Water resources data for Florida, water year 1985. Volume 2A. South Florida surface water
Water resources data for the 1985 water year in Florida consists of continuous or daily discharge for 285 streams, periodic discharge for 38 streams, miscellaneous discharge for 110 streams, continuous or daily stage for 124 streams, periodic stage for 32 streams, peak discharge for 98 streams and peak stage for 87 streams; continuous or daily eleva-tions for 89 lakes, periodic elevations for 82,1akes; continuous ground-water levels for 473 wens, periodic gound-water levels for 550 wells, and miscellaneous water level measurements for 2,588 wells; quality of water data for 239 surface-water sites and 699 wells. The data for south Florida include continuous or daily discharge for 73 streams, periodic discharge for 3-streams, peak discharge for 2 streams, continuous or daily stage for 71 streams, periodic stage for 1 stream, peak discharge for 27 streams, and peak stage for 27 streams; continuous elevations for 14 lakes, and periodic elevations for 4 lakes; continuous ground-water levels for 198 wells, periodic ground-water levels for 136 wells, and miscellaneous water-level measurements for 521 wells; quality-of-water for 49 surface-water sites and 310 wells. These data represent the National Water Data System records collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating local, state and federal agencies in Florida.

Sediment and channel-geometry investigations for the Kansas River bank stabilization study, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado
Analysis of hydrologic data from the Kansas River basin suggests that the channels of the lower Solomon, Saline, and Smoky Hill Rivers have narrowed and stabilized as a result of construction of upstream reservoirs. The Kansas River channel, however, remains relatively unstable and locally active. Streamflow regulation and sediment trapping by reservoirs are possible causes of changes occurring at various Kansas River sites. An inferred deficiency of the suspended-sediment load, however, is likely to cause continuing instability. Suspended sediment in the Kansas River apparently is too sparse to form and maintain stable alluvial banks. The deficiency probably results in an increase of bed material movement, general channel widening, and local braiding. Significant channel degradation is lacking at most sites, but may occur in response to long-term (decades-to-centuries) regulation. Recent degradation near Bonner Springs, Kans., may be the result of sand and gravel removal. Any imposed changes that shorten the channel or reduce the suspended-sediment discharge of the Kansas River are expected to cause additional channel instability. (USGS)
