Chemical and biological quality of water in part of the Everglades, southeastern Florida
Bradley G. Waller, James E. Earle
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-56
A comprehensive monitoring network was established in a part of the Everglades to evaluate the quality of water being delivered to Everglades National Park. Physical, chemical, and biological parameters were determined in surface water, bottom sediment, and bulk precipitation (rainfall and dry fallout).The geology of the area, bottom sediment, bulk...

Edward L. Oakes, G. E. Hendrickson, E.E. Zuehls
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-17
A water budget was prepared to identify the components of the hydrologic system in the Lake Wingra basin. The Lake Wingra basin, which includes a small eutrophic lake within the city of Madison, Wis., is partly a protected area and partly an urbanized area. Measured and estimated inflow and outflow...
Erosion and sediment transport in the Owens River near Bishop, California
Rhea P. Williams
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-49
Closure of Pleasant Valley Dam in 1954 has almost eliminated the supply of gravel to the 16-mile (25.7-kilometre) study reach of the Owens River. Because of armoring of the channel, scour has been limited to approximately 1 foot (0.3 metre) in the upper 2.3 miles (3.7 kilometres).This report presents information...
Artificial recharge in the upper Santa Ana River area, San Bernardino County, California
Donald H. Schaefer, James W. Warner
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-15
The San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District began receiving its initial entitlement of 46,000 acre-feet (5.7 x 107 cubic metres) per year of imported northern California water in December 1972. By 1990, the district will be receiving 102,000 acre-feet (1.3 x 108 cubic metres) per year. Plans are to distribute...
Evaluation of recharge potential near Indio, California
Joe A. Moreland
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-33
The U.S. Geological Survey evaluated the feasibility of utilizing 8,000 acre-feet (9.9 cubic hectometres) of sewage effluent per year to recharge the ground water in a 25-square mile (65-square kilometre) area northwest of Indio, Calif. The depth to water in the area studied ranged from about 50 feet (15 metres)...
The Miocene aquifer system in Mississippi
Roy Newcome
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-46
A large amount of information is available on the aquifers of Mississippi. Reports resulting from various areal studies have described the ground-water resources of the areas concerned, but no reports dealing specifically with the statewide occurrence of individual aquifer systems have been prepared previously. A series of "aquifer atlases" was...
Simulation of dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand, Plantation Canal, Broward County, Florida with an evaluation of the QUAL-I model for use in south Florida
Thomas N. Russo, Raul S. McQuivey
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-59
A mathematical model; QUAL-I, developed by the Texas Water Development Board, was evaluated as a management tool in predicting the spatial and temporal distribution of dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand in Plantation Canal. Predictions based on the QUAL-I model, which was verified only against midday summer-flow conditions, showed that...
Occurrence of pesticide residues in four streams draining different land-use areas in Pennsylvania
John F. Truhlar, Lloyd A. Reed
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-6
Samples of water, bed material, fish, and soil were collected in four small drainage basins in Pennsylvania in 1969-71 and analyzed to determine the concentrations of chlorinated-hydrocarbon insecticides. Water samples only were also analyzed for phenoxy-acid herbicides. Each basin studied represents a predominant land-use classification—forested, general farming, residential, and orchard...
Geologic framework of the Alaskan Continental Terrace in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas
Arthur Grantz, Mark L. Holmes, B. A. Kososki
1975, Open-File Report 75-124
Seismic, magnetic and gravity data indicate that the Chukchi and Beaufort epicontinental seas off northern Alaska overlie three sedimentary basins, or provinces, separated by structural highs of regional extent. The basins trend west to northwest and become increasingly marine from south to north. The Chukchi-Beaufort continental margin is similar to...

Progress report on the water resources investigation of Martin County, Florida
James E. Earle
1975, Open-File Report 75-521
The base of the shallow aquifer ranges from 125 feet (38 m) below sea level in the northwest part of Martin County to about 280 feet (85.3 m) below sea level in the southeast part of the county. Test holes also indicate a thick, highly permeable zone in the east...
