A preliminary appraisal of the Garber-Wellington Aquifer, southern Logan and northern Oklahoma counties, Oklahoma
Jerry E. Carr, Melvin V. Marcher
1977, Open-File Report 77-278
The Garber-Wellington aquifer, which dips westward at 30 to 40 feet per mile, consists of about 900 feet of interbedded sandstone, shale, and siltstone. Sandstone comprises 35 to 75 percent of the aquifer and averages about 50 percent. Water-table conditions generally exist in the upper 200 feet in the outcrop...

Energy development scenarios and water demands and supplies: an overview
F. A. Kilpatrick
1977, Open-File Report 77-697
On the basis of average mean annual flows, ample water exists in the upper Missouri River basin for energy development. The lack of storage and diversion works upstream as well as State compacts preclude the ready use of this surplus water. These surplus flows are impounded in mainstream reservoirs on...
Graded layering in the Al Hadah pluton near At Ta'if, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Donald G. Hadley, William R. Greenwood
1977, Open-File Report 77-594
To assess urban storm-water-quality characteristics in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oreg., seven drainage basins were selected with varying drainage areas, basin slopes, impervious areas, land uses, and active construction areas. Automatic water-quality samplers, rain gages, and stream gages were installed in each basin. From September 1, 1975, to May...

User's guide for U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff models; revised 1977
Philip Hadley Carrigan Jr., David E. Bower, G.R. Dempster
1977, Open-File Report 77-884
Modified versions of the rainfall-runoff model described by Dawdy, Lichty, and Bergmann (1972) (see W72-11754) are used in the U.S. Geological Survey as a means of synthesizing flood discharges for small drainage areas. Synthesized flood discharges derived through use of long-term (60-70 year) rainfall and evaporation data, provide a more...
Geochemistry of the Mattole River in Northern California
Vance C. Kennedy, Ronald L. Malcolm
1977, Open-File Report 78-205
The chemical composition of streams can vary greatly with changing discharge during storm runoff. These chemical changes are related to the pathways of various water parcels from the time they fall as rain until they enter the stream, and to the interactions between water and sediment during transport downstream. 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...
Geochemistry and mineralogy of the carbonates of the Creede mining district, Colorado

1977, Open-File Report 77-706
This paper describes the results of a study of the carbonate gangue in the silver-base metal ore deposit of the Creede mining district, located in Tertiary volcanic rocks of the central San Juan Mountains, southwestern Colorado. Two carbonate stages can be distinguished and defined on the basis of mineral association,...

The water table in the surficial aquifer (sand) and the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer (limestone) in a 1,200-square-mile area in west-central Florida are mapped semiannually by the U.S. Geological Survey. Maps are prepared each May and September to coincide with seasonal low and high ground-water levels. The mapped...
