A procedure for predicting concentrations of dissolved solids and sulfate ion in streams draining areas strip mined for coal A procedure for predicting concentrations of dissolved solids and sulfate ion in streams draining areas strip mined for coal
Current trends in increased coal production neccessitate the development of techniques to appraise the environmental degradation that results from strip mining. A procedure is introduced for the prediction of dissolved-solids and sulfate-ion concentrations in streams draining strip-mined areas as functions of the percentage of the drainage area that has been strip mined. These...

Multiyear Low Flow Of Streams In Northeastern Kansas Multiyear Low Flow Of Streams In Northeastern Kansas
Many existing water supplies in northeastern Kansas are proving inadequate to meet current and expanded future needs. One of the methods by which the use of highly variable streamflow in the area can be evaluated is with the aid of multiyear low-flow frequency information. Using data form 19 streamflow-gaging stations in the study area, maps were developed from which the mean annual...

Geohydrology and model analysis for water-supply management in a small area of west-central Kansas Geohydrology and model analysis for water-supply management in a small area of west-central Kansas
The Ogallala Formation in the intensive-study area, an area of 12 square miles in northeastern Wichita County, west-central Kansas, has had a substantial decrease in saturated thickness since the development of irrigation. The annual water-level decline during 1950-78 ranged from 1.08 to 2.22 feet per year. The hydrologic system was investigated to study methods of conserving the...

Geohydrology of southwestern Kansas Geohydrology of southwestern Kansas
Southwestern Kansas is one of the principal areas of ground-water development for irrigation in the State, and many reports are available concerning ground-water conditions in the area. The purposes of this investigation were to consolidate and update data, to determine the extent and effects of irrigation development on the ground-water resource, to determine the chemical quality of the...

Statistical summaries of water-quality data for streams draining coal-mined areas, southeastern Kansas Statistical summaries of water-quality data for streams draining coal-mined areas, southeastern Kansas
Summaries of descriptive statistics are compiled for 14 data-collection sites located on streams draining areas that have been shaft mined and strip mined for coal in Cherokee and Crawford Counties in southeastern Kansas. These summaries include water-quality data collected from October 1976 through April 1979. Regression equations relating specific conductance and instantaneous...

Maps showing saturated thickness, January 1979, and percentage decrease in saturated thickness, 1950-79, of unconsolidated aquifer, west-central Kansas Maps showing saturated thickness, January 1979, and percentage decrease in saturated thickness, 1950-79, of unconsolidated aquifer, west-central Kansas
The principal water-yielding formation (unconsolidated aquifer) supplying water to wells in west-central Kansas is comprised of the Ogallala Formation and undifferentiated Pleistocene deposits. About 1,860 square miles of the area are underlain by sufficient saturated material to supply groundwater for irrigation. Saturated thickness in the area ranges from less than 50 feet to about 270...

Variation of alluvial-channel width with discharge and character of sediment Variation of alluvial-channel width with discharge and character of sediment
Use of channel measurements to estimate discharge characteristics of alluvial streams has shown that little agreement exists for the exponent of the width-discharge relation. For the equation Q = aWAb, where Q is mean discharge and WA is active-channel width, it is proposed that the exponent, b, should be of fixed value for most natural, perennial, alluvial stream channels and that the...

Water-resources investigations in Kansas; fiscal year 1978 Water-resources investigations in Kansas; fiscal year 1978
Hydrologic investigations in Kansas during fiscal year 1978 consisted of collecting and analyzing data to assess the State 's water resources, describe the framework of hydrologic systems , and provide quantity and quality of water data for optimum development and management. Surface-water studies were made to analyze long-term records of streamflow, basin and stream-channel...
