As part of the U.S. Geological Survey 's investigations of the hydrology and geology in the Front Range Urban Corridor of Colorado, hydrologic data for water-table aquifers in the Colorado Springs--Castle Rock area were collected and compiled during 1976-77. These data, consisting of records for 157 wells and 47 springs...
Summary of hydrologic data collected during 1976 in Dade County, Florida
John E. Hull
1978, Open-File Report 78-883
During 1976 rainfall was 1.58 inches below the long-term average. Ground-water levels ranged from 0.4 foot above to 0.5 foot below average. The highest and lowest ground water for the year were both 1 foot below their long-term averages. In the Hialeah-Miami Springs area, water levels in wells near the...
Results and interpretation of exploratory drilling near the Picacho Fault, south-central Arizona
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-1016
Modern surface faulting along the Picacho fault, east of Picacho, Arizona, has been attributed to ground-water withdrawal. In September 1977, three exploratory test holes were drilled 5 km east of Picacho and across the Picacho fault to investigate subsurface conditions and the mechanism of the faulting. The holes were logged...

R. R. Cruz
1978, Open-File Report 78-553
Ground-water data were collected in 1977 at White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. Near the Post Headquarters water-level declines for the period 1968-77 declined about 20 feet. Total ground-water pumpage at White Sands Missile Range for 1977 was 2,146 acre-feet, 93 acre-feet more than in 1976. Wells at...

Erosion, sediment discharge, and channel morphology in the Upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia
Robert E. Faye, W.R. Carey, J. K. Stamer, R.L. Kleckner
1978, Open-File Report 78-576
Average annual rates of sheet erosion and sediment discharge were computed for several watersheds in the Upper Chattahoochee River basin in Georgia. Erosion yields ranged from about 900 to 6,000 tons per year per square mile in nine watersheds and were greatest where land use is largely agricultural or transitional....
Water level measurements in 52 shallow boreholes in the San Francisco Bay region
Edward F. Roth
1978, Open-File Report 78-935
Water-level measurements have been read in 52 cased boreholes in the San Francisco bay region. These measurements are compared to water-table depths determined by P-wave velocity. A velocity in excess of 1200 m/s is taken as the depth of the upper surface of the water table. This method works best...
