High-flow frequencies for selected streams in Oklahoma
Thomas L. Huntzinger
1978, Open-File Report 78-161
Streamflow records are analyzed statistically to determine high-flow characteristics of selected streams in Oklahoma. Tables are included which show the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year high-flow frequencies for durations of 1, 3, 7, 30, 90, and 365 days. The log-Pearson Type III frequency distribution was used in the...
Geohydrologic data from twenty-four test holes drilled in the Piceance Basin, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, 1975-76
Frank A. Welder, George J. Saulnier
1978, Open-File Report 78-734
Twenty-four test holes were drilled in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado, to obtain geohydrologic data from the Uinta and Green River Formations of Eocene age. Depths of test holes ranged from 640 to 2,800 feet. The maximum quantity of water discharged during the air drilling of individual test holes ranged...

1978, Open-File Report 78-511
The International Consortium was organized, under the leadership of E. C. T. Chao, to conduct a systematic interdisciplinary study of four lunar rock samples (77135, 77115, 77075 and 77215) collected by the Apollo 17 astronauts as representative of the four lithologies they recognized in the boulder at station 7. Tables...

Isotopic and chemical data from carbonate cements in surface rocks over and near four Oklahoma oil fields
Mitchell E. Henry, Terrence J. Donovan
1978, Open-File Report 78-927
Carbonate cements in outcropping sandstones overlying the Doyle, Fox-Graham, Velma, and part of Wheeler oil fields, Oklahoma, were analyzed for their C13/ 12, 018/016, iron, and manganese compositions. The peculiar areal distribution of the values obtained is interpreted to be the direct result of hydrocarbon microseepage....

Methods of estimating recharge to the Floridan aquifer in northeast Florida
G. G. Phelps
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-109
Recharge to the principal artesian aquifer in a six-county area in northeast Florida was calculated using closed contour methods , water budgets, and formulas for computing leakage through confining beds. Each estimate was tested in a computer model of groundwater flow to see which estimate was best. Calculations of flow...
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...
Summary of the water resources of Puerto Rico

Geochemical sampling of a tier of eight 7 1/2-minute quadrangles bordered by latitudes 32° 45'and 33° 00' N. and longitudes 108° 00' and 108° 30' W. was begun in the fall of 1974 and continued seasonally until completion in the fall of 1976. These quadrangles are in southwest New Mexico...
Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada
Freddy E. Arteaga, Timothy J. Durbin
1978, Open-File Report 79-261
Eagle Valley is a topographic and ground-water basin in the west-central area of Nevada. The demand for water in the valley is approaching the limits of the locally available resource, which is the water yield of 9,000 acre-feet per year from the adjacent mountain areas.The steady-state pumping rate from the...

Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques
Leonard Gaydos
1978, Open-File Report 78-186
Computer-aided techniques for interpreting multispectral data acquired by Landsat offer economies in the mapping of land cover. Even so, the actual establishment of the statistical classes, or "signatures," is one of the relatively more costly operations involved. Analysts have therefore been seeking cost-saving signature extension techniques that would accept training...
