The changing pattern of ground-water development on Long Island, New York
Ralph C. Heath, B. L. Foxworthy, Philip M. Cohen
1966, Circular 524
Ground-water development on Long Island has followed a pattern that has reflected changing population trends, attendant changes in the use and disposal of water, and the response of the hydrologic system to these changes. The historic pattern of development has ranged from individually owned shallow wells tapping glacial deposits to...
Gravimetric effects of petroleum accumulations--A preliminary summary
Thane Hubert McCulloh
1966, Circular 530
Negative gravity anomalies of very local extent and with amplitudes of 1.2 milligals or less have been observed over some known petroleum and natural gas fields in southern California and South Dagestan, U.S.S.R. Field evidence, laboratory measurements, and theory indicate that these anomalies are mainly the result of hydrocarbon pore...
Tectonic creep in the Hayward fault zone, California
Dorothy H. Radbruch-Hall, M. G. Bonilla
1966, Circular 525
Tectonic creep is slight apparently continuous movement along a fault. Evidence of creep has been noted at several places within the Hayward fault zone--a zone trending northwestward near the western front of the hills bordering the east side of San Francisco Bay. D. H. Radbruch of the Geological Survey and...
Regional trends in water-well drilling in the United States
Gerald Meyer, Granville G. Wyrick
1966, Circular 533
Between the towns of Macon and Taylorville in central Illinois lies a ridge that is part of a system of ridges and knolls largely composed of sand and gravel. This ridge contains an important aquifer. An extensive electrical earth resistivity survey was conducted over the ridged-drift aquifer. Inversion of the...
The interior of the Earth, an elementary description
Eugene C. Robertson
1966, Circular 532
Evidence on the structure and composition of the earth's interior comes from (1) observations of surface rocks, (2) geophysical data from earthquakes, flow of heat from the interior, the magnetic field, and gravity, (3) laboratory experiments on surface rocks and minerals, and (4) comparison of the earth with other planets,...
Flood of October 8, 1962, on Bachman Branch and Joes Creek at Dallas, Texas
Frederick H. Ruggles
1966, Hydrologic Atlas 240
This report presents hydrologic data that enable the user to define areas susceptible to flooding and to evaluate the flood hazard along Bachman Branch and Joes Creek. The data provide a technical basis for making sound decisions concerning the use of flood-plain lands. The report will be useful for preparing...
Temperature of surface waters in the conterminous United States
James F. Blakey
1966, Hydrologic Atlas 235
Temperature is probably the most important, but least discussed, parameter in determining water quality. The purpose of this report is to present the average or most probable temperatures of surface waters in the conterminous United States and to cite factors that affect and are affected by water temperature. Temperature is...
