Occurrence and transport of agricultural chemicals in the Mississippi River basin, July through August 1993 Occurrence and transport of agricultural chemicals in the Mississippi River basin, July through August 1993
Heavy rainfall and severe flooding in the upper Mississippi River Basin from mid-June through early August 1993 flushed extraordinarily large amounts of agricultural chemicals (herbicides and nitrate) into the Mississippi River, many of its tributaries, and, ultimately, the Gulf of Mexico. Even though extremely high streamflows were recorded during the flood in 1993, concentrations of...

National water summary 1990-91: Hydrologic events and stream water quality National water summary 1990-91: Hydrologic events and stream water quality
National Water Summary 1990-91 Hydrologic Events and Stream Water Quality was planned to complement existing Federal-State water-quality reporting to the U.S. Congress that is required by the Clean Water Act of 1972. This act, formally known as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-500), and its amendments in 1977,1979,1980,1981,1983, and 1987, is the...
Simulating the variable-source-area concept of streamflow generation with the watershed model TOPMODEL Simulating the variable-source-area concept of streamflow generation with the watershed model TOPMODEL
This report describes TOPMODEL, which is a physically based watershed model that simulates the variable-source-area concept of streamflow generation. The report describes the theoretical background, model equations, methods to determine parameter values, Fortran computer code, and an example interactive simulation. Using TOPMODEL requires specification of soils and topographic parameters

Geohydrologic systems in Kansas, geohydrology of the Great Plains aquifer system Geohydrologic systems in Kansas, geohydrology of the Great Plains aquifer system
Sedimentary rocks of Late Cambrian through Early Cretaceous age in Kansas are part of a regional flow system of hydraulically connected aquifers and confining units. Future demands for water require that these deeply buried rocks be studied to describe hydrologic properties and ground-water-flow conditions and to provide information that will serve as the basis for decisions concerning...

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...

Management and analysis of water-use data using a geographic information system Management and analysis of water-use data using a geographic information system
As part of its mission, the U.S. Geological Survey conducts water-resources research. Site-specific and aggregate water-use data are used in the Survey's National Water-Use Information Program and in various hydrologic investigations. Both types of activities have specific requirements in terms of water-use data access, analysis, and display. In Kansas, the Survey obtains water-use...

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...
