations in the Judith basin of central Montana were investigated with a three-dimensional model to improve the understanding of water flow in the Kootenai aquifer. To accomplish this objective, of water flow in the aquifers and two intervening confining layers was constructed from existing data. A...
The Southern Hills regional aquifer system of southeastern Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi
A. Buono
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4189
The Southern Hills regional aquifer system, named in a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency for designation as a sole or principal source of drinking water, is the primary source of public and domestic supplies in the northern 10 parishes of southeastern Louisiana. The gulfward dipping and thickening, complexly interbedded...
Computer routines for probability distributions, random numbers, and related functions
W. Kirby
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4257
Use of previously coded and tested subroutines simplifies and speeds up program development and testing. This report presents routines that can be used to calculate various probability distributions and other functions of importance in statistical hydrology. The routines are designed as general-purpose Fortran subroutines and functions to be called from...
A two-dimensional graphing program for the Tektronix 4050-series graphics computers
K.L. Kipp
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4087
A refined, two-dimensional graph-plotting program was developed for use on Tektronix 4050-series graphics computers. Important features of this program include: any combination of logarithmic and linear axes, optional automatic scaling and numbering of the axes, multiple-curve plots, character or drawn symbol-point plotting, optional cartridge-tape data input and plot-format storage, optional...

Mitigation of hazards from future lahars from Mount Merapi in the Krasak River channel near Yogyakarta, central Java
John R. Ege, Sutikno
1983, Open-File Report 83-596
Procedures for reducing hazards from future lahars and debris flows in the Krasak River channel near Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, include (1) determining the history of the location, size, and effects of previous lahars and debris flows, and (2) decreasing flow velocities. The first may be accomplished by geologic field...
