Techniques for water demand analysis and forecasting: Puerto Rico, a case study
E. D. Attanasi, E.R. Close, M. A. Lopez
1975, Open-File Report 75-94
The rapid economic growth of the Commonwealth-of Puerto Rico since 1947 has brought public pressure on Government agencies for rapid development of public water supply and waste treatment facilities. Since 1945 the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority has had the responsibility for planning, developing and operating water supply and...
ERTS imagery for ground-water investigations
Gerald K. Moore, Morris Deutsch
1975, Ground Water (13) 214-226
ERTS imagery offers the first opportunity to apply moderately high-resolution satellite data to the nationwide study of water resources. This imagery is both a tool and a form of basic data. Like other tools and basic data, it should be considered for use in ground-water investigations. The main advantage of...

1975, Report
This report summarizes sediment data collected at 11 sites in the Umpqua River basin from 1956 to 1973 and updates a report by C. A. Onions (1969) of estimated sediment yields in the basin from 1956-67. Onions' report points out that the suspended-sediment data, collected during the 1956-67 period, were...
Water and the South Florida environment
Howard Klein, J.T. Armbruster, B. F. McPherson, H.J. Freiberger
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-24
Ecological problems are a major concern to Florida as well as to the Nation. National attention was focused on these problems in September 1968, when the Port Authority of Dade County began to con-struct a jetport for supersonic aircraft on a 39-square-mile tract 6 miles north of Everglades National Park...

1975, Journal of Petrology (16) 110-133
The major element chemical compositions of lava from four eruptions on the east rift zone of Kilauea between August 1968 and October 1971 reflect three petrologic processes:Production of chemically distinct batches of magma in the mantle.Separation of olivine, augite, and plagioclase from liquid during flow in the rift-zone conduits.Mixing...
Crustal movement investigations
James C. Savage
1975, Reviews of Geophysics (13) 263-265
Studies of horizontal crustal movement using conventional geodetic methods have been considerably expanded in the quadrennium 1971–1974. The basic fault monitor Geodimeter network now covers most of the major faults in California as well as the zone of faulting that extends into Nevada. Isolated Geodimeter networks in seismic areas of...
Optimal exploitation strategies for an animal population in a Markovian environment: A theory and an example
David R. Anderson
1975, Ecology (56) 1281-1297
Optimal exploitation strategies were studied for an animal population in a Markovian (stochastic, serially correlated) environment. This is a general case and encompasses a number of important special cases as simplifications. Extensive empirical data on the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) were used as an example of general theory. The number of...
Earthquake shaking and damage to buildings
R.A. Page, W. B. Joyner, J.A. Blume
1975, Science (189) 601-608
Ground shaking close to the causative fault of an earthquake is more intense than it was previously believed to be. This raises the possibility that large numbers of buildings and other structures are not sufficiently resistant for the intense levels of shaking that can occur close to the fault. Many...

William D. Carter
1975, Report
The author has identified the following significant results. Work with the Image 100 clearly demonstrates that radiance values of LANDSAT data can be used for correlation of geologic formations across international boundaries.

An empirical note on firm performance in government contract markets
Emil D. Attanasi, S. R. Johnson
1975, The Journal of Industrial Economics (23) 313-320
Public construction and, in particular, highway construction account for a large proportion of the non-defense expenditures by the government. Con- tracts for highway construction are let almost exclusively through a sealed tender process. Competitive bidding is used to encourage price competition. There is, however, a problem in insuring that the...

Usefulness of LANDSAT data for monitoring plant development and range conditions in California's annual grassland
D. M. Carneggie, Stephen D. Degloria, R. N. Colwell
1975, Conference Paper, First comprehensive symposium on the practical application of Earth resources survey data
A network of sampling sites throughout the annual grassland region of California was established to correlate plant growth stages and forage production to climatic and other environmental factors. Plant growth and range conditions were further related to geographic location and seasonal variations. A sequence of LANDSAT data was obtained covering...
A computer-assisted procedure for information processing of geologic field data
Travis Hudson, Gerald Askevold, George Plafker
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 369-375
We have examined several computer systems to see how they could aid information processing of geologic field data. The processing procedure we have chosen combines a systematic note-taking technique, a computer text-editor for creating files of data, and automated printing of selected data or of complete file copies. Traditional text...
