Water resources data collected in the Pacific Northwest during the 1972 water year include chemical and physical characteristics of surface water. Data included in this report were collected by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of the following district chiefs: H.K. Hall, Idaho; George M. Pike, Montana; S.F. Kapustka, Oregon; and L.B. Laird, Washington.
The Geological Survey has published records of chemical quality, water temperatures, and sediment since 1941 in an annual series of water-supply papers entitled \"Quality of Surface Waters of the United States.\" Beginning with the 1964 water year, water-quality records have been published by the Geological Survey in annual reports on a State-boundary basis. These reports are available from the district offices.
This report is for limited distribution and is intended primarily for rapid release of selected data shortly after the end of the water year. Data contained herein is provisional and subject to revision before final publication in the foregoing reports. The following pages contain listings of selected constituents and their values sampled at 34 selected sites in the'Pacific Northwest. The sites are listed in downstream order by states. The constituent values recorded in the tables are the results of laboratory determinations except for water temperature, Ph, Dissolved Oxygen, Specific Conductance, Alkalinity, and Immediate Coliform count, which are the results of field determinations.
These data were collected and analyzed by the Geological Survey under cooperative programs with Environmental Protection Agency and other Federal, State, County, and municipal organizations as identified in the annual State-wide reports. Additional water-quality data may be obtained from district offices of the Geological Survey and from Environmental Protection Agency.

We studied the ceca of normal adult rats by light and electron microscopy to determine whether any specific bacterial population localizes in this area. All rats studied showed that the crypt was packed with organisms whose morphological character differs from those of the cecal lumen. Organisms localized in the crypt were often identified topographically close to the microvilli of the epithelial cells. These organisms could be differentiated into three types according to their characteristic ultrastructure. Type 1 was a thin spiral-shaped microbe that resembled a Borrelia. Type 2 possessed helically coiled fibers and flagella-like appendages. Type 3 was spiral-shaped but lacked axial fibers. Types 1 and 2 were both capable of penetrating through the crypt epithelium into the lamina propria where they were found in either phagocytes or extracellular locations. These observations are discussed in relation to other host-microflora localization patterns.
A histologic examination was carried out on fry with experimentally induced channel catfish virus disease (CCVD). The infection produced a hemorrhagic and necrotic disease with the target organs being the kidneys, liver, digestive tract, and skeletal muscle. The results agree with symptoms of the disease and with published data on quantifications of virus in specific organs.

