Ground-water quality in Indian Wells Valley, California
James W. Warner
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-8
Indian Wells Valley is in a semiarid region of the Mojave Desert. The U.S. Naval Weapons Center at China Lake and nearby communities depend upon an adequate source of ground water for their existence. Much of the ground water is of poor quality. Most of the ground-water pumping occurs in...
Hydrology of the Lake Wingra basin, Dane County, Wisconsin
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...

Techniques for water demand analysis and forecasting: Puerto Rico, a case study
E. D. Attanasi, E.R. Close, M. A. Lopez
1975, Open-File Report 75-94
The rapid economic growth of the Commonwealth-of Puerto Rico since 1947 has brought public pressure on Government agencies for rapid development of public water supply and waste treatment facilities. Since 1945 the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority has had the responsibility for planning, developing and operating water supply and...
Assessment of geothermal resources of the United States, 1975
David L. Williams
Donald Edward White, editor(s)
1975, Circular 726
This assessment of geothermal resources of the United States consists of two major parts: (1) estimates of total heat in the ground to a depth of 10 km and (2) estimates of the part of this total heat that is recoverable with present technology, regardless of price. No attempt has...

ERTS imagery for ground-water investigations
Gerald K. Moore, Morris Deutsch
1975, Ground Water (13) 214-226
ERTS imagery offers the first opportunity to apply moderately high-resolution satellite data to the nationwide study of water resources. This imagery is both a tool and a form of basic data. Like other tools and basic data, it should be considered for use in ground-water investigations. The main advantage of...
College and university sources of remote sensing information
Timothy C. Bidwell
1975, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (41) 1273-1284
Research in remote-sensing applications has increased dramatically since the launch of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite-l (ERTS-l, renamed LANDSAT-I) and Skylab's Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP). It is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep abreast of university research publications related to remote sensing. To assist researchers in locating those universities...
The interior of the earth
Eugene C. Robertson
1975, Report
The center of the Earth lies nearly 4,000 miles beneath our feet. At present the nature of the Earth's interior is known only from indirect evidence collected from studies of rocks and minerals, seismic waves, heat flow from the interior, and the Earth's gravity and magnetic field and through comparisons...

Movement of spilled oil as predicted by estuarine nontidal drift
T. J. Conomos
1975, Limnology and Oceanography (20) 159-173
Information on water movement obtained from bimonthly releases of surface and seabed drifters in the San Francisco Bay and adjacent Pacific Ocean is used to understand major processes controlling dispersal of oil after a spill of 3,200 m3 of Bunker C in the bay in January 1971. River-induced nontidal estuarine...

1975, Professional Paper 853-1
The Pennsylvanian is the fourth geologic system to be analyzed and synthesized by geologists of the U.S. Geological Survey in the form of a paleotectonic study covering the conterminous United States. Earlier investigations were of the Jurassic, Triassic, and Permian Systems. Results were published as Miscellaneous Geologic Investigation Maps I-175,...

William A. Pitt, Harold C. Mattraw Jr., Howard Klein
1975, Open-File Report 75-607
During 1971-74, the U.S. Geological Survey investigated the chemical, physical, bacteriological, and virological characteristics of the ground water in five selected areas serviced by septic tanks in Dade County, Florida. Periodic water samples were collected from multiple-depth groups of monitor wells ranging in depth from 10 to 60 ft at...
Water and the South Florida environment
Howard Klein, J.T. Armbruster, B. F. McPherson, H.J. Freiberger
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-24
Ecological problems are a major concern to Florida as well as to the Nation. National attention was focused on these problems in September 1968, when the Port Authority of Dade County began to con-struct a jetport for supersonic aircraft on a 39-square-mile tract 6 miles north of Everglades National Park...
