Contour map showing minimum depth to ground water, upper Santa Ana River valley, California, 1973-1979
Scott E. Carson, Jonathan C. Matti
1982, Open-File Report 82-1128
A contour map showing minimum depth to ground water from 1973 through 1979 was constructed for the upper Santa Ana River valley region. The map was prepared as an initial step in an ongoing liquefaction-potential study, but is not a liquefaction-hazard map. The contour map indicates where ground water shallower...
Effects of urbanization on the magnitude and frequency of floods on small streams in Tennessee; basic data report no. 2
Clarence H. Robbins
1982, Open-File Report 82-911
Peak stages, discharges, and rainfall recorded at 22 gaging stations on streams draining small (less than 25 mi super 2) urbanized basins across Tennessee are presented. The gaged basins are in 17 different municipalities with populations ranging between 5,000 and 100,000. The report gives a description of each gaged site...

Streamflow and sediment transport in the Quillayute River basin, Washington
L. M. Nelson
1982, Open-File Report 82-627
From October 1976 to September 1978 the U.S. Geological Survey made a reconnaissance evaluation of the fluvial-sediment transport and documented the natural streamflow characteristics in the Quillayute River basin in northwestern Washington. Most of the flow originates from the tributaries, the Soleduck, Bogachiel, and Calawah Rivers. Flow in the summer...
Vertical movement of ground water under the Merrill Field landfill, Anchorage, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson, L.L. Dearborn
1982, Open-File Report 82-1016
Shallow groundwater under the Merrill Field sanitary landfill at Anchorage is polluted by leachate. Wells, including three Municipal-supply wells, obtain water from two confined aquifers 100-300 feet beneath the landfill area. Aquifer-test data and information on subsurface geology, ground-water levels, and properties of materials were used to estimate vertical gradients...
Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California
T. David Riney, J.W. Pritchett, L.F. Rice
1982, Open-File Report 82-980
Geological, geophysical, thermal, petrophysical and hydrological data available for the East Mesa hydrothermal system that are pertinent to the construction of a computer model of the natural flow of heat and fluid mass within the system are assembled and correlated. A conceptual model of the full system is developed and...
Proceedings of Workshop XVI; The dynamic characteristics of faulting inferred from recordings of strong ground motion
John Boatwright, editor(s)
1982, Open-File Report 82-591
The strong ground motions radiated by earthquake faulting are controlled by the dynamic characteristics of the faulting process. Although this assertion seems self-evident, seismologists have only recently begun to derive and test quantitative relations between common measures of strong ground motion and the dynamic characteristics of faulting. Interest in this...
Organic geochemistry of sediments on the flanks of Tanner and Cortes banks offshore from southern California
J. B. Rapp, K.A. Kvenvolden
1982, Open-File Report 82-829
Holocene sediment, composed mainly of foram tests, occurs on the flanks of the Tanner and Cortes Banks, offshore southern California. The organic matter in this sediment differs in content and composition from the organic matter in nearby basins. Two sources of hydrocarbons are indicated: terrestrial plants and biodegraded or immature...

Zeolites in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota
William H. Raymond, Alfred L. Bush, Arthur J. 3rd Gude 3rd
1982, Open-File Report 82-959
Zeolites of possible commercial value occur in the Brule Formation of Oligocene age and the Sharps Formation (Harksen, 1961) of Miocene age which crop out in a wide area in the northern part of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The thickness of the zeolite-bearing Interval and the extent of areas...

Test and calibration of the Digital World-Wide Standardized Seismograph
Jon Peterson, Charles R. Hutt
1982, Open-File Report 82-1087
During the past decade there has been steady progress in the modernization of the global seismograph network operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The World-Wide Standardized Seismograph Network (WWSSN) has been augmented by new stations with advanced instrumentation, including the Seismic Research Observatories (SRO) and the modified High-Gain Long-Period...
Sediment and channel-geometry investigations for the Kansas River bank stabilization study, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado
W. R. Osterkamp, R.E. Curtis, H.G. Crowther
1982, Open-File Report 81-128
Analysis of hydrologic data from the Kansas River basin suggests that the channels of the lower Solomon, Saline, and Smoky Hill Rivers have narrowed and stabilized as a result of construction of upstream reservoirs. The Kansas River channel, however, remains relatively unstable and locally active. Streamflow regulation and sediment trapping...
Ground-water levels in Wyoming, 1971 through part of 1980
Jess O. Ragsdale
1982, Open-File Report 82-859
Ground-water levels are measured periodically in a network of about 280 observation wells in Wyoming, mostly in areas where ground water is used in large quantities for irrigation or municipal purposes. The program is conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Wyoming State Engineer and the city...

1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4123
Torrential precipitation, as much as 20 inches in 12 hours, resulted in unprecedented flooding on Dry Walnut Creek in southwestern Barton County, central Kansas. Runoff from the storm caused extensive flooding in the town of Great Bend on June 15, 1981. Estimates of total damages exceeded $42 million. Measurements of...
January 1982 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
M.E. Pabst
1982, Open-File Report 82-649
Water-level measurements were made, mostly in January 1982, in about 1,530 wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data are...
