Comparison of the radioactive and modified techniques for measurement of stream reaeration coefficients
R. E. Rathbun, R. Stephen Grant
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-68
The radioactive and modified tracer techniques were used to measure the reaeration coefficients of two reaches each of Black Earth Creek and the Madison Effluent Channel near Madison, Wis. Comparison of the results showed that coefficients measured with the modified technique ranged from -8.96 to +3.61 and from +15.7 to...
Uranium and phosphate resources in the Cooper Formation of the Charleston region, South Carolina
Eric R. Force, G. S. Gohn, L.M. Force, B.B. Higgins
1978, Open-File Report 78-586
Phosphate deposits formerly exploited in the Charleston district were formed by weathering and reworking of the Cooper Formation (Eocene and Oliogcene). Previous workers have shown that unusual concentrations of uranium occur in phosphate-rich nodular material formed during subareal weathering. We found that the old mining district is on an erosional...

Estimation of ground motion parameters
David M. Boore, W. B. Joyner, A.A. Oliver, R.A. Page
1978, Circular 795
Strong motion data from western North America for earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5 are examined to provide the basis for estimating peak acceleration, velocity, displacement, and duration as a function of distance for three magnitude classes. A subset of the data (from the San Fernando earthquake) is used to...

Analysis of urban storm-water quality for seven basins near Portland, Oregon
Timothy L. Miller, Stuart W. McKenzie
1978, Open-File Report 78-662
Over a 1.5-year period, water-quality data were collected for seven small drainage basins in urban aeas of Portland, Oreg. Analysis of the data followed three approaches. First, the constituent concentrations were analyzed. Average concentrations of suspended sediment, settleable solids, and fecal coliform bacteria generally exceeded levels expected for secondary waste-treatment...

A preliminary appraisal of the impact of agriculture on ground-water availability in southwest Georgia
L.D. Pollard, R.G. Grantham, H.E. Blanchard Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-7
Irrigated acreage in the study area in southwest Georgia increased from 130,000 acres in 1976 to 261,000 in 1977. Acreage irrigated entirely by ground water increased 85 percent for the same period. The largest quantity of ground water used for irrigation was in the Dougherty Plain district, where 92 percent...
