Evaluation of selected methods for determining streamflow during periods of ice effect Evaluation of selected methods for determining streamflow during periods of ice effect
Seventeen methods for estimating ice-affected streamflow are evaluated for potential use with the U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging station network. The methods evaluated were identified by written responses from U.S. Geological Survey field offices and by a comprehensive literature search. The methods selected and techniques used for applying the methods are described in this...

Quality-assurance plan for the analysis of fluvial sediment by laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey Quality-assurance plan for the analysis of fluvial sediment by laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey
This report describes procedures used by the Iowa District sediment laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey to assure the quality of sediment-laboratory data. These procedures can be used by other U.S. Geological Survey laboratories regardless of size and type of operation for quality assurance and quality control of specific sediment-laboratory processes. Also described are the...

Herbicide transport in rivers: Importance of hydrology and geochemistry in nonpoint-source contamination Herbicide transport in rivers: Importance of hydrology and geochemistry in nonpoint-source contamination
Alachlor, atrazine, cyanazine, metolachlor, and metribuzin were measured at six sites during 1984 and 1985 in large subbasins within the Cedar River, IA. A computer model separated the Cedar River discharge hydrograph into groundwater and overland-flow components. The concentration of herbicides in the river when groundwater was the major flow component was less than 1.0 μg/L and...

Water resources data, Iowa, water year 1991 Water resources data, Iowa, water year 1991
Water resources data for the 1991 water year for Iowa consist of records of stage discharge,and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; ground water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report contains records of water discharge for 118 stream-gaging stations; stage or contents for 9 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 6...

A summary of water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Iowa, fiscal year 1992 A summary of water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Iowa, fiscal year 1992
Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Iowa consist of collecting hydrologic data and conducting interpretive studies. Hydrologic investigations in Iowa are made through three basic types of projects: (1) hydrologic data-collection programs; (2) local or areal studies; and (3) statewide or regional investigations. These projects are funded through cooperative joint...

National water summary 1988–89 — Hydrologic events and floods and droughts National water summary 1988–89 — Hydrologic events and floods and droughts
National Water Summary 1988-89 - Hydrologic Events and Floods and Droughts documents the occurrence in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands of two types of extreme hydrologic events floods and droughts on the basis of analysis of stream-discharge data. This report details, for the first time, the areal extent of the most notable floods and droughts in each State...
