Timothy L. Miller
1978, Open-File Report 78-851
Urban storm-water-quality characteristics in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oreg., and Vancouver, Wash., were determined for eight drainage basins with varying drainage areas, basin slopes, impervious areas, and land uses. Automatic water-quality samplers, rain gages, and stream gages were installed in each basin. From September 1, 1975, to June 3,...

Description of data-collection system and synopsis of selected hydrologic data for Soldier Creek Basin, Kansas
William J. Carswell Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-678
Soldier Creek basin is a long, narrow basin encompassing an area of about 290 square miles almost directly north of Topeka, Kansas. A wide range of hydrologic data has been collected in the basin since the spring of 1964. These data include rainfall, stream discharge, sediment concentrations, chemical quality of...
Tsunami microprocessor tide system
Harold Clark, Gary L. Heckendorn
1978, Open-File Report 78-95
A Tsunami Microprocessor Tide System was developed to replace the Advanced Tsunami Tide System. The use of microprocessor based systems will reduce manpower and hardware costs from $4,000 per advanced system to $400 per microprocessor system. In addition to the cost reduction; the capacity, capability, and flexibility of the microprocessor...

Paul R. Carlson, Bruce F. Molnia
1978, Open-File Report 78-381
In April 1976, the U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Marine Geology conducted a geophysical and sediment sampling cruise in the northern Gulf of Alaska between Seward and Kayak Island (Fig. 1) to obtain data on seafloor hazards pertinent to the OCS oil and gas lease sales. Stormy weather interrupted the...
Water resources of No Name Valley, Colville Indian Reservation, Washington
Denzel R. Cline
1978, Open-File Report 78-122
No Name Creek valley is a trough cut in granitic bedrock in north-central Washington. A low topographic divide in the northern third of the valley separates it into the No Name Creek basin on the south and Omak Creek basin on the north. Omak Creek is the larger stream and...
Gas-driven pump for ground-water samples
Donald C. Signor
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-72
Observation wells installed for artificial-recharge research and other wells used in different ground-water programs are frequently cased with small-diameter steel pipe. To obtain samples from these small-diameter wells in order to monitor water quality, and to calibrate solute-transport models, a small-diameter pump with unique operating characteristics is required that causes...

Instrumentation for obtaining seismic anisotropy data from ocean bottom using moored sonobuoys
Alan C. Jones
1978, Open-File Report 79-854
Using observations by Raitt and Shor, Hess (1964) noted that there was a correlation of compressional wave velocity in the mantle with seismic profile direction, suggesting that seismic anisotropy existed over a broad area of the Pacific basin. This paper describes a system developed and used to look for the...

Leachate migration from a pesticide waste disposal site in Hardeman County, Tennessee
C.L. Sprinkle
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-128
Between 1964 and 1972, approximately 300,000 drums (55-gallon steel barrels) of waste derived from the manufacturing of pesticides were buried on 45 acres of land in northern Hardemen County, Tennessee. Leachates from these wastes are migrating from the disposal site in surface runoff, through shallow perched water zones, and through...

Robert Allen Cadigan, J. Karen Felmlee
1978, Open-File Report 78-472
Analytical values of uranium from well water sampled by means of ion-filters were compared with analytical values of the same water sampled by the standard bulk (1-liter) water-sampling technique (Brown, Skougstad and Fishman, 1970). A fluorometric extraction method of analysis was used on both sets of samples. Duplicate samples from...
Landsat 3 Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) imagery (EC 62 Landsat)

D. Y. Tai
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-123
Analytical procedures for the determination of acetone and methyl ethyl ketone in water samples were developed. Concentrations in the milligram-per-liter range were determined by injecting an aqueous sample into the analysis system through an injection port, trapping the organics on Tenax-GC at room temperature, and thermally desorbing the organics into...
