Separate tables are presented for unregulated and regulated periods of record. These summary tables include: (1) the number of...
Geochemical Exploration Techniques Applicable in the Search for Copper Deposits
Maurice A. Chaffee
1975, Professional Paper 907-B
Geochemical exploration is an important part of copper-resource evaluation. A large number of geochemical exploration techniques, both proved and untried, are available to the geochemist to use in the search for new copper deposits. Analyses of whole-rock samples have been used in both regional and local geochemical exploration surveys in the...

1975, Open-File Report 75-165
The surface soil consisting of clay, silt, sand, and salt crust in Kuchakki hamun (dry lake) contains nitrates, sulfates, salts of boron, magnesium, and widely dispersed traces of potassium. No bromine or iodine salts were detected. Several hundred samples of soil were analyzed by spot-test methods, and the results were...

'Geological Survey Research 1975 ' is the 16th annual synopsis of the results of U.S. Geological Survey investigations. These studies are largely directed toward the development of knowledge that will assist the Nation to use and conserve the land and its physical resources wisely. They are wide ranging in scope...
An introduction to the processes, problems, and management of urban lakes
L. J. Britton, R. C. Averett, R. F. Ferreira
1975, Circular 601-K
Lakes are bodies of water formed in depressions on the earth's surface, and as such, act as depositories for a variety of chemical and biological materials. The study of lakes has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Lakes are a valuable resource, and their multiple uses have made them susceptible...

Drainage areas for Illinois streams
Kent M. Ogata
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-13
Drainage areas were tabulated for all streams in Illinois which drain over 100 square miles. at sites where streamflow data have been collected, and at other selected locations. Areas were planimetered on U.S. Geological Survey topographic quadrangle maps and balanced to known areas taken from Smithsonian Geographical Tables of areas of quadrilaterals of...
Land subsidence caused by dissolution of salt near four oil and gas wells in central Kansas
Stuart Wesley Fader
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-27
Collapse of the overlying strata into voids caused by dissolution of salt is the apparent cause of progressive land subsidence at the sites of several oil wells that were drilled through the salt beds of the Wellington Formation in Kansas. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if data...
Digital models of a glacial outwash aquifer in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area, west-central Minnesota
S. P. Larson, Mark S. McBride, R. J. Wolf
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-40
-p^e need for study of lake-ground-water interchange has been accentuated by eutrophication of lakes in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area of west-central Minnesota. The local ground-water flow system is dominated by an outwash aquifer that is sandwiched between two till layers in the western part of the area and exposed at...
A river-quality assessment of the upper White River, Indiana
William J. Shampine
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-10
This report attempts to interrelate the physical, chemical, biological, esthetic, and cultural aspects of the upper White River (above Centerton, Ind.) by assessing the mass of available data. Relatively few new data were collected.The White River can be subdivided into five distinct river-quality sections. Section 1, above Winchester, drains a...
Satellite relay and processing of hydrologic data in south Florida
E.T. Wimberly
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-12
Management of water in south Florida requires current hydrologic data on water levels and rainfall. This need is being met by a data processing system which provides near-real-time data from remote areas. The flow of data is from data-collection platforms at field sites via LANDSAT-1 satellite to the National Aeronautics...
Dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate of surface-water runoff in the Suwannee River Water Management District, Florida

The Miocene aquifer system in Mississippi
Roy Newcome
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-46
A large amount of information is available on the aquifers of Mississippi. Reports resulting from various areal studies have described the ground-water resources of the areas concerned, but no reports dealing specifically with the statewide occurrence of individual aquifer systems have been prepared previously. A series of "aquifer atlases" was...
