Hydrologic Evaluation of Proposed Ground-Water Withdrawals in Muleshoe Flat Near Wheatland, Southeastern Wyoming

Description: From purpose and scope: This study estimates the time and spatial distribution of ground-water-level declines and streamflow depletions that may have been expected to occur within the vicinity of Muleshoe Flat as a result of the proposed irrigation development. A hydrogeologic reconnaissance of the study area was undertaken to define the ground-water-flow system and to collect pertinent hydrologic and geologic data.

Hydrology of Coal-Resource Areas in the Southern Wasatch Plateau, Central Utah

Description: From purpose and scope: The hydrology of coal-resource areas in the southern Wasatch Plateau in central Utah (fig. 1) was studied by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The study area contains large coal reserves, and much of the area was unleased for mining in 1980. In general, study objectives were to define the surface- and ground-water hydrology and to predict, where possible, the effects of coal mining on the hydrologic system. Watersheds and … more

Hydrology of Salt Walls Creek--A Plains Stream in Southwestern Wyoming

Description: From purpose and scope: The study on which this report is based began during 1975 in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management as part of their Energy Mineral Rehabilitation Inventory and Analysis program. The study was directed toward determining hydrologic processes and their relation to other aspects of the environment in the Salt Wells Creek basin, and how this knowledge might be used in planning for the strip mining of coal.

Hydrology of Selected Basins in the Warrior Coal Field, Alabama -- A Progress Report

Description: Abstract: Hydrologic data are being collected in four basins in the Warrior coal field to provide baseline information to aid in determining the effect mining will have on water resource Basins monitored are in two different geologic and hydrologic environments. Well yields from the Pottsville Formation generally range from 0 to 0.3 L/s, whereas well yields from the Coker Formation generally range from 0.3 L/s to 6.4 L/s. Streamflow distribute reflects seasonal precipitation. Streams draining b… more

Hydrology of the Newberry Volcano Caldera, Oregon

Description: From abstract: Precipitation in the Newberry caldera is nearly in balance with evaporation, evapotranspiration, and and streamflow. A small surplus of water, estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 6,500 acre-feet, is available annually for recharge to deep aquifers beneath the caldera floor.

Hydrology of the Ogallala Aquifer in Ford County, Southwestern Kansas

Description: From purpose and scope: The objectives of this cooperative investigation between the U.S. Geological Survey and Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 3 were (1) to update and interpret geologic and hydrologic information affecting the Ogallala aquifer in Ford County, and (2) to evaluate hydrologic conditions in the Ogallala aquifer in Ford County during 1980 and 1981.

Hydrology of the Wibaux-Beach Lignite Deposit Area, Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota

Description: From objectives and scope: This study was undertaken in response to U.S. Bureau of Land Management concerns for the water resources of the Wibaux-Beach area in the event of lignite mining. The objectives of the study were to: (1) Define the stratigraphic sequence within a few hundred feet above and below the minable lignite; (2) define the premining hydrologic and geochemical regime of the Wibaux-Beach deposit area; and (3) describe some of the hydrologic implications of the strip-mining proces… more

Ice Production and Storage for Seasonal Applications Utilizing Heat Pipe Technology

Description: This report presents the results of the analytical and experimental work of the application of heat pipes to the production of winter ice for seasonal cooling applications. This program consisted of two major subtasks. The first subtask was to develop theoretical models of heat-pipe and system performance. The second subtask was to perform laboratory experiments on full-scale units to measure performance as functions of ambient conditions, and to make design variations in response to experiment… more

ICECO-CEL: A Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Code for Analyzing Primary System Response in Fast Reactors

Description: This report describes a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian code, ICECO-CEL, for analyzing the response of the primary system during hypothetical core disruptive accidents. The implicit Eulerian method is used to calculate the fluid motion so that large fluid distortion, two-dimensional sliding interface, flow around corners, flow through coolant passageways, and out-flow boundary conditions can be treated. The explicit Lagrangian formulation is employed to compute the response of the containment vesse… more

Identification and Classification of Perennial Streams of Arkansas

Description: From introduction: The primary purpose of this study was to identify perennial streams. The secondary purpose was to classify them by flow. This information can be useful for planning and designing water supplies, analyzing environmental and economic impacts of various projects, water-quality modeling, and the determination of optimum and maintenance flows for a variety of instream uses.

Impact of Reservoir-Development Alternatives on Streamflow Quantity in the Yampa River Basin, Colorado and Wyoming

Description: From abstract: "In the Yampa River basin, Colorado-Wyoming, 35 major reservoirs and 2 transmountain diversion have been proposed to provide additional water for increasing uses. A multireservoir-flow computer model was used to simulate effects on streamflow of five potential options--one representing historical conditions and four representing various degrees of reservoir and transmountain-diversion development." It contains maps and tables.
