Hydrologic data from the Tamarack Wildlife Area and vicinity, Logan County, Colorado
Alan W. Burns
1983, Open-File Report 83-139
Hydrologic data were collected from the Tamarack Ranch Wildlife area and vicinity near Crook, Colo., during the period September 1979 to August 1981. These data will aid in the analysis of the effects of proposed water-development projects on the hydrologic system of the wildlife area. The data collected included a...
Ground-water contamination at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan
J. R. Stark, T. R. Cummings, F. R. Twenter
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4002
A sand and gravel aquifer of glacial origin underlies Wurtsmith Air Force Base in northeastern lower Michigan. The aquifer overlies a thick clay layer at an average depth of 65 feet. The water table is about 10 feet below land surface in the western part of the Base and about...
Reservoir evaporation in central Colorado
N.E. Spahr, B. C. Ruddy
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4103
Evaporation losses from seven reservoirs operated by the Denver Water Department in central Colorado were determined during various periods from 1974 to 1980. The reservoirs studies were Ralston, Cheesman, Antero, Williams Fork, Elevenmile Canyon, Dillon, and Gross. Energy-budget and mass-transfer methods were used to determine evaporation. Class-A pan data also...
Floods of April 1983 in southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana
Darrell D. Carlson, Gary D. Firda
1983, Open-File Report 83-685
Extreme flooding occurred in April 1983 in southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana. The floods resulted from a near-stationary cold front, which moved slowly across Louisiana and Mississippi. Flood heights and discharges of many streams exceeded previously known maximums of record, and for many the recurrence interval of peak discharge exceeded...
Water resources of the Tulalip Indian Reservation, Washington
B. W. Drost
1983, Open-File Report 82-648
Water will play a significant role in the future development of the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Ground-water resources are sufficient to supply several times the 1978 population. Potential problems associated with increased ground-water development are saltwater encroachment in the coastal areas and septic-tank contamination of shallow aquifers. There are sufficient good-quality...
Sourcebook of locations of geophysical surveys in tunnels and horizontal holes including results of seismic-refraction surveys, Rainier Mesa, Aqueduct Mesa, and Area 16, Nevada Test Site
R. D. Carroll, J. E. Kibler
1983, Open-File Report 83-399
Seismic refraction surveys have been obtained sporadically in tunnels in zeolitized tuff at the Nevada Test Site since the late 1950's. Commencing in 1967 and continuing to date (1982), extensive measurements of shear- and compressional-wave velocities have been made in five tunnel complexes in Rainier and Aqueduct Mesas and in...
Availability of water from the Outwash Aquifer, Marion County, Indiana
B.S. Smith
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4144
The outwash aquifer in Marion County, Indiana is a continuous, unconfined sand and gravel deposit containing isolated boulder, till, silt, and clay deposits along the White River, Fall Creek, and Eagle Creek. Flow in the aquifer is from the boundaries of the aquifer with the Tipton till plain toward the...
Methods for estimating peak discharge and flood boundaries of streams in Utah
B. E. Thomas, K.L. Lindskov
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4129
Equations for estimating 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year peak discharges and flood depths at ungaged sites in Utah were developed using multiple-regression techniques. Ratios of 500- to 100-year values also were determined. The peak discharge equations are applicable to unregulated streams and the flood depth equations are applicable...
Trends in polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations in Hudson River water five years after elimination of point sources
R. A. Schroeder, C.R. Barnes
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4206
Industrial discharge of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to the Hudson River from 1950 to the mid-1970 's has resulted in serious degradation of the water. Contaminated river-bottom sediments continue to contribute PCBs to the river water. Concentrations in the sediment range from several hundred micrograms per gram near the outfall to...
Polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations in Hudson River water and treated drinking water at Waterford, New York
R. A. Schroeder, C.R. Barnes
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4188
Past discharge of PCBs into the Hudson River has resulted in contaminant concentrations of a few tenths of a microgram per liter in the water. Waterford is one of two large municipal users of the Hudson River for drinking-water supply. The treatment scheme at the Waterford plant, which processes approximately...
Origin and character of loesslike silt in unglaciated south-central Yakutia, Siberia, U.S.S.R.
Troy Lewis Pewe, Andre Journaux
1983, Professional Paper 1262
Loesslike silt mantles upland terraces and low plateaus throughout unglaciated south-central Yakutia but is thickest along the south side of the lower Aldan River valley and the east side of the Lena River valley. The silt is probably loess deposited during glacial advances by winds blowing southward from the Verkhoyansk...
Water resources of the Truk Islands
Otto Van der Brug
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4082
The Truk Islands, part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific, consist of 19 volcanic islands and about 65 coral islets. The volcanic islands and some of the coral islets are scattered in an 820-square-mile lagoon enclosed by a 125-mile long barrier reef. Moen, although not the largest, is...
Preliminary results of spectral induced polarization measurements, Wadi Bidah District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Bruce D. Smith, C. L. Tippens, V. J. Flanigan, Hamdy Sadek
1983, Open-File Report 83-612
Laboratory spectral induced polarization (SIP) measurements on 29 carbonaceous schist samples from the Wadi Bidah district show that most are associated with very long polarization decays or, equivalently, large time constants. In contrast, measurements on two massive sulfide samples indicate shorter polarization decays or smaller time constants. This difference in...
Preliminary lithologic, geotechnical, and geophysical data from drill hole CW-81-2, Chuitna West coal field, Cook Inlet region, Alaska
Jack K. Odum, Cynthia A. Gardner, Lynn A. Yehle, Henry R. Schmoll, Larry L. Dearborn
1983, Open-File Report 83-78
The drilling and logging activity described in this report was undertaken in July 1981, as part of the Energy Lands program of the U.S. Geological Survey. The general objectives of the project of which this work is a part are to provide an understanding of the nature, location, and extent...
