Pumpage data from about 2,100 wells used for public and nonpublic water-supply in Nassau County from 1920-77 have been collected and are available for public inspection at the U.S. Geological Survey office in Syosset, Nassau County. Except for wells in use before 1920, these data constitute the entire record available...
Geology of areas marked by geophysical anomalies (B-35 and B-34), Wadi Bidah District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1982, Open-File Report 82-668
Geophysical surveys in the Wadi Bidah district, in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have revealed anomalies of the type that may be caused by deposits of massive sulfides. Accordingly, a study was undertaken to investigate the geologic environment associated with the geophysical anomalies and to determine...
Analytical determinations from samples taken in the Ten Mile West Roadless Area, Boise and Elmore counties, Idaho
Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1982, Open-File Report 82-1099
A total of 584 stream-sediment and rock samples were collected from within or near the Ten Mile West Roadless Area, Boise and Elmore Counties, Idaho, as part of a geologic study aimed at appraising the mineral resource potential of the area. Emphasis was placed on stream-sediment samples because stream sediments...

Characterization of aquifers designated as potential drinking-water sources in Mississippi
L. A. Gandl
1982, Open-File Report 81-550
The Environmental Protection Agency has established that all ground water having a dissolved-solids concentration of less than 10,000 milligrams per liter is to be protected from injection of waste material. The Underground Injection Control program is intended to protect aquifers that are possible future sources of drinking water. Fourteen aquifers...

Water quality of the Barataria Unit; Jean Lafitte National Historical Park, Louisiana
Charles R. Garrison
1982, Open-File Report 82-691
Surface-water samples were collected on a monthly basis for the period April 1981-March 1982 from six sites within the Barataria Marsh Unit of the Jean Lafitte National Historic Park, Louisiana. The sites were located on Bayou Segnette, Kenta Canal , and Millaudon Canal. Biological, chemical, and physical analyses were performed....
Paleomagnetic evidence bearing on Tertiary tectonics of the Tihamat Asir coastal plain, southwestern Saudi Arabia
K.S. Kellogg, H. R. Blank
1982, Open-File Report 82-1047
Paleomagnetic directions determined for an upper Oligocene to lower Miocene dike swarm and from two lower Miocene layered gabbros in the Tihamat Asir coastal plain of southwestern Saudi Arabia are used to test several hypotheses concerning the tectonics of rifting along the eastern margin of the Red Sea. The dikes...
Projected effects of proposed salinity-control projects on shallow ground water; preliminary results for the upper Brazos River basin, Texas
Sergio Garza
1982, Open-File Report 82-908
As part of the plan to control the natural salt pollution in the upper Brazos River basin of Texas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recommended construction of three impoundment and retention reservoirs. In connection with the proposed reservoirs, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to define the existing ground-water...

Specific conductance and dissolved chloride concentrations of freshwater aquifers and streams in petroleum producing areas in Mississippi
S. J. Kalkhoff
1982, Open-File Report 82-353
Specific conductance and dissolved chloride reconnasissance sampling was conducted in six oil-producing areas of Mississippi during periods of low streamflow in 1980 and 1981. Water samples were collected at 224 ground-water and 190 suface-water sites. Samples from 55 surface-water and 17 ground-water sites contained dissolved chloride concentrations in excess of...
Quality of water in Luxapallia Creek at Columbus, Mississippi

1982, Open-File Report 82-373
A quality-of-water study was conducted on September 9-12, 1979, on Luxapallila Creek and its tributaries, Magby and McCrary Creeks. The short term study indicated that the water in Luxapallila, Magby, and McCrary Creeks is suitable for many purposes.The dissolved-oxygen concentration, temperature, and pH of the water in Luxapallila Creek changed...
Prediction of earthquake response spectra
W. B. Joyner, David M. Boore
1982, Open-File Report 82-977
We have developed empirical equations for predicting earthquake response spectra in terms of magnitude, distance, and site conditions, using a two-stage regression method similar to the one we used previously for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity. We analyzed horizontal pseudo-velocity response at 5 percent damping for 64 records of 12...

1982, Open-File Report 82-881
We have developed empirical predictive equations for the horizontal pseudo-velocity response at 5-percent damping for 12 different periods from 0.1 to 4.0 s. Using a multiple linear-regression method similar to the one we used previously for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity, we analyzed response spectra period by period for 64...

1982, Open-File Report 82-765
The mineralogy of matrix fines in alluvium from borehole Ullg, expl. 1, north of Frenchman Flat, Nevada Test Site, has been examined for evidence of past variations in water table elevation. Although greater abundance of zeolite and slightly more expanded basal spacings in smectite clays suggest effects of increased hydration...
