National water summary 1984: Hydrologic events, selected water-quality trends, and ground-water resources National water summary 1984: Hydrologic events, selected water-quality trends, and ground-water resources

Water year 1984 was a year of extreme hydrologic conditions. For the third consecutive year, precipitation and resulting runoff were well above long-term averages in most of the Nation and as much as 400 percent above average in the Southwest. National flood damages during the year were the third highest in a 10-year period (1975-84) an estimated $3.5 to $4 billion. In many of the larger...

Hydrologic and geochemical data for the Big Brown lignite mine area, Freestone County, Texas Hydrologic and geochemical data for the Big Brown lignite mine area, Freestone County, Texas

Lignite mining in east and east-central Texas is increasing in response to increased energy needs throughout the State. Associated with the increase in mining activities is a greater need to know the effects of mining activities on the water quantity and quality of near-surface aquifers. The near-surface lignite beds mined at the Big Brown Lignite Mine are from the Calvert Bluff...

Trend analysis of weekly acid rain data, 1978-83 Trend analysis of weekly acid rain data, 1978-83

There are 19 stations in the National Atmospheric Deposition Program which operated over the period 1978-83 and were subsequently incorporated into the National Trends Network in 1983. The precipitation chemistry data for these stations for this period were analyzed for trend, spatial correlation, seasonality, and relationship to precipitation volume. The intent of the analysis was to...

Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Texas; fiscal years 1982-84 Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Texas; fiscal years 1982-84

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was established by an act of Congress on March 3, 1879, to provide a permanent Federal agency to conduct the systematic and scientific classification of the public lands, and examination of the geological structure, mineral resources, and products of national domain. An integral part of that original mission includes publishing and disseminating the...

Ground-water quality data for the Atlantic Coastal Plain: New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina Ground-water quality data for the Atlantic Coastal Plain: New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina

This report is a compilation of chemical analyses of ground-water samples in the Atlantic Coastal Plain from North Carolina through New Jersey. It contains records of 3,616 chemical analyses of ground water selected from more than 15,000 analyses in WATSTORE. These analyses serve as the data base for interpreting the geochemistry of the northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system...

Sediment sources and transport in Kings Bay and vicinity, Georgia and Florida, July 8-16, 1982 Sediment sources and transport in Kings Bay and vicinity, Georgia and Florida, July 8-16, 1982

Water quality, bottom-material, suspended-sediment, and current velocity data were collected during July 1982 in Kings Bay and vicinity to provide information on the source and transport of estuarine sediments. Kings Bay and Cumberland Sound, the site of the Poseidon Submarine Base in southeast Georgia, are experiencing high rates of sediment deposition and accumulation, which are...

Selected hydrologic data from a wastewater spray disposal site on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina Selected hydrologic data from a wastewater spray disposal site on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

This study presents data collected during a study of the effects on the water table aquifer from wastewater application at rates of up to 5 inches per week on a wastewater spray disposal site on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The study was conducted from April 1982 through December 1983. The disposal site covers approximately 14 acres. Water level and water quality data from organic
