Results and interpretation of geophysical studies near the Picacho Fault, south-central Arizona
Leroy W. Pankratz, Hans D. Ackermann, Robert C. Jachens
1978, Open-File Report 78-1106
Earth fissuring attributed to ground-water withdrawal occurs throughout south-central Arizona. A large zone of active fissures is located near Picacho, Arizona on the eastern rim of a large subsidence bowl. The main fissure has been named the Picacho fault. During February and March 1977, approximately 6.5 km of seismic-refraction lines...
Availability and quality of water from shallow aquifers in Duval County, Florida
Lawson V. Causey, G. G. Phelps
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-92
The shallow-aquifer system in Duval County, Fla., overlies the Florida aquifer and is composed chiefly of sand, clay, sandy clay, and limestone. Thickness of the system ranges from about 300 to 600 feet. The upper 150 feet of deposits, consisting of the water-table and shallow-rock zones, are the most dependable...
Preliminary appraisal of the geohydrologic aspects of drainage wells, Orlando area, central Florida
Joel O. Kimrey
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-37
The Floridan aquifer contains two highly transmissive cavernous zones in the Orlando area: an upper producing zone about 150-600 feet below land surface; and a lower producing zone about 1,100-1,500 feet below land surface. Natural head differences are downward and there is hydraulic connection between the two producing zones. Drainage...
Principal facts for a gravity survey of the Fly Ranch Extension Known Geothermal Resource Area, Pershing County, Nevada
Donald L. Peterson, Harold E. Kaufmann
1978, Open-File Report 78-107-C
During July 1977, forty-four gravity stations were obtained in the Fly Ranch Extension Known-Geothermal Resource Area and vicinity, northwestern Nevada. Elevations for three stations were estimated from lake bed topographic contours. Horizontal and vertical positions for stations FREX33 through FREX43 were determined from plane-table surveying. Positions for the remaining stations...
Geologic map of the Aeolis Quadrangle of Mars
D. H. Scott, M.N. West
1978, IMAP 1111
Two principal physiographic provinces of Mars are represented in the Aeolis quadrangle: (1) Elysium Planitia in the north is part of a broad planet-encircling belt of relatively young lowland plains, and (2) cratered highlands in the south consist<span...
Evaluation and correlation of water-quality data for the North Fork Flathead River, northwestern Montana
J. R. Knapton
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-111
This report is a compilation and evaluation of water-quality measurements that have been made by the U.S. Geological Survey at two stations on the North Fork Flathead River in Montana. Historical streamflow records show an annual mean daily discharge of 3,010 cubic feet per second near the mouth--a threefold increase...

Digital-model simulation of the glacial-outwash aquifer, Otter Creek-Dry Creek basin, Cortland County, New York
O. J. Cosner, J. F. Harsh
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-71
The city of Cortland, New York, and surrounding areas obtain water from the highly productive glacial-outwash aquifer underlying the Otter Creek-Dry Creek basin. Pumpage from the aquifer in 1976 was approximately 6.3 million gallons per day and is expected to increase as a result of population growth and urbanization. A...
Hydrology of the Nevin Wetland near Madison, Wisconsin
R.P. Novitzki
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-48
The 120-acre Nevin wetland at the south edge of Madison, Wis., is a discharge area of the local ground-water system. A hydrologic unit composed of drift and the upper part of an underlying sandstone sequence provides ground-water inflow. Ground water enters as springflow and as leakage upward through the organic...
