Selected biological characteristics of streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
Ronald W. Naten, Richard H. Fuller
1981, Open-File Report 81-644
Biological sampling was carried out during 1976-78 in five streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, in order to provide baseline water-quality data for an area of potential oil-shale development. The biological activity in the streams sampled generally is limited by physical factors more so than by chemical...
Hydrology and the effects of industrial pumping in the Nikiski area, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson
1981, Open-File Report 81-685
Ground-water consumption for industrial use at Nikiski increased from about 1 million gallons per day in 1968 to 4.2 million gallons per day in 1979. Water managers and local citizens are concerned that industrial pumping may reduce the esthetic and recreational value of local lakes. Some lake levels have declined...
Water-quality reconnaissance of the Larkin Creek watershed, Lee and St. Francis counties, Arkansas
James C. Petersen
1981, Open-File Report 81-819
A reconnaissance of the Larkin Creek watershed in Arkansas was made during April through September 1980 to assess the water quality of streams in the watershed. Streamflow was measured and water samples were collected three times during the study period. Samples of bottom material were collected in September. Concentrations of...
Water-quality reconnaissance of Patton Lake, Jefferson County, Arkansas
James C. Petersen
1981, Open-File Report 81-806
Results of a study (summer of 1980) of pesticides, nutrients, and other water-quality characteristics of the water and bottom material of Patton Lake indicate that the lake is nutrient enriched and that several pesticides are present in the bottom material. The high pH (9.0 to 9.3) and large dissolved-oxygen concentrations...
Water-quality reconnaissance of Harding Creek, Lawrence County, Arkansas
James C. Petersen
1981, Open-File Report 81-1058
A study of Harding Creek conducted between April and October 1980 to assess the water quality of the creek indicates no serious water-quality problems. Eight water samples were collected during periods of low to moderate streamflow (less than 19 cubic feet per second). The water was hard to very hard...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1978
Roberto Perez
1981, Open-File Report 81-922
Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas...

Paleomagnetic study of the As Sarat volcanic field, southwestern Saudi Arabia
Karl S. Kellogg, Richard L. Reynolds
1981, Open-File Report 81-675
Four stratigraphic sections through alkali basalt flows of Oligocene-Miocene age (24 to 29 m.y.) in the As Sarat volcanic field, southwestern Saudi Arabia, were sampled for paleomagnetic study. Forty-two magnetically acceptable flows (139 samples) yield a mean direction of magnetization of D=-4.7°, 1=15.2° (α95=4.3°), which defines a paleomagnetic pole at...
Quality of water and time of travel in Little Copiah Creek near Crystal Springs, Mississippi
S. J. Kalkhoff
1981, Open-File Report 81-1069
An intensive quality of water study was conducted on Little Copiah Creek in the vicinity of Crystal Springs, Miss., from August 19 to August 21, 1980. The quality of water in Little Copiah Creek improved 7 miles downstream of a source of wastewater inflow. The mean total nitrogen concentration decreased...

Flow model of Saginaw River near Saginaw, Michigan
David J. Holtschlag
1981, Open-File Report 81-1061
An unsteady-flow simulation model was applied to a 19.5-mile reach of Saginaw River. The model provides a method of determining instantaneous discharge for flows from -8,000 to 12,000 cubic feet per second. The currently used slope-rating method can be utilized to compute discharge only under steady and high-flow conditions. Unsteady...
