A special planning technique for stream-aquifer systems
C.T. Jenkins, O. James Taylor
1974, Open-File Report 74-242
The potential effects of water-management plans on stream-aquifer systems in several countries have been simulated using electric-analog or digital-computer models. Many of the electric-analog models require large amounts of hardware preparation for each problem to be solved and some become so bulky that they present serious space and access problems....

Search for geothermal seismic noise in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California
Hariharaiyer Mahadeva Iyer
1974, Open-File Report 74-96
The U. S. Geological Survey made seismic noise measurements in the East Mesa area of Imperial Valley, California, to find out if a noise anomaly was associated with the Mesa thermal anomaly. Thirty-three locations were occupied in the area using slow-speed tape-recording seismic systems. One of the stations (CEN) was...

Hydrology of the Dismal Swamp, Virginia-North Carolina
William Francis Lichtler, Patrick Neil Walker
1974, Open-File Report 74-39
The Dismal Swamp, on the border between eastern Virginia and North Carolina is one of the few remaining large (approximately 210,000 acres) areas of wet wilderness in the eastern United States. There has been much speculation concerning the hydrologic conditions that led to the formation of the swamp.Oaks and Coch...

Geothermal systems of northern Nevada
Richard Kenneth Hose, Bruce Edward Taylor
1974, Open-File Report 74-271
Hot springs are numerous and nearly uniformly distributed in northern Nevada. Most occur on the flanks of basins, along Basin and Range (late Miocene to Holocene) faults, while some occur in the inner parts of the basins. Surface temperatures of the springs range from slightly above ambient to, boiling; some...

Response of ground-water levels of flood control operations in three basins, south-eastern Florida
William A.J. Pitt
1974, Open-File Report 74-86
Three basins in southeastern Florida were investigated to determine the changes in ground-water levels and canal flows that occurred in response to operation of coastal water-control structures in each canal. All three basins are underlain by the Biscayne aquifer. They are, Snapper Creek Canal basin, where the Biscayne aquifer is...
Hydrology of the abandoned coal mines in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania
Jerrald R. Hollowell
1974, Open-File Report 74-237
Mine-water discharge, into the Susquehanna River degrades the river's quality during periods of low flow to a point critical for subsistence of aquatic life. To determine what measures are required to provide a better quality mine-water discharge in the Wyoming Valley, mine hydrology and mine-water quality are related to mine-pool...
Review of waterpower classifications and withdrawals, Pit River basin, California
Sterling R. Osborne
1974, Open-File Report 74-64
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the existing waterpower classifications of the Geological Survey in the Pit River basin relative to the most recent water resources information and planning. A detailed description of Geological Survey classifications is given on pages 40 and 41. In a following section each...

The diorite at West Warren, south-central Massachusetts
John S. Pomeroy
1974, Open-File Report 74-138
Follated, syntectonic, concordant intrusive bodies of mostly diorite and meladiorite with less abundant quartz diorite and norite have been mapped in the West Warren area of south-central Massachusetts. The rocks of the pluton range from a medium colored phase of diorite and quartz diorite to a dark colored phase of...
