Physical and hydrologic environments of the Mulberry coal reserves in eastern Kansas Physical and hydrologic environments of the Mulberry coal reserves in eastern Kansas
Strippable reserves of Mulberry coal underlie an area of approximately 300 square miles of Miami, Linn, and Bourbon Counties of eastern Kansas. Although subject to State reclamation law, current and projected strip mining of this relatively thin coal seam could alter and hydrologic environment of the study area. Drained by the Marais des Cygnes and Little Osage Rivers and their...

Sediment and channel-geometry investigations for the Kansas River bank stabilization study, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado Sediment and channel-geometry investigations for the Kansas River bank stabilization study, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado
Analysis of hydrologic data from the Kansas River basin suggests that the channels of the lower Solomon, Saline, and Smoky Hill Rivers have narrowed and stabilized as a result of construction of upstream reservoirs. The Kansas River channel, however, remains relatively unstable and locally active. Streamflow regulation and sediment trapping by reservoirs are possible causes of changes...

Yearly variations in runoff and frequency of dry years for the conterminous United States, 1911-79 Yearly variations in runoff and frequency of dry years for the conterminous United States, 1911-79
Gaging-station data are presented on variations in annual runoff over the conterminous United States and nearby Canada during the period 1911-79 in tabular and graphic (map) form. These data bring up-to-date and extend backward in time previous reports on streamflow stations by Harbeck and Langbein in 1949 which covered the period 1921-45 and that by Busby in 1963 which covered the...

Determination of irrigation pumpage in parts of Kearny and Finney Counties, southwestern Kansas Determination of irrigation pumpage in parts of Kearny and Finney Counties, southwestern Kansas
Irrigation pumpage was determined for parts of Kearny and Finney Counties in Southwestern Kansas using crop-acreage data and consumptive, irrigation-water requirements. Irrigated acreages for 1974-80 were compiled for wheat, grain sorghum, corn, and alfalfa using records from the U.S. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Consumptive-irrigation requirements were computed...

Streamflow characteristics related to channel geometry of streams in western United States Streamflow characteristics related to channel geometry of streams in western United States
Assessment of surface-mining and reclamation activities generally requires extensive hydrologic data. Adequate streamflow data from instrumented gaging stations rarely are available, and estimates of surface- water discharge based on rainfall-runoff models, drainage area, and basin characteristics sometimes have proven unreliable. Channel-geometry measurements offer an alternative method...
