Explaining spatial variability in mean annual runoff in the conterminous United States Explaining spatial variability in mean annual runoff in the conterminous United States

The hydrologic concepts needed in a water-balance model to estimate the spatial variation in mean annual runoff for the 344 climate divisions in the conterminous United States (U.S.) were determined. The concepts that were evaluated were the climatic supply of water (precipitation), climatic demand for water (potential evapotranspiration), seasonality in supply and demand, and soil...

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...

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...
