Ground-water resources of the Yucca Valley-Joshua Tree area, San Bernardino County, California
R.E. Lewis
1972, Open-File Report 72-234
The southeastern part of the Mojave Water Agency area included in this report comprises about 600 square miles. Recharge into the area is almost exclusively from precipitation in the San Bernardino and Little San Bernardino Mountains. About 500 acre-feet per year of recharge enters the western part of the area...
Potential transport of sediment from Enloe Reservoir by the Similkameen and Okanogan rivers, Washington
L. M. Nelson
1972, Open-File Report 72-269
This study was undertaken to determine the probable effects on the Similkameen and Okanogan Rivers of the removal, transport, and deposition of sediment now deposited behind Enloe Dam on the Similkameen River, if the dam were removed. Under existing conditions of sediment transport, the average annual suspended-sediment discharges at three streamflow-measuring...

Water in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
O. J. Cosner
1972, Open-File Report 72-78
Water for domestic and municipal supply on St. John, in the past, has been obtained from rain catchments, dug wells, and barge shipments from St. Thomas and Puerto Rico. As a result of this study, small ground-water supplies have been developed for the Virgin Islands National Park. Ground water occurs...
The nature and extent of peat deposits and possible effects of peat mining on manmade features and springs near Mescalero, New Mexico
F. P. Lyford
1972, Open-File Report 72-238
A study was made during May 1971 by the U.S. Geological Survey to: (1) determine the nature and extent of peat deposits near Mescalero, N. Mex. ; (2) determine whether mining of the peat will affect the stability of three manmade features near the deposits; (3) determine whether peat mining...

Radiochemical analyses of surface water from U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic bench-mark stations
V.J. Janzer, L.G. Saindon
1972, Open-File Report 72-191
The U.S. Geological Survey's program for collecting and analyzing surface-water samples for radiochemical constituents at hydrologic bench-mark stations is described. Analytical methods used during the study are described briefly and data obtained from 55 of the network stations in the United States during the period from 1967 to 1971 are...
Stream depletion factors, Arkansas River valley, southeastern Colorado; A basis for evaluating plans for conjunctive use of ground and surface water
C.T. Jenkins, O.J. Taylor
1972, Open-File Report 72-192
The Arkansas River valley is a stream-aquifer system that consists of the Arkansas River and the associated valley-fill deposits. The hydrology, geology, and water-resources development in the valley have been described by Moore and Wood (1967). The history of delivery of irrigation water by canals indicates that the supply has...
The hydraulic geometry of some Alaskan streams south of the Yukon River
William W. Emmett
1972, Open-File Report 72-108
Channel geometry surveys were conducted to determine bankfull stage, discharge, and other hydraulic parameters at 22 locations along the proposed route of the trans-Alaska pipeline corridor south of the Yukon River. Combined with the records from gaging stations located at some of the sites, the data are sufficient to describe...

Nutrient survey of surface waters in southern Florida during a wet and a dry season, September 1970 and March 1971
Herbert J. Freiberger
1972, Open-File Report 72-124
A mass nutrient survey of southern Florida surface waters was made in September 1970, during a period of generally high water, and again in March 1971, during a period of low water. Water samples were analyzed by automated chemical techniques for total ortho plus acid-hydrolyzable phosphorus (P-P04), ammonia nitrogen...
Test-observation well near Davenport, Washington: description and preliminary results
D.A. Myers
1972, Open-File Report 72-265
The 750-foot test-observation well drilled near Davenport, Wash., is one of several drilled to date (1972) to provide information on ground-water conditions in selected areas of the State. The well provides information on aquifer characteristics in this area which are not available from existing deep irrigation wells. The well was...

Floods in the summer of 1971 in south-central Alaska
Robert D. Lamke
1972, Open-File Report 72-215
Floods and high water occurred throughout the summer of 1971 in south-central Alaska. Snow cover, 150 percent of average, in the mountains on May 1 caused local snowmelt floods from mid-May to mid-July. The peak discharge of 265,000 cfs (cubic feet per second) on July 15 at Copper River near...
