Thermal loading of natural streams
Alan P. Jackman, Nobuhiro Yotsukura
1977, Professional Paper 991
The impact of thermal loading on the temperature regime of natural streams is investigated by mathematical models, which describe both transport (convection-diffusion) and decay (surface dissipation) of waste heat over 1-hour or shorter time intervals. The models are derived from the principle of conservation of thermal energy for application to...

The National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX) has been established as a nationwide program directed at improving access to water and water-related data and disseminating information about the availability of these data throughout the entire water-resources community. NAWDEX is composed of a confederation of water-oriented organizations working together to facilitate the...
Ground-water investigation at the alluvial fan of the South Fork River, Anchorage, Alaska: results of test drilling, 1976
Larry L. Dearborn
1977, Open-File Report 77-493
In late 1976, at Anchorage, Alaska, a ground-water exploration well was drilled to a depth of 487 feet on the South Fork Eagle River fan near the confluence with the mainstream. The well penetrated four sand and gravel strata of low water-yielding capacity and extended 37 ft into metamorphic bedrock....
Progress report on study of magnitude and frequency of floods on small drainage areas in Florida
W. C. Bridges
1977, Open-File Report 77-478
Long-term flood records for small basins, especially those basins of less than 10 square miles, are almost nonexistent in Florida. In July 1967 a program was begun to develop a data base to extend short-term flood-peak records for small basins by use of the U.S. Geological Survey rainfall/runoff model. Concurrent...
Interpretation of an aeromagnetic anomaly in McMullen and Live Oak counties, Texas
Joseph S. Duval, R.A. Martin
1977, Open-File Report 77-768
An anomaly about 300 gammas in amplitude has been observed in data from an aerial magnetic survey flown over parts of Duval, Live Oak, McMullen, and Webb Counties, Tex. A two-and-one-half-dimensional model was used to iterpret the data, and the anomaly is apparently caused by a large mafic body centered...
Density and porosity estimates from borehole gravity data in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells, Douglas County, Colorado
Keith A. Byerley, J. W. Schmoker
1977, Open-File Report 77-875
Borehole gravity surveys were carried out in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells using the U.S. Geological Survey-LaCoste and Romberg borehole gravity meter (McCulloh and others, 1967a; McCulloh and others, 1967b). The objectives were to estimate the density and porosity of the formations penetrated, and to determine...
Reconnaissance hydrology of Portage Glacier basin, Alaska
L.R. Mayo, Chester Zenone, Dennis Trabant
1977, Hydrologic Atlas 583
Early reports of conditions in Portage Pass, Alaska, provide evidence that Portage Glacier was formerly larger and thicker. Past conditions, recent history, current retreat, and possible future changes are summarized from an analysis of reports, photographs of the glacier (1939, 1950, and annually since about 1960), and data on snow...
Computation of backwater and discharge at width constrictions of heavily vegetated flood plains
V.R. Schneider, J.W. Board, B.E. Colson, F.N. Lee, Leroy Druffel
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-129
The U.S. Geological Survey, cooperated with the Federal Highway Administration and the State Highway Departments of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, to develop a proposed method for computing backwater and discharge at width constrictions of heavily vegetated flood plains. Data were collected at 20 single opening sites for 31 floods. Flood-plain...

Ground-water resources along the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
M. D. Winner Jr.
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-65
The best areas to develop ground water along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina are in broad draws and in stream valleys where draws open to the valleys. Saprolite thickness in these places can exceed 50 feet and provide adequate ground-water storage; draws are topographic expressions of fracture zones...

Hydrology of the Creeping Swamp Watershed, North Carolina with reference to potential effects of stream channelization
M.D. Winner, C.E. Simmons
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-26
Hydrologic data were collected for four years at six sites in the Creeping Swamp watershed in eastern North Carolina in a preliminary effort to study the effects of stream channelization on the hydrology of a small watershed. A water-budget evaluation for pre-channelized conditions showed that runoff accounts for about 17...

Application of a selenium hydride-atomic absorption technique to test for homogeneity of USGS standard rock
L. P. Greenland, E.Y. Campbell
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 403-404
After acid decomposition of the sample, selenium hydride was generated by means of sodium borohydride, and the gas was swept through a resistance-heated quartz cell mounted in an atomic absorption spectrometer to determine as little as 5 ng/g selenium in 0.25 g rock sample. One-way analyses of variance of data...
