Uranium values from ion-filter water sampling compared with values from bulk-water sampling
Robert Allen Cadigan, J. Karen Felmlee
1978, Open-File Report 78-472
Analytical values of uranium from well water sampled by means of ion-filters were compared with analytical values of the same water sampled by the standard bulk (1-liter) water-sampling technique (Brown, Skougstad and Fishman, 1970). A fluorometric extraction method of analysis was used on both sets of samples. Duplicate samples from...
Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada
Freddy E. Arteaga, Timothy J. Durbin
1978, Open-File Report 79-261
Eagle Valley is a topographic and ground-water basin in the west-central area of Nevada. The demand for water in the valley is approaching the limits of the locally available resource, which is the water yield of 9,000 acre-feet per year from the adjacent mountain areas.The steady-state pumping rate from the...

Reconnaissance evaluation of water resources for hydraulic coal mining, Grand Hogback coal field: Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado
William M. Alley, Linda J. Britton, Elaine L. Boyd
1978, Open-File Report 78-885
Surface-water and ground-water data were compiled for the parts of the Colorado River and the White River basins in and adjacent to the Grand Hogback coal field. The data were evaluated to assess the quantity and quality of water resources available in the area for use in hydraulic coal mining....

This report begins a publication format that will present annually both water-level and water-quality data. In this format the information is presented in two-page units: the left page includes text which summarizes the information for an area or subject and the right page consists of one or more illustrations. Daily...
Field determination of vertical permeability to air in the unsaturated zone
Edwin P. Weeks
1978, Professional Paper 1051
The vertical permeability to air of layered materials in the unsaturated zone may be determined from air pressure data obtained at depth during a period when air pressure is changing at land surface. Such data may be obtained by monitoring barometric pressure with a microbarograph or surveying altimeter and simultaneously...
Hydrogeology of the karst of Puerto Rico
Ennio V. Giusti
1978, Professional Paper 1012
About one-fifth of Puerto Rico is covered by a tropical karst formed on a series of six limestone formations ranging in age from middle-Oligocene to middle Miocene. These formations strike east to west and crop out over the north coast of the island. Structurally, the rocks form a simple wedge...

Historic ground failures in Northern California triggered by earthquakes
T. Leslie Youd, Seena N. Hoose
1978, Professional Paper 993
A major source of earthquake-related damage and casualties in northern California has been ground failures generated by the seismic shaking, including landslides, lateral spreads, ground settlement, and surface cracks. The historical record shows that, except for offshore shocks, the geographic area affected and the quantity and general severity of ground...

Placer gold deposits in the Mahd adh Dhahab district, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Abdulaziz Y. Bagdady, Jesse William Whitlow, Ralph Jackson Roberts
1978, Open-File Report 78-1074
Placer gold deposits in the Mahd adh Dhahab district were productive during ancient times, possibly during two periods, about 950 B.C. and 750— 1258 A.D. These deposits were mapped and systematically sampled in 1973 to determine their future potential. The sampling program was facilitated by use of a backhoe which...
Hydraulic geometry of river cross sections; theory of minimum variance
Garnett P. Williams
1978, Professional Paper 1029
This study deals with the rates at which mean velocity, mean depth, and water-surface width increase with water discharge at a cross section on an alluvial stream. Such relations often follow power laws, the exponents in which are called hydraulic exponents. The Langbein (1964) minimum-variance theory is examined in regard...
