Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources– South Atlantic-Gulf region
D.J. Cedarstrom, E. H. Boswell, G. R. Tarver
1979, Professional Paper 813-O
Precipitation in the 270,000-square-mile South Atlantic-Gulf Region ranges from 44 to 80 inches, and the average runoff is about 15 inches. The ground-water discharge that forms the base flow of streams is conservatively estimated to be about 78,000 million gallons per day the equivalent of about 6 inches of precipitation....
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...
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....

Effect of Surface Coal Mining on the Hydrology of Crooked and Turkey Creek Basins, Jefferson County, Alabama
Celso Puente, John G. Newton
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-91
Streamflow, sediment yield, and water quality were monitored from October 1975 through May 1977 to determine the impact of surface coal mining on the hydrology of Crooked and Turkey Creek basins in Jefferson County, Alabama. The basins are in the northeast part of the Warrior coal field. Coal is and...

Physical characteristics of suspended sediments, South Texas Continental Shelf
Gerald L. Shideler
1979, Open-File Report 79-362
This report presents the results of a three-year study of suspended sediments within the South Texas OCS region. The investigations were a part of the environmental studies of the South Texas Outer Continental shelf sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management. The physical properties of the suspended particulate system studied...
Biological and microbiological assessment of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia
Bruce W. Lium, J. K. Stamer, T. A. Ehlke, R.E. Faye, R.N. Cherry
1979, Circular 796
Biological and microbiological studies were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey as a part of the Intensive River-Quality Assessment studies of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia. Phytoplankton concentrations in cells per milliliter (cells/mL) were generally higher downstream from Atlanta than upstream. The highest concentrations, mostly blue-green algae, occurred in...
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....
Instrumentation of urban hydrology monitoring sites in southeast Florida
Jack Hardee
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-37
An instrumentation system developed and built in laboratories of the U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Va., has been used since 1974 to collect synchronized rainfall, runoff, and water-quality data from urban basins. A number of field modifications were made to adapt the system to local hydrologic conditions and for collection of...

Hydrologic and related data for water-supply planning in an intensive-study area, northeastern Wichita County, Kansas
Jack Kume, L. E. Dunlap, E. D. Gutentag, J.G. Thomas
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-105
Data are presented that result from an intensive geohydrologic study for water-supply planning in a 12-square-mile area in northeastern Wichita County, Kansas. These data include records of wells, test drilling, chemical analyses, ground-water levels, rainfall, soilmoisture, well yield, solar radiation, crop yield, and crop acreage. Data indicate that water levels...

Analysis of water-level fluctuations of Lakes Winona and Winnemissett-- two landlocked lakes in a karst terrane in Volusia County, Florida
G.H. Hughes
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-55
The water levels of Lakes Winona and Winnemissett in Volusia County, Fla., correlate reasonably well during dry spells but only poorly during wet spells. Disparities develop mostly at times when the lake levels rise abruptly owing to rainstorms passing over the lake basins. The lack of correlation is attributed to...
