Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Great Lakes region
William G. Weist Jr.
1978, Professional Paper 813-J
The Great Lakes Regions, as a whole, has abundant supplies of water. Nearly 805,000 billion cubic feet of water is contained in the Great Lakes. An additional 35,000 billion cubic feet of potable ground water is available from storage in the region. Estimated ground-water discharge to the streams and lakes...
Backwater at bridges and densely wooded flood plains, Bogue Chitto near Summit, Mississippi
B.E. Colson, C. O. Ming, George J. Arcement
1978, Hydrologic Atlas 592
New techniques for predicting water-surface profiles, needed in the design of economical, structurally sound, and environmentally compatible stream crossings, are under investigation.  The investigation has accelerated with the advent of digital computers capable of analyzing large quatities of data.  Among the techniques is the development of two-dimensional (2-D) digital models....
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....
Reconnaissance evaluation of water resources for hydraulic coal mining, Crested Butte coal field, Gunnison County, Colorado
William M. Alley, Linda J. Britton, Elaine L. Boyd
1978, Open-File Report 78-938
Available surface-water and ground-water data were compiled for the parts of the Gunnison River basin in and adjacent to the Crested Butte coal field. The data were evaluated to assess the quantity and quality of water resources in the area for use in hydraulic coal mining.Based on discharge records, surface-water...
Development of a technique for the rapid estimation of earthquake losses
Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, M.B. McGrath, S.L. Hanson
1978, Open-File Report 78-440
A simple, general technique has been outlined for the rapid, approximate estimation of building losses resulting from ground shaking during earthquakes. The technique has been applied to the San Francisco Bay area. Ground shaking, ground failures of various kinds, surface faulting, tsunamis, and earthquake induced fires are all responsible for...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Hawaii region
K. J. Takasaki
1978, Professional Paper 813-M
The water resources of the Hawaii Region, taken as a whole, are far greater than foreseeable future demands on them, but this is not so for the individual islands. Each and every island is independent with respect to water supply, and the occurrence and availability of water vary widely from...
Summary of the water resources of Puerto Rico
H.J. McCoy
1978, Open-File Report 78-971
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) is the lead agency in the Federal Interagency Study of the Economy of Puerto Rico. At the request of DOC the U.S. Geological Survey is providing a discussion of the water resources of the island for inclusion in the study's section on macroeconomic assessment.Two...
Progress report on Black Mesa monitoring program; 1977
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1978, Open-File Report 78-459
Monitoring activities of coal mine operations on Black Mesa were started in 1971 for the purpose of monitoring the effects of strip mining on the water resources of the area. Black Mesa is located in northeastern Arizona near the center of the Navajo Indian Reservation and is a prominent topographic...
A statistical summary and listing of the spectrographic analyses of heavy mineral concentrate and conventional, sieved stream-sediment samples, Silver City area, New Mexico
K. C. Watts, J.R. Hassemer, D. F. Siems, J. M. Nishi
1978, Open-File Report 78-801
Geochemical sampling of a tier of eight 7 1/2-minute quadrangles bordered by latitudes 32° 45'and 33° 00' N. and longitudes 108° 00' and 108° 30' W. was begun in the fall of 1974 and continued seasonally until completion in the fall of 1976. These quadrangles are in southwest New Mexico...
High resolution seismic profiles, side scan sonar records, and sampling locations from lower Cook Inlet and Kodiak Shelf, R/V SEA SOUNDER cruise S7-77-WG, September - October, 1977
Arnold H. Bouma, Monty A. Hampton
1978, Open-File Report 78-727
During the period from September 14 through October 10, 1977 the second U.S. Geological Survey geo-environmental cruise was conducted in lower Cook Inlet and on the Kodiak shelf and adjacent upper continental slope, Gulf of Alaska, aboard the R/V SEA SOUNDER (Figure 1, Tables 1, 2 and 3). The objective...
Users guide for distributed routing rainfall-runoff model
D.R. Dawdy, John C. Schaake Jr., William M. Alley
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-90
A computer program of a watershed model for routing urban flood discharges through a branched system of pipes or natural channels using rainfall as input has been developed and documented. The model combines soil-moisture-accounting and rainfall-excess components developed by Dawdy and others (1972) with the kinematic-wave routing method presented by...
Analyses of water, core material, and elutriate samples collected near Yazoo City, Mississippi (Yazoo Headwater Project)
Harold L. Leone, Alton J. Dupuy
1978, Open-File Report 78-792
Five core-material-sampling sites were chosen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to represent areas of proposed dredging activity. Four receiving-water sites also were selected to represent the water that will contact the proposed dredged material. Chemical and physical analyses were performed upon core material and native-water samples from these...
