Water resources of northwestern Wyoming
Edward Riley Cox
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 558
This 3-sheet map report describes the hydrologic conditions in northwestern Wyoming. The increasing number of tourists and residents and the shifting of overnight accommodations for tourists from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to nearby areas may result in the need for development of additional water supplies in northwestern Wyoming....

Status of ground-water modeling in the U.S. Geological Survey
Charles A. Appel, J.D. Bredehoeft
1976, Circular 737
The U.S. Geological Survey is active in the development and use of models for the analysis of various types of ground-water problems. Types of problems for which models have been, or are being, developed include: (1) ground-water flow in saturated or partially unsaturated materials, (2) land subsidence resulting from ground-water...
Geohydrology of the Oklahoma Panhandle, Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas Counties
D.L. Hart, G. L. Hoffman, Robert L. Goemaat
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-25
The Ogallala aquifer, which consists of semiconsolidated clay, sand, and gravel, is the principal source of ground water in the Oklahoma Panhandle. This aquifer commonly yields 500 to 1,000 gallons per minute (32 to 63 litres per second) and may yield as much as 2,500 gallons per minute (158 litres...
Water levels in artesian and nonartesian aquifers of Florida, 1973-74
Henry G. Healy
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-101
Based on measurements of water level in 675 wells selected from a network of about 1,300 observation wells, ground-water levels during May 1973 - May 1974 declined from 2 to 4 feet in the Floridan aquifer through most of north and central peninsular Florida. Hydrographs of 55 wells show the...
Economic worth of hydrologic data in project design: An application to regional energy development
M.R. Karlinger
1976, Open-File Report 76-316
The linkage between the benefits to a regional economy from a water-dependent industry and the statistical uncertainty of the water supply that is needed in the production process is analyzed using a Bayesian scheme of expected-expected benefits of hydrologic data. In this analysis, expected benefits are calculated using anticipated streamflow...

Land and natural resource information and some potential environmental effects of surface mining of coal in the Gillette area, Wyoming
William Richard Keefer, R. F. Hadley
1976, Circular 743
Campbell County, along the east margin of the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming, contains more coal than any other county in the United States. The principal deposit is the Wyodak-Anderson coal bed. The bed is 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) thick over large areas, lies less than 200 feet (60...

Ground water favorability and surficial geology of the Portland area, Maine
Glenn C. Prescott
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 561
This hydrologic atlas describes the surficial geology and groundwater resources of about 240 square miles in Cumberland County, Maine. The most productive aquifers are outwash and ice-contact deposits. Their locations and the most favorable areas for obtaining large yields from them are indicated on the map. The largest reported yield...

Model analysis of effects on water levels at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by construction dewatering
James R. Marie
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-82
Two computer models were developed to investigate possible hydrologic effects within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by planned dewatering at the adjacent Bailly Nuclear Generator construction site. The dewatering, which is scheduled to last for about 18 months, would cause ground-water levels to be drawn down 20 to 30...
Ground-water quality in the Davie Landfill, Broward County, Florida
H. C. Mattraw Jr.
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-56
Ground-water adjacent to a disposal pond for septic tank sludge, oil, and grease at the Davie landfill, Broward County, Florida was tested for a variety of ground-water contaminants. Three wells adjacent to the disposal pond yielded water rich in nutrients, organic carbon and many other chemical constituents. Total coliform bacteria...

Water resources of the Myakka River basin area, southwest Florida
Boyd F. Joyner, Horace Sutcliffe Jr.
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-58
Ground water in the Myakka River basin area of southwest Floria is obtained from a water-table aquifer and from five zones in an artesian aquifer. Wells in the water-table aquifer yield generally less than 50 gpm and dissolved solids concentration is less than 500 mg/liter except in coastal areas and...

History of irrigation and characteristics of streamflow in Nebraska, part of the North and South Platte River basins
F. Butler Shaffer
1976, Open-File Report 76-167
More than 80 years of streamflow records have been collected in Nebraska. Such records are essential in planning water developments and managing water resources. Their value can be enhanced if the records are analyzed statistically. This report presents statistics on the flow of streams in the North and South Platte...
