Limnological data from selected lakes in the San Francisco Bay region, California
Linda J. Britton, Rodger F. Ferreira, Robert C. Averett
1974, Open-File Report 3019-27
Limnological data were compiled on 21 lakes in the San Francisco Bay area. The data were obtained from regulating agencies and from recent surveys made by the U.S. Geological Survey. The history of each lake and of its respective regulating agency is presented, along with methods used for data collection...
Evaluation of hydraulic characteristics of a deep artesian aquifer from natural water-level fluctuations, Miami, Florida
Frederick W. Meyer
1974, Florida Bureau of Geology Report of Investigations 75
Knowledge of tho hydraulic characteristics of aquifer systems is fundamental to defining the vertical and horizontal controls on fluid movement, information which is needed for assessing the environmental impact of subsurface waste storage. To meet this objective, natural water-level fluctuations in the 2,947-foot deep Peninsula Utilities disposal well near Miami,...

Crest-stage gaging stations in Oregon: a compilation of peak data collected from October 1952 to September 1974
John Friday
1974, Report
A crest-stage gaging station provides an excellent means for determining peak water-surface elevations at a selected location on a stream channel. When related to streamflow, these data provide hydrologists with a knowledge of the flood experience of a drainage basin. If an adequate flood history is known, it is possible...
Digital-model study of ground-water hydrology, Columbia Basin Irrigation Project Area, Washington
H.H. Tanaka, A. J. Hansen Jr., J.A. Skrivan
1974, Water Supply Bulletin 40
Since 1952 water diverted from the Columbia River at Grand Coulee Dam has been used to irrigate parts of the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project area in eastern Washington, and as a result ground-water levels generally have risen in the area. The rapid increases in ground-water inflow, outflow, and storage from...
The availability of water in the Little Lost River Basin, Idaho
Alfred Clebsch Jr., H.A. Waite, S.O. Decker
1974, Water Information Bulletin 37
The Little Lost River basin, an elongated, northwest trending structurally formed intermontane valley, drains an area of about 900 square miles into a closed depression near the northwestern edge of the Snake River Plain. Runoff from snowmelt and rainfall on the Lost River Range on the west and the Lemhi...
A progress report on results of test drilling and ground-water investigations of the Snake Plain aquifer, southeastern Idaho: Part 3: Lake Walcott-Bonanza Lake area
E. G. Crosthwaite
1974, Water Information Bulletin 38
Direct-current resistivity soundings and exploratory drilling suggest that the basalt of the Snake River Group is relatively thin in the area along the Snake River that is topographically suitable for pumping large quantities of ground water in exchange for surface water. The formations underlying the Snake River Group appear to...

Analyses and economic potential of monazite in Liberia
Sam Rosenblum
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 689-692
Eleven monazite samples from Liberia, including seven from beach sands, were analyzed by the X-ray fluorescence method. The monazite samples, containing only one-half percent impurities, were obtained by use of a hot Clerici-solution procedure for purification which was devised by the author. The percentage of the rare-earth elements in Liberian...

Quality of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Shreveport, to the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana
A. H. Ludwig
1974, Report
Chemical analyses of water samples from 296 wells in the Red River alluvial aquifer indicate that the ground water in the valley is generally hard (more than 120 milligrams per liter) and has a high iron concentration (greater than 6,000 micrograms per liter). The predominant ions found in the water...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Wah Wah Valley drainage basin, Millard and Beaver Counties, Utah
Jerry C. Stephens
1974, Technical Publication 47
The Wah Wah Valley drainage basin is an area of about 600 square miles (1,550 km2) in Millard and Beaver Counties in southwestern Utah. Surface-water supplies of the area are negligible--total runoff averages about 7,800 acre-feet (9.62 hm3) annually, all streams are ephemeral or intermittent, and surface storage is negligible....
Geology and mineral deposits of Churchill County, Nevada
Ronald Willden, Robert C. Speed
1974, NBMG Bulletin 83
Churchill County, in west-central Nevada, is an area of varied topography and geology that has had a rather small total mineral production. The western part of the county is dominated by the broad low valley of the Carson Sink, which is underlain by deposits of Lake Lahontan. The bordering mountain...

To assess the area’s hydrocarbon potential, regional geologic and geophysical studies are being conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the structural framework of the United States Atlantic outer continental shelf (AOCS) north of Cape Hatteras. Preliminary interpretations of geophysical data suggest that the buried ridge under the eastern...

1974, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 19
The 557 square miles of the lower Housatonic River basin in western Connecticut include the basins of two major tributaries, the Pomperaug and Naugatuck Rivers. Nearly all water is derived from precipitation, which averaged 47 inches per year during 1931-60, In this period an additional 570 billion gallons of water...
