Selected papers in the hydrologic sciences, 1988-92
Selected Papers in the Hydrologic Sciences, a U.S. Geological Survey-managed journal-type publication in the Water-Supply Paper series, is aimed at meeting widespread public and professional needs for results of state-of-the-art broad-based hydrologic studies. The results of these studies are derived from integrated water-resource projects of the Federal research program, Federal-State cooperative

Documentation of a heat and water transfer model for seasonally frozen soils with application to a precipitation-runoff model
A model that simulates heat and water transfer in soils during freezing and thawing periods was developed and incorporated into the U.S. Geological Survey's Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System. The transfer of heat 1s based on an equation developed from Fourier's equation for heat flux. Field capacity and infiltration rate can vary throughout the freezing and thawing period, depending on soil con

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, portrays th

Estimated use of water in North Dakota in 1985 and trends during 1960-85
Estimates of water use in North Dakota have been compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey every 5 years since 1950. These estimates have been published in national summaries of water use (MacKichan, 1951, 1957; MacKichan and Kammerer, 1961; Murray, 1968; Murrary and Reeves, 1972, 1977; and Solley and others, 1983, 1987). In this report, estimates of offstream water use for 1985 and trends in water

Field experiments and simulations of infiltration-rate response to changes in hydrologic conditions for an artificial-recharge test basin near Oakes, southeastern North Dakota
Ponded depth in an artificial-recharge basin was used as a management option to conduct turbid water from the James River to the Oakes aquifer. Infiltration-rate response to changes in ponded depth was evaluated for a 15xl5-meter artificial-recharge test basin constructed in a medium-sandy soil in the irrigation area near Oakes, southeastern North Dakota. Field experiments conducted at the test ba

Water-resources activities, North Dakota District, fiscal year 1990
The mission of the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, is to provide the hydrologic information and understanding needed for the optimum utilization and management of the Nation's water resources for the overall benefit of the people of the United States. This report describes waterresources activities of the Water Resources Division in North Dakota in fiscal year 1990. Information o
Methods for estimating monthly mean concentrations of selected water-quality constituents for stream sites in the Red River of the North basin, North Dakota and Minnesota
Future development of the Garrison Diversion Unit may divert water from the Missouri River into the Sheyenne River and the Red River of the North for municipal and industrial use. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Canals, Rivers, and Reservoirs Salinity Accounting Procedures model can be used to predict the effect various operating plans could have on water quality in the Sheyenne River and the Red

Chemical and physical data related to ground water in the vicinity of abandoned uraniferous lignite mines, western North Dakota, December 1983 through June 1988
Geochemical and hydrologic data were collected in and around six abandoned uranlferous lignite mines in western North Dakota during December 1983 through June 1988. These data Include well construction and field water-quality data for 224 wells, test holes, and springs. Also Included are water levels in selected wells, lithologlc logs of selected wells and test holes, physical properties and major
