Trace-element geochemistry of postorogenic granites from the northeastern Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
John S. Stuckless, R. J. Knight, G. VanTrump, J. R. Budahn
1983, Open-File Report 83-287
Concentrations determined for all of the trace elements included in this study of postorogenic granites from the northeastern Arabian Shield are best described by log-normal distributions. The trace elements are divided into two groups: (1) compatible lithophile and siderophile elements (strontium, cobalt, scandium, manganese, europium, and titanium) and (2) incompatible...

Effects of ground-water development in the North Fort Hood area, Coryell County, Texas
W.M. Sandeen
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4074
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the adequacy of the existing ground-water supplies of North Fort Hood, located in Coryell County in central Texas and an important part of the U.S. Army's Fort Hood Military Reservation. The U.S. Geological Survey was requested to compile the available ground-water data,...
Flood characteristics of urban watersheds in the United States
Vernon B. Sauer, W.O. Thomas Jr., V.A. Stricker, K. V. Wilson
1983, Water Supply Paper 2207
A nationwide study of flood magnitude and frequency in urban areas was made for the purpose of reviewing available literature, compiling an urban flood data base, and developing methods of estimating urban floodflow characteristics in ungaged areas. The literature review contains synopses of 128 recent publications related to urban floodflow....
Garnet peridotites from Williams kimberlites, north-central Montana, U.S.A
B.C. Hearn, E. S. McGee
1983, Open-File Report 83-172
Two Williams kimberlites, 250x350m and 37x390m, in the eastern part of a swarm of 30 middle Eocene alnoitic diatremes in north-central Montana, USA, contain xenoliths of garnet-bearing lherzolites, harzburgites and dunites, in addition to spinel peridotites and upper and lower crustal amphibolites and granulites. Colluvial purple, red, and pink garnets...
Trace metals in surface water and stream sediments of Healy and Lignite Creek basins, Alaska
Bruce Parks
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4173
Water quality and streamflow in the Russian River basin during low-flow seasons (May to October), were studied for water years 1973-78 to document water-quality and streamflow conditions in the basin, and to determine the extent and cause of any water-quality impairment. The most important factors affecting surface-water quality and streamflow...

Use of flumes in measuring discharge
F. A. Kilpatrick, V.R. Schneider
1983, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A14
Flumes for measuring discharge are usually of two general groups-critical-flow flumes and supercritical-flow flumes. In this chapter, the underlying design principles for each group are discussed; the most commonly used flumes are described and their discharge ratings presented. There is also discussion of considerations in choosing and fitting the appropriate...
Numerical simulation of ground-water flow in lower Satus Creek Basin, Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington
E. A. Prych
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4065
A multilayer numerical model of steady-state ground-water flow in lower Satus Creek basin was constructed, calibrated using time-averaged data, and used to estimate the long-term effects of proposed irrigation-water management plans on ground-water levels in the area. Model computations showed that irrigation of new lands in the Satus uplands would...

1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4062
Water-quality data were collected from 92 wells in the western Snake River basin, Swan Falls to Glenns Ferry, Idaho. Current data were compiled with pre-1980 data from 116 wells to define water-quality conditions in major aquifers. Factors affecting water quality are composition of aquifer materials, water temperature, and source of...
