Chemical quality of ground water in the Tehama-Colusa Canal service area, Sacramento Valley, California
Gilbert L. Bertoldi
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-92
The Tehama-Colusa Canal Service Area consists of about 450 square miles of irrigable land located on the west side of the Sacramento Valley, Calif. Upon the completion of the Tehama-Colusa Canal, it is expected that most of the service area will switch from passive forms of agriculture (dry farming and...
Limnological survey of Sacony Creek Basin, Berks County, Pennsylvania
James L. Barker, Kenneth P. Kulp
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-84
Samples of water, fish and benthic macroinvertabrates collected at 10 sampling stations over a 10-month period indicate that Sacony Creek and its major tributaries contain water of good to excellent quality. The waters were found to be free of excessive quantities of dissolved nutrients, oxidizable matter, and fecal coliform bacteria. (p>Fish...
Geohydrology of the Albin and La Grange areas, aoutheastern Wyoming
W. B. Borchert
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-118
The Albin and La Grange areas in southeastern Wyoming are two adjoining different hydrologic areas. Since ground water is the only source of water for irrigation in the Albin area, 34 irrigation wells have been drilled since 1968 and developed in conjunction mostly with center-pivot sprinkler systems that in 1974...
Availability and chemical characteristics of ground water in central La Plata County, Colorado
R. E. Brogden, T.F. Giles
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-69
The central part of La Plata County, Colo., has undergone rapid population growth in recent years. This growth has resulted in an increased demand for information for additional domestic, industrial, and municipal water supplies. A knowledge of the occurrence of ground water will permit a more efficient allocation of the...

L.D. Carswell, J.G. Rooney
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-75
Ground water in Passaic County occurs in intergranular openings of unconsolidated stratified deposits of Quaternary age and in joints and fractures in consolidated rocks of Precambrian, Paleozoic, and Triassic age.The Brunswick Formation of Triassic age is the most important aquifer in the southeastern one-third of Passaic County. Reported yields of public supply and...

Effects of off-road vehicle use on the hydrology and landscape of arid environments in central and southern California
Charles T. Snyder, D. G. Frickel, R. F. Hadley, R.F. Miller
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-99
Two widely separated sites in California used for motorcycle hill-climbing were studied to evaluate the impact on the landscape and hydrology. At Panoche Hills in central California, an area formerly used by motorcycles together with an adjacent unused area were monitored from 1971 to 1975. Observations in both areas included...

The Guatemalan earthquake of February 4, 1976, a preliminary report
A. F. Espinosa, editor(s)
1976, Professional Paper 1002
The Guatemalan earthquake of February 4, 1976, with a surface-wave magnitude of 7.5, was generated by left-lateral slippage on the Motagua fault and was felt over an area of at least 100,000 km2. This earthquake claimed more than 22,700 lives and injured more than 76,000 people. The preliminary estimate of...
Water use in Mississippi, 1975
J.A. Callahan
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-125
Water use in Mississippi in 1975 amounted to 3,050 mgd (million gallons per day). The total represents pumpage of 1,130 mgd from ground-water sources and 1,920 mgd from surface-water sources. Included in the surface water pumpage are 540 mgd of brackish water from Back Bay of Biloxi. Public Supplies at...
Ground water in the San Juan metropolitan area, Puerto Rico
H. R. Anderson
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-41
Ground water in the San Juan, Puerto Rico, area has played a declining role in water supply since the completion of the Lofza reservoir project in the early 1950's. Ground-water potential is limited because of the small size of the aquifers and susceptibility to seawater intrusion. Of the 30 million...
Variation in concentration of selected water-quality constituents in the Sacramento River at Bend Bridge, California
Linda J. Britton, R. C. Averett
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-14
During an intensive water-quality study of the Sacramento River at Bend Bridge, Calif., from September 4 to 7, 1973, differences in selected water-quality constituent concentrations were evaluated at three locations at a single site in the river for two 24-hour periods. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, selected major...
