Evaluation and design of a streamflow-data network in Washington
Marshall E. Moss, W.L. Haushild
1978, Open-File Report 78-167
A method of evaluating the transferability of streamflow information by regional regression analysis was applied in Washington to several streamflow variables. The annual mean and annual standard deviation were chosen to represent the development potential of the water resource, while the mean, standard deviation, and the 50-year recurrence interval of...

Impact of coastal processes on resource development with an example from Icy Bay, Alaska
Bruce F. Molnia
1978, Open-File Report 79-1693
The coastline of Alaska is dynamic and continually readjusting to changes in the many processes that operate in the coastal zone. Because of this dynamic nature, special consideration must be made in planning for development, and. caution must be exercised in site selection for facilities to be emplaced in the...

January 1978 water levels, and data related to water-level changes since 1940 or 1950, western Kansas
Marilyn E. Pabst
1978, Open-File Report 78-409
This report contains basic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western 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 data for...

The study area occupies approximately 168 square miles of the Sacramento Valley. The study area boundary is the Yuba River in the north, the Feather River in the west, the Bear River in the south, and the Sierra Nevada foothills in the east. Between December 1976 and March 1977, 640 wells...
Chemical, physical, biochemical, and bacteriological characteristics at selected stream sites in Puerto Rico, 1976-77
Ferdinand Quinones-Marquez, Pedro Vasquez, Rafael Pena Cortes
1978, Open-File Report 78-445
In 1969, the Caribbean District of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, initiated the operation of a network to monitor some parameters indicative of water-quality changes at selected stream sites. The initial network consisted of 18 stations, which were expanded to 20 in 1971,...
Ground-water pollution by nitrogen compounds at Olean, New York; progress report, June 1977
Allan D. Randall
1978, Open-File Report 78-304
Ground water in an area in Olean, New York contains high concentrations of nitrogen compounds, which are being slowly flushed from the aquifer as the ground water flows toward a nearby well field where it is pumped out. Construction and regular use of a new production well in the area...
Preliminary sulfur isotope investigations of mineral deposits in the Precambrian shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

ADEPT: a program to estimate depth to magnetic basement from sampled magnetic profiles
Jeffrey D. Phillips
1978, Open-File Report 79-367
A fortran program computes depth to magnetic basement from the spatially varying autocorrelation function of a sampled magnetic profile. The depth calculation assumes a particular form for the autocorrelation function, and this assumption is tested against the measured autocorrelation function in order to reject invalid depth estimates....
