Investigation of Waikele well no. 2401-01, Oahu, Hawaii: Pumping test, well logs and water quality
P. R. Eyre
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4089
Field tests indicate that an abandoned well (No. 2401-01) near the confluence of Waikele and Kipapa Streams, Oahu, Hawaii, can be reactivated to produce potable water at a rate of 400-500 gallons per minute. Previous tests in 1946 and 1954 indicated that the well tapped the brackish transition zone which...
A simple Bouguer gravity anomaly map of southwestern Saudi Arabia and an initial interpretation
M. E. Gettings
1983, Open-File Report 83-789
Approximately 2,200 gravity stations on a 10-km2 grid were used to construct a simple Bouguer gravity anomaly map at 1:2,000,000 scale along a 150-km-wide by 850-km-long strip of the Arabian Peninsula from Sanam, southwest of Ar Riyad, through the Farasan Islands and including offshore islands, the coastal plain, and the...
Preliminary appraisal of the hydrology of the Rock Island area, Le Flore County, Oklahoma
M.V. Marcher
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4013
Bed rock in the Rock Island area of northeastern Le Flore County in southeastern Oklahoma consists of shale, siltstone, and sandstone of the McAlester, Hartshorne, and Atoka Formations of Pennsylvanian age. The area is on the south flank of the Backbone anticline; the rocks dip to the south at 5o-45o....
The effects of pumpage, irrigation return, and regional ground-water flow on the water quality at Waiawa water tunnel, Oahu, Hawaii
P. R. Eyre
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4097
Waiawa shaft is a 1,700-foot long water tunnel which draws water from the top of the Pearl Harbor Ghyben-Herzberg ground-water lens, Oahu, Hawaii. The application of brackish irrigation water to sugarcane fields overlying Waiawa shaft, combined with relatively low pumping rates at the shaft from 1978 to 1980, caused the...
Preliminary appraisal of the hydrology of the Stigler area, Haskell County, Oklahoma
M.V. Marcher, T.L. Huntzinger, J.D. Stoner, S. P. Blumer
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4099
Bed rock in the Stigler area of southeastern Oklahoma consists principally of shale, siltstone, and sandstone of the McAlester, Savanna, and Boggy Formations of Pennsylvanian age. These rocks have been folded to form the Stigler syncline on the north and the Antioch anticline on the south. An area of several...

Reconnaissance of benthic invertebrates from tributary streams of the Yampa and North Platte River basins, northwestern Colorado
L. J. Britton
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4191
Benthic invertebrates were collected from tributaries of the Yampa River in Routt and Moffat Counties, and tributaries of the North Platte River in Jackson County. Field water-quality measurements of water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and bed material size were also made to aid in assessing stream water-quality conditions....
Estimation of nonpoint sources of phosphorus for lakes in the Puget Sound region, Washington
Robert J. Gilliom
1983, Open-File Report 82-161
Control of eutrophication of lakes in watersheds undergoing development is facilitated by estimates of the amounts of phosphorus (P) that reach the lakes from areas under various types of land use. Using a mass-balance model, the writer calculated P loadings from present-day P concentrations measured in lake water and from...
