Assessment of water resources in lead-zinc mined areas in Cherokee County, Kansas, and adjacent areas Assessment of water resources in lead-zinc mined areas in Cherokee County, Kansas, and adjacent areas
A study was conducted to evaluate water-resources problems related to abandoned lead and zinc mines in Cherokee County, Kansas, and adjacent areas in Missouri and Oklahoma. Past mining activities have caused changes in the hydrogeology of the area. Lead and zinc mining has caused discontinuities and perforations in the confining shale west of the Pennsylvanian-Mississippian geologic...

Floodflow characteristics at proposed bridge site for State Highway 99, Kansas River at Wamego, Kansas Floodflow characteristics at proposed bridge site for State Highway 99, Kansas River at Wamego, Kansas
The Kansas Department of Transportation has proposed replacing a bridge over the Kansas River on State Highway 99, at Wamego, Kansas. The ability of the main channel along with the existing agricultural levee to contain the flow of the Kansas River, the effect of overflow structures under the highway south of the bridge, and the effect of an island upstream from the proposed bridge are...

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...

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

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...

Reconnaissance of water quality in the High Plains Aquifer beneath agricultural lands, south-central Kansas Reconnaissance of water quality in the High Plains Aquifer beneath agricultural lands, south-central Kansas
The High Plains of western Kansas was one of 14 areas selected for preliminary groundwater quality reconnaissance by the U.S. Geological Survey 's Toxic Waste--Groundwater Contamination Program. The specific objective was to evaluate the effects of land used for agriculture (irrigated cropland and non-irrigated rangeland) on the water in the High Plains aquifer. Conceptual inferences...
