Shelled benthic fauna of the eastern Chukchi Sea
Dennis M. Mann
1977, Open-File Report 77-672
The purposes of this study were to identify the benthic shelled infauna and epifauna of the eastern Chukchi Sea, compile species lists and distribution maps, determine recurrent groups of species (communities), and examine the environmental parameters that may control the distribution of the faunal groups. The study was partly supported...
User's guide for U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff models; revised 1977
Philip Hadley Carrigan Jr., David E. Bower, G.R. Dempster
1977, Open-File Report 77-884
Modified versions of the rainfall-runoff model described by Dawdy, Lichty, and Bergmann (1972) (see W72-11754) are used in the U.S. Geological Survey as a means of synthesizing flood discharges for small drainage areas. Synthesized flood discharges derived through use of long-term (60-70 year) rainfall and evaporation data, provide a more...
Summary of basic hydrologic data collected at Coso Hot Springs, Inyo County, California
W. R. Moyle
1977, Open-File Report 77-485
More than 200 wells and springs were visited within a 20-mile radius of Coso Hot Springs, Calif. Hydrologic and geothermal data were collected for each well or spring site. The data includes depth, chemical quality, temperature and specific conductance of water, quantity of flow, well construction, and well logs. These...
Water resources of the Barona, Capitan Grande, and Sycuan Indian Reservations, San Diego County, California
W. R. Moyle, R.L. Blazs
1977, Open-File Report 77-289
The Barona and Capitan Grande Indian Reservations, California, have sufficient water to satisfy present (1976) domestic and stock needs; however, the Sycuan Indian Reservation is experiencing a shortage of water for domestic supply because of the decline of the water table beneath the reservation well field and a general decline...

Preliminary study of subsurface wastewater movement in and near Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, through October 1976
Edward Riley Cox
1977, Open-File Report 77-275
Investigations were made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Teton County, Wyoming and the National Park Service to determine the effects on nearby lakes and streams of percolating wastewater effluent at three sites in and near Grand Teton National Park. Observation wells were drilled at two of the...
Analysis of runoff from small drainage basins in Wyoming
Gordon S. Craig, James G. Rankl
1977, Open-File Report 77-727
A flood-hydrograph study has defined the magnitude and frequency of flood volumes and flood peaks that can be expected from drainage basins smaller than 11 square miles in the plains and valley areas of Wyoming. Rainfall and runoff data, collected for 9 years on a seasonal basis (April through September),...

Publication of ground-water level data for the United States in water-supply papers was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, a single water-supply paper for each year covering the entire nation was issued (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886). Since then water-supply papers have...
Density and porosity estimates from borehole gravity data in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells, Douglas County, Colorado
