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...

Hydrologic setting of Williams Lake, Hubbard County, Minnesota
Donald I. Siegel, Thomas C. Winter
1980, Open-File Report 80-403
The hydrology and geology of Williams Lake watershed was studied to evaluate the accuracy of various methods used to determine precipitation and evaporation in lake water-balance studies and to define a lake and ground-water system according to approaches suggested by theoretical modeling studies. Regression analysis between estimated and measured precipitation...
Hydrology and water quality of the copper-nickel study region, northeastern Minnesota
Donald I. Siegel, Donald W. Ericson
1980, Open-File Report 80-739
Data were collected on the hydrology of the Copper-Nickel study region to identify the location and nature of groundwater resources, determine the flow characteristics and general quality of the major streams, and determine the potential effects of mining copper and nickel on the hydrologic stream. Groundwater generally occurs in local...

Hydrology of the Chicod Creek basin, North Carolina, prior to channel improvements
Clyde E. Simmons, Mary C. Aldridge
1980, Open-File Report 80-680
Extensive modification and excavation of stream channels in the 6-square mile Chicod Creek basin began in mid-1979 to reduce flooding and improve stream runoff conditions. The effects of channel improvements on this Coastal Pain basin 's hydrology will be determined from data collected prior to, during, and for several years...

Cape Cod Aquifer, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Barbara J. Ryan
1980, Open-File Report 80-571
Ground water was the major source of drinking water on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1978. Withdrawals from over 100 municipal wells averaged 17.5 million gallons per day in 1978. Private wells on Cape Cod are estimated to number 15,000. Ground water occurs primarily under unconfined or water-table conditions. Artesian conditions...

Ground-water appraisal of the Fishkill-Beacon area, Dutchess County, New York
Deborah S. Snavely
1980, Open-File Report 80-437
The most productive aquifers in the Fishkill-Beacon area, Dutchess County, N.Y., are the sand and gravel beds in the northeast corner of the area and along the valleys of Fishkill and Clove Creeks. The average yield of these aquifers to wells is 190 gal/min (gallons per minute). The most productive...

Ground-water appraisal in northwestern Big Stone County, west-central Minnesota
W.G. Soukup
1980, Open-File Report 80-568
The development of ground water for irrigation in northwestern Big Stone County has not kept up with development in other irrigable areas of the State. This is due, in part, to the absence of extensive surficial aquifers and the difficulty in locating buried aquifers. Test augering south of Beardsley outlined a...

The U.S. Department of Energy is investigating the suitability of salt domes in the Mississippi salt-dome basin as repositories for storing radioactive wastes. The Department of Energy has requested that the U.S. Geological Survey describe the groundwater hydrology of the Mississippi salt-dome basin, giving special attention to direction and rate...

January 1980 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
M.E. Pabst
1980, Open-File Report 80-958
This report contains hydrologic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter, mostly in January, when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. This report also provides basic hydrologic...
