Geohydrologic systems in Kansas: Physical framework of the upper aquifer unit in the western interior plains aquifer system Geohydrologic systems in Kansas: Physical framework of the upper aquifer unit in the western interior plains aquifer system

The purpose of this Hydrologic Investigations Atlas is to provide a description of the principal geohydrologic systems in Upper Cambrian through Lower Cretaceous rocks in Kansas. This investigation was made as part of the Central Midwest Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (CMRASA). The CMRASA is one of several major investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey of regional aquifer systems...

Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Kansas; fiscal years 1989,1990, and 1991 Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Kansas; fiscal years 1989,1990, and 1991

The principal mission of the U. S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, in Kansas is to investigate the occurrence, quantity, quality, distribution, and movement of surface and ground water throughout the State. Primary activities include the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of hydrologic data, evaluation of water demands, and water-resources research. Four...

Use of weather types to disaggregate general circulation model predictions Use of weather types to disaggregate general circulation model predictions

General circulation models (GCMs) simulate climatic conditions with a grid cell resolution on the order of 100,000 km2. This resolution is inadequate to assess the effects of climatic change on water resources at a regional scale. A method has been developed that uses weather-type analysis as a tool to spatially disaggregate GCM predictions to make them useful for water resource studies...

Surface water-quality assessment of the lower Kansas River basin, Kansas and Nebraska: analysis of available water-quality data through 1986 Surface water-quality assessment of the lower Kansas River basin, Kansas and Nebraska: analysis of available water-quality data through 1986

Beginning in 1986, the U.S. Congress appropriated funds for the U.S. Geological Survey to test and refine concepts for a National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. The long-term goals of the full-scale program are to: (1) provide a nationally consistent description of current water-quality conditions for a large part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources; (2) define...
