An annotated bibliography of devices developed for direct measurement of seepage
Mark R. Carr, Thomas C. Winter
1980, Open-File Report 80-344
The need for information on the interrelationship of groundwater and surface water is causing a growing interest in methods used for direct measurement of seepage to and from surface-water bodies. Instruments developed for measurement of seepage date from about the mid 1940 's largely in response to the need for...

Mount St. Helens ash fall in the Bull Run watershed, Oregon, May-June 1980
Michael V. Shulters, Daphne G. Clifton
1980, Open-File Report 80-593
On May 25-26, May 30-June 2, and June 12-13, 1980, strong, high-altitude winds from the north occurred during periods of volcanic-ash eruption at Mount St. Helens in southwestern Washington. As a result, ash fell in the Bull Run watershed, Oregon, some 50 miles to the south, the principal water-supply source...

Clyde E. Simmons
1980, Open-File Report 80-425
During 1976-79 data were collected at three sites on the Black River, near Dunn, North Carolina, to define water-quality and other hydrologic conditions prior to channel excavation. Samples collected over a range in flow from 1.2 to 900 cubic feet per second contained 1 to 81 mg/L (milligrams per liter)...

Geochemistry of fluoride in the Black Creek aquifer system of Horry and Georgetown Counties, South Carolina — And its physiological implications
Allen L. Zack
1980, Water Supply Paper 2067
High concentrations of fluoride in ground-water supplies in certain areas of Horry and Georgetown Counties, S.C., have been the cause of dental fluorosis (tooth mottling) among persons who have lived in these areas and have ingested the water as children. Geochemical evidence and laboratory experiments demonstrate that fluorapatite in the...
