1978, Open-File Report 78-357
The U. S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies. Data on construction, yield, water levels, and other physical well parameters are given in...

The proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) area includes about 18,960 acres in Tps. 22 and 23 S., Rs. 30 and 31 E., New Mexico Principal Meridian, Eddy County, southeastern New Mexico. It is located within the Carlsbad Mining District about 25 miles east of Carlsbad. The WIPP area is...
Ground-water data for 1976-77 in Joshua Tree National Monument, California
D.J. Downing
1978, Open-File Report 78-854
A continuing study of ground water in Joshua Tree National Monument shows that during 1976-77 water levels fluctuated seasonally; slight declines were detected in the Oasis of Mara and the Pinto Basin. Water quality was generally good, with a high concentration of fluoride in one well in the southern part...
Geohydrology of the Antlers aquifer, southeastern Oklahoma
D.L. Hart, Robert Ellis Davis
1978, Open-File Report 78-766
The Antlers aquifer, which consists of as much as 900 feet of friable sandstone, silt, clay, and shale, crops out in area of 1,860 square miles and underlies about 4,400 square miles in southeastern Oklahoma. Precipitation ranges from 34 to 50 inches per year across the outcrop area which is...
