Drainage-area data for Wisconsin streams
E.W. Henrich, D.N. Daniel
1983, Open-File Report 83-933
Drainage areas were determined for more than 7,000 sites in Wisconsin's 11 major river basins, including all named streams draining 5 or more square miles, and all unnamed streams draining 10 or more square miles. Also determined are drainage areas for gaging stations, sewage-treatment plants, dams, major highway crossings, and...

Ground-water-use trends in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Minnesota, 1880-1980
M.A. Horn
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4033
Detailed ground-water-use information from 1880 to 1980 has been collected and analyzed for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Interpretation of historic water-use data was required to help water-resource planners and managers assess future trends in water use. Data were also needed for three computer-simulation models of ground-water flow being developed...

Reconnaissance of surface-water resources in the Kobuk River basin, Alaska, 1979-80
J.M. Childers, D.R. Kernodle
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4027
Surface water data were collected at selected sites in the Kobuk River Basin in northwest Alaska in August 1979 and April 1980. In August 1979, frequent heavy rains caused abnormally high flows in the basin; unit runoff values, computed from discharge measurements at 25 sites, ranged from 0.08 to 12.2...
Water resources of the Santa Fe River basin, Florida
J. D. Hunn, L. J. Slack
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4075
The Santa Fe River basin is a 1,384 square-mile area in north-central Florida. The principal source of water is the Floridan aquifer, a sequence of limestone beds, the upper 300 to 800 feet of which contain potable water. The western part of the basin has the greatest potential yields for...

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...
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...

Source, use, and disposition of water in Florida, 1980
S.D. Leach
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4090
An average of 21,206 million gallons of water was withdrawn for use in Florida each day for the combined use for public supplies , rural domestic and livestock, industrial self-supplied, irrigation, and thermoelectric power generation. This amount, broken down into 7,309 millions gallons per day of freshwater and 13,897 million...
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...
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...
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...
Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia
R.F. Carter
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4158
The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated...

Hydraulic-fracturing measurmements in two boreholes near the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, Climax Stock, Nevada Test Site
William L. Ellis
1983, Open-File Report 83-406
Hydraulic-fracturing measurements are used to infer the magnitude of the least principal stress in the vicinity of the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, located in the Climax stock at the Nevada Test Site. The measurements, made at various depths in two exploratory boreholes, suggest that the local stress field is not uniform....
