Henry G. Healy
1980, Open-File Report 80-693
During 1977 and 1978, water levels in the Floridan aquifer throughout most of north and central peninsular Florida rose 1 to 3 feet, based on water levels measured in 380 wells selected from a network of about 5,000 observation wells for which measurements are in the files of the U.S....

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Menominee-Oconto-Peshtigo River basin, Wisconsin, are presented. Included are estimates of low-flow frequency at 12 gaging stations, flow duration at 10 gaging stations, and low-flow frequency characteristics at 23 low-flow partial-record stations and 137 miscellaneous sites. Equations are provided to estimate low-flow characteristics at ungaged...
The heliothermic lake: a direct method of collecting and storing solar energy
Douglas W. Kirkland, J. Platt Bradbury, Walter E. Dean
1980, Open-File Report 80-807
Heliothermic lakes contain a sun-heated layer of warm, saline water beneath a surface layer of cooler, less saline water. The two layers are separated by a chemocline, a stratum in which salinity increases progressively with depth. The chemocline, the position of which varies from lake to lake, functions as a...
Hydrogeology of the Seldovia area, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson, Wesley R. Danskin
1980, Open-File Report 80-952
Surficial materials in the Seldovia area, Alaska, are mapped as glacial drift over sedimentary bedrock, glacial drift over igneous and metamorphic bedrock, valley-bottom, alluvium, alluvial fan deposits, beach and intertidal deposits, and peat. Unconsolidated materials are generally less than 10 feet thick except in well-drained glacial deposits along the Seldovia-Jakolof...
Graded storm sand layers offshore from the Yukon Delta, Alaska
C. Hans Nelson
1980, Open-File Report 80-712
The northern Bering Sea has a history of severe storm surges. The most recent, and perhaps the worst in historical times, occurred in November, 1974 (Fathauer, 1975). Evidence of storm surge events is exhibited in sea-floor stratigraphy as well as shoreline flooding and indicates that significant widespread changes in sea-floor...
Type curves for selected problems of flow to wells in confined aquifers
J.E. Reed
1980, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-B3
This report presents type curves and related material for 11 conditions of flow to wells m confined aquifers. These solutions, compiled from hydrologic literature, span an interval of time from Theis (1935) to Papadopulos, Bredehoeft, and Cooper (1973). Solutions are presented for constant discharge, constant drawdown, and variable discharge for pumping wells that fully penetrate leaky...

Chemical quality of water from community systems in New York, November 1970 to May 1975
Robert H. Cartwright, James A. Ziarno
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-77
Chemical analyses of 2,802 water samples from 784 of approximately 1,500 community water systems in the State of New York are presented. The data were collected from November 1970 to May 1975 and were originally released in a series of four U.S. Geological Survey open-file reports during the mid-1970's. The...
Geological studies of the COST No. B-3 well, United States mid-Atlantic continental slope area
Peter A. Scholle
1980, Circular 833
The COST No. B-3 well is the first deep stratigraphic test to be drilled on the Continental Slope off the Eastern United States. The well was drilled in 2,686 ft (819 m) of water in the Baltimore Canyon trough area to a total depth of 15,820 ft (4,844 m) below...
Ground-water appraisal in northwestern Big Stone County, west-central Minnesota
W.G. Soukup
1980, Open-File Report 80-568
The development of ground water for irrigation in northwestern Big Stone County has not kept up with development in other irrigable areas of the State. This is due, in part, to the absence of extensive surficial aquifers and the difficulty in locating buried aquifers. Test augering south of Beardsley outlined a...

Four reference soil and rock samples for measuring element availability in the Western Energy Regions
J.G. Crock, R. C. Severson
1980, Circular 841
Attaining acceptable precision in extractable element determinations is more difficult than in total element determinations. In total element determinations, dissolution of the sample is qualitatively checked by the clarity of the solution and the absence of residues. These criteria cannot be used for extracts. Possibilities for error are introduced in...

The water table in the surficial aquifer and the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer in a 1,200-square-mile area in west-central Florida are mapped semiannually by the U.S. Geological Survey. Maps are based on water levels measured in wells each May to coincide with seasonal low levels, and each September...

Multiyear Low Flow Of Streams In Northeastern Kansas
W. J. Carswell Jr., S.V. Bond
1980, Open-File Report 80-734
Many existing water supplies in northeastern Kansas are proving inadequate to meet current and expanded future needs. One of the methods by which the use of highly variable streamflow in the area can be evaluated is with the aid of multiyear low-flow frequency information. Using data form 19 streamflow-gaging stations...
