Simulated changes in ground-water levels and streamflow resulting from future development (1970 to 2020) in the Platte River basin, Nebraska
E.G. Lappala, P. A. Emery, F.J. Otradovsky
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-26
Future changes in ground-water levels and streamflow caused by a limited set of water-resources development conditions were simulated with digital models of stream-aquifer systems within the Platte River Basin, Nebraska. Simulated water-resources use in the basin included private development of ground water for irrigation, Federal development of surface-water systems for...
Water quality of selected streams in the coal area of east-central Montana
P. W. McKinley
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-142
In October 1975 the U.S. Geological Survey established a network of nine data-collection stations on eight streams in Montana to monitor water quality in potential coal-mining areas. The report summarizes and evaluates the water-quality data that have been collected during the first 2 years (3 years for 1 station) of...

Flood characteristics of Alaskan streams
R. D. Lamke
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-129
Peak discharge data for Alaskan streams are summarized and analyzed. Multiple-regression equations relating peak discharge magnitude and frequency to climatic and physical characteristics of 260 gaged basins were determined in order to estimate average recurrence interval of floods at ungaged sites. These equations are for 1.25-, 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-,...

Distribution of nitrate and related nitrogen species in the unsaturated zone, Redlands and vicinity, San Bernardino County, California
John M. Klein, Wesley L. Bradford
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-60
Nitrogen in the unsaturated soil zone in the vicinity of Redlands in San Bernardino County, Calif., has been suspected as the source of nitrate in water from wells. Plans have been made to recharge the aquifer with imported surface water. If this occurs, the rising water table will intercept soluble...
Hydrogeologic features of the alluvial deposits in the Greybull River valley, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming
M. E. Cooley, W. J. Head
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-6
The alluvial aquifer along the Greybull River in Wyoming, consists principally of the Greybull terrace doposits and flood-plain alluvium but also includes Burlington terrace deposits east of Burlington, the McKinnie terrace, and the younger, generally undissected alluvial-fan deposits. Well-log data and 18 surface-resistivity measurements at four localities indicate that the...
Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at sewage-treatment plants and industrial plants
B. K. Holmstrom
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-31
Low-flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams at 397 sewage-treatment plants and 143 industrial plants in 30 river basins are presented in this report. The low-flow characteristics are the annual minimum 7-day mean flow below which the flow will fall on the average of once in 2 years (Q7,2) and the annual...

Variation of alluvial-channel width with discharge and character of sediment
W. R. Osterkamp
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-15
Use of channel measurements to estimate discharge characteristics of alluvial streams has shown that little agreement exists for the exponent of the width-discharge relation. For the equation Q = aWAb, where Q is mean discharge and WA is active-channel width, it is proposed that the exponent, b, should be of...
Basin-margin depositional environments of the Fort Union and Wasatch Formations in the Buffalo-Lake De Smet area, Johnson County, Wyoming
Stanley L. Obernyer
1979, Open-File Report 79-712
The Paleocene Fort Union and Eocene Wasatch Formations along the east flank of the Bighorn Mountains in the Buffalo-Lake De Smet area, Wyoming, consist of continental alluvial fan, braided stream, and poorly drained alluvial plain deposits. The Fort Union conformably overlies the Cretaceous Lance Formation, which is marine in its...
Water budget and hydraulic aspects of artificial recharge, south coast of Puerto Rico
J. E. Heisel, Jose Raul Gonzalez
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-58
An analog model was used to evaluate ground-water conditions on the south coast of Puerto Rico. Water levels during a normal period and during an extended drought were simulated. Recharge and discharge values are reported. The model was also used to evaluate the possibilities of using treated waste water to...

Two oil types on the North Slope of Alaska: implications for future exploration
Leslie B. Magoon, George Edwin Claypool
1979, Open-File Report 79-1649
Forty oil samples from across the North Slope of Alaska have been analyzed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and the U.S. Geological Survey. Results of these analyses suggest two separate genetic oil types. The first type, the Simpson-Umiat oil type, occurs in reservoir rocks of Cretaceous and Quaternary age...

Reconnaissance geology of the Wadi Shuqub Quadrangle, sheet 20/41 A, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Robert C. Greene, Louis Gonzalez
1979, Open-File Report 79-1353
The Wadi Shuqub quadrangle (sheet 20/41 A) lies in the high mountainous part of the Hijaz plateau in west-central Saudi Arabia. The quadrangle is underlain chiefly by Precambrian layered metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks that are intruded by plutons ranging in composition from gabbroic to granitic. The metasedimentary rocks include quartzite,...
