The potential for developing ground-water supplies in the Pescadero area, San Mateo County, California
J. P. Akers
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-6
Adequate supplies of ground water for municipal use generally are not available within a 3-mile radius of Pescadero, San Mateo County, California. The required quantity of 100 gallons per minute probably could be obtained from one or more wells in the alluvium along Pescadero Creek; however, the quality of the...

Water-quality assessment of the Cypress Creek watershed, Warrick County, Indiana
Linda L. Bobo, Charles A. Peters
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-35
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service needs chemical, biological, microbiological, and hydrological data to prepare an environmental evaluation of the water quality in the Cypress Creek watershed, Warrick County, Ind., before plans can be devised to (1) improve water quality, (2) minimize flooding, (3) reduce sedimentation, and (4) provide adequate outlets...
Geochemistry of fluoride in the Black Creek aquifer system of Horry and Georgetown Counties, South Carolina — And its physiological implications
Allen L. Zack
1980, Water Supply Paper 2067
High concentrations of fluoride in ground-water supplies in certain areas of Horry and Georgetown Counties, S.C., have been the cause of dental fluorosis (tooth mottling) among persons who have lived in these areas and have ingested the water as children. Geochemical evidence and laboratory experiments demonstrate that fluorapatite in the...
Effects of urban runoff and wastewater effluent on Wilsons Creek and James River near Springfield, Missouri
Wayne R. Berkas
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-27
Statistical analysis on water-quality parameters from James River upstream and downstream from the confluence of Wilsons Creek shows a significant difference for all parameters except temperature and dissolved silica at the 0.05 probability level. Regression analysis shows correlation for discharge with dissolved sodium, dissolved chloride, and dissolved potassium, and for...
Ground-water hydrology of the Sagebrush Flat area as related to the discharge of Rattlesnake Springs, Grant and Douglas counties, Washington
K.L. Walters
1980, Open-File Report 79-1530
In 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State of Washington Department of Ecology, investigated the hydrology of the Sagebrush Flat area as it relates to Rattlesnake Springs. Rattlesnake Springs and all known wells on Sagebrush Flat obtain water from basalt aquifers. The wells tap aquifers at or...

Calibration and testing of selected portable flowmeters for use on large irrigation systems
Richard R. Luckey, Frederick J. Heimes, Neville G. Gaggiani
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-72
Existing methods for measuring discharge of irrigation systems in the High Plains region are not suitable to provide the pumpage data required by the High Plains Regional Aquifer System Analysis. Three portable flowmeters that might be suitable for obtaining fast and accurate discharge measure-ments on large irrigation systems were tested...

Isolation of uranium mill tailings and their component radionuclides from the biosphere; some earth science perspectives
Edward Landa
1980, Circular 814
Uranium mining and milling is an expanding activity in the. Western United States. Although the milling process yields a uranium concentrate, the large volume of tailings remaining contains about 85 percent of the radioactivity originally associated with the ore. By virtue of the physical and chemical processing of the ore...
Water-quality monitoring of three major tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay: Interim data report
David J. Lang, David Grason
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-78
The U.S. Geological Survey is monitoring the water quality of three major tributaries to Chesapeake Bay at their fall lines to obtain estimates of constituent inputs potentially available to the bay. The monitoring sites are: Susquehanna River at Conowingo, Md.; Potomac River at Washington, D.C.; and James River at Cartersville,...

Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the Ferron sandstone aquifer near Emery, Utah
Daniel J. Morrissey, Gregory C. Lines, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-62
A three-dimensional finite-difference computer model of the Ferron sand-stone aquifer was used to simulate ground-water flow in the Emery coal field in east-central Utah. The model also was used to predict the effects of pro-posed surface mining and the resulting mine dewatering on potentiometric sur-faces of the aquifer. The model...

Investigation of artificial recharge of aquifers in Nebraska
William F. Lichtler, David I. Stannard, Edwin Kouma
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-93
Large withdrawals of ground water for irrigation are causing progressive declines of ground-water levels in some areas of Nebraska. An investigation was conducted to determine the technical feasibility of artificially recharging aquifers through wells and through surface spreading by means of impoundments, pits, and canals. Information gained from a literature...
