1983, Open-File Report 83-400
Volcanoes and the products of volcanoes have a much greater impact on people and society than is generally perceived. Although commonly destructive, volcanic eruptions can be spectacularly beautiful and, more importantly, they have produced the very air we breathe, the water we drink, and our most fertile soils. Volcanoes also...

Richard A. Smith, Richard B. Alexander
1983, Circular 910
Ten- to 15-year water-quality records from a network of headwater sampling stations show small declines in stream sulfate concentrations at stations in the northeastern quarter of the Nation and small increases in sulfate at most southeastern and western sites. The regional pattern of stream sulfate trends is similar to that...

Changes in ground-water withdrawals, water levels, and quality of water occurred in the artesian aquifers of the Sevier Desert, Utah during 1963-81. Ground-water withdrawals increased from an average of 9,500 acre-feet (11.7 cubic hectometers) per year between 1951 and 1963 to an average of 27,500 acre-feet (33.9 cubic hectometers) per...
Subsidence from underground mining; environmental analysis and planning considerations
Fitzhugh T. Lee, John F. Abel
1983, Circular 876
Subsidence, a universal process that occurs in response to the voids created by extracting solids or liquids from beneath the Earth's surface, is controlled by many factors including mining methods, depth of extraction, thickness of deposit, and topography, as well as the in situ properties of the rock mass above...

Wayne B. Solley, Edith B. Chase, William B. Mann IV
1983, Circular 1001
Water use in the United States in 1980 was estimated to be an average of 450 bgd (billion gallons per day) of fresh and saline water for offstream uses- an 8-percent increase from the 1975 estimate and a 22-percent increase from the 1970 estimate. Average per capita use for all...
