Analog model study of the ground-water basin of the Upper Coachella Valley, California
Stephen J. Tyley
1974, Water Supply Paper 2027
An analog model of the ground-water basin of the upper Coachella Valley was constructed to determine the effects of imported water on ground-water levels. The model was considered verified when the ground-water levels generated by the model approximated the historical change in water levels of the ground-water basin caused by...
Water quality of hydrologic bench marks; an indicator of water quality in the natural environment
James E. Biesecker, Donald K. Leifeste
1974, Circular 460-E
Water-quality data, collected at 57 hydrologic bench-mark stations in 37 States, allow the definition of water quality in the 'natural' environment and the comparison of 'natural' water quality with water quality of major streams draining similar water-resources regions. Results indicate that water quality in the 'natural' environment is generally very...
Simulated effects of oil-shale development on the hydrology of Piceance basin, Colorado
John B. Weeks, George H. Leavesley, Frank A. Welder, George J. Saulnier Jr.
1974, Open-File Report 74-255
The Piceance and Yellow Creeks drainage area is about 900 square miles (2,330 square kilometres) and is referred to as the Piceance basin, or simply as the basin. The surface-water and ground-water systems in the Piceance basin are intimately related. The annual volume of runoff from the basin (Piceance and...
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...
Reconnaissance engineering geology of Sitka and vicinity, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle
1974, Open-File Report 74-53
A program to study the engineering geology of most of the larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started following the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report about Sitka and vicinity is a product of that program. Field-study methods were of a reconnaissance nature,...
Posssible extension of mineral belts, northern part of Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho
Garland Bayard Gott, Joseph Moses Botbol
1974, Open-File Report 74-67
The ore deposits in the northern part of the Coeur d'Alene district are located within rocks of the Belt Supergroup that have been intruded by Cretaceous quartz monzonites. Lead-zinc-silver replacement veins constitute most of the deposits. The geometry of the district has been modified by post-ore faulting along the Osburn,...
GEOPAC
Richard H. Godson
1974, Open-File Report 74-1039
GEOPAC .consists of a series of subroutines to primarily process potential-field geophysical data but other types of data can also be used with the program. The package contains routines to reduce, store, process and display information in two-dimensional or three-dimensional form. Input and output formats are standardized and temporary disk...
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...

Surficial geologic map of the Framingham quadrangle, Middlesex and Worcester Counties, Massachusetts
Arthur E. Nelson
1974, Geologic Quadrangle 1176
The Framingham quadrangle covers about 55 square miles and is centered approximately 18 miles west of Boston. Even though the major topographic features are controlled by the lithology and structure of the bedrock, glacial features, such as drumlins, kames and kettles, kame terraces, eskers, gently sloping deltas, and flat-lying lake-bottom...
Effects of urbanization on floods in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area
George R. Dempster Jr.
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-60
The effects of urbanization on flood characteristics of streams in the Dallas metropolitan area were studied by use of a digital model of the hydrologic system. The model was calibrated by using observed rainfall and runoff data from 19 storms in six basins having various degrees of urbanization. The calibrated...

Mathematical model of San Juan Valley ground-water basin, San Benito County, California
Robert E. Faye
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-58
A mathematical model study of the San Juan Valley ground-water basin in San Benito County, Calif., has quantitatively described the ground-water hydrology of the basin under past, present, and future conditions of development. An analysis of conditions in the basin prior to large-scale ground-water development indicates that net recharge equaled...
Erosion and sediment yields in mountain watersheds of the Transverse Ranges Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, California; analysis of rates and processes
Kevin M. Scott, Rhea P. Williams
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-47
Major-storm and long-term erosion rates in mountain watersheds of the western Transverse Ranges of Ventura County are estimated to range from low values that will not require the construction of catchments or channel-stabilization structures to values as high as those recorded anywhere for comparable bedrock erodibilities.A major reason for this...
Estimating low-flow frequency for perennial Missouri Ozarks streams
John Skelton
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-59
A linear regression model, utilizing an independent variable described as the flow area of a stream, has been developed for use in estimating minimum streamflow at ungaged sites in the Ozarks region of Missouri. The basic premise in the method is that low-flow characteristics at any point on perennial Ozarks...
