1981, Open-File Report 81-1188
A stochastic model is developed to simulate flows for three seasons (September through February, March and April, May through August) at Overton, Odessa, and Grand Island, Nebraska on the Platte River. The model preserves the first and second order moment properties of the historical flow series, including significant autocorrelations within...
Flood peaks and discharge summaries in the Delaware River basin
Arthur A. Vickers, Harry A. Farsett, J. Wayne Green
1981, Open-File Report 81-912
Streamflow data from 299 continuous and crest-stage sites in the Delaware River basin are summarized in this report. The location, drainage area, period of record, type of gage, and average discharge for each gaging site are given. Also included are tables of annual peaks and peaks above base, annual and...
Reconnaissance of the Hot Springs Mountains and adjacent areas, Churchill County, Nevada
Nickolas E. Voegtly
1981, Open-File Report 81-134
A geologic reconnaissance of the Hot Springs Mountains and adjacent areas, which include parts of the Brady-Hazen and the Stillwater-Soda Lake Known Geothermal Resource Areas, during June-December 1975, resulted in a reinterpretation of the nature and location of some Basin and Range faults. In addition, the late Cenozoic stratigraphy has...
Hydrogeologic conditions in the coastal plain of New Jersey
Eric F. Vowinkel, W. Kendall Foster
1981, Open-File Report 81-405
A wedge-shaped mass of unconsolidated sediments composed of alternating layers of clay, silt, sand, and gravel underlies the Coastal Plain of New Jersey. The hydrologic units of this mass vary in thickness, lateral extent, lithology, and water-bearing characteristics. Some of the units act as aquifers, whereas other units act as...

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...
Water-quality data for selected stations in the East Everglades, Florida
Bradley G. Waller
1981, Open-File Report 81-821
The results of water-quality samples collected from April 1978 through April 1980 from three canal stations, four marsh stations, and two ground-water stations within the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida, are tabulated in 37 tables. The major categories of parameters analyzed are field measurements, physical characteristics, macronutrients (carbon, nitrogen, and...
Reconnaissance investigation of evaporites in the Al Qasab and Rayda areas, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
C. L. Smith
1981, Open-File Report 82-218
Salt is being produced by the evaporation of brine in shallow pits at Sabkhah al Milh (lat 25 ? 15' N., long 45 ? 35' E.), near Al Qasab. In the Rayda area (lat 20? 28' N., long 47?40' E.), extensive, discontinuous beds of gypsum are exposed, but bedded halite...
Decentralized shared computers in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program
Peter L. Ward, James Herriot, William F. Jolitz
1981, Open-File Report 81-104
The needs for computer analysis in the National Earthquake Program are varied, complex, and rapidly growing. Major sources of frustration have been the difficulty of keeping up with the required analysis, and the difficulties of sharing a wide variety of data and computer programs among several hundred researchers at dozens...

Leachability of uranium and other elements from freshly erupted volcanic ash
David B. Smith, Robert A. Zielinski, William I. Rose Jr.
1981, Open-File Report 81-118
A study of leaching of freshly erupted basaltic and dacitic air-fall ash and bomb fragment samples, unaffected by rain, shows that glass dissolution is the dominant orocess by which uranium is initially mobilized from air-fall volcanic ash. Si, Li, and V are also Preferentially mobilized by glass dissolution. Gaseous transfer...

Luminescence images of the Patrick Draw geosat petroleum test site, Wyoming
Robert Watson
1981, Open-File Report 81-606
In collaboration with the Geosat committee remote sensing test site program, luminescence images were acquired of parts of the Patrick Draw-Brady oil and gas test site in Wyoming. The Fraunhofer line discriminator was operated at 486.1 nanometer, 589.0 nanometer, and 656.3 nanometer Fraunhofer lines. Most of the luminescence highs occur...

1981, Open-File Report 81-1105
Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges, based on channel geometry parameters, are presented as a method for evaluating Ohio floods in geographic areas deficient in flow data. One hundred and sixty gaging stations were selected on streams with alluvial channels unaltered by man. Exposed bedrock is absent...
