Water-resources reconnaissance of the southeastern part of St Paul Island, Pribilof Islands, Alaska
Alvin John Feulner
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-61
A hydrologic reconnaissance of the southeastern part of St. Paul Island, Pribilof Islands, Alaska, was made in August 1979 to determine if sufficient freshwater is available for a proposed harbor and fish-processing facility. Only three wells were being used in 1979, two by the community of St. Paul and one...
Water-quality assessment of the Cypress Creek watershed, Warrick County, Indiana
Linda L. Bobo, Charles A. Peters
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-35
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service needs chemical, biological, microbiological, and hydrological data to prepare an environmental evaluation of the water quality in the Cypress Creek watershed, Warrick County, Ind., before plans can be devised to (1) improve water quality, (2) minimize flooding, (3) reduce sedimentation, and (4) provide adequate outlets...
Effects of the proposed Prosperity Reservoir on ground water and water quality in lower Center Creek basin, Missouri
Wayne R. Berkas, James H. Barks
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-88
Effects of the proposed Prosperity Reservoir on ground water and water quality in lower Center Creek basin depend partly on the effectiveness of Grove Creek as a hydrologic boundary between the reservoir site and the Oronogo-Duenweg mining belt. Results of two dye traces indicate that Grove Creek probably is not...
