St. George basin is a long (300 km), narrow (30-50 km) graben whose long axis strikes northwestward, parallel to the continental margin of the southern Bering Sea. Located near the Pribilof Islands, and beneath the virtually featureless Bering Sea shelf, the basin is filled with more than 10 km of...

A digital model calibrated to conditions in Cedar Creek was used to develop alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana...
Sediment deposition in the White River Reservoir, northwestern Wisconsin
W. G. Batten, S. M. Hindall
1979, Open-File Report 79-1330
The history of deposition in the White River Reservoir was reconstructed from a study of sediment in the reservoir. Suspended-sediment concentrations, particle size, and streamflow characteristics were measured at gaging stations upstream and downstream from the reservoir from November 1975 through September 1977- Characteristics of the sediments were determined from...
Introduction to monitoring dynamic environmental phenomena of the world using satellite data collection systems, 1978
William Douglas Carter, Richard W. Paulson
1979, Circular 803
The rapid development of satellite technology, especially in the area of radio transmission and imaging systems, makes it possible to monitor dynamic surface phenomena of the Earth in considerable detail. The monitoring systems that have been developed are compatible with standard monitoring systems such as snow, stream, and rain gages;...
Impact of flow regulation and powerplant effluents on the flow and temperature regimes of the Chattahoochee River— Atlanta to Whitesburg, Georgia
Robert E. Faye, Harvey E. Jobson, Larry F. Land
1979, Professional Paper 1108
A calibrated and verified transient flow-temperature model was used to evaluate the effects of flow regulation and powerplant loadings on the natural temperature regime of the Chattahoochee River in northeast Georgia. Estimates were made of both instantaneous and average natural temperatures in the river during an 8-day period in August...
Reconnaissance evaluation of surface-water quality in Eagle, Grand, Jackson, Pitkin, Routt, and Summit Counties, Colorado
Linda J. Britton
1979, Open-File Report 79-420
Water-quality data were collected from streams in a six-county area to determine if the streams were polluted and, if so, to determine the sources of the pollution. Eighty-three stream sites were selected for sampling in Eagle, Grand, Jackson, Pitkin, Routt, and Summit Counties. Also included are data from 28 sites...

A study of global sand seas
Edwin D. McKee, editor(s)
1979, Professional Paper 1052
The birth of the idea that led to this publication on "Global Sand Seas" dates back to the late 1920's. At that time I was engaged in a study of the Coconino Sandstone of Arizona's Grand Canyon. Considerable controversy existed then as to whether this sandstone was a subaqueous deposit or...
Water resources of the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation and vicinity, Riverside County, California
Anthony Buono, W. R. Moyle, Patricia Dana
1979, Open-File Report 79-1172
Additional water for irrigation is needed by the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation, Riverside County, California. Water in the area is derived from precipitation, which averages 12 inches annually, on three subbasins nearly surrounding the 17-square-mile reservation. No ground water flows in from outside the area. A supply well that taps...
An appraisal of pumping effects on the Edgeley Aquifer, La Moure County, North Dakota, as determined by a digital model
M. R. Burkart
1979, Open-File Report 79-748
A finite-difference digital model simulated hydrologic conditions in the Edgeley aquifer, which is an unconfined glacial-drift aquifer. The calibrated model supported the hypothesis that under natural steady-state conditions, recharge is from precipitation and discharge is through evapotranspiration. This hypothesis was further supported by comparing simulated water levels to observed water...
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,...

Ground-water levels in most wells did not change significantly from 1974 to 1977 in the Stovepipe Wells Hotel area. The average water-level decline was less than 0.10 foot between August 1974 and August 1977 in 10 observation wells. Water-level contours show a depression centered on the two pumping wells, but...
