Unfortunately, final catalogs of earthquakes such as Hileman and others (1973), Hill and others (1975a), and Friedman and others (1976)...
Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
H.D. Buckner
1978, Open-File Report 77-800
The total drainage area of Mountain Creek, Texas, is 304 sq mi. The stream-gaging stations on Mountain Creek near Cedar Hill and Walnut Creek near Mansfield provide hydrologic data to define runoff characteristics from small drainage basins. They also serve as index stations for inflow into the reservoir and provide...

Computer model of two-dimensional solute transport and dispersion in ground water
Leonard F. Konikow, J.D. Bredehoeft
1978, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 07-C2
This report presents a model that simulates solute transport in flowing ground water. The model is both general and flexible in that it can be applied to a wide range of problem types. It is applicable to one- or two-dimensional problems involving steady-state or transient flow. The model computes changes...

Water-quality indices for specific water uses
J.D. Stoner
1978, Circular 770
Water-quality indices were developed to assess waters for two specific uses--public water supply and irrigation. The assessment for a spcific water use is based on the availability f (of (1) a set of limits for each water quality property selected, (2) a rationale for selection, and (3) information that permits...
