Sulfate reduction in ground water of southeastern Montana
William S. Dockins, G.J. Olson, Gordon A. McFeters, S.C. Turbak, Roger W. Lee
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-9
Ground water in southeastern Montana was investigated to determine if sulfide production was bacterially mediated. Sulfate—reducing bacteria were detected in 25 of 26 ground—water samples in numbers ranging from 2.0 x 101 to greater than 2.4 x 104 bacteria per 100 milliliters. Stable sulfur isotope fractionation studies indicate a biological...
Paleohydrology of the southern Great Basin, with special reference to water table fluctuations beneath the Nevada Test Site during the late(?) Pleistocene
Isaac Judah Winograd, Gene C. Doty
1980, Open-File Report 80-569
Knowledge of the magnitude of water-table rise during Pleistocene pluvial climates, and of the resultant shortening of groundwater flow path and reduction in unsaturated zone thickness, is mandatory for a technical evaluation of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) or other arid zone sites as repositories for high-level or transuranic radioactive...
Work plan for the Schuylkill River basin, Pennsylvania: Assessment of river quality as related to the distribution and transport of trace metals and organic substances
G.L. Pederson, Thomas H. Yorke, J. K. Stamer
1980, Open-File Report 80-566
The U.S. Geological Survey is making a river-quality assessment of the Schuylkill River basin in Pennsylvania from October 1978 to March 1981. It is part of a continuing program designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of river-quality studies for basin planning and water-resource management. Study objectives include determining (1) presence of...

The potential for developing ground-water supplies in the Pescadero area, San Mateo County, California
J. P. Akers
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-6
Adequate supplies of ground water for municipal use generally are not available within a 3-mile radius of Pescadero, San Mateo County, California. The required quantity of 100 gallons per minute probably could be obtained from one or more wells in the alluvium along Pescadero Creek; however, the quality of the...
Investigation of acidity and other water-quality characteristics of Upper Oyster Creek, Ocean County, New Jersey
Thomas V. Fusillo, J.C. Schornick Jr., H.E. Koester, D.A. Harriman
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-10
Water-quality data collected in the upper Oyster Creek drainage basin, Ocean County, N.J., indicate that the stream has excellent water quality except for a persistently low pH. The mean concentrations of the major inorganic ions were all less than 6.0 milligrams per liter. Mean concentrations of total nitrogen and total...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1977
Roberto Perez, Lynn Harmsen
1980, Open-File Report 80-743
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, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources, expanded the existing gaging-station network...

Preliminary observations of noise spectra at the SRO and ASRO stations
Jon Peterson
1980, Open-File Report 80-992
The seismic noise spectra presented in this report were derived from SRO and ASRO station data for the purpose of evaluating the performance of the seismic instruments. They are also useful for constructing a spectral estimate of earth noise at a quiet site based on noise samples obtained from a...

Jon Peterson, Charles R. Hutt, L. Gary Holcomb
1980, Open-File Report 80-187
The Seismic Research Observatory (SRO) network is generating an important new data base for seismological research. The SRO systems have extended both the range and resolution of seismic measurements beyond the limits of conventional seismographs and the data are recorded in digital format making it convenient to automate processing and...
Statistical summaries of selected streamflow data, South Platte River in Colorado and Nebraska, North Platte and Platte Rivers in Nebraska

This report is a compilation of statistical summaries of streamflow data for 22 gaging stations on the South Platte River in Colorado and Nebraska, and the North Platte and Platte Rivers in Nebraska. (USGS)...
Nitrogen in ground water and surface water from sewered and unsewered areas, Nassau County, Long Island, New York
Stephen E. Ragone, B. G. Katz, G.E. Kimmel, J.B. Lindner
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-21
Data on nitrogen in groundwater and surface waters in the sewered and unsewered parts of Nassau County were analyzed to evaluate the principal sources of nitrogen and to determine what factors significantly affect its concentration in the upper glacial aquifer and the underlying Magothy aquifer. Nitrate data for water samples...
Waste-assimilation capacity of the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colorado, as it relates to water-quality guidelines and stream classification
Doug Cain, Duaina Baldridge, Patrick Edelmann
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-82
The waste-assimilation capacity of a 42-mile reach of the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colo., was evaluated using a one-dimensional steady-state water-quality model. The model was calibrated and verified using hydraulic and water-quality data collected in 1976 and 1979. The water-quality con-stituents modeled were 5-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand, total...
Effects of urbanization on the water quality of lakes in Eagan, Minnesota
M. A. Ayers, G. A. Payne, Mark A. Have
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-71
Water-quality characteristics of 17 lakes and ponds in the city of Eagan were described from data collected from 1972 through 1978. The data showed that differences in water quality between lakes were related to differences in the percentage of urbanization. However, water-quality variations within each lake were affected more by...
