A continuous water sampling and multi-parameter measurement system for estuaries
Laurence E. Schemel, Lee A. Dedini
1979, Open-File Report 79-273
Salinity, temperature, light transmissivity, oxygen saturation, turbidity, pH, pCO2, and chlorophyll a fluorescence of a pumped water sample are continuously measured with a system designed primarily for estuarine studies. Near-surface water from a depth of 2 m is sampled continuously while the vessel is underway or water at depths to...

The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory;...
Water-resources data index for Osceola National Forest, Florida
Paul R. Seaber, Robert W. Hull
1979, Open-File Report 79-984
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted an intensive investigation from December 1975 to December 1977 of the geohydrology of Osceola National Forest. The primary purpose of that investigation was to provide the geohydrological understanding needed to predict the impact of potential phosphate industry operations in the forest on the natural hydrologic...
Annual peak discharges from small drainage areas in Montana through September 1978
R. J. Omang, C. Parrett, J. A. Hull
1979, Open-File Report 79-522
Annual peak stage and discharge data have been collected and tabulated for crest-stage gaging sites in Montana. The crest-stage program was begun in July 1955 to investigate the magnitude and frequency of floods from small drainage areas. The program has expanded from 45 crest-stage gaging stations initially to 173 stations...

Magnetometer traverse on Plum Island near Newburyport, Massachusetts
Robert W. Simpson, Wallace A. Bothner
1979, Open-File Report 79-435
Several large faults of regional tectonic significance circle around Boston and disappear offshore at Plum Island south of Newburyport, Massachusetts (Castle and others, 1976; Barosh and others, 1977). The traces of these faults are, in places, well defined by aeromagnetic anomalies (Harwood and Zietz, 1977), The purpose of this traverse...

Drinking-water quality and variations in water levels in the fractured crystalline-rock aquifer, west-central Jefferson County, Colorado
Dennis C. Hall, Carl J. Johnson
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-94
In parts of Jefferson County, CO, water for domestic use from the fractured crystalline-rock aquifer contained excessive concentrations of major ions, coliform bacteria, trace elements, or radiochemicals. Based on results of analyses from 26 wells, water from 21 of the wells contained excessive concentrations of one or more constituents. Drinking...
Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
G. L. Giese, Hugh B. Wilder, Garald G. Parker Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-46
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent intensively-farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, saltwater intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too-high or too-low...
