Preliminary appraisal of the geohydrologic aspects of drainage wells, Orlando area, central Florida
Joel O. Kimrey
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-37
The Floridan aquifer contains two highly transmissive cavernous zones in the Orlando area: an upper producing zone about 150-600 feet below land surface; and a lower producing zone about 1,100-1,500 feet below land surface. Natural head differences are downward and there is hydraulic connection between the two producing zones. Drainage...
Progress report on hydrologic investigations of small drainage areas in New Hampshire: preliminary relations for estimating peak discharges on rural, unregulated streams
Denis R. LeBlanc
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-47
The magnitude and frequency of floods on rural, unregulated streams in New Hampshire with drainage areas between 0.27 and 622 square miles may be estimated from drainage area, main-channel slope, and a precipitation intensity index. Based on multiple-regression analyses of data from 59 gaged sites in New Hampshire and adjacent...
Evaluation of thermograph data for California streams
J.T. Limerinos
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-66
Statistical analysis of water-temperature data from California streams indicates that, for most purposes, long-term operation of thermographs (automatic water-temperature recording instruments) does not provide a more useful record than either short-term operation of such instruments or periodic measurements. Harmonic analyses were made of thermograph records 5 to 14 years in...
Quality and movement of ground water in Otter Creek - Dry Creek basin, Cortland County, New York
William Buller, Wallace J. Nichols, J. F. Harsh
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-3
A steady increase in the chloride and nitrate content of water in a sand and gravel aquifer of glacial origin in the Cortland, N.Y., area prompted a study to obtain data on the extent and source of these constituents. Chloride concentration in the upper part of the aquifer increased generally...

Low-flow frequency of Georgia streams
R.F. Carter, S.A. Putnam
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-127
This report contains analyses of low-flow data and tabulations of computed low-flow frequency for all stream sites in Georgia where suitable flow records have been collected. These include 134 continuous-record gaging stations and 102 partial-record gaging stations. Frequency records for gaging stations with short records have been adjusted where possible...
Digital-model simulation of the glacial-outwash aquifer, Otter Creek-Dry Creek basin, Cortland County, New York
O. J. Cosner, J. F. Harsh
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-71
The city of Cortland, New York, and surrounding areas obtain water from the highly productive glacial-outwash aquifer underlying the Otter Creek-Dry Creek basin. Pumpage from the aquifer in 1976 was approximately 6.3 million gallons per day and is expected to increase as a result of population growth and urbanization. A...
Flood profiles for Cypress Creek, west-central Florida
W. R. Murphy Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-8
Flood profiles are included for selected recurrence-interval floods in west-central Florida for a 27-mile reach of Cypress Creek, for a 4-mile tributary reach, and for a 1.2-mile distributary reach. The procedure for constructing flood profiles is based on flood heights computed in a step-backwater analysis using the following data: 2-,...
Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada
Freddy E. Arteaga, Timothy J. Durbin
1978, Open-File Report 79-261
Eagle Valley is a topographic and ground-water basin in the west-central area of Nevada. The demand for water in the valley is approaching the limits of the locally available resource, which is the water yield of 9,000 acre-feet per year from the adjacent mountain areas.The steady-state pumping rate from the...

A geological and geochemical reconnaissance of the Tathlith one-degree quadrangle, sheet 19/43, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
William C. Overstreet
1978, Open-File Report 78-1072
The Tathlith one-degree quadrangle occupies an area of 11,620 sq km in the northeastern Asir region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the southeastern part of the Precambrian shield. In the eastern part of the quadrangle the Precambrian rocks are covered by exposures of easterly-dipping sandstone of Cambrian or...
Altitude and configuration of the top of the Floridan Aquifer, Duval County, Florida
G.W. Leve
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-114
Structural contours on the top of the Floridan aquifer in Duval County, Florida, show that the top of the aquifer ranges from less than 300 feet below sea level to more than 600 feet below sea level. Two inferred concealed faults occur in the aquifer; one trending northeast-southwest in the...

1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-65
Myakka River is a coastal stream that drains approximately 550 square miles in southwest Florida. Under natural conditions, Tatum Sawgrass, a large depression, served as a flood overflow area for the upper part of the Myakka River basin.
