Geohydrologic reconnaissance of drainage wells in Florida; an interim report
Joel O. Kimrey, Larry D. Fayard
1982, Open-File Report 82-860
Drainage wells are used to inject surface waters directly into an aquifer, or shallow ground waters directly into a deeper aquifer, primarily by gravity. Such wells in Florida may be grouped into two broad types: (1) Surface-water injection wells, and (2) interaquifer connector wells. Surface-water injection wells are commonly used...

Water for western oil shale development: Potential local supplies
G.A. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-31
Commercial-scale development of western oil shale resources will require a supply of water for both extraction and reclamation purposes. This paper summarizes some of the information on the occurrence of potential local supplies of water in the Piceance Creek Basin-Uinta Basin areas of northwest Colorado and northeast Utah. The discussion...

Data management system for USGS/USEPA urban hydrology studies program
W.H. Doyle Jr., J.A. Lorens
1982, Open-File Report 82-442
A data management system was developed to store, update, and retrieve data collected in urban stormwater studies jointly conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 11 cities in the United States. The data management system is used to retrieve and combine data from USGS data...
Geology of areas marked by geophysical anomalies (B-35 and B-34), Wadi Bidah District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1982, Open-File Report 82-668
Geophysical surveys in the Wadi Bidah district, in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have revealed anomalies of the type that may be caused by deposits of massive sulfides. Accordingly, a study was undertaken to investigate the geologic environment associated with the geophysical anomalies and to determine...
Analytical determinations from samples taken in the Ten Mile West Roadless Area, Boise and Elmore counties, Idaho
Thor H. Kiilsgaard
1982, Open-File Report 82-1099
A total of 584 stream-sediment and rock samples were collected from within or near the Ten Mile West Roadless Area, Boise and Elmore Counties, Idaho, as part of a geologic study aimed at appraising the mineral resource potential of the area. Emphasis was placed on stream-sediment samples because stream sediments...
Cost effective stream-gaging strategies for Maine
R. A. Fontaine
1982, Open-File Report 82-507
This report documents the successful application of the traveling-hydrographer program developed by Moss and Gilroy to stream-gaging operations. This application was novel in the consideration of winter discharge records for the period of backwater effects due to ice. The current level of operation in Maine was identified as requiring a...
Documentation and user's guide for interactive spectral analysis and filter program package useful in the processing of seismic reflection data
