Ground-water resources of Cambodia
William Charles Rasmussen, Gary M. Bradford
1977, Water Supply Paper 1608-P
Cambodia (now the Khmer Republic), in tropical, humid southeast Asia, has an area of 175,630 km and a population of about 5 million. The Mekong River, one of the world's largest rivers, flows through Cambodia. Also, the Tonle Sap (Grand Lac), a highly productive fresh-water lake, functions as a huge...
Ground-water levels in the United States, 1972-74, north-central states
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Water Supply Paper 2163
Publication of ground-water level data for the United States in water-supply papers was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, a single water-supply paper for each year covering the entire nation was issued (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886). Since then water-supply papers have...

Relation of bulk precipitation and evapotranspiration to water quality and water resources, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
Donald George Jordan, Donald W. Fisher
1977, Water Supply Paper 1663-I
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, lies in what can be considered a true maritime regime, being 600 miles (1000 kilometers) from the nearest continental landmass. The island is composed almost entirely of volcanic rocks mantled by a thin soil seldom more than 2 feet (60 centimeters) thick. Rainfall, averaging about 40...

The United States Geological Survey in Alaska: Accomplishments during 1976
Kathleen M. Blean, editor(s)
1977, Circular 751-B
United States Geological Survey projects in Alaska include a wide range of topics of economic and scientific interest. Studies in 1976 include economic geology, regional geology, stratigraphy, environmental geology, engineering geology, hydrology, and marine geology. Discussions of the findings or, in some instances, narratives of the course of the investigations...
A synoptic survey of trace metals in bottom sediments of the Willamette River, Oregon
David A. Rickert, V. C. Kennedy, S. W. McKenzie, W. G. Hines
1977, Circular 715-F
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...
Water consumption by nuclear powerplants and some hydrological implications
Ennio V. Giusti, E.L. Meyer
1977, Circular 745
Published data show that estimated water consumption varies with the cooling system adopted, being least in once-through cooling (about 18 cubic feet per second per 1,000 megawatts electrical) and greatest in closed cooling with mechanical draft towers (about 30 cubic feet per second per 1,000 megawatts electrical). When freshwater is...

Geological studies on the COST No. B-2 well, U. S. Mid-Atlantic outer continental shelf area
Peter A. Scholle
1977, Circular 750
The COST No. B-2 well is the first deep stratigraphic test to be drilled on the United States Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (AOCS) area. The well was drilled on the eastern flank of the Baltimore Canyon trough to a total depth of 16,043 feet; it penetrated a section composed almost...
Socioeconomic impacts of outer continental shelf oil and gas development; a bibliography
Malka L. Pattison
1977, Circular 761
The bibliography lists reports which are concerned primarily with the socioeconomic impacts of OCS oil and gas development or which, although not primarily concerned with such impacts, include sections that contain significant discussion of them. Several of the cited reports do not address socioeconomic issues directly, but have been included...
Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975
Charles Richard Murray, E. Bodette Reeves
1977, Circular 765
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1975 indicate that an average of about 420 bgd (billion gallons per day) about 1,900 gallons per capita per day was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) publicsupply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic...

Current oil and gas production from North American Upper Cretaceous chalks
Peter A. Scholle
1977, Circular 767
