Study and interpretation of the chemical characteristics of natural water
John David Hem
1985, Water Supply Paper 2254
The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from human activities. Broad interrelationships among these processes and...

The computer annual yield and deficiency of the subbasins as defined in the Arkansas River Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, are given in tables. Actual runoff from the subbasins and depletion caused by major reservoirs in the compact area are also given in tabular form. Monthly, maximum, minimum, and mean discharges are shown...
Hydrologic data in small watersheds, coal-mining region, west-central Indiana, October 1980 to June 1983, and instrumentation and methods of collecting the data
D.E. Renn, R.F. Duwelius, C.R. Keeton, J.W. Tyler Jr.
1985, Open-File Report 85-402
Hydrologic data were collected in seven watersheds ranging in area from 0.11 to 4.87 square miles. Principal uses of land include farming in two of the watersheds, farming and forestry in one, farming and unreclaimed surface coal mines in one, reclaimed surface coal mines in two, and an unreclaimed surface...
Hydrologic data for Leviathan Mine and vicinity, Alpine County, California, 1981-83
D.P. Hammermeister, S.J. Walmsley
1985, Open-File Report 85-160
The U.S. Geological Survey collected basic hydrologic and water-quality data during 1981-83 to facilitate the geohydrologic evaluation of the Leviathan Mine area and the design of a pollution-abatement project. Surface-water field data included one or more measurements of pH, water temperature, and specific conductance at 45 sites in and adjacent...
Cost-effectiveness of the U.S. Geological Survey's stream-gaging programs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
R. A. Gadoury, J.A. Smath, R. A. Fontaine
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4097
The report documents the results of a study of the cost-effectiveness of the U.S. Geological Survey 's continuous-record stream-gaging programs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Data uses and funding sources were identified for 91 gaging stations being operated in Massachusetts are being operated to provide data for two special purpose...
