1980, Open-File Report 80-404
A required 1,100 gallons of water per minute for irrigating agricultural lands used by the Coast Indian Community on the Resighini Rancheria near Klamath, Califomia, cannot be developed from wells. However, the required quantity of water might be developed from a trench installed in sand and gravel deposits that are...
Interim report on the investigation of flooding in the Tug Fork basin of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia
Arthur G. Scott
1980, Open-File Report 80-1188
An analytical plan is presented for a study of the effects of land-use changes on the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak flows and on sediment characteristics of the Tug Fork in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. The plan includes compilation and analysis of available data, collection of new data on...

1980, Open-File Report 80-147
Starting in mid 1976 and continuing into 1977 a variety of geological studies were carried out by the U. S. Geological Survey on the southeastern U. S. Atlantic Continental Margin to assess conditions and hazards that might cause or distribute oil spills or other pollutants, or constrain petroleum exploration or...

Chemistry of zeolites and zeolitic tuffs from a Pliocene lacustrine deposit near Durkee, Baker County, Oregon
Richard A. Sheppard, Arthur J. Gude
1980, Open-File Report 80-1260
Zeolites in an unnamed Pliocene lacustrine and fluviatile deposit near Durkee were first mentioned by Eakle (1898). He described a new zeolite, erionite, from a small opal quarry in a "rhyolite" (welded ash-flow tuff) about 6 km southeast of Durkee. Eakle, unfortunately, provided only a vague description of the type...

1980, Open-File Report 80-1265
During 29 September to 19 October 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS ) collected 3,570 km of single-channel airgun, 3,487 km of minisparker, and 3,565 km of 3.5-kHz echo-sounder seismic-reflection profiles from the Research Vessel COLUMBUS ISELIN in the area of the northern Blake Plateau. These data were acquired in...

Water resources of the Walker River Indian Reservation, west-central Nevada
Donald H. Schaefer
1980, Open-File Report 80-427
Increasing interest in expanding the livestock and agricultural operations on the Walker River Indian Reservation, Nev., has prompted the Walker River Paiute Tribe to have the present and available water resources of the reservation appraised and proposed sites for new wells evaluated. Flow of the Walker River into the reservation...

A high-intensity summer rain estimated at 8 inches in 2 hours caused flooding on a small stream near Thornville, Ohio, destroying a culvert and highway fill on State Route 188. Computation of peak discharges of 3,250 feet3 per second at a site 4,400 feet above and of 4,050 feet3 per...

Suspended-sediment discharge in five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before, during, and after highway construction
Lloyd A. Reed
1980, Water Supply Paper 2072
Rainfall, streamflow, sediment, and turbidity data were collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on suspended-sediment discharges in streams. The study was also designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharge. Although highway construction increased suspended-sediment discharges from two...
Relationships between basic soils-engineering equations and basic ground-water flow equations
Donald G. Jorgensen
1980, Water Supply Paper 2064
The many varied though related terms developed by ground-water hydrologists and by soils engineers are useful to each discipline, but their differences in terminology hinder the use of related information in interdisciplinary studies. Equations for the Terzaghi theory of consolidation and equations for ground-water flow are identical under specific conditions....
Reconnaissance assessment of erosion and sedimentation in the Canada de los Alamos basin, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, California
J. M. Knott
1980, Water Supply Paper 2061
An assessment of present erosion and sedimentation conditions in the Ca?ada de los Alamos basin was made to aid in estimating the impact of off-road-vehicle use on the sediment yield of the basin. Impacts of off-road vehicles were evaluated by reconnaissance techniques and by comparing the study area with other...
