Approximate water-level changes in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 1977-80 and 1979-80
R.K. Gabrysch, C.E. Ranzau Jr.
1980, Open-File Report 80-337
This report, which was prepared in cooperation with the cities of Houston and Galveston, the Harris Galveston Coastal Subsidence Distract, and the Texas Department of Water Resources, presents data on water-level changes during 1977-80 and 1979-80 in the Chicot and Evangelina aquifers (figs. 1-4).  During these periods, ground water pumping...
Water quality of Bear Creek basin, Jackson County, Oregon
Loren A. Wittenberg, Stuart W. McKenzie
1980, Open-File Report 80-158
Water-quality data identify surface-water-quality problems in Bear Creek basin, Jackson County, Oreg., where possible, their causes or sources. Irrigation and return-flow data show pastures are sources of fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria and sinks for suspended sediment and nitrite-plus-nitrate nitrogen. Bear Creek and its tributaries have dissolved oxygen and...
Calibration of a distributed routing rainfall-runoff model at four urban sites near Miami, Florida
W. Harry Doyle Jr., Jeffrey E. Miller
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-1
Urban stormwater data from four Miami, Fla. catchments were collected and compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey and were used for testing the applicability of deterministic modeling for characterizing stormwater flows from small land-use areas. A description of model calibration and verification is presented for: (1) A 40.8 acre single-family...
Sediment transport of streams tributary to San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays, California, 1909-66
George Porterfield
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-64
A review of historical sedimentation data is presented, results of sediment-data collection for water years 1957-59 are summarized, and long-term sediment-discharge estimates from a preliminary report are updated. Comparison of results based on 3 years of data to those for the 10 water years, 1957-66, provides an indication of the...
Ground-water availability near Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana
Michael Planert
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-34
A 3-year study to determine the groundwater potential of confined glacial aquifers in a large part of Allen County, Ind., was begun in July 1974 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Mapping of outwash sands and gravels delineated two distinct layers of sand and gravel in the southern and eastern parts...
Seismic evidence for an extensive gas-bearing layer at shallow depth, offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Gary Wynn Boucher, Erk Reimnitz, Edward W. Kempema
1980, Open-File Report 80-809
High resolution seismic reflection data recorded offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were processed digitally to determine the reflectivity structure of the uppermost layers of the seafloor. A prominent reflector found at 27 m below the mudline (water depths 7-9 m) has a negative reflection coefficient greater than 0.5. The large...
Baseline water quality of Schmidt, Hornbeam, and Horseshoe Lakes, Dakota County, Minnesota
G. A. Payne
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-3
Three lakes in Dakota County were sampled five times during an 18-month period to determine baseline water quality prior to construction of an interstate highway. Results of physical measurements and chemical analyses showed that the lakes were shallow, nonstratified, and nutrient enriched. Considerable seasonal variations in dissolved solids, nutrient, and...
The handling, hazards, and maintenance of heavy liquids in the geologic laboratory
Phoebe L. Hauff, Joseph Airey
1980, Circular 827
In geologic laboratories the organic heavy liquids bromoform, methylene iodide, tetrabromoethane, and clerici compounds have been used for years in mineral separation processes. Because the volume of use of these compounds is low, insufficient data is available on their toxic properties. This report is an attempt to summarize the known...
An analysis of the magnitude and frequency of floods on Oahu, Hawaii
R. H. Nakahara
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-45
An analysis of available peak-flow data for the island of Oahu, Hawaii, was made by using multiple regression techniques which related flood-frequency data to basin and climatic characteristics for 74 gaging stations on Oahu. In the analysis, several different groupings of stations were investigated, including divisions by geographic location and...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Caribbean region
Fernando Gómez-Gómez, James E. Heisel
1980, Professional Paper 813-U
The Caribbean Region consists of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (8,990 km2 (square kilometers)) and the U.S. Virgin Islands (350 km2). The mean annual precipitation varies locally from a high of 5,000 mm (millimeters) to a low of 730 mm. Maximum precipitation occurs within the peaks of Sierra de Luquillo,...
Chemical and microbiological monitoring of a sole-source aquifer intended for artificial recharge, Nassau County, New York
Brian G. Katz, Gail E. Mallard
1980, Open-File Report 80-567
In late 1980, approximately 4 million gallons per day of highly treated wastewater will be used to recharge the groundwater reservoir in central Nassau County through a system of 10 recharge basins and 5 shallow injection wells. To evaluate the impact of large-scale recharge with reclaimed water on groundwater quality,...
Supplemental data from the Ennis and other thermal-springs areas, Southwestern Montana, 1978-80
Robert B. Leonard, Wayne A. Wood
1980, Open-File Report 80-1182
Hydrogeologic data were collected principally during 1978-80 in eight hot-spring areas, in the Marysville geothermal test well, in the Butte Mine and in the Bitterroot and Missoula River valleys to provide a basis for evaluating the geothermal potential of the areas. Measurements are tabulated for subsurface temperatures, water levels, rates...
Potentiometric surface of the Floridan Aquifer, Southwest Florida Water Management District, September 1980
D. K. Yobbi, W. M. Woodham, George R. Schiner
1980, Open-File Report 80-1280
A September 1980 potentiometric-surface map of the Southwest Florida Water Management District depicts the annual high water-level period. Potentiometric levels rose 1 to 31 feet between May 1980 and September 1980 in the citrus and farming sections of southern Hillsborough, northern Hardee, southwestern Polk, northwestern DeSoto, and Manatee Counties. Water...

Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1980, Water Data Report LA-80-1
Water resources data for the 1980 water year for Louisiana consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. This report, in three volumes, contains records for water discharge at...
