Natural hazards on alluvial fans: the debris flow and flash flood disaster of December 1999, Vargas state, Venezuela Natural hazards on alluvial fans: the debris flow and flash flood disaster of December 1999, Vargas state, Venezuela
Large populations live on or near alluvial fans in locations such as Los Angeles, California, Salt Lake City, Utah, Denver, Colorado, and lesser known areas such as Sarno, Italy, and Vargas, Venezuela. Debris flows and flash floods occur episodically in these alluvial fan environments, and place many communities at high risk during intense and prolonged rainfall. In December 1999...

Simulation of ground-water discharge to Biscayne Bay, southeastern Florida Simulation of ground-water discharge to Biscayne Bay, southeastern Florida
As part of the Place-Based Studies Program, the U.S. Geological Survey initiated a project in 1996, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to quantify the rates and patterns of submarine ground-water discharge to Biscayne Bay. Project objectives were achieved through field investigations at three sites (Coconut Grove, Deering Estate, and Mowry Canal) along the coastline of...

Science Plan, U.S. Geological Survey Florida District Science Plan, U.S. Geological Survey Florida District
This Science Plan has been prepared by the Florida District of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as a tool to provide direction for the scientific work to be accomplished in the District during the next 5-10 years. A Science Plan can serve as a guide to determine the optimum use of the limited financial resources of the USGS in Florida to address water resource issues. The Florida...

Surface-water, water-quality, and ground-water assessment of the Municipio of Carolina, Puerto Rico, 1997-99 Surface-water, water-quality, and ground-water assessment of the Municipio of Carolina, Puerto Rico, 1997-99
To meet the increasing need for a safe and adequate supply of water in the municipio of Carolina, an integrated surface-water, water-quality, and ground-water assessment of the area was conducted. The major results of this study and other important hydrologic and water-quality features were compiled in a Geographic Information System and are presented in two 1:30,000-scale map plates to...
