Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Celso Puente
1976, Open-File Report 76-393
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very...

Measured and simulated ground-water levels in the Franklin area, southeastern Virginia
O. J. Cosner
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-83
The Lower Cretaceous aquifer is the principal source of water in Southeastern Virginia. Synoptic water-level measurements made since 1970 have been used to verify a digital model of the aquifer. Measurements made in December 1973, August and December 1974 were used to further verify the model, using updated pumpage for...
Mapping and measuring land-cover characteristics of New River Basin, Tennessee, using Landsat digital tapes
E. F. Hollyday, S.P. Sauer
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-106
Land-cover information is needed to select subbasins within the New River basin, Tennessee, for the study of hydrologic processes and also is needed to transfer study results to other sites affected by coal mining. It was believed that data recorded by the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (Landsat-1) could be...
The potentiometric surface of the Magothy Aquifer on Long Island, New York, in March 1975
Keith R. Prince
1976, Open-File Report 76-536
A map showing the potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer was drawn from water-level measurements made in March 1975. These measurements indicated a range in altitude of the potentiometric surface from more than 25 feet (7.62 metres) below mean sea level in Queens County to more than 80 feet (24.38...
Waterlogging in an alluvial aquifer near Lake Minnequa, Pueblo, Colorado
Patrick J. Emmons
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-53
The Lake Minnequa area, located immediately south of the Arkansas River near Pueblo, Colo., is mantled with as much as 46 feet (14 meters) of alluvium covering bedrock of Pierre Shale and Niobrara Formation. Surface water enters the area by the Minnequa Canal and the St. Charles Flood Ditch. The...
Simulation procedure for modeling transient water table and artesian stress and response
J.E. Reed, M. S. Bedinger, J. E. Terry
1976, Open-File Report 76-792
The series of computer programs described in this report were designed specifically to model the ground-water regime in sufficient detail to determine the effects of the imposition of various types of stress upon the system, and to display the results in a convenient manner during calibration and when presenting projected...
Numerical modeling of subsurface radioactive solute transport from waste seepage ponds at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
John B. Robertson
1976, Open-File Report 76-717
Aqueous chemical and low-level radioactive effluents have been disposed to seepage ponds since 1952 at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The solutions percolate toward the Snake River Plain aquifer (135 m below) through interlayered basalts and unconsolidated sediments and an extensive zone of ground water perched on a sedimentary layer...

Water-quality effects on Baker Lake of recent volcanic activity at Mount Baker, Washington
Gilbert Carl Bortleson, Reed T. Wilson, B. L. Foxworthy
1976, Open-File Report 76-714
Increased volcanic activity on Mount Baker, which began in March 1975, represents the greatest known activity of a Cascade Range volcano since eruptions at Lassen Peak, Calif. during 1914-17. Emissions of dust and increased emanations of steam, other gases, and heat from the Sherman Crater area of the mountain focused...
Test drilling for ground water in Hudspeth, Culberson, and Presidio Counties in westernmost Texas
Joseph Spencer Gates, Donald Edward White
1976, Open-File Report 76-338
From November 1973 to October 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey drilled four deep test holes to supplement hydrologic and geophysical studies evaluating fresh ground water in the basins of westernmost Texas. For each test, samples of drill cuttings were collect·ed, borehole geophysical logs were run, and water samples were collected...

The system of springs in Delta County, Colo., contains geochemical clues to the nature and location of buried uranium-mineralized rock. The springs, which occur along the Gunnison River and a principal tributary between Delta and Paonia, are regarded as evidence of a still-functioning hydrothermal system. Associated with the springs are...
