Hydrology of coal-resource areas in the southern Wasatch Plateau, central Utah
T. W. Danielson, D.A. Sylla
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4009
The study defines the surface and groundwater hydrology of coal-resources areas in the Southern Wasatch Plateau in Central Utah and, where possible, predicts the hydrologic impacts of underground mining. Discharge data at four streamflow gaging stations indicated that from 5 to 29% of the average annual precipitation on a drainage...
Specification for procurement of water-level sensing instrumentation, specification number HIF-I-1
D.H. Rapp
1982, Open-File Report 82-89
This specification is to communicate to instrument manufacturers the U.S. Geological Survey 's requirements. It covers systems for sensing the elevation of the water surface on open channels, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, storm-sewer pipes, and observation wells at Survey data-collection sites. The signal output (mechanical or electrical) must meet the signal...
A model for the simulation of flow of variable-density ground water in three dimensions under steady-state conditions
Emanuel Weiss
1982, Open-File Report 82-352
A computer program has been developed as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's national program of Regional Aquifer System Analysis (RASA) that generates input to ground-water flow models to enable them to simulate variable-density ground-water flow. Information required for the program's operation is: aquifer elevation, thickness, and ground-water density. Included...

Surface displacement on the Imperial and Superstition Hills faults triggered by the Westmorland, California, earthquake of 26 April 1981
R. V. Sharp, J. J. Lienkaemper, M. J. Rymer
1982, Open-File Report 82-282
Parts of the Imperial and the Superstition Hills faults moved right-laterally at the ground surface at the time of or shortly following the ML 5.6 Westmorland earthquake of 26 April 1981. The displacements occurred prior to any significant aftershocks on either fault and thus are classed as sympathetic. Although the...

Reconnaissance of ground-water quality, eastern Snake River basin, Idaho
D. J. Parliman
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4004
Water-quality, geologic, and hydrologic data were collected for 165 wells in the eastern Snake River basin, Idaho. Water-quality characteristics analyzed include specific conductance, pH, water temperature, major dissolved cations and anions, and coliform bacteria. Ground water from aquifers in all rock units is generally composed of calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate...

Availability of water from aquifers in upstate New York
Irwin H. Kantrowitz, Deborah S. Snavely
1982, Open-File Report 82-437
Two maps give the locations and estimated yields of unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers of upstate New York, excluding Long Island. The map of surficial deposits give estimates of well yield, aquifer yield, and specific capacity; the map of bedrock units gives the same information and also delineates areas in which...

Leaching characteristics of ash from the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens Volcano, Washington
David Burl Smith, Robert A. Zielinski, Howard E. Taylor
1982, Open-File Report 82-987
Leaching of freshly erupted air-fall ash, unaffected by rain, from the May 18, 1.980,eruption of Mount St. Helens volcano, Washington, shows that Ca 2+, Na+, Mg+, SO4 2-, and Cl- are the predominant chemical species released on first exposure of the ash to water. Extremely high correlation of Ca with...

Results of hydrologic tests and water-chemistry analyses, wells H-5A, H-5B, and H-5C, at the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site, southeastern New Mexico
Kevin F. Dennehy, Jerry W. Mercer
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-19
Data were collected during hydrologic testing at wells H-5A, H-5B, and H-5C in the northeastern part of the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in southeastern New Mexico. The three water-bearing zones tested, the Magenta and Culebra Dolomite Members of the Rustler Formation and the Rustler Formation-Salado Formation contact, yield...

The general quality of the ground water in the Sacramento Valley , Calif., in terms of dissolved-solids concentration is considered good for irrigation, domestic, and most other uses. This map shows the distribution of dissolved-solids concentrations and is based on about 1,330 chemical analyses collected from about 900 wells between...
