Lawrence A. Eccles
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-109
The quality of ground water in the alluvium along the usually dry Mojave River near Barstow, Calif., has been monitored since 1974. Degradation has occurred as a result of wastewater discharge and irrigation return. Characteristics of the degraded ground water include concentrations of dissolved solids exceeding 1,000 milligrams per liter,...
A 10-year plan to study the aquifer system of Indian Wells Valley, California
Paul Lipinski, Darwin D. Knochenmus
1981, Open-File Report 81-404
Water needs of the population of Indian Wells Valley, Calif., must be met through further development of ground-water resources. Studies show that annual ground-water pumpage there has increased since 1945 and has exceeded mean annual recharge since 1966. Continued and increased stress on the aquifer system of the valley is...

1981, Open-File Report 81-438
Subbottom seismic-reflection, echo-sounding, and sidescan-sonar records were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during two cruises over Georges Bank aboard the R/V OCEANUS (cruise 056, March 6-15, 1979 and cruise 067, August 6-13, 1979) (fig. 1). The data collected during these two cruises contributed to a study of bed-form types...
Preliminary design study for a National Digital Seismograph Network
Jon Peterson, Charles R. Hutt
1981, Open-File Report 81-1046
Recently, the National Research Council published a report by the Panel on National, Regional, and Local Seismograph Networks of the Committee on Seismology in which the principal recommendation was for the establishment of a national digital seismograph network (NDSN). The Panel Report (Bolt, 1980) addresses both the need and the...
Selected biological characteristics of streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
Ronald W. Naten, Richard H. Fuller
1981, Open-File Report 81-644
Biological sampling was carried out during 1976-78 in five streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, in order to provide baseline water-quality data for an area of potential oil-shale development. The biological activity in the streams sampled generally is limited by physical factors more so than by chemical...
