Dissolved-oxygen depletion and other effects of storing water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah
E.L. Bolke
1978, Open-File Report 78-92
The circulation of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is caused chiefly by insolation, inflow-outflow relationships, and wind, which is significant due to the geographical location of the reservoir. During 1970-75, there was little annual variation in the thickness, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance of the hypolimnion near Flaming Gorge Dam....

Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in St. Louis County, Missouri
Donald Webster Spencer, Terry W. Alexander
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-139
Equations and nomographs in.this report can be used to estimate peak flood-discharges having recurrence intervals up to 100 years in rural and urban areas of St. Louis County, Mo. The basin characteristics significant at the 5-percent probability level were drainage area and percentage imperviousness. Drainage area can be measured from...
Subsurface geology and paleogeography of Queens County, Long Island, New York
Julian Soren
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-34
Unconsolidated strata of clay, silt, sand, and gravel of Late Cretaceous and pre-Wisconsin Pleistocene ages lie between crystalline basement rocks (bedrock) of Precambrian ( ) age and unconsolidated deposits of late Pleistocene (Wisconsin) and Holocene ages in Queens County, Lond Island, N.Y. Data collected during a recent study of the...
Estimation of ground motion parameters
David M. Boore, Adolph A. Oliver III, Robert A. Page, William B. Joyner
1978, Open-File Report 78-509
Strong motion data from western North America for earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5 are examined to provide the basis for estimating peak acceleration, velocity, displacement, and duration as a function of distance for three magnitude classes. Data from the San Fernando earthquake are examined to assess the effects of...

Hydrogeologic factors affecting the availability and quality of ground water in the Temple Terrace area, Hillsborough County, Florida
Joseph William Stewart, Carole L. Goetz, L. R. Mills
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-4
Ground water occurs in two aquifers in the Temple Terrace area of Hillsborough County, Fla. The lower one is the artesian Floridan aquifer; the upper is the water-table aquifer. The Floridan aquifer is a thick sequence of limestone and dolomite layers which include several permeable zones that generally are treated...
Model evaluation of the hydrogeology of the Cypress Creek well field in west-central Florida
Paul D. Ryder
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-79
The Cypress Creek well field is being developed to help supply a rapidly growing population in west-central Florida. The ground-water system in the Cypress Creek well-field area consists of a surficial sand aquifer, a semiconfining clay layer ranging from 2 to 25 feet in thickness, and a sequence of carbonate...
