1981, Open-File Report 81-418
The Sacramento Valley area includes about 8002 miles in northwestern Arizona and is bounded on the west by the Black and Buck Mountains and on the east by the Cerbat and Hualapai Mountains. The Black Mountains consist mainly of volcanic rocks; the Buck, Cerbat, and Hualapai Mountains consist of igneous,...

Chemical character of ground water in the shallow water-table aquifer at selected localities in the Memphis area, Tennessee
William Scott Parks, D. D. Graham, J.F. Lowery
1981, Open-File Report 81-223
Eight deep wells are being monitored in the Memphis, Tenn., area to detect any changes in the chemical character of water moving through the Memphis Sand towards major pumping centers. These wells are strategically located so as to intercept groundwater enroute through the Memphis Sand from the outcrop-recharge area. Although...

Effects of a cattle feedlot on ground-water quality in the South Platte River Valley near Greeley, Colorado
Ronald G. Borman
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-83
Changes in water quality in an alluvial aquifer resulting from the operation of a feedlot stocked with 90,000 cattle have been minimal. Monitoring water quality in 19 observation wells from April 1974, prior to the operation of the feedlot, to June 1978, after about 4 years of operation, indicates that...
Effects of irrigation pumping on the ground-water system in Newton and Jasper Counties, Indiana
Marcel P. Bergeron
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-38
Flow in the ground-water system in Newton and Jasper Counties, Indiana, was simulated in a quasi-three-dimensional model in a study of irrigation use of ground water in the two counties. The ground-water system consists of three aquifers: (1) a surficial coarse sand aquifer known as the Kankakee aquifer, (2) a...
Metamorphic mineral assemblages of slightly calcic pelitic rocks in and around the Taconic Allochthon, southwestern Massachusetts and adjacent Connecticut and New York
E-an Zen
1981, Professional Paper 1113
The mineral assemblages from metamorphosed slightly calcic pelitic rocks of the Taconic Range in southwestern Massachusetts and adjacent areas of Connecticut and New York were studied petrographically and chemically. These rocks vary in metamorphic grade from those below the chloritoid zone through the chloritoid and garnet zones into the kyanite-staurolite...

Flow routing in the Susquehanna River Basin: Part IV - Routing reservoir releases in the eastern Susqehanna river basin in New York State
Thomas J. Zembrzuski Jr.
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-117
Flow-routing models for six reaches of major streams in the eastern Susquehanna River basin in New York were developed and used to trace releases of water from East Sidney Lake and Whitney Point Lake to gaged points downstream. Daily streamflow during 1942-77 was modeled for the following reaches: Susquehanna River--Unadilla...
Data on ground-water quality with emphasis on radionuclides, Sarasota County, Florida
Horace Sutcliffe, R. L. Miller
1981, Open-File Report 80-1223
A compilation of analytical results are presented for selected radiochemical and chemical characteristics for 200 groundwater samples collected from 92 wells in Sarasota County, Fla. Radium-226 analysis was made on 160 of the water samples and 80 samples equaled or exceeded the 5 picocuries per liter maximum contaminant level established...

Considerations for monitoring water quality of the Schenectady aquifer, Schenectady County, New York
R. V. Allen, Roger Milton Waller
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-103
Six public water-supply systems in Schenectady County, N.Y., obtain water from sand and gravel units that form a more or less continuous aquifer system contiguous to the Mohawk River. The aquifer is under water-table conditions and in hydraulic contact with the river, so that pumping wells induces recharge from the...
Chemical composition of sedimentary rocks in California and Hawaii
Thelma P. Hill (compiler)
1981, Professional Paper 1097
A compilation of published chemical analyses of sedimentary rocks of the United States was undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1952 to make available scattered data that are needed for a wide range of economic and scientific uses. About 20,000-25,000 chemical analyses of sedimentary rocks in the United States...
Results of hydrologic tests and water-chemistry analyses, wells H-4A, H-4B, and H-4C, at the proposed waste isolation pilot plant site, southeastern New Mexico
Jerry W. Mercer, Paul Davis, K.F. Dennehy, C. L. Goetz
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-36
Data were collected during hydrologic testing at wells H-4A, H-4B, and H-4C in the southern 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...
Water-resources information for the Withlacoochee River region, west-central Florida
Robert A. Miller, Warren Anderson, Anthony S. Navoy, James L. Smoot, Roger G. Belles
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-11
Daily water use in the Withlacoochee River region in 1977 averaged about 2,005 million gallons per day, 94 percent of which was saline surface water used in thermoelectric power-generation cooling. Industrial and irrigation uses required 73 percent of the freshwater. The largest user of freshwater was Hernando County, using 43.0...

1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-42
Smectite clay minerals were found to be the principal compound on the surface of the cellulose-acetate, reverse-osmosis membranes at the Yuma Desalting Test Facility. These clay minerals were not present in the pumped ground water, but were blown into the conveyance canal from adjacent soils. Humic substances from the water...
