From introduction: The purpose of this report is to summarize the events that led to the flooding in and around Great Bend, Kansas, to present a summary of estimated damages resulting from the storm, and to document the magnitude and frequency of the measured peak discharges. The report was prepared in cooperation with the Kansas Department of Transportation. Information and additional assistance were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Albuquerque District.

From introduction: The purpose of this report is to describe the method used to estimate irrigation pumpage.

From introduction: The U.S. Geological Survey is currently conducting a two-phase investigation designed to provide hydrologic information about the coal-producing area in Miami, Linn, and Bourbon Counties of eastern Kansas (fig. 1). This report presents information to satisfy the objectives of the first phase of the investigation. These objectives are to: (1) assemble and interpret existing hydrologic data; (2) describe the physical and hydrologic environments based on existing data; and (3) determine additional data needed to evaluate the impacts of coal mining on the hydrology of the study area.

From abstract: The High Plains Regional Aquifer System Analysis study has developed a regional water-resources (and related) data storage and retrieval system to organize and preserve areal interpretive data. The system is general and can easily be adapted for other studies. This report documents the High Plains data base as well as the general system that is independent of the High Plains area.

Abstract: Uranium resources of the Lamar Quadrangle, Colorado and Kansas, were evaluated using National Uranium Resource Evaluation criteria. The environment favorable for uranium is the Lower Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone in the area east of John Martin Reservoir for south Texas roll-type sandstone deposits. Carbonaceous trash and sulfides are abundant in the Dakota Sandstone. The unit underlies a thick Upper Cretaceous section that contains bentonitic beds and uraniferous marine black shale. Water samples from the Dakota Sandstone aquifer contain as much as 122 parts per billion Uranium-3 Oxygen-8. Geologic units considered unfavorable include most of the Paleozoic rocks, except in the Brandon Fault area; the Upper Cretaceous rocks; and the Ogallala Formation. The Dockum Group, Morrison Formation, and Lytle Member of the Purgatoire Formation are unevaluated because of lack of data.

From Introduction: "The La Junta Quadrangle, Colorado and Kansas (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify and delineate areas and geologic units to a depth of 1500 m (5,000 ft) that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits, which could contain at least 100 tons U3O8 and have an average grade of not less than 100 ppm U3O8."

From purpose and scope: The purposes of this investigation were to: (1) establish a data base for water-quality and fluvial-sediment characteristics of selected streams that will serve as a basis for documenting current (1982) conditions, (2) develop relationships between streamflow or specific conductance and water-quality characteristics that can be used to describe water-quality characteristics and determine discharges of dissolved solids, and (3) develop relationships between streamflow and suspended sediment that can be used to determine suspended sediment discharges of streams in the study area.

Abstract: A computer model was developed to calculate the drawdown, due to a proposed well, at all existing wells in the section of the proposed well and at all wells in the adjacent eight sections. The depletion expected in the 9-square-mile area due to all existing wells and the proposed well is computed and compared with allowable limits defined by the Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 3. An optional program permits the evaluation of allowable depletion for one or more townships. All options are designed to run interactively, thus allowing for immediate evaluation of proposed ground-water withdrawals.

Tables listing chemical composition of water and stream sediment samples, along with a table listing the location of the samples, collected in the Wichita quadrangle. A cover page states that there were no uranium occurrences in the quadrangle, therefore Appendices A and C are absent from the associated report, "National Uranium Resource Evaluation, Wichita Quadrangle, Kansas."
