Ground-water availability in carbonate rocks of the Dandridge area, Jefferson County, Tennessee
E. F. Hollyday, P.L. Goddard
1979, Open-File Report 79-1263
Groundwater in Jefferson County, Tenn., occurs in solution openings that follow bedding planes and strike joints in the dense limestone and dolomite. Recharge beginning at topographic highs in the northwest moves across strike to lows in the southeast; it is intercepted and collected by high permeability beds in the middle...

Projected effects of intermittent changes in withdrawal of water from the Arikaree Aquifer near Wheatland, southeastern Wyoming
Dwight T. Hoxie
1979, Open-File Report 80-15
Effects on streamflows and ground-water levels attributable to a proposed intermittent change in use and sites of withdrawal of 3 ,146 acre-feet of water from the Arikaree aquifer in central Platte County, WY, are assessed with a previously developed ground-water flow model. This water has been permitted for agricultural use...
Results of transient simulations of a digital model of the Arikaree Aquifer near Wheatland, southeastern Wyoming

1979, Open-File Report 79-1280
Revised ground-water pumpage data have been imposed on a ground-water flow model previously developed for the Arikaree aquifer in a 400 square-mile area in central Platte County, Wyo. Maximum permitted annual ground-water withdrawals of 750 acre-feet for industrial use were combined with three irrigation-pumping scenarios to predict the long-term effects...
Calc-alkaline plutonism along the Pacific rim of southern Alaska
Travis Hudson
1979, Open-File Report 79-953
Field, petrology, and age data on southern Alaska plutonic rocks now enable the delineation of eight calc-alkaline plutonic belts. These belts of plutons or batholithic complexes are curvilinear to linear and trend parallel or subparallel to the continental margin. The belts represent the principal loci of emplacement for plutons of...
Effects of uranium development on erosion and associated sedimentation in southern San Juan Basin, New Mexico
Maurice E. Cooley
1979, Open-File Report 79-1496
A reconnaissance was made of some of the effects of uranium development on erosion and associated sedimentation in the southern San Juan Basin, where uranium development is concentrated. In general, the effects of exploration on erosion are minor, although erosion may be accelerated by the building of access roads, by...
Hydrogeologic features of the alluvial deposits in the Nowood River drainage area, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming
M. E. Cooley, William J. Head
1979, Open-File Report 79-1291
In the Nowood River drainage area, Wyoming, the principal deposits comprising the alluvial aquifer include the flood-plain and younger (generally undissected) alluvial-fan deposits and a unique boulder-fan gravel. Other deposits mapped, but virtually nonwater yielding, are the older (dissected) alluvial-fan, pediment, and terrace deposits. Terraces are capped by gravel and...

Summary of hydrologic data collected during 1977 in Dade County, Florida
John E. Hull
1979, Open-File Report 79-514
During 1977 rainfall was 1.52 inches above the long-term average in Dade County, Fla. Ground-water levels ranged from 0.3 foot above to 0.1 foot below average. The highest and lowest ground-water levels for the year were 1 foot below and 1 foot above their long-term average. In the Hialeah-Miami Springs...
Design of a network for monitoring ground-water quality in Minnesota
Marc F. Hult
1979, Open-File Report 79-1164
A network for monitoring the quality of water in the 13 principal aquifers in Minnesota has been designed and more than 400 wells and springs selected for sampling. The network organization includes four major elements; (1) point sampling, (2) point monitoring, (3) regional monitoring, and (4) site-specific monitoring. These elements...

Ground-water monitoring at Santa Barbara, California: Phase 1— Coastal monitor-well installation and initial measurements
C. B. Hutchinson
1979, Open-File Report 79-923
Plans to reduce natural ground-water storage in the 7-square-mile Santa Barbara groundwater basin have caused concern about possible saltwater intrusion into the coastal freshwater aquifer. To give advance warning of such intrusion, two multipiezometer wells were installed along the coast, about half a mile and 1 mile from the pumping...

A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification...

1979, Open-File Report 79-914
The geometry of the frame photograph whether taken from an aircraft or a satellite is well known and documented. Transforming photographs into maps is a relatively slow and expensive process which for many critical steps defies automation. A satellite offers the unique advantages of greater stability and uniform velocity over...

Mesozoic stratigraphy: the key to tectonic analysis of southern and central Alaska
David Lawrence Jones, Norman J. Silberling
1979, Open-File Report 79-1200
Southern and central Alaska constitutes an enormous tectonic mosaic composed of separate structural blocks and fragments that accreted to North America during Mesozoic and early Cenozoic time. Some of these blocks are far traveled, as shown by paleomagnetic and paleontologic studies. More than 25 discrete tectonostratigraphic terranes now are known,...
