Water consumption by nuclear powerplants and some hydrological implications
Ennio V. Giusti, E.L. Meyer
1977, Circular 745
Published data show that estimated water consumption varies with the cooling system adopted, being least in once-through cooling (about 18 cubic feet per second per 1,000 megawatts electrical) and greatest in closed cooling with mechanical draft towers (about 30 cubic feet per second per 1,000 megawatts electrical). When freshwater is...

Dissolved-oxygen regimen of the Willamette River, Oregon, under conditions of basinwide secondary treatment
Walter G. Hines, S. W. McKenzie, D. A. Rickert, F. A. Rinella
1977, Circular 715-I
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...

Geological studies on the COST No. B-2 well, U. S. Mid-Atlantic outer continental shelf area
Peter A. Scholle
1977, Circular 750
The COST No. B-2 well is the first deep stratigraphic test to be drilled on the United States Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (AOCS) area. The well was drilled on the eastern flank of the Baltimore Canyon trough to a total depth of 16,043 feet; it penetrated a section composed almost...
Environmental geology, Allegheny County and vicinity, Pennsylvania: Description of a program and its results
Reginald Peter Briggs
1977, Circular 747
Past land-use practices, including mining, in Allegheny County, Pa., have resulted in three principal environmental problems, exclusive of air and water contamination. They are flooding, landsliding, and subsidence over underground mines. In 1973, information was most complete relative to flooding and least complete relative to landsliding. Accordingly, in July 1973,...

Socioeconomic impacts of outer continental shelf oil and gas development; a bibliography
Malka L. Pattison
1977, Circular 761
The bibliography lists reports which are concerned primarily with the socioeconomic impacts of OCS oil and gas development or which, although not primarily concerned with such impacts, include sections that contain significant discussion of them. Several of the cited reports do not address socioeconomic issues directly, but have been included...

Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975
Charles Richard Murray, E. Bodette Reeves
1977, Circular 765
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1975 indicate that an average of about 420 bgd (billion gallons per day) about 1,900 gallons per capita per day was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) publicsupply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic...
A synoptic survey of trace metals in bottom sediments of the Willamette River, Oregon
David A. Rickert, V. C. Kennedy, S. W. McKenzie, W. G. Hines
1977, Circular 715-F
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...

Factors limiting the sensitivity and dynamic range of a seismic system employing analog magnetic tape recording and a seismic amplifier with adjustable gain settings and several output levels
Jerry P. Eaton, John R. Van Schaack
1977, Open-File Report 77-224
In the course of modernizing the low-speed-tape-recorder portable seismic systems and considering the possibilities for the design of a cassette-tape-recorder seismic refraction system, the factors that limit the sensitivity and dynamic range of such systems have been reviewed. These factors will first be stated briefly, and then their influence on...
Frequency response of the USGS short period telemetered seismic system and its suitability for network studies of local earthquakes
Jerry P. Eaton
1977, Open-File Report 77-844
The USGS telemetered seismic system was intended primarily to record small to moderate earthquakes (magnitude 0 to 4) at distances of a few km to several hundred km. Its frequency response is such that the recorded background noise at a moderately quite Coast Range site has a relatively flat 'record'...
