R.K. Gabrysch, C.W. Bonnet
1974, Open-File Report 74-123
The pumping of large amounts of ground water in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, has resulted in water-level declines of as much as 200 feet (61 metres) in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer and as much as 325 feet (99 metres) in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer during 1943-73....
Storage of low-level radioactive wastes in the ground; hydrogeologic and hydrochemical factors
Stavros Stefanu Papadopulos, Isaac Judah Winograd
1974, Open-File Report 74-344
The status of mathematical simulation techniques, as they apply to radioactive waste burial sites, is briefly reviewed, and hydrogeologic and hydrochemical data needs are listed in order of increasing difficulty and cost of acquisition. Predictive modeling, monitoring, and management of radionuclides dissolved and transported by ground water can best be...
Volcanic hazards on the Island of Hawaii
Donal Ray Mullineaux, Donald W. Peterson
1974, Open-File Report 74-239
Volcanic hazards on the Island of Hawaii have been determined to be chiefly products of eruptions: lava flows, falling fragments, gases, and particle-and-gas clouds. Falling fragments and particle-and-gas clouds can be substantial hazards to life, but they are relatively rare. Lava flows are the chief hazard to property; they are...

1974, Open-File Report 74-136
A 1,930-foot (588-metre) water-supply well was constructed at the Painted Canyon Overlook, Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park (South Unit), southwestern North Dakota. Aquifers underlying the site are in rocks of Late Cretaceous and Tertiary age. These rocks have an aggreqate thickness of about 2,000 feet (610 metres). The well screen...

Tin resources of Brazil
Max Gregg White
1974, Open-File Report 74-333
Annual tin production in Brazil, most of it from cassiterite placer deposits in Rondonia Territory, amounts to about 4,000 metric tons (4,400 short tons) of concentrate containing 66 percent tin, much of which is consumed by Brazilian industry. Reserves of cassiterite concentrate in the placers of Rondonia district are estimated at...
Hard iron ore at the Cliffs Shaft Mines, Ishpeming, Michigan
