Reconnaissance of sediment transport and channel morphology in the Lower Rio Bermejo Basin, Argentina - with a section on reconnaissance of the lower Rio Pilcomayo Basin, Argentina and Paraguay
John R. Ritter
1976, Open-File Report 76-564
Sediment transport conditions are described for the Lower Rio Bermejo and the Rio Pilcomayo in the Gran Chaco region of northern Argentina and southern Paraguay. The Lower Rio Bermejo is in many ways atypical, as its channel narrows downstream. Also its flow decreases downstream even though average annual rainfall at...
Hydrologic relations between lakes and aquifers in a recharge area near Orlando, Florida
William F. Lichtler, G.H. Hughes, F. L. Pfischner
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-65
The three lakes investigated in Orange County, Florida, gain water from adjoining water-table aquifer and lose water to Floridan aquifer by downward leakage. Net seepage (net exchange of water between lake and aquifers) can be estimated by equation S = AX + BY, where S is net seepage, X represents...
Digital model for simulated effects of ground-water pumping in the Hueco Bolson, El Paso Area, Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico
W.R. Meyer
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-58
The Hueco Bolson provides a substantial part of the municipal and industrial water supply of the El Paso area of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. Although the supply 6f fresh ground water in the bolson is large, about 10.6 million acre-feet (13,070 hm3) in 1973 in the Texas part of...
Historic water-level changes and pumpage from the principal aquifers of the Memphis area, Tennessee: 1886-1975
James H. Criner, William Scott Parks
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-67
The Memphis Sand ("500-foot" sand) supplies about 95 percent of the water used in the Memphis area for municipal and industrial purposes. In general, pumpage has increased at an irregular rate since the completion of the first well to this aquifer in 1886. These withdrawals are responsible for an almost...

Land and natural resource information and some potential environmental effects of surface mining of coal in the Gillette area, Wyoming
William Richard Keefer, R. F. Hadley
1976, Circular 743
Campbell County, along the east margin of the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming, contains more coal than any other county in the United States. The principal deposit is the Wyodak-Anderson coal bed. The bed is 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) thick over large areas, lies less than 200 feet (60...

Water resources of the Myakka River basin area, southwest Florida
Boyd F. Joyner, Horace Sutcliffe Jr.
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-58
Ground water in the Myakka River basin area of southwest Floria is obtained from a water-table aquifer and from five zones in an artesian aquifer. Wells in the water-table aquifer yield generally less than 50 gpm and dissolved solids concentration is less than 500 mg/liter except in coastal areas and...
Ground water favorability and surficial geology of the Portland area, Maine
Glenn C. Prescott
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 561
This hydrologic atlas describes the surficial geology and groundwater resources of about 240 square miles in Cumberland County, Maine. The most productive aquifers are outwash and ice-contact deposits. Their locations and the most favorable areas for obtaining large yields from them are indicated on the map. The largest reported yield...
High-resolution seismic reflection profiling for mapping shallow aquifers in Lee County, Florida
T.M. Missimer, Richard Alfred Gardner
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-45
High-resolution continuous seismic reflection profiling equipment was utilized to define the configuration of sedimentary layers underlying part of Lee County, Florida. About 45 miles (72 kilometers) of profile were made on the Caloosahatchee River Estuary and San Carlos Bay. Two different acoustic energy sources, a high resolution boomer and a...

Techniques for estimating flow characteristics of Wyoming streams
H. W. Lowham
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-112
This report presents relations for estimating peak flows and mean annual flow characteristics are: (1) The Channel-geometry method, whereby flow characteristics are related to channel dimensions; and (2) the basin-characteristics method, whereby flow characteristics are related to physiographic and climatic features of the drainage basin. Development of the channel-geometry method...
Potentiometric surface of Floridan aquifer May 1975, and change of potentiometric surface 1969 to 1975, Southwest Florida Water Management District and adjacent areas
L. R. Mills, C. P. Laughlin
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-80
Maps showing the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer for May 1975, and changes of potentiometric surface from 1964 to 1975 were prepared for areas in southwest Florida. Contours and color codes describe water-level changes. The larger map, scale 1:500,000, reflects the water-level changes from 1969-75. The smaller map shows...
Backflushing Filters for Field Processing of Water Samples Prior to Trace-Element Analyses
V. C. Kennedy, E. A. Jenne, J.M. Burchard
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-126
A portable unit is described for filtering water samples at field sites in such a manner that the filtrate is suitable for analysis not only of major constituents but also of trace elments at the mocrogram-per-liter level. A battery-operated peristaltic pump forces the water sample through medical-grade silicone tubing into...
Availability of ground water in the middle Merrimack River basin, central and southern New Hampshire
John E. Cotton
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-39
This report provides a guide for ground-water exploration and for water- and land-use planning and management. Sufficient amounts of water to supply single family homes are available from the bedrock aquifer nearly everywhere in the middle Merrimack River basin. Relatively thin and narrow, unconsolidated aquifers of sand or sand and...
