An appraisal of surface-water quality in the Alameda Creek Basin, California, October 1974-June 1979
L.E. Lopp
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-46
Areal and seasonal variations in the quality of surface water in the Alameda Creek basin, California., from 1974 to 1979 were analyzed to determine the effects of wastewater discharges and imported water releases. Statistically significant differences were found among mean values of constituents in streamflow below the treated wastewater discharge...

Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey in Arkansas, fiscal year 1981
1981, Open-File Report 81-1003
During fiscal year 1981 there were 20 water-resources investigations in progress by the Arkansas District of the U. S. Geological Survey 's Water Resources Division. Investigations that mainly involved data collection included surface-water gaging, water-level measuring, water-quality sampling, sediment sampling, and water-use inventorying. Interpretive studies included three that were principally...
Ground-water hydrology of strip-mine areas in eastern Ohio (conditions during mining of two watersheds in Coshocton and Muskingum counties)
John O. Helgesen, Allan C. Razem
1981, Open-File Report 81-913
Ground-water conditions during coal strip mining in two small watersheds are described as part of an ongoing study of effects of mining on hydrologic systems. Both watersheds were underlain by stratified sedimentary rocks containing two perched aquifers above clay beds which underlaid the major coal seams. Mining involved removing the...
Approximate ground-water-level contours, April 1981, for the Soquel-Aptos area, Santa Cruz County, California
Richard M. Bloyd
1981, Open-File Report 81-680
Ground-water levels in selected wells were measured in the Soquel-Aptos, Calif., area in April 1981. On the basis of these measurements approximate ground-water-level contours were constructed. The general direction of ground-water movement in the Soquell-Aptos area is from the ridges in the northern part of the area, toward the adjacent...

The purpose of this report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and the Texas Department of Water Resources, is to show the altitudes of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area. The...
Geologic structure, hydrology, and water quality of the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer in the Denver basin, Colorado
Stanley G. Robson
1981, Hydrologic Atlas 650
The Denver ground-water basin underlies a 6,700-square-mile area extending from Greeley in the north to Colorado Springs in the south, and from the Front Range in the west to near Limon in the east. The four major bedrock aquifers that occur in the basin are the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer (the...
Use of flow-duration curves to evaluate effects of urbanization on streamflow patterns on Long Island, New York
Keith R. Prince
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-114
Streamflow patterns on Long Island, N.Y., have been changing over the last three decades in response to eastward population growth and urbanization. Flow-duration curves for nine streams in Nassau and Suffolk Counties indicate that, during this time, streams in urbanized areas have had increased peak flows and decreased base flows,...
Effects of a cattle feedlot on ground-water quality in the South Platte River Valley near Greeley, Colorado
Ronald G. Borman
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-83
Changes in water quality in an alluvial aquifer resulting from the operation of a feedlot stocked with 90,000 cattle have been minimal. Monitoring water quality in 19 observation wells from April 1974, prior to the operation of the feedlot, to June 1978, after about 4 years of operation, indicates that...
Data file: the 1976 Atlantic Margin Coring (AMCOR) Project of the U.S. Geological Survey

1981, Open-File Report 81-239
In 1976, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted the Atlantic Margin Coring Project (AMCOR) to obtain information on stratigraphy, hydrology and water chemistry, mineral resources other than petroleum hydrocarbons, and geotechnical engineering properties at sites widely distributed along the Continental Shelf and Slope of the Eastern United States (Hathaway and others,...

The water-table contours on this map were constructed from water-level control derived from an inventory of springs and wells in the area, U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps, and from data presented by Rogers (1967). Because of the available water-level control and the rough terrain throughout the area, the delineation of...
