A water-quality assessment of the Muddy Fork Silver Creek watershed, Clark, Floyd, and Washington counties, Indiana
Mark A. Hardy
1978, Open-File Report 78-202
Data collected for a wide range of flow conditions from September 8, 1975, to July 13, 1976, reveal that human and animal waste loading of streams and pesticide use in the watershed are probably the most significant water-quality problems. Generally, the type(s) of water in tributary streams in the south...

Geohydrology of the Antlers aquifer, southeastern Oklahoma
D.L. Hart, Robert Ellis Davis
1978, Open-File Report 78-766
The Antlers aquifer, which consists of as much as 900 feet of friable sandstone, silt, clay, and shale, crops out in area of 1,860 square miles and underlies about 4,400 square miles in southeastern Oklahoma. Precipitation ranges from 34 to 50 inches per year across the outcrop area which is...

Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques
Leonard Gaydos
1978, Open-File Report 78-186
Computer-aided techniques for interpreting multispectral data acquired by Landsat offer economies in the mapping of land cover. Even so, the actual establishment of the statistical classes, or "signatures," is one of the relatively more costly operations involved. Analysts have therefore been seeking cost-saving signature extension techniques that would accept training...