The period selected for the calculation was 1930-66. \r\n\r\nPermeability of the water-bearing sediments was calculated from aquifer test data and from computations involving specific-capacity data from 200 wells in the outflow area. Permeability ranged from less than 100 to more than 5,000 gallons per day per square foot. \r\n\r\nThe annual hydraulic gradient was derived from contour maps of average water levels in wells for each water year for the period 1930-66. \r\n\r\nThe cross-sectional area used to calculate ground-water outflow from Chino basin extends southwestward from Pedley Hills to Puente Hills. The area of the outflow section is the saturated thickness of permeable materials measured along the line of section. Part of the lower boundary is the interface between the alluvium and the underlying basement complex, and part is a change in permeability within sedimentary rocks. Geological methods were combined with geophysical methods to determine the cross-sectional area of the water-bearing sediments. Gravity and seismic traverses, drill-hole logs, and data from a more than 600 drill holes, including eight test holes drilled as a part of this investigation, were used to delineate the size and the shape of the outflow area. For the period of calculation, 1930-66, the total area of the outflow section varied from about 16 to 22 million square feet. The fluctuation in total area is caused by changes in the altitude of the water table. \r\n\r\nAnnual ground-water outflow from Chino basin calculated by the direct method for the period 1930-66 ranged from 38,000 acre-feet in the 1941 water year to 9,400 acre-feet in the 1966 water year.\r\n\r\nTwo indirect methods of calculating ground-water outflow were studied as a part of this project: the chemical method and the water-budget method. The chemical method was found to be unsatisfactory. Although the ground-water discharge into the Santa Ana River from Chino basin is quite different in chemical composition from the discharge from Temescal basin, there is no known way to quantitatively separate the total discharge with respect to source. In the water-budget method direct runoff and evapotranspiration were reevaluated, and the ground-water outflow from Temescal basin was calculated by the same direct method employed for Chino basin. Annual ground-water outflow from Temescal basin calculated by the direct method for the period 1930-66 ranged from 11,000 acre-feet in the 1940 and 1945 water years to 3,000 acre-feet in the 1965 water year. Annual ground-water outflow from Chino basin computed by the water-budget method for the period 1933-63 ranged from 45,000 acre-feet in the 1941 water year to 10,000 acre-feet in the 1963 water year.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1999G","usgsCitation":"French, J.J., 1972, Ground-water outflow from Chino Basin, Upper Santa Ana Valley, southern California: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1999, Report: iv, 28 p.; 1 Plate: 37.00 x 20.00 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1999G.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 28 p.; 1 Plate: 37.00 x 20.00 inches","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":414721,"rank":4,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_25354.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":26484,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1999g/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":26483,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1999g/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":137352,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1999g/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","otherGeospatial":"Chino basin, Upper Santa Ana Valley","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -117.75,\n 34.033\n ],\n [\n -117.75,\n 33.816\n ],\n [\n -117.417,\n 33.816\n ],\n [\n -117.417,\n 34.033\n ],\n [\n -117.75,\n 34.033\n ]\n ]\n ],\n \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e48cee4b07f02db5455d7","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"French, James J.","contributorId":103651,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"French","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143668,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70010073,"text":"70010073 - 1972 - New data on selected Ivory Coast tektites","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2020-12-23T21:02:52.26664","indexId":"70010073","displayToPublicDate":"1972-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1972","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1759,"text":"Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"New data on selected Ivory Coast tektites","docAbstract":"Fourteen Ivory Coast tektites exhibit a range of bulk indices of refraction of 1.5156 to 1.5217 ± 0.0004 and of bulk specific gravities of 2.428 to 2.502 ±0.005. Seven of these Ivory Coast (IVC) tektites were analyzed for major and minor element content. Compared to tektites from other strewn fields, their SiO2 content is low (67.2–69.1 %), A12O3 relatively high (15.8–16.8 %), and total iron relatively high but with a more restricted range (6.3–6.8 % as FeO).

Many isolated grains of a reddish pleonaste-type spinel occur in fines and metabreccia samples, particularly 14 319. Electron microprobe analyses (104) of spinels and their associated phases include 58 of pleonaste which show Mg/(Mg + Fe) 0.44–0.62 and Cr/(Cr + Al) 0.017–0.134 (atomic), plus minor amounts of other ions, and differ greatly from almost all previously recorded lunar spinels; almost no spinels of intermediate composition were found. Two types of compositional zoning exist: a diffuse primary one with cores lower in Ti, and a narrow secondary one from reaction with matrix yielding rims higher in Cr, Ti, and Mn. At contacts with breccia matrix there is a narrow corona of almost pure plagioclase (An80-An94), free of opaque minerals and pyroxene. Two types of solid inclusions found in the pleonaste are calcic plagioclase, and tiny spherical masses of nickel-rich sulfide.
Similar pleonaste occurs in crystalline rock clasts, mainly with plagioclase; one clast (A) consists only of coarse olivine, plagioclase, and pleonaste, with granulated grain boundaries suggestive of deformation. From composition and texture, this clast is one possible candidate for the mafic cumulate counterpart of the “anorthositic” crust. Another clast (B), also made solely of olivine, plagioclase and pleonaste, is itself a breccia. These data suggest a two-stage brecciation process: 1) disruption (probably pre-Imbrian) of a deep-seated pleonaste-bearing source rock like A and reconsolidation to form a breccia without addition of pyroxene, ilmenite or other minerals; and 2) disruption of this breccia to yield breccia clast B which was then incorporated into the Fra Mauro formation.
A sleeve-type auger for sampling in stony soils is described.

For near-surface measurements, overcoring of the borehole-deformation gage is the most convenient and rapid means of obtaining reliable values for the magnitude and direction of the state of stress in rocks in situ. The magnitudes and directions of the principal stresses are compared to the geologic features of the different areas of measurement. The in situ stresses are consistent in orientation with the stress direction inferred from the earthquake focal-plane solutions and existing joint patterns but inconsistent with stress directions likely to have produced the Rangely anticline.
