1976, Circular 715-D
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...

Melvin D. Edwards
1976, Open-File Report 76-719
The National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX) has been established to assist users of water data in the identification, location, and acquisition of needed data. NAWDEX is not a depository of water data; its objectives are to provide the user with sufficient information to define what data are available, where these...

M. P. Foose, C. Ervin Brown
1976, Open-File Report 76-281
Synthesis of recent work in the NW Adirondacks, New York allows the development of a coherent geologic picture. Mapping of the Precambrian rock units enables the recognition of four major units which are, from bottom to top, 1) Granitic Gneiss (alaskite), 2) Lower Marble, 3) Major Gneiss, and 4) Upper...

Ground-water records for northeastern Oklahoma : Part 1, records of wells, test-holes, and springs
John S. Havens, DeRoy L. Bergman
1976, Open-File Report 76-890
The U. S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies. Although a large amount of ground-water data have been published, they are scattered through a...
