Computer simulation of the steady-state flow system of the Tertiary limestone (Floridan) aquifer system in east-central Florida
C. H. Tibbals
1981, Open-File Report 81-681
The predevelopment steady-state ground-water flow system for 13 ,700 square miles of the Tertiary limestone aquifer system (known as the Florida aquifer in Florida) in east-central Florida is simulated by means of a digital computer model. The model results indicate that about 1,900 cubic feet per second recharges the aquifer...
Preparation of isoseismal maps and summaries of reported effects for pre-1900 California earthquakes
Tousson R. Toppozada, Charles R. Real, Stephen P. Bezore, David L. Parke
1981, Open-File Report 81-262
This is the second annual report of a three year project to clarify the earthquake history of California for the period before 1900. More than four thousand additional newspaper issues were searched for earthquake reports, bringing the total number of issues examined to more than eleven thousand. About one quarter...

Water-quality reconnaissance of Harding Creek, Lawrence County, Arkansas
James C. Petersen
1981, Open-File Report 81-1058
A study of Harding Creek conducted between April and October 1980 to assess the water quality of the creek indicates no serious water-quality problems. Eight water samples were collected during periods of low to moderate streamflow (less than 19 cubic feet per second). The water was hard to very hard...

Water-quality reconnaissance of Patton Lake, Jefferson County, Arkansas
James C. Petersen
1981, Open-File Report 81-806
Results of a study (summer of 1980) of pesticides, nutrients, and other water-quality characteristics of the water and bottom material of Patton Lake indicate that the lake is nutrient enriched and that several pesticides are present in the bottom material. The high pH (9.0 to 9.3) and large dissolved-oxygen concentrations...

Water-quality reconnaissance of the Larkin Creek watershed, Lee and St. Francis counties, Arkansas
James C. Petersen
1981, Open-File Report 81-819
A reconnaissance of the Larkin Creek watershed in Arkansas was made during April through September 1980 to assess the water quality of streams in the watershed. Streamflow was measured and water samples were collected three times during the study period. Samples of bottom material were collected in September. Concentrations of...
Bed form distribution and inferred sand transport on Georges Bank
David C. Twichell
1981, Open-File Report 81-764
Four bed-form provinces have been identified on Georges Bank using sidescan sonar and echo-sounding techniques: large sand waves, small sand waves, megaripples, and featureless sea floor. The large sand waves are found on the bank crest where the surface tidal currents are strongest, and are bordered, north and south, by...

A stochastic streamflow model of the Platte River at Overton, Odessa, and Grand Island, Nebraska
A.V. Vecchia Jr.
1981, Open-File Report 81-1188
A stochastic model is developed to simulate flows for three seasons (September through February, March and April, May through August) at Overton, Odessa, and Grand Island, Nebraska on the Platte River. The model preserves the first and second order moment properties of the historical flow series, including significant autocorrelations within...
Flood peaks and discharge summaries in the Delaware River basin
Arthur A. Vickers, Harry A. Farsett, J. Wayne Green
1981, Open-File Report 81-912
Streamflow data from 299 continuous and crest-stage sites in the Delaware River basin are summarized in this report. The location, drainage area, period of record, type of gage, and average discharge for each gaging site are given. Also included are tables of annual peaks and peaks above base, annual and...
Reconnaissance of the Hot Springs Mountains and adjacent areas, Churchill County, Nevada
Nickolas E. Voegtly
1981, Open-File Report 81-134
A geologic reconnaissance of the Hot Springs Mountains and adjacent areas, which include parts of the Brady-Hazen and the Stillwater-Soda Lake Known Geothermal Resource Areas, during June-December 1975, resulted in a reinterpretation of the nature and location of some Basin and Range faults. In addition, the late Cenozoic stratigraphy has...
Hydrogeologic conditions in the coastal plain of New Jersey
Eric F. Vowinkel, W. Kendall Foster
1981, Open-File Report 81-405
A wedge-shaped mass of unconsolidated sediments composed of alternating layers of clay, silt, sand, and gravel underlies the Coastal Plain of New Jersey. The hydrologic units of this mass vary in thickness, lateral extent, lithology, and water-bearing characteristics. Some of the units act as aquifers, whereas other units act as...

The results of water-quality samples collected from April 1978 through April 1980 from three canal stations, four marsh stations, and two ground-water stations within the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida, are tabulated in 37 tables. The major categories of parameters analyzed are field measurements, physical characteristics, macronutrients (carbon, nitrogen, and...
Decentralized shared computers in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program
Peter L. Ward, James Herriot, William F. Jolitz
1981, Open-File Report 81-104
The needs for computer analysis in the National Earthquake Program are varied, complex, and rapidly growing. Major sources of frustration have been the difficulty of keeping up with the required analysis, and the difficulties of sharing a wide variety of data and computer programs among several hundred researchers at dozens...
