James A. Peterson
1978, Open-File Report 78-783
To evaluate the Madison Limestone and associated rocks as potential sources for water supplies in the Powder River Basin and adjacent areas, an understanding of the geologic framework of these units, their lithologic facies patterns, the distribution of porosity zones, and the relation between porosity development and stratigraphic facies is...
The Coffee Sand and Ripley aquifers in Mississippi
E. H. Boswell
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-114
The Coffee Sand and Ripley aquifers, of Cretaceous age, are in the Selma Group in northern Mississippi. The aquifers contain freshwater in an area of about 4,400 square miles in northern Mississippi. Water produced from the aquifers by public water systems and numerous industries in 1975 averaged about 4 Mgal/d....

Stormwater-runoff data for a highway area, Broward County, Florida
Jack Hardee, Robert A. Miller, Harold C. Mattraw Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-612
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for both rainfall and runoff are summarized for a highway area near Pompano Beach, Florida. Loads for 20 water-quality constituents were computed for the runoff from 41 storms between April 1975, and July 1977. The basin of 58.3 acres contains a 3,000 ft segment...

Selected water-quality data from the Merced River, California, November 1976 through August 1977
Ray J. Hoffman
1978, Open-File Report 78-735
The Merced River originates on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and flows through Yosemite National Park. The river drains 1,276 square miles before joining the San Joaquin River near Stevinson, Calif. Data were collected to permit descriptions of the river's quality during a hydrologic cycle, the natural and...
A water-quality assessment of the Muddy Fork Silver Creek watershed, Clark, Floyd, and Washington counties, Indiana
Mark A. Hardy
1978, Open-File Report 78-202
Data collected for a wide range of flow conditions from September 8, 1975, to July 13, 1976, reveal that human and animal waste loading of streams and pesticide use in the watershed are probably the most significant water-quality problems. Generally, the type(s) of water in tributary streams in the south...
A progress report on estuary modeling by the finite-element method
William G. Gray
1978, Open-File Report 78-479
Various schemes are investigated for finite-element modeling of two-dimensional surface-water flows. The first schemes investigated combine finite-element spatial discretization with split-step time stepping schemes that have been found useful in finite-difference computations. Because of the large number of numerical integrations performed in space and the large sparse matrices solved, these...

Hydrogeologic data for the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site, St. Petersburg, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-853
Lithologic, hydraulic, geophysical, and water-quality data were collected at the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site at St. Petersburg, FL. The data were collected to determine the feasibility of subsurface injection of storm runoff. An exploratory hole and five observation wells were constructed between October 1974 and April 1976. The lithology...
Distribution of organic carbon and petroleum source rock potential of Cretaceous and lower Tertiary carbonates, south Florida basin: Preliminary results
James George Palacas
1978, Open-File Report 78-140
Analyses of 134 core samples from the South Florida Basin show that the carbonates of Comanchean age are relatively richer in average organic carbon (0.41 percent) than those of Coahuilan age (0.28 percent), Gulfian age (0.18 percent) and Paleocene age (0.20 percent). They are also nearly twice as rich as...
Ground-water availability in the Hayes-Red Willow, Frenchman, and Meeker-Driftwood irrigation districts, southwest Nebraska
E.G. Lappala, P.F. Hemphill, R.E. Booker
1978, Open-File Report 78-461
Surface-water supplies are diminishing in the Hitchcock-Red Willow and Frenchman Valley Irrigation Districts in southwest Nebraska. Stream depletions due to ground-water withdrawals upstream from Enders Reservoir (northwest of the study area) have resulted in a shortage of about 8,700 acre-feet per year. The availability of ground water to supply part...
Hydrogeology of the observation well site at the United States Geological Survey National Center, Reston, Virginia
J. D. Larson
1978, Open-File Report 78-144
The U. S. Geological Survey's National Center is on a 105-acre tract straddling rocks of two distinct types. These are pelitic schists of late Precambrian and early Paleozoic age; and sandstone, shale, siltstone, and conglomerate of Triassic age. Within the Triassic part is a diabase dike and an associated contact...
