Water resources on and near Indian lands in northeastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska; hydrologic data through 1990 Water resources on and near Indian lands in northeastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska; hydrologic data through 1990

Four Kansas Indian Tribes, the Iowa, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, and Sac & Fox are interested in developing the water resources on and near their respective tribe lands. This report presents climatic and geohydrologic data that are useful in describing the available water resources in the 4,005-square-mile area in northeastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska. Climatological data for 1961- 90...

Effects of reservoirs on flood discharges in the Kansas and the Missouri River basins, 1993 Effects of reservoirs on flood discharges in the Kansas and the Missouri River basins, 1993

The floods of 1993 were of historic magnitude as water in the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers reached levels that exceeded many of the previous observed maximums. Although large parts of the flood plains of both rivers upstream from St. Louis, Missouri, were inundated, water levels would have been even higher had it not been for the large volume of runoff retained in flood-control...

Sensitivity of water resources in the Delaware River basin to climate variability and change Sensitivity of water resources in the Delaware River basin to climate variability and change

Because of the greenhouse effect, projected increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels might cause global warming, which in turn could result in changes in precipitation patterns and evapotranspiration and in increases in sea level. This report describes the greenhouse effect; discusses the problems and uncertainties associated with the detection, prediction, and effects of climate...

Agricultural chemical interchange between ground water and surface water, Cedar River basin, Iowa and Minnesota: A study description Agricultural chemical interchange between ground water and surface water, Cedar River basin, Iowa and Minnesota: A study description

A review of the data collected in the Cedar River basin, Iowa and Minnesota, indicates that atrazine is consistently detected in the main-stem river at concentrations greater than 0.10 microgram per liter even during periods of extended base flow. The primary source of atrazine in the river during these periods of base flow is not known. This study is designed to determine how atrazine...

Description of water-resource-related data compiled for Harvey County, south-central Kansas Description of water-resource-related data compiled for Harvey County, south-central Kansas

Site, construction, geologic, water-level, water- quality, water-withdrawal, and well-survey data for sites in Harvey County were compiled in cooper- ation with the Harvey County Health Department as part of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Local Environmental Protection Program (LEPP). These data were entered into a relational data-base management system (RDBMS) to...

Surface-water-quality assessment of the lower Kansas River basin, Kansas and Nebraska: Project data November 1986 through April 1990 Surface-water-quality assessment of the lower Kansas River basin, Kansas and Nebraska: Project data November 1986 through April 1990

Surface-water-quality data were collected from the lower Kansas River Basin in Kansas and Nebraska. The data are presented in 17 tables consisting of physical properties, concentrations of dissolved solids and major ions, dissolved and total nutrients, dissolved and total major metals and trace elements, radioactivity, organic carbon, pesticides and other synthetic-organic compounds...
