Water resources data, New Mexico, water year 1984

Water resources data for the 1984 water year for New Mexico consist of records of discharge and water quality of streams; stage, contents and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality in wells and springs. This report contains discharge records for 173 gaging stations; stage and contents for 25 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 76 gaging stations and 196 wells

Water resources data Iowa, water year 1984

Water resources data for the 1984 water year for Iowa consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; ground-water levels and ground-water quality. This report contains discharge records for 115 gaging stations; stage and contents for 7 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 17 gaging stations; and water levels for

Annual summary of ground-water conditions in Arizona, Spring 1983 to Spring 1984

A summary map shows various aspects of groundwater availability in Arizona. Potential well production, in increments of 0 to 10 gpm, 10 to 500 gpm, and 50 to 2500 gpm (average 1000 gpm) os the primary emphasis of the map; however, data on changes in water level from spring 1983 to spring 1984, status of groundwater inventory, and estimated groundwater pumpage in Arizona in 1983, are also presented

Approximate water-level changes in wells in the Chichot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-85 and 1984-85, and measured compaction, 1973-85, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas

This report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston and the Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, present data on water-level changes during 1977-85 and 1984-85 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers (figs. 1-4) and data on measured compaction 1973-85 (fig. 5). Water levels in about 500 wells were used to construct the maps showing water-level changes.  Compation data were obta

The effects of grazers and light penetration on the survival of transplants of Vallisneria americana Michs in the tidal Potomac River, Maryland

Poor light penetration and grazing are among the factors potentially responsible for the lack of submersed aquatic macrophytes in the tidal Potomac River. Between 1980 and 1983, plugs, springs and tubers of Vallisneria americana Michx were transplanted from the oligohaline Potomac Estuary to six sites in the freshwater tidal Potomac River. Transplants made in 1980 and 1981 were generally successfu

New approach to calibrating bed load samplers

Cyclic variations in bed load discharge at a point, which are an inherent part of the process of bed load movement, complicate calibration of bed load samplers and preclude the use of average rates to define sampling efficiencies. Calibration curves, rather than efficiencies, are derived by two independent methods using data collected with prototype versions of the Helley‐Smith sampler in a large

Recent movement on the Garlock Fault as suggested by water level fluctuations in a well in Fremont Valley, California

Water levels have been continuously recorded since March 1978 in a well in Fremont Valley, where several strands of the adjacent Garlock fault zone have exhibited both left-lateral displacement and components of normal displacement. Differences in water levels indicate that a fault segment lies between the observation well and a nearby irrigation well. During the 4-year recording period, six sharp

Reported withdrawals and estimated use of water in Oklahoma during 1982

Reported water withdrawals in Oklahoma during 1982 were 1,270.64 million gallons per day. The withdrawals were about equally distributed between ground water and surface water with 46 percent being ground water and 54 percent being surface water. In general, the western counties rely on ground water and the eastern counties rely on surface water as their major sources of supply. The major withdraw
