Water level measurements in 52 shallow boreholes in the San Francisco Bay region
Edward F. Roth
1978, Open-File Report 78-935
Water-level measurements have been read in 52 cased boreholes in the San Francisco bay region. These measurements are compared to water-table depths determined by P-wave velocity. A velocity in excess of 1200 m/s is taken as the depth of the upper surface of the water table. This method works best...
Subsurface geology and porosity distribution, Madison Limestone and underlying formations, Powder River basin, northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana and adjacent areas
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...
Evaluation of hydrogeologic aspects of proposed salinity control in Paradox Valley, Colorado
Leonard F. Konikow, M. S. Bedinger
1978, Open-File Report 78-27
The salt load in the Dolores River increases by about 200,000 tons per year where it crosses Paradox Valley, Colorado, because of the discharge of a sodium chloride brine from an underlying aquifer. A ground-water management program to nearly eliminate this major source of salt, which eventually enters the Colorado...
Principal facts for borehole gravity stations in stratigraphic test well ERDA No. 9, Eddy County, New Mexico
Bruce A. Kososki, Stephen L. Robbins, James W. Schmoker
1978, Open-File Report 78-696
Since 1972 the U.S. Geological Survey has been conducting a series of field evaluation studies in southeastern New Mexico for the Waste Management Division of the Department of Energy (formerly U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration). On the basis of these studies, a tentative site for a nuclear waste repository/disposal...
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....
Sonobuoy refraction data near Kodiak, Alaska
Mark L. Holmes, Charles A. Meeder, Kenneth Clark Creager
1978, Open-File Report 78-368
A total of 88 unreversed sonobuoy refraction lines were shot over the continental shelf and slope near Kodiak, Alaska, in 1976 and 1977. Useful results were obtained from 59 of these attempts. The field measurements were carried out aboard the USGS research vessel SAMUEL P. LEE. The refraction lines were...
Geology of the Arco-Big Southern Butte area, eastern Snake River Plain, and potential volcanic hazards to the radioactive waste management complex, and other waste storage and reactor facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho
Mel A. Kuntz, John O. Kork
1978, Open-File Report 78-691
The Arco-Big Southern Butte area of the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho, includes a volcanic rift zone and more than 70 Holocene and late Quaternary basalt volcanoes. The Arco volcanic rift zone extends southeast for 50 km from Arco to about 10 km southeast of Big Southern Butte. The rift...
Water-quality indices for specific water uses
J.D. Stoner
1978, Circular 770
Water-quality indices were developed to assess waters for two specific uses--public water supply and irrigation. The assessment for a spcific water use is based on the availability f (of (1) a set of limits for each water quality property selected, (2) a rationale for selection, and (3) information that permits...
Floods in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, September 12-13, 1977
Leland D. Hauth, William J. Carswell Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-63
The storm of September 12-13, 1977, produced as much as 16 inches of rainfall in the Kansas City, Missouri-Kansas area, left 25 persons dead, many homeless, and caused over 50 million dollars in damages.Data from National Weather Service recording rain gages indicate the storm came in two bursts within 24...
