Evaluation of a digital model for estuarine water quality simulation in waste allocation studies
G.E. Seaburn, Marshall E. Jennings, Michael L. Merritt
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-54
Hydrologic and water-quality data were collected on 4 estuaries in Pasco, Citrus, and Pinellas Counties, Florida, to evaluate modeling results. Current and predicted waste loading of the four estuaries was simulated by use of a two-dimensional steady-state, intertidal-condition model. Concentrations of DO, carbonaceous and nitrogenous BOD, and chloride were simulated...
Effect of Surface Coal Mining on the Hydrology of Crooked and Turkey Creek Basins, Jefferson County, Alabama
Celso Puente, John G. Newton
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-91
Streamflow, sediment yield, and water quality were monitored from October 1975 through May 1977 to determine the impact of surface coal mining on the hydrology of Crooked and Turkey Creek basins in Jefferson County, Alabama. The basins are in the northeast part of the Warrior coal field. Coal is and...
Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
G. L. Giese, Hugh B. Wilder, Garald G. Parker Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-46
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent intensively-farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, saltwater intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too-high or too-low...
Estimated drawdowns in the Floridan aquifer due to increased withdrawals, Duval County, Florida
Bernard J. Franks, G. G. Phelps
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-84
Hydrologic investigations of the Floridan aquifer in Duval County, Florida, have shown that an appropriate simplified model of the aquifer system consists of a series of sub aquifers separated by semipermeable beds. Data from more than 20 aquifer tests were reanalyzed by the Hantush modified method, which takes into account...
Probable hydrologic effects of a hypothetical failure of Mackay Dam on the Big Lost River Valley from Mackay, Idaho to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

The Swinomish Indian Reservation occupies 17 mi2on Fidalgo Island, northwestern Washington. Six square miles are underlain by mudflats or low-lying alluvial deposits, and are not part of the study area. An appraisal of the water resources of the reservation was made because the Swinomish Tribal Community expects rapid economic and...
Environmental features, general hydrology, and external sources of nutrients affecting Wilderness Lake, King County, Washington
