Evaluation of water-quality characteristics of part of the Spokane Aquifer, Washington and Idaho, using a solute-transport digital model
J. J. Vaccaro, E.L. Bolke
1983, Open-File Report 82-769
The principal dissolved constituents in water in the Spokane aquifer are calcium and bicarbonate. These constituents (as well as dissolved solids, hardness, and magnesium) each correlate well with specific conductance, whereas chloride, sodium, and nitrate each do not. Specific conductance ranges from 73 to 820 micromhos per centimeter throughout the...

William Aubrey Cobban, E.A. Merewether
1983, Professional Paper 1253
PART A: Molluscan fossils are locally abundant at outcrops of Upper Cretaceous rocks in eastern North and South Dakota, northeastern Nebraska, northwestern Iowa, and western and northern Minnesota. Other Cretaceous mollusks have been found in the glacial deposits in Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. The oldest well dated marine mollusks are...
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...

Hydrologic evaluation of proposed ground-water withdrawals in Muleshoe Flat near Wheatland, southeastern Wyoming
D.T. Hoxie
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4150
The hydrologic effects of proposed irrigation with groundwater of 8,320 acres of land in Muleshoe Flat, a 34 sq mi area in west-central Platte County, Wyoming, were assessed. Results generated by a digital groundwater flow model indicate that, at the end of a 40-yr period, groundwater level declines of more...
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...
Streamflow losses and changes in ground-water levels along the Salt and Gila Rivers near Phoenix, Arizona — February 1978 to June 1980
L. J. Mann, P. B. Rohne
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4043
From March 1978 to June 1980, high runoff from the Salt and Verde drainage basins combined with large carryover storage in a reservoir system led to the release of about 8.26 million acre-feet of water. About 2.89 million acre-feet of the water was diverted above Granite Reef Dam, and about...

Municipal solid-waste disposal and ground-water quality in a coastal environment, west-central Florida
Mario Fernandez Jr.
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4072
Solid waste is defined along with various methods of disposal and the hydrogeologic factors to be considered when locating land-fills is presented. Types of solid waste, composition, and sources are identified. Generation of municipal solid waste in Florida has been estimated at 4.5 pounds per day per person or about...
Selected flow characteristics of Florida streams and canals
D.W. Foose
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4107
Data and statistics on low-flow frequency for 254 stream-gaging stations on Florida streams and canals are presented. The selected stations have 10 or more years of continuous record. A site description, a 10-year hydrograph, and a table of flow duration are presented for each station. A computed monthly 7-day, 10-year...
Uncertainties in records of annual mean discharge in Maine
R. A. Fontaine
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4025
This report documents the results of rating analyses of flow during periods of ice-cover at 33 stations on selected rivers in Maine. Results were obtained through linear multiple regression. It also presents functions relating uncertainties in records to the number of discharge measurements made at these and 21 other stations....
Geophysical and geologic studies in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity, North Carolina and South Carolina
Frederick A. Wilson
1983, Open-File Report 83-93
Geophysical methods consisting of gravity, aeromagnetics and aeroradioactivity have been applied to part of the Charlotte and Carolina slate belts in southern Mecklenburg County and vicinity to help interpret geology, lithology and structure. High aeroradioactivity is associated with potassium-rich granitic plutons, muscovite-rich gneisses, schists, and metavolcanic rocks; positive gravity and...
Backwater and discharge at highway crossings with multiple bridges in Louisiana and Mississippi
B.E. Colson, V.R. Schneider
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4065
Data were collected for nine floods in Mississippi and Louisiana at eight stream crossings having two to six separate bridge openings. Discharge through each bridge, water surface profiles, valley cross sections, and bridge geometry were measured. The multiple openings were divided into equivalent single-opening cases by apportioning interior embankments in...

Automatic dilution gaging of rapidly varying flow
M.D. Duerk
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4088
It is often difficult to obtain discharge ratings at urban gaging stations. This report presents the results of using an automated constant-rate dyedilution technique to measure discharge at two sites in Madison, Wisconsin. The sites selected have well-defined stage-discharge ratings, developed during previous hydrologic studies. One site has a 60-inch...
