Verification of step-backwater computations on ephemeral streams in northeastern Wyoming
Stanley A. Druse
1982, Water Supply Paper 2199
Step-backwater computations were verified by subsequent discharge measurements at three ephemeral streamflow stations in northeastern Wyoming. The standard step-backwater method for gradually varied, subcritical flow was used in computing the water-surface profiles and stage-discharge ratings. Step-backwater computations were made at selected intervals from I through 1,000 cubic feet per second...

Water-level maps of the alluvial aquifer, northwestern Mississippi, September 1981
Daphne Darden
1982, Open-File Report 82-574
The study area, locally known as "the Delta", covers the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain in northwestern Mississippi. The Delta is a nearly flat southward sloping surface characterized by oxbow lakes, abandoned stram channels, natural levees, backswamp areas, and bayous.The accompanying maps were prepared to show the effects of ground-water withdrawal...

Geohydrology of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, North and South Dakota
Lewis W. Howells
1982, Hydrologic Atlas 644
Effective improvement of economic and social conditions of Indians living on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation has been hampered by lack of adequate and reliable information about the quantity and quality of water supplies available for development. Compounding the problem is the recent filling of Oahe Reservoir (now Lake Oahe),...

Technique for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in natural-flow streams in Florida
W. C. Bridges
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4012
A technique is presented for estimating floods on natural-flow streams in Florida for specific recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10 , 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 years. Florida peaks from 159 stream-gaging stations with long-term records (10-53 years) and 23 rainfall-runoff stations with short-term records (7-17 years) were used...
Water quality of the French Broad River, North Carolina — An analysis of data collected at Marshall, 1958-1977
C. C. Daniel III, Hugh B. Wilder, M. S. Weiner
1982, Water Supply Paper 2185-C
An investigation of water quality in the French Broad River in North Carolina has resulted in the definition of variations in water quality, a determination of the degree to which the quality of water in the river has been affected by man 's activities, and an analysis of trends in...
Trap-efficiency study, Highland Creek flood-retarding reservoir near Kelseyville, California, water years 1966-77
L.F. Trujillo
1982, Water Supply Paper 2182
This investigation is part of a nationwide study of trap efficiency of detention reservoirs. In this report, trap efficiency was computed from reservoir inflow and outflow sediment data and from reservoir survey and outflow data. Highland Creek Reservoir is a flood-retarding reservoir located in Lake County, near Kelseyville, California. This...
Geothermal resources in the Banbury Hot Springs area, Twin Falls County, Idaho
R.E. Lewis, Harold William Young
1982, Water Supply Paper 2186
Thermal water 30.0 degrees to 72.0 degrees Celsius is produced from 26 wells and 2 springs in the vicinity of Banbury Hot Springs near Buhl, Idaho. Thermal water is used for residence heating, catfish and tropical fish production, greenhouse operation, swimming pools, and therapeutic baths. In 1979, 10,300 acre-feet of...
Program for evaluating stream quality in North Carolina

Sites on streams for...
Some chemical characteristics of mine drainage in Illinois
L.G. Toler
1982, Water Supply Paper 2078
Surface mining for coal in Illinois has affected runoff from the mined areas and altered water quality in the streams. Average annual sulfate loads in streams are 3,000-4,000 tons per square mile of mined land in the Big Muddy and Saline River basins in southern Illinois. Relatively high concentrations of...
