Baseline water quality and preliminary effects of artificial recharge on ground water, south-central Kansas, 1995–98 Baseline water quality and preliminary effects of artificial recharge on ground water, south-central Kansas, 1995–98
To investigate the feasbility of artificial recharge as a method of meeting future water-supply needs and to protect the Equus Beds aquifer from saltwater intrusion from natural and anthropogenic sources to the west, the Equus Beds Ground-Water Recharge from Demonstration Project was begun in 1995. The project is a cooperative effort between the city of Wichita and the Bureau of...

Estimation of potential runoff-contributing areas in the Kansas-Lower Republican River basin, Kansas Estimation of potential runoff-contributing areas in the Kansas-Lower Republican River basin, Kansas
Digital soils and topographic data were used to estimate and compare potential runoff-contributing areas for 19 selected subbasins representing soil, slope, and runoff variability within the Kansas-Lower Republican (KLR) River Basin. Potential runoff-contributing areas were estimated separately and collectively for the processes of infiltration-excess and saturation-excess overland flow...

Deposition of selenium and other constituents in reservoir bottom sediment of the Solomon River Basin, north-central Kansas Deposition of selenium and other constituents in reservoir bottom sediment of the Solomon River Basin, north-central Kansas
The Solomon River drains approximately 6,840 square miles of mainly agricultural land in north-central Kansas. The Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior, has begun a Resource Management Assessment (RMA) of the Solomon River Basin to provide the necessary data for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance before renewal of long-term water-service contracts with...

This report contains papers presented at the seventh Technical Meeting of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Toxic Substances Hydrology (Toxics) Program. The meeting was held March 8-12, 1999, in Charleston, South Carolina. Toxics Program Technical Meetings are held periodically to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of results of recent research activities. The objectives of...
Water-Level Changes, 1980 to 1997, and Saturated Thickness, 1996-97, In the High Plains Aquifer Water-Level Changes, 1980 to 1997, and Saturated Thickness, 1996-97, In the High Plains Aquifer
The High Plains aquifer underlies one of the major agricultural regions in the world, including parts of eight States--Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. In the area underlain by the High Plains aquifer (called the High Plains region in this report), the total number of acres irrigated with ground water expanded rapidly after 1940: 1949--2...

Estimation of potential runoff-contributing areas in Kansas using topographic and soil information Estimation of potential runoff-contributing areas in Kansas using topographic and soil information
Digital topographic and soil information was used to estimate potential runoff-contributing areas throughout Kansas. The results then were used to compare 91 selected subbasins representing soil, slope, and runoff variability. Potential runoff-contributing areas were estimated collectively for the processes of infiltration-excess and saturation-excess overland flow using a set of...
