Ground-water resources of the Riviera Beach area, Palm Beach County, Florida
L. F. Land
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-47
The principal source of freshwater that has been developed in the Riviera Beach area is the so-called shallow aquifer, which is composed of sand, shells, sandstone, limestone, marl, and occasionally clay strata. Often a stratum contains mixtures of two or more of these materials and occasionally they are cemented. The...

Hot springs of the central Sierra Nevada, California
Robert H. Mariner, T. S. Presser, William C. Evans
1977, Open-File Report 77-559
Thermal springs of the central Sierra Nevada issue dilute to slightly saline sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium mixed-anion waters ranging in pH from 6.4 to 9.3. The solubility of chalcedony appears to control the silica concentration in most of the spring waters. Fales Hot Springs may be associated with...
Chemical, isotopic, and gas compositions of selected thermal springs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah
Robert H. Mariner, T. S. Presser, William C. Evans
1977, Open-File Report 77-654
Twenty-seven thermal springs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah were sampled for detailed chemical and isotopic analysis. The springs issue sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium mixed-anion waters of near neutral (6.2) to alkaline (9.2) pH. High concentrations of fluoride, more than 8 milligrams per liter, occur in Arizona in...
Application of a rainfall-runoff model in estimating flood peaks for selected small natural drainage basins in Texas
B.C. Massey, Elmer E. Schroeder
1977, Open-File Report 77-792
A parametric rainfall-runoff simulation model was used to synthesize long-term records of annual peak discharges for small natural drainage basins in Texas. Optimum model-parameter values were determined for each of the 40 basins studied by using short-term rainfall, evaporation, and discharge data. The calibrated model was used in conjunction with...
Summary of the geology and physical properties of the Climax Stock, Nevada Test Site
Florian Maldonado
1977, Open-File Report 77-356
The Climax stock is a composite stock of Cretaceous age, composed of quartz monzonite and granodiorite, which intrudes sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic and Precambrian age. Tertiary rocks consisting of tuff, welded tuff, and breccia overlie the stock and sedimentary rocks. Hydrothermal alteration of the granodiorite and quartz monzonite is found mainly...
Water-level records for Adams, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Sedgwick, Washington, and Weld Counties, Colorado, 1973-77

1977, Open-File Report 77-461
Water levels measured during March 1977 in 350 wells tapping alluvial aquifers in Adams, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Sedgwick, Washington, and Weld Counties, Colo., are included in this report. Water-level records for the 4 preceding years also are included to serve as references illustrating declining or rising water levels.Water-level measurements made...
Computer simulation of two-dimensional unsteady flows in estuaries and embayments by the method of characteristics : Basic theory and the formulation of the numerical method
Chintu Lai
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-85
Two-dimensional unsteady flows of homogeneous density in estuaries and embayments can be described by hyperbolic, quasi-linear partial differential equations involving three dependent and three independent variables. A linear combination of these equations leads to a parametric equation of characteristic form, which consists of two parts: total differentiation along the bicharacteristics...

1977, Open-File Report 77-618
To gain information for a water-management situation, a seepage test was performed on May 12-13, 1977, on a reach of No Name Creek on the Colville Indian Reservation in north-central Washington. On May 13, injection of a concentrated brine at the head of the test reach permitted chloride-concentration data to...
