N.G. Grannemann, F. R. Twenter
1982, Open-File Report 82-567
Three test holes drilled at Windigo in Isle Royale National Park in 1981 indicate that the ophitic basaltic lava flows underlying the area contain little water and cannot be considered a source for public water supply. The holes were 135, 175, and 71 feet deep. One hole yielded about 1...

Effects of Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic faulting on the geology and hydrology of the coastal plain near the Savannah River, Georgia and South Carolina
R.E. Faye, D.C. Prowell
1982, Open-File Report 82-156
Geologic and hydrologic investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey have defined stratigraphic and hydraulic anomalies suggestive of faulting within Coastal Plain sediments between the Ogeechee River in east-central Georgia and the Edisto River in west-central South Carolina. Examination of borehole cuttings, cores, and geophysical logs from test wells indicate that...

K-Ar geochronology of basement rocks on the northern flank of the Huancabama deflection, Ecuador
Tomas Feininger, M.L. Silberman
1982, Open-File Report 82-206
The Huancabamba deflection, a major Andean orocline located at the Ecuador-Peru border, constitutes an important geologic boundary on the Pacific coast of South America. Crust to the north of the deflection is oceanic and the basement is composed of basic igneous rocks of Cretaceous age, whereas crust to the south...
Hydrologic analysis of the upper San Pedro basin from the Mexico-United States international boundary to Fairbank, Arizona
G. W. Freethey
1982, Open-File Report 82-752
A definition of the hydrologic system of the upper San Pedro basin was obtained by developing a numerical ground-water model to evaluate a conceptual model of the system. Information on hydraulic properties of the basin fill, recharge from bordering mountain ranges, discharge by evapotranspiration, and exchange of water between aquifer...
Radioactivity and geochemistry of selected mineral-spring waters in the Western United States; basic data and multivariate statistical analysis
J.K. Felmlee, R. A. Cadigan
1982, Open-File Report 82-324
Multivariate statistical analyses were performed on data from 156 mineral-spring sites in nine Western States to analyze relationships among the various parameters measured in the spring waters. Correlation analysis and R-mode factor analysis indicate that three major factors affect water composition in the spring systems studied: (1) duration of water...
Ground-water data for Michigan, 1981
G.C. Huffman
1982, Open-File Report 82-754
This report summarizes data on water levels in 124 observation wells and provides information on well locations, depths, altitudes, and aquifers that they tap. Tabulated data include extremes of water levels for 1981 and for the period of record; pumpage of most major groundwater users in the State; and quality...
Characterization of aquifers designated as potential drinking-water sources in Mississippi
L. A. Gandl
1982, Open-File Report 81-550
The Environmental Protection Agency has established that all ground water having a dissolved-solids concentration of less than 10,000 milligrams per liter is to be protected from injection of waste material. The Underground Injection Control program is intended to protect aquifers that are possible future sources of drinking water. Fourteen aquifers...
