Quality of streams in the Bull Mountains region, south-central Montana
J. R. Knapton
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-2
In October 1977, water-quality monitoring stations were established on five small streams that drain the Bull Mountains and also on the Musselshell River to document present water-quality conditions in a coal area of south-central Montana. Relatively static water-quality conditions exist throughout the annual flow cycle on the small streams but...
Ground-water applications of remote sensing
Gerald K. Moore
1982, Open-File Report 82-240
Remote sensing can be used as a tool to inventory springs and seeps and to interpret lithology, structure, and ground-water occurrence and quality. Thermograms are the best images for inventory of seeps and springs. The steps in aquifer mapping are image analysis and interpretation and ground-water interpretation. A ground-water interpretation...
Results of deep-well injection testing at Mulberry, Florida
John J. Hickey, W.E. Wilson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-75
At the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation plant, Mulberry, Fla., high-chloride, acidic liquid wastes are injected into a dolomite section at depths below about 4,000 feet below land surface. In 1975, a satellite monitor well was drilled 2,291 feet from the injection well and a series of three injection tests...
Model modifications for simulation of flow through stratified rocks in eastern Ohio
J. O. Helgesen, A. C. Razem, S. P. Larson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4019
A quasi three-dimensional groundwater flow model is being used as part of a study to determine impacts of coal-strip mining on local hydrologic systems. Modifications to the model were necessary to simulate local hydrologic conditions properly. Perched water tables required that the method of calculating vertical flow rate be changed....

Evaluation of sediment yield and sediment data-collection network in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado
J. E. Kircher, Paul Von Guerard
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4046
Statistical relationships were developed between suspended-sediment discharge and several regional factors of climate, physiography, and land use in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the existing sediment collection network, especially in regard to detecting changes in suspended-sediment discharge due to the development in...
Hydrology of the Prairie Dog Creek drainage basin, Rosebud and Big Horn Counties, Montana
N. E. McClymonds
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-37
The Prairie Dog Creek drainage basin in southeastern Montana was investigated during 1978-79 to assess the surface-water and ground-water resources and the quality of water in an area having coal-mining potential. The area, a 24.2-square-mile basin, is located 30 miles southwest of Ash-land, Montana. The principal mineable coal is the...

Lineaments derived from analysis of linear features mapped from Landsat images of the Four Corners region of the Southwestern United States
Daniel H. Knepper
1982, Open-File Report 82-849
Linear features are relatively short, distinct, non-cultural linear elements mappable on Landsat multispectral scanner images (MSS). Most linear features are related to local topographic features, such as cliffs, slope breaks, narrow ridges, and stream valley segments that are interpreted as reflecting directed aspects of local geologic structure including faults, zones...

1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4107
Lists of machine-readable data files were developed for the Madison Limestone and Northern Great Plains Regional Aquifer System Analysis (RASA) projects. They are stored on magnetic tape and available from the U.S. Geological Survey. Record format, file content, and size are given for: (1) Drill-stem-test data for Paleozoic and Mesozoic...

Methods for collection and analysis of geopressured geothermal and oil field waters
Michael S. Lico, Yousif K. Kharaka, William W. Carothers, Victoria A. Wright
1982, Water Supply Paper 2194
Present methods are described for the collection, preservation, and chemical analysis of waters produced from geopressured geothermal and petroleum wells. Detailed procedures for collection include precautions and equipment necessary to ensure that the sample is representative of the water produced. Procedures for sample preservation include filtration, acidification, dilution for silica,...
Altitude and configuration of the 1980 water table in the High Plains regional aquifer, northwestern Oklahoma

Lower through Upper Devonian rocks of the northern Antelope Range, Nev., consist of four formational rank units more than 800 m thick, separated from Mississippian units by an unconformity. The lower three Devonian units, the Beacon Peak Dolomite, McColley Canyon Formation, and Denay Limestone are known in other areas; the...
