Mathematical model of gamma-ray spectrometry borehole logging for quantitative analysis
Ulrich Schimschal
1981, Open-File Report 81-402
A technique for analyzing gamma-ray spectral-logging data has been developed, in which a digital computer is used to calculate the effects of gamma-ray attentuation in a borehole environment. The computer model allows for the calculation of the effects of lithology, porosity, density, and the thickness of a horizontal layer of...
Quantitative geomorphology of drainage basins in Sumter National Forest, South Carolina
Glenn G. Patterson
1981, Open-File Report 81-417
This report describes a computer program, written in Basic, that facilitates quantitative analysis of drainage basins and channel networks. The program was used to inventory 2,000 small watersheds in Sumter National Forest, South Carolina during 1980 and 1981. Drainage basins and stream segments were delineated in color on mylar overlays...
Potentially favorable areas for large-yield wells in the Red River Formation and Madison Limestone in parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska
L.M. MacCary, E. M. Cushing, David L. Brown
1981, Open-File Report 81-220
The need for large quantities of energy has created interest in the Fort Union coal region of the Northern Great Plains. Extensive development of this coal, which may include onsite steam-power generation, gasification, liquefaction, and slurry-pipeline transport of the coal from this region, would place a heavy demand on the...

Simulated interactions between the proposed Narrows Reservoir and the water-table aquifer along the South Platte River, Morgan County, Colorado
Alan W. Burns
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-119
A computer model, including a ground-water-flow component and a mass balance reservoir-operations component, was developed to simulate the proposed Narrows Reservoir and the adjacent alluvial aquifer of the South Platte River, Morgan County, Colo. This model, using a weekly time step, simulated the transient interactions of these two systems for...
Selected hydrogeologic data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
1981, Open-File Report 81-534
Selected hydrologic data have been used in a 4-year study of aquifers of Cenozoic and Mesozoic age in the northern Great Plains to define the hydrologic system and to generate hydrologic maps. Records of 6,754 wells and 188 springs are tabulated in the report. The well data include site location,...
Selected drill-stem-test data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
1981, Open-File Report 81-326
Selected drill-stem-test data were collected for use in the hydrologic analysis of aquifers in the northern Great Plains area of Montana. To supplement existing data defining the potentiometric surface of various aquifers, shut-in pressures recorded during drill-stem tests of oil and gas test wells were used to calculate the altitude...
Preliminary design study for a National Digital Seismograph Network

Revised techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Montana
Charles Parrett, R. J. Omang
1981, Open-File Report 81-917
Relations for estimating the flood magnitudes for ungaged sites in Montana have been updated. The State was divided into eight regions and separate multiple-regression equations for each region were developed that relate logarithms of annual flood magnitude to logarithms of basin characteristics for exceedance probabilities of 50, 20, 10, 4,...
