1983, Open-File Report 83-390
In February 1978 a seismic deep-refraction profile was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey along a 1000-km line across the Arabian Shield in western Saudi Arabia. The line begins in Mesozoic cover rocks near Riyadh on the Arabian Platform, leads southwesterly across three major Precambrian tectonic provinces, traverses Cenozoic rocks...
Eruptive history of the Dieng Mountains region, central Java, and potential hazards from future eruptions
C. Dan Miller, R. Sushyar, Santoso, S. Hamidi
1983, Open-File Report 83-68
The Dieng Mountains region consists of a complex of late Quaternary to recent volcanic stratocones, parasitic vents, and explosion craters. Six age groups of volcanic centers, eruptive products, and explosion craters are recognized in the region based on their morphology, degree of dissection, stratigraphic relationships, and degree of weathering. These...

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Common shiner
Joan G. Trial, Charles S. Wade, Jon G. Stanley, Patrick C. Nelson
1983, FWS/OBS 82/10.40
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop riverine and lacustrine habitat models for common shiner (Notropis cornutus). The models are scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1 (optimally suitable habitat) for the northeastern range of the common shiner in...

J. R. Stark, T. R. Cummings, F. R. Twenter
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4002
A sand and gravel aquifer of glacial origin underlies Wurtsmith Air Force Base in northeastern lower Michigan. The aquifer overlies a thick clay layer at an average depth of 65 feet. The water table is about 10 feet below land surface in the western part of the Base and about...
Floods of April 1983 in southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana
Darrell D. Carlson, Gary D. Firda
1983, Open-File Report 83-685
Extreme flooding occurred in April 1983 in southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana. The floods resulted from a near-stationary cold front, which moved slowly across Louisiana and Mississippi. Flood heights and discharges of many streams exceeded previously known maximums of record, and for many the recurrence interval of peak discharge exceeded...
Water resources of the Tulalip Indian Reservation, Washington
B. W. Drost
1983, Open-File Report 82-648
Water will play a significant role in the future development of the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Ground-water resources are sufficient to supply several times the 1978 population. Potential problems associated with increased ground-water development are saltwater encroachment in the coastal areas and septic-tank contamination of shallow aquifers. There are sufficient good-quality...
Operation of hydrologic data collection stations by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1983
Alberto Condes de la Torre
1983, Open-File Report 83-862
The U.S. Geological Survey operated hydrologic data collection stations during 1983 in response to the needs of all levels of Government for hydrologic information. Surface-water discharge was determined at 11,076 stations; stage data on streams, reservoirs, and lakes were recorded at 2,136 stations; and surface-water quality was determined at 4,610...

Streamflow losses and changes in ground-water levels along the Salt and Gila Rivers near Phoenix, Arizona — February 1978 to June 1980
L. J. Mann, P. B. Rohne
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4043
From March 1978 to June 1980, high runoff from the Salt and Verde drainage basins combined with large carryover storage in a reservoir system led to the release of about 8.26 million acre-feet of water. About 2.89 million acre-feet of the water was diverted above Granite Reef Dam, and about...
