1979, Open-File Report 79-387
The Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program of the U.S. Geological Survey expanded threefold during fiscal year 1978. The program funded nearly 300 projects in the areas of earthquake hazards, earthquake prediction, induced seismicity, and global seismology. Brief summaries of each project are presented in this report, along with highlights of the...
Water-level predictions for Indian Wells Valley ground-water basin, California, 1978
Michael J. Mallory
1979, Open-File Report 79-254
Ground-water pumpage in Indian Wells Valley, virtually a closed basin in the Mojave Desert of southern California, has increased gradually since 1945 and presently exceeds the long-term mean annual recharge (perennial supply). In order to aid in the understanding and management of the ground-water basin, a digital ground-water model was...

Relation between proposed developments of water resources and seepage from the All-American Canal, eastern Imperial Valley, California
Omar J. Loeltz, S. A. Leake
1979, Open-File Report 79-744
A two-layer digital model designed for this study indicated that sealing of the Coachella branch of the All-American Canal would cause an eventual increase in seepage from the All-American Canal of about 15,000 acre-feet annually. Sealing of both the Coachella Canal and the segment of the All-American Canal between Pilot...

William F. Lichtler, David I. Stannard, Edwin Kouma
1979, Open-File Report 79-1492
This report presents the results of the first 2 years of a 4-year investigation of potential for artificial recharge and recharge methods that might be used to mitigate excessive aquifer depletion in Nebraska.A Quaternary sand-and-gravel aquifer near Aurora, Nebr., was recharged by injecting water through a well at a rate...
Preliminary analysis of clay gouge from a well in the San Andreas fault zone in central California
Richard Liechti, Mark D. Zoback
1979, Open-File Report 79-861
Drilling into the San Andreas fault zone has begun in central California as part of the U.S.G.S. program of fault zone studies. The purpose of drilling into the fault zone is threefold. First, it will allow recovery of material from depth in order to determine the composition of both solid...
Directory to Federal, State, and local OCS-related activities and contacts
Mitre Corporation
1979, Open-File Report 79-1481
This directory identifies specific Federal, state, and local agencies involved with oil and gas activities on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Current agency responsibilities and the mechanisms used for interacting with OCS activities are outlined in three groupings: (a) an overview of major Federal activities (Chapter 2) and the mechanisms...
Ground-water-quality data from the northern Powder River Basin, southeastern Montana
Roger W. Lee
1979, Open-File Report 79-1331
Water-quality data collected during 1973-77 for hydrologic studies in the northern Powder River basin of southeastern Montana provide a data base for shallow ground water. The 665 water samples collected were analyzed for major cations and anions. Of the samples, 516 were from wells and 149 were from springs. About...
Techniques used for the cleaning, concentration, and observation of chrysomonad cysts from sediments
Albert D. Mahood, David P. Adam
1979, Open-File Report 79-1431
This report documents the techniques that we use to clean and concentrate chrysomonad cysts prior to examining them under a scanning electron microscope. Like diatoms, chrysomonad cysts are composed of opaline silica; the method we use is basically the same as one of the methods commonly used to prepare diatoms....

Chemical, physical, and radiological quality of selected public water supplies in Florida, November 1977-February 1978
G. A. Irwin, Robert W. Hull
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-50
Virtually all treated public water supplies sampled in Florida meet the National Interim Primary and Proposed Secondary Drinking Water Regulations. These findings are based on a water-quality reconnaissance of 129 treated public supplies throughout the State during the period November 1977 through February 1978. While primary drinking water regulation exceedences...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1308
Four days were spent collecting 20 audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) soundings in the area of the Ennis Hot Springs, Mont. (fig. 1). These soundings were made to assist in a regional evaluation of the geothermal potential of the Ennis Hot Springs area.Scalar resistivities from the data log (table 1) are indicative of...
