E.L. Krinitzsky, William F. Marcuson
1983, Open-File Report 83-636
This report gives a synopsis of the various tools and techniques used in selecting earthquake ground motion parameters for large dams. It presents 18 charts giving newly developed relations for acceleration, velocity, and duration versus site earthquake intensity for near- and far-field hard and soft sites and earthquakes having magnitudes...
Hydrology of the Jasper (Miocene) Aquifer in the Southeast Texas coastal plain
E.T. Baker
1983, Open-File Report 83-677
The Jasper (Miocene) aquifer is one of several important hydrologic units in the Gulf Coastal Plain. Because the Jasper aquifer underlies shallower aquifers in many areas, regional water withdrawals from the Jasper are not significant; however, it is capable of yielding 3,000 gallons per minute (200 liters per second) or...

Oxygen and strontium isotopic studies of basaltic lavas from the Snake River plain, Idaho
William P. Leeman, Joseph F. Whelan
1983, Open-File Report 83-338
The Snake Creek-Williams Canyon pluton of the southern Snake Range crops out over an area of about 30 km2, about 60 km southeast of Ely, Nev. This Jurassic intrusion displays large and systematic chemical and mineralogical zonation over a horizontal distance of 5 km. Major-element variations compare closely with Dalyls...
Water-quality assessment of Francis E. Walter Reservoir, Luzerne and Carbon counties, Pennsylvania
J. L. Barker
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4032
Water-quality data, both past and present, show that the waters of the upper Lehigh River basin are somewhat acidic, but otherwise are generally of good quality. This report contains a summary of all known water-quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies, as well as a synopsis...

Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1980-82
Robert L. Goemaat, Lionel D. Mize, Dannie E. Spiser
1983, Open-File Report 83-760
In the 1980-82 Climatic Years, the U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, collected ground-water level data in Oklahoma from 1,122 sites in 77 counties. This report presents this data....
Statistical summaries of selected chemical constituents in Kansas ground-water supplies, 1976-81
T.B. Spruill
1983, Open-File Report 83-263
Data on 24 chemical constituents or properties obtained from 766 wells in the Kansas ground-water quality monitoring network between 1976 and 1981 are statistically summarized in this report prepared in cooperation with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Minimum, median, and maximum concentrations and percentage of samples above the...
Water Resources Division in the 1980's

1983, Circular 893
The Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has the principal responsibility within the Federal government for providing hydrologic information and appraising the Nation's water resounds. The Geological Survey is unique among government organizations because it has neither regulatory nor developmental authority--its sole product is information that is made...
Chemical analyses of thermal and nonthermal springs in Lassen Volcanic National Park and vicinity, California
J. M. Thompson
1983, Open-File Report 83-311
Most thermal waters issuing in Lassen Volcanic National Park (LVNP) are acidic (pH =3.5), low-Cl (concentrations =30 mg/L) hot springs which are characteristic of vapor-dominated hydrothermal systems and, as such, are not useful for liquid chemical geothermometry. Thermal waters at Drakesbad and in Little Hot Springs Valley, hot spring localities...

Preliminary stage-discharge relations for Tombigbee River at Gainesville Dam, near Gainesville, Alabama
G. H. Nelson, C. O. Ming
1983, Open-File Report 83-942
The construction of Gainesville Dam and other related channel alterations, completed in 1979, has resulted in changes to the stage-discharge relations in the vicinity. The lack of current-meter measurements, coupled with backwater conditions, makes definition of a single stage-discharge relation impossible. However, limit curves can be defined that would encompass...
Base flow of streams in the outcrop area of southeastern sand aquifer: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi
Virginia Stricker
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4106
The base flow component of streamflow was separated from hydrographs for unregulated streams in the Cretaceous and Tertiary clastic outcrop area of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The base flow values are used in estimating recharge to the sand aquifer. Relations developed between mean annual base flow and stream...
