Map showing foundation conditions in the Fairbanks D-2 SE Quadrangle, Alaska
Troy L. Pewe, John W. Bell
1975, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 669-D
In the Fairbanks area, the effects of development on the geologic environment must be considered in determining proper land use. Persons concerned with the land, especially land planners, developers, public officials, engineers, architects, financial advisors, and educators, must be aware of recognizable geologic features that may prove hazardous; only then...

Ralph C. Heath
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-9
Extensive agricultural land clearing and drainage operations underway in a 650 square mile part of the Albemarle-Pamlico region--a 1,634 square mile peninsula in North Carolina lying between Albemarle Sound on the North and the Pamlico River on the south--are changing the hydrology of the area. The artificial drainage system being constructed...

Alfred S. Lowe
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-44
Flood damage resulting from development in flood plains in East Baton Rouge Parish, La., and adjacent areas has caused economic losses, making governmental officials and planners aware of the need for flood maps. Based on information in private and official files, flood maps have been prepared for 7 1/2-minute topographic...
A predictive computer model of the Lower Cretaceous aquifer, Franklin area, southeastern Virginia
O. J. Cosner
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 51-74
The Lower Cretaceous aquifer of Southeastern Virginia is simulated in this study. The aquifer is only a few feet thick along the Fall Line, where it is near or at the surface, but it thickens and dips to the east. At Franklin where the top of the aquifer is 220...
Perspective on use of fresh water for cooling systems of thermoelectric powerplants in Florida
G.H. Hughes
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-43
Cooling ponds, evaporative cooling towers, and once-through cooling systems of thermoelectric powerplants consume appreciable quantities of water. In Florida a cooling pond for a 1,000 megawatt nuclear power-plant operating at full load in sulluner consumes about 12.5 million gallons of water per day (0.55 cubic metres per second). A cooling...
Bibliography of United States Geological Survey reports on the geology and water resources of Texas, 1887-1974
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-20
Water-resources investigations in Texas consist of the collection of basic records through the hydrologic-data network, interpretive studies, and research projects. An office was established in Austin, Texas, in 1915 for surface-water studies, for ground-water studies in 1929, and water-quality studies in 1937. Previous investigations of the water resources of Texas...

Problems related to water quality and algal control in Lopez Reservoir, San Luis Obispo County, California
Richard H. Fuller, Robert C. Averett, Walter G. Hines
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-47
Lopez Reservoir is a multipurpose impoundment that was filled during a 30-week period following a series of intense storms during the winter 1968-69. The reservoir is used for flood control, water supply, and recreation, including swimming, fishing, and boating. At full pool Lopez Reservoir has a surface area of 974...
The potentiometric surface and water quality of the Floridan aquifer; in southwest Hillsborough County, Florida, 1952-74
A. Dan Duerr
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-50
Large ground-water withdrawals and a 10-year period of below-normal rainfall have caused the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer to decline more than 10 feet (3 metres) in most of a 200-square-mile (520-square-kilometre) area of southwest Hillsborough County (fig. 1). The lowered ground-water levels and the consequent threat of salt-water...

Digital model simulation of the glacial-outwash aquifer at Dayton, Ohio
Richard E. Fidler
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-18
Dayton, Ohio and its environs obtain most of their water from wells which penetrate highly productive glacial-outwash deposits underlying the Great Miami River and its tributaries and receive recharge by induced streambed leakage. Combined municipal and industrial use of ground water in the 90-square-mile area has increased from about 180...
Dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate of surface-water runoff in the Suwannee River Water Management District, Florida
J.E. Earle
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-15
This atlas consists of three maps that show the general distribution of dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate in the streams and lakes within the Suwannee River Water Management District. The atlas was prepared in cooperation with the Water Management District to provide pertinent water-quality information relating to the objectives of...
Simulated drawdown for selected well fields in the Ohio River alluvial aquifer
Hayes F. Grubb
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-2
Drawdown due to pumping was simulated for three sites in the alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Ohio River by digital modeling techniques. Two well-field arrangements were used at each site. The initial well-field arrangement at each site consisted of three wells located in a line parallel to the Ohio River....

Digital models of a glacial outwash aquifer in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area, west-central Minnesota
S. P. Larson, Mark S. McBride, R. J. Wolf
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-40
-p^e need for study of lake-ground-water interchange has been accentuated by eutrophication of lakes in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area of west-central Minnesota. The local ground-water flow system is dominated by an outwash aquifer that is sandwiched between two till layers in the western part of the area and exposed at...
Land-surface subsidence at Seabrook, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch, C.W. Bonnet
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-31
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties, Texas, has caused a decline in fluid pressures, which is turn had resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Seabrook is due principally to the removal of water. Significnt subsidence...

Stuart Wesley Fader
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-27
Collapse of the overlying strata into voids caused by dissolution of salt is the apparent cause of progressive land subsidence at the sites of several oil wells that were drilled through the salt beds of the Wellington Formation in Kansas. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if data...
