Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
G. L. Giese, Hugh B. Wilder, Garald G. Parker Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-46
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent intensively-farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, saltwater intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too-high or too-low...
Hydrogeologic data from the northern Powder River Basin, southeastern Montana
Steven E. Slagle, James R. Stimson
1979, Open-File Report 79-1332
Hydrologic and geologic data have been collected as part of energy-related projects conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in the northern Powder River basin of southeastern Montana. Records of 1924 stock, domestic, irrigation, public supply and test wells are tabulated in the report. The data include well location, depth of...
Reconnaissance snow surveys of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, April 1977 and April-May 1978
Charles E. Sloan, Dennis Trabant, William Glude
1979, Open-File Report 79-1342
Reconnaissance snow surveys of the NPRA (National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska) were made in April 1977 and April-May 1978 to ascertain general snow characteristics and distribution patterns. Thirty-nine sites in 1977 and forty-one sites in 1978 were sampled to determine snow depth, density, structure, and snow-soil interface temperature. In addition,...
Suspended- and bedload-sediment transport in the Snake and Clearwater rivers in the vicinity of Lewiston, Idaho, August 1976 through July 1978
Michael L. Jones, Harold R. Seitz
1979, Open-File Report 79-417
Impoundment of water in the Snake River and Clearwater River arms behind Lower Granite Dam (see cover map) began in June 1975. At this time, Lower Granite Reservoir and Lock facilities, constructed by the USACE (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), Walla Walla District, became operational. Construction and operation of this...
Ground-water quality in the upper Santa Ana River basin, southern California
Lawrence A. Eccles
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-113
The principal ground-water quality problems in the Santa Ana River basin, as determined from two samplings (1968-69 and 1977-78), are high concentrations of dissolved solids in general and nitrate-nitrogen in particular. The distribution of dissolved solids exceeding 800 milligrams per liter was smaller in area in 1977-78 than in 1968-69....
Water resources of the Swinomish Indian Reservation, Washington
B. W. Drost
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-12
The Swinomish Indian Reservation occupies 17 mi2on Fidalgo Island, northwestern Washington. Six square miles are underlain by mudflats or low-lying alluvial deposits, and are not part of the study area. An appraisal of the water resources of the reservation was made because the Swinomish Tribal Community expects rapid economic and...
Ecological and physiological/toxicological effects of petroleum on aquatic birds: A summary of research activities FY76 through FY78
Lucille F. Stickel, Michael P. Dieter
1979, FWS/OBS 79/23
Oil and gas development and exploration in marine coastal areas and the Great Lakes will result in unavoidable spills of polluting oil. Although large oil spills may kill thousands of birds and stimulate much public concern, the bulk of oil that reaches aquatic environmentS released in the course of normal operations,...
Comparison of selected cultural, physical, and water-quality characteristics of lakes in Washington
Gilbert Carl Bortleson, N. P. Dion
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-62
This report presents comparisons and a graphical overview of the relative magnitude and the regional and statewide distribution of 19 selected cultural, physical, and water-quality characteristics measured in a reconnaissance study of several hundred lakes in Washington. The selected characteristics presented for each lake include types of land use in...
Mid- and North Atlantic multichannel seismic reflection profiles, 7, 8 A, B, and C, 12 E, F, G, H, I, and J, and 13 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1979, Open-File Report 78-685
Available are four multichannel profiles collected by Digicon Geophysical Corporation in 1975 using a 48-channel streamer (3600 m long), and a 27.9 cubic liter airgun array. They were processed in Denver on the Phoenix "I" by William C. Petterson. The processing includes demultiplexing and resampling, geometry and common-depth-point, definition, velocity...

Robert F. Gilmore, Linda-Lee Harris, Lisa D. Tennison
Katherine M. Reed, editor(s)
1979, Circular 804-A
This circular describes the 1979 programs of the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska. The mission of the Geological Survey is to identify the Nation 's land, water, energy, and mineral resources; to classify federally-owned mineral lands and water-power sites; to resolve the exploration and development of energy and natural resources...
Red Cedar River basin, Wisconsin: Low-flow characteristics
W.A. Gebert
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-29
Low-flow characteristics in the Red Cedar River basin, Wis., where surplus water may be diverted, and methods to determine low-flow characteristics at additional sites are presented. The low-flow characteristics were determined by various methods at 71 sites. For the three gaging stations in the basin, frequency analysis was used to...
