Surface water-quality assessment of the lower Kansas River basin, Kansas and Nebraska; project description Surface water-quality assessment of the lower Kansas River basin, Kansas and Nebraska; project description
In 1986 the U.S. Geological Survey began a National Water-Quality Assessment Program to: (1) provide nationally consistent descriptions of the current status of water quality for a large, diverse, and geographically distributed part of the Nation 's surface water resources; (2) where possible, define trends in water quality; and (3) identify and describe the relation between water...

Analysis of surface-water data network in Kansas for effectiveness in providing regional streamflow information; with a section on theory and application of generalized least squares Analysis of surface-water data network in Kansas for effectiveness in providing regional streamflow information; with a section on theory and application of generalized least squares
This report documents the results of an analysis of the surface-water data network in Kansas for its effectiveness in providing regional streamflow information. The network was analyzed using generalized least squares regression. The correlation and time-sampling error of the streamflow characteristic are considered in the generalized least squares method. Unregulated medium-, low-, and...

Measuring and computing natural ground-water recharge at sites in south-central Kansas Measuring and computing natural ground-water recharge at sites in south-central Kansas
To measure the natural groundwater recharge process, two sites in south-central Kansas were instrumented with sensors and data microloggers. The atmospheric-boundary layer and the unsaturated and saturated soil zones were monitored as a single regime. Direct observations also were used to evaluate the measurements. Atmospheric sensors included an anemometer, a tipping-bucket rain gage...

Floods in Kansas and techniques for estimating their magnitude and frequency on unregulated streams Floods in Kansas and techniques for estimating their magnitude and frequency on unregulated streams
Techniques are presented for generalizing the skewness coefficient of log-Pearson Type III distributions of annual maximum discharges and for flood magnitudes that have selected recurrence intervals from 2 to 100 yr. A weighted least-square (WLS) regression model was used to generalize the coefficients of station skewness that resulted in a root-mean-sq error of prediction of 0.35...

January 1987 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas January 1987 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
Hydrologic data related to water level measurements were collected in observation wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in midwinter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data are provided for relating water level changes from a ' base...

Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Kansas; fiscal years 1985 and 1986 Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Kansas; fiscal years 1985 and 1986
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 groundwater throughout the State. Primary activities include the systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of hydrologic data, evaluation of water demands, and water resources research. Hydrologic

Percentage change in saturated thickness of the High Plains aquifer, west-central Kansas, 1950 to average 1985-87 Percentage change in saturated thickness of the High Plains aquifer, west-central Kansas, 1950 to average 1985-87
Continuing studies are being made in west-central Kansas to provide up-to-date information that will aid in the management of groundwater for irrigation. This report, prepared by the U.S> Geological Survey in cooperation with the Western Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 1, presents the results of the seventh in a series of studies that uses a statistical technique, called...
