The High Plains aquifer underlies 174,050 sq mi of eight states (Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming) and contains approximately 3.3 billion acre-ft of water in storage. Saturated thicknesses within the aquifer are as great as 600 ft near the southern border of southwest Kansas....
Simulation of the flow system of Barton Springs and associated Edwards Aquifer in the Austin area, Texas

1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4299
A digital model of two-dimensional groundwater flow was used to estimate the hydraulic properties of the Edwards Aquifer in a 151 sq mi area near Austin, Texas. The transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, and specific yield were estimated for the part of the aquifer that discharges at Barton Springs in Austin. The...

1985, Water Data Report MO-84-1
Water resources data for the 1984 water year for Missouri consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; contains records for water discharge at 112 gaging stations; stage and contents at 9 lakes and reservoirs; water quality at 71 sampling stations (including 1 lake) and...
A primer on trace metal-sediment chemistry
Arthur J. Horowitz
1985, Water Supply Paper 2277
In most aquatic systems, concentrations of trace metals in suspended sediment and the top few centimeters of bottom sediment are far greater than concentrations of trace metals dissolved in the water column. Consequently, the distribution, transport, and availability of these constituents can not be intelligently evaluated, nor can their environmental...

Maps showing abundance and distribution of mercury in rock samples, Medford 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, Oregon-California
Charles L. Whittington, David J. Grimes, Reinhard W. Leinz
1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1383-K
This map presents data on the abundance and distribution of mercury in 3,146 rock samples from the Medford quadrangle. Most of the rock samples were collected incidental to geologic, geochemical, and mineral resources studies in the period from 1974 to 1980, but about 6 percent date from earlier investigations (Wells,...
Map showing abundance and distribution of arsenic in oxide residues of stream-sediment samples, Medford 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, Oregon-California
Charles L. Whittington, Reinhard W. Leinz, David J. Grimes
1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1383-J
Stream-sediment sampling in the Medford 1o x 2o quadrangle was undertaken to provide to aid in assessment of the mineral resource potential of the quadrangle. This map presents data on the abundance and distribution of copper in the oxide residues (oxalic-acid leachates) of stream sediments and in the minus-0.18-mm sieve fraction...
Map showing depth to bedrock in the Seattle 30' by 60' Quadrangle, Washington
J. C. Yount, G.R. Dembroff, G.M. Barats
1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1692
Maps depicting thicknesses of sedimentary units (isopach maps) are standard tools for interpretation of processes and patterns of sedimentation within basins (Potter and Pettijohn, 1977, p. 283-287). Isopach maps showing the thickness of unconsolidated sedimentary deposits overlying bedrock may help locate sources of aggregate and potential ground-water aquifers. These maps...
Ground water in Utah's densely populated Wasatch Front area - The challenge and the choices
Don Price
1985, Water Supply Paper 2232
Utah's Wasatch Front area comprises about 4,000 square miles in the north-central part of the State. I n 1980, the area had a population of more than 1.1 million, or about 77 percent of Utah's total population. It contains several large cities, including Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Provo, and...

Bibliography of borehole geophysics as applied to ground-water hydrology
Ticie A. Taylor, Joyce A. Dey
1985, Circular 926
Most of the references on borehole geophysics that are relevant to ground-water hydrology are contained in this bibliography, but it does not include every reference that is available under each subject heading; the literature is much too extensive to compile a complete listing. Some of the references may appear under...
