Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Celso Puente
1976, Open-File Report 76-393
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very...

The Mineral X-Ray Diffraction Data Retrieval/Plot Computer Program--XRDPLT (VanTrump and Hauff, 1976a) is used to retrieve and plot mineral X-ray diffraction data. The program operates on a file of mineral powder diffraction data (VanTrump and Hauff, 1976b) which contains two-theta or 'd' values, and intensities, chemical formula, mineral name, identification...
Lead isotope data bank; 2,624 samples and analyses cited
Bruce R. Doe
1976, Open-File Report 76-201
The Lead Isotope Data Bank (LIDB) was initiated to facilitate plotting data. Therefore, the Bank reflects data most often used in plotting rather than comprises a comprehensive tabulation of lead isotope data. Up until now, plotting was done using card decks processed by computer with tapes plotted by a Gerber...

Crossbedding of the Potomac Formation in Fairfax County, Virginia
Gordon Whitney Weir
1976, Open-File Report 76-193
Crossbedding in sandstone units is the most conspicuous sedimentary structure of the Potomac Formation in Fairfax County, Virginia. Most sets of crossbeds are a few feet thick and several feet wide and tens of feet long. Trough sets are dominant, but planar sets are also common. Dip directions of crossbeds...

Floods in Ohio: magnitude and frequency
Earl E. Webber, William P. Bartlett
1976, Open-File Report 76-768
Techniques are presented for estimating the magnitude ant frequency of floods on Ohio streams. .Regression analysis is used to develop equations which relate physical and climatic factors of river basins to peak discharge at stream gaging stations. The equations can be used to estimate flood magnitudes with recurrence intervals from...
Water availability, quality, and use in Alaska
G. O. Balding
1976, Open-File Report 76-513
The Alaska Water Assessment, sponsored by the Water Resources Council, is a specific problem analysis for Alaska of the National Assessment of Water and Related Land Resources. The assessment addresses water and water-related land problems, present and future. It was felt that a supplementary report, as a part of the...
A cross-section plotting program (CSPP) for gridded (map) data
Richard B. Wells, Charles R. Faust, James W. Mercer
1976, Open-File Report 76-689
A FORTRAN program that prepares the Calcomp plotter tape for drawing cross-sections from gridded map data is described and documented. The program accepts gridded data of the form Z(x,y), where Z is the value at the grid intersection, (x,y). Up to 10 sets of Z(x,y) data for a given grid...
Mean annual runoff in the upper Ohio River basin, 1941-70, and its historic variation
Robert M. Beall
1976, Open-File Report 76-384
A map of the Ohio River basin above the Muskingum River shows patterns of mean annual runoff for the climatologic and hydrologic reference period, 1941-70. The primary data base consisted of 98 long-term gaging-station records collected within this 27,300-square-mile headwater area of the Ohio River basin. Supplemental information was derived...
Flume studies with fine and coarse sands
Carl F. Nordin
1976, Open-File Report 76-762
This report presents a summary of hydraulic and sediment-transport data for two series of laboratory studies in a recirculating flume. Sands with median diameters of 0.25 and 1.1 millimeters were used in the studies. Velocities and depths were controlled, and the slopes, bed configurations and sediment-transport rates adjusted to the...
Geochemical prospecting for Carlin-type gold deposits
Sherman P. Marsh
1976, Open-File Report 76-335
Disseminated, Carlin-type, gold deposits are associated with a volatile suite of elements consisting of Hg, As, Sb, W, and sometimes, but not always, Au. Geochemical exploration for this type of disseminated deposit depends upon recognizing the significance of this volatile suite and interpreting it in light of other geologic and...
