Fluid inclusions in salt from the Rayburn and Vacherie domes, Louisiana
Edwin Roedder, H. E. Belkin
1979, Open-File Report 79-1675
Core samples from the Rayburn and Vacherie salt domes in Louisiana were examined for fluid inclusions, in connection with the possible use of such domes for nuclear waste storage sites. Three types of fluid inclusions were found, brine, compressed gas, and oil (in decreasing volume percent abundance). The total amount...

Streamflow simulation studies of the Hillsborough, Alafia, and Anclote Rivers, west-central Florida
J.F. Turner Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-102
A modified version of the Georgia Tech Watershed Model was applied for the purpose of flow simulation in three large river basins of west-central Florida. The model was calibrated for six streamflow stations located in these basins using 4 years of historical and current rainfall, runoff, and estimated evapotranspiration data....

Ground water in the vicinity of Capulin, New Mexico
D.L. Hart Jr., Christian Smith
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-79
The alluvial deposits within a closed basin near Capulin, New Mexico, are estimated to have 189,000 acre-feet of water in storage. These deposits have an estimated average transmissivity of 400 feet squared per day and represent the major source of ground water. Well yields range from a few gallons per...
Estimation of floods of various frequencies for the small ephemeral streams in eastern Washington
W.L. Haushild
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-81
Equations were developed to estimate the magnitude of floods for various occurrence frequencies at ungaged sites on ephemeral streams that drain small, relatively undeveloped basins in the semiarid part of eastern Washington. The equations were developed from regression analyses that used the logarithms of the longitude indexes of gaged sites,...

Water resources data of the Seward area, Alaska
Larry L. Dearborn, Gary S. Anderson, Chester Zenone
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-11
Favorable geohydrologic conditions in the Seward area provide several choices for developing additional water supplies. Abundant stream runoff and the prospects for expanded well-field development in the Jap Creek alluvial fan, as well as other similar fans, allow a selection of future water sources based on factors other than the...

Status of surface-water modeling in the U.S. Geological Survey
Marshall E. Jennings, Nobuhiro Yotsukura
1979, Circular 809
The U.S. Geological Survey is active in the development and use of models for the analysis of various types of surface-water problems. Types of problems for which models have been, or are being developed, include categories such as the following: (1)specialized hydraulics, (2)flow routing in streams, estuaries, lakes, and reservoirs,...

Floods in Georgia, magnitude and frequency: Techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Georgia with compilation of flood data through 1974
McGlone Price
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-137
Regional relations are defined for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods having recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years on streams with natural flow in Georgia. Multiple-regression analyses were used to define the relationship between the flood-discharge frequency of annual peak discharges for streams draining...
Progress report on water resources of the Tulalip Indian Reservation, Washington
B. W. Drost
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-31
Updated information on the Tulalip Indian Reservation 's resources indicates that the newly developed tribal well field yielded about 100 million gallons of water during August 1975-October 1976. At 16 or 17 streamflow sites, mean annual discharges during the 1976 water year exceeded those of the 1975 water year by...
Distribution of nitrate and related nitrogen species in the unsaturated zone, Redlands and vicinity, San Bernardino County, California
John M. Klein, Wesley L. Bradford
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-60
Nitrogen in the unsaturated soil zone in the vicinity of Redlands in San Bernardino County, Calif., has been suspected as the source of nitrate in water from wells. Plans have been made to recharge the aquifer with imported surface water. If this occurs, the rising water table will intercept soluble...
Saline-seep development in the Hailstone Basin, northern Stillwater County, Montana
Barney D. Lewis, Stephen G. Custer, Marvin R. Miller
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-107
As a result of an increase in saline seep occurrence in Montana, a study was begun in 1974 to determine the hydrogeology of saline seeps in the Hailstone basin. The aquifer is composed of colluvium of Holocene age. The impermeable Cretaceous Niobrara Formation underlies the saturated zone basinwide. The ground-water...
Arsenic, nitrate, iron, and hardness in ground water, Chena Ridge vicinity, Fairbanks, Alaska

1979, Open-File Report 80-49
The report presents all data on hardness, iron, nitrate and arsenic in well water in the Chena Ridge area of Fairbanks, Alaska, through June 1979. Concentrations range as follows: arsenic - 0 to 28 micrograms per liter; nitrate - 0 to 20 milligrams per liter; iron - 0 to 18...
Water quality of selected streams in the coal area of east-central Montana
P. W. McKinley
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-142
In October 1975 the U.S. Geological Survey established a network of nine data-collection stations on eight streams in Montana to monitor water quality in potential coal-mining areas. The report summarizes and evaluates the water-quality data that have been collected during the first 2 years (3 years for 1 station) of...

Experimental salinity alleviation at Malaga Bend of the Pecos River, Eddy County, New Mexico
John S. Havens, D. W. Wilkins
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-4
Upward-leaking brine, from a confined aquifer at the base of the Rustler Formation, mixes with fresher water in a shallow aquifer, resulting in discharge to the Pecos River in southern Eddy County, New Mexico, of about 0.5 cubic feet per second of saturated brine. Pumping brine from the aquifer at...
Preliminary report on Tertiary volcanism and uranium mineralization in the Thomas Range and northern Drum Mountains, Juab County, Utah
David Allen Lindsey
1979, Open-File Report 79-1076
The Thomas Range and northern Drum Mountains have a history of volcanism, faulting, and mineralization that began about 42 m.y. ago. Volcanic activity and mineralization in the area can be divided into three stages according to the time-related occurrence of rock types, trace element associations, and chemical nature of mineralization....
