A hematologic survey of captive waterfowl
H.J. Shave
1976, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (12) 195-201
Hematologic parameters were studied in giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima), mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos platyrhynchos) and various species of diving ducks at seasonal intervals throughout the year. Highest values for packed cell volume, hemoglobin content and erythrocyte counts were found in the winter and pre-nesting periods. Mean...
An experiment in earthquake control at Rangely, Colorado
C.B. Raleigh, J. H. Healy, J.D. Bredehoeft
1976, Science (191) 1230-1237
An experiment in an oil field at Rangely, Colorado, has demonstrated the feasibility of earthquake control. Variations in seismicity were produced by controlled variations in the fluid pressure in a seismically active zone. Precise earthquake locations revealed that the earthquakes clustered about a fault trending through a zone of high...

John B. Rapp
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 227-232
Samples of water and gas were collected from six springs and two wells in the Upper Cretaceous Great Valley sequence and Franciscan Formation underlying the Coast Range of northern California and from four oil wells penetrating Tertiary sedimentary rocks in the Kettleman North Dome oil field. Comparison of the dissolved...
Reassessment of mercury in surface water in the Adirondack region, New York
William Buller
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 223-226
A study in 1970 established a natural background concentration of mercury in surface water in the Adirondack region of New York. In 1974, new methods of sample preservation and analysis were used in determining concentrations of mercury of samples of water from the same surface-water sites sampled in 1970-71. Concentrations...
Determination, storage, and preservation of low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases in aqueous solution
D. J. Schultz, J. F. Pankow, D. Y. Tai, D. W. Stephens, R. E. Rathbun
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 247-251
A gas chromatograph with a flame ionization detector was used in conjunction with a stripping chamber and cold trap apparatus to measure microgram-per-litre quantities of low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases in water samples. Glass bottles with ground-glass stoppers were used to store the samples. Formalin was added to stop bacterial...
Solute transport and modeling of water quality in a small stream
S. M. Zand, V. C. Kennedy, G. W. Zellweger, R.J. Avanzino
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey 233-240
An injection of chloride, sodium, and stable strontium was made at a constant rate for 3 hours into Uvas Creek, Santa Clara County, Calif., to determine the mass transport processes in a small stream. Five observation points were selected within a 610-metre reach of the stream below the injection site....
Geochemistry of thermal waters in Long Valley, Mono County, California
Robert H. Mariner, Lawrence M. Willey
1976, Journal of Geophysical Research (81) 792-800
Thermal springs and wells in Long Valley, California, issue sodium bicarbonate‐chloride waters containing 1000–1420 mg/l of dissolved solids. Thermal waters of sodium bicarbonate‐chloride composition are usually associated with hot‐water reservoirs. Chloride concentrations and stable isotope data indicate that the thermal waters have had varied histories. All of the thermal springs...

Ground-water quality at the site of a proposed deep-well injection system for treated wastewater, West Palm Beach, Florida
William A. J. Pitt Jr., Frederick W. Meyer
1976, Open-File Report 76-91
The U.S. Geological Survey collected scientific and technical information before, during, and after construction of a deep test well at the location of a future regional waste-water treatment plant to be built for the city of West Palm Beach, Florida. Data from the test well will be used by the...
Simulations of water-level drawdowns in proposed well-field areas, Dade County, Florida
Howard Klein
1976, Open-File Report 76-651
Electrical analog model simulations of hydraulic conditions in the Biscayne aquifer were made at proposed inland well-field sites in Dade County, Florida. Simulated drawdowns of water levels after 7 months of continuous pumping at 50, 100, and 150 million gallons per day were obtained at each site. Simultaneous pumping of...
Geologic data from test drilling in Palm Beach County, Florida since 1970
James J. Schneider
1976, Open-File Report 76-713
Test hole data, in Palm Beach County, Florida, include lithologic logs from 66 test wells and geophysical logs from 54 test wells. The purpose of the study is to provide the geohydrologic information needed for water management and land use decisions, with emphasis on the urbanized eastern part of the...
Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake in the Everglades Conservation Areas, Florida, with special reference to the effects of backpumping runoff
Benjamin F. McPherson, Bradley G. Waller, H. C. Mattraw
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-29
In much of the water pumped into the northern Everglades, Florida, concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are relatively high. These nutrients are transported in the canals or into the peripheral marshes. Concentrations decrease sharply within 330 feet or less of the canals, whereas specific conductance remains essentially unchanged within...
Analog-model simulations for secondary canal controls and forward pumping water-management schemes in southeast Florida
E. H. Cordes, Richard Alfred Gardner
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-93
The analog model of the Biscayne aquifer of southeast Florida was used to approximate the effects of two proposed water-management schemes. One involved adding a secondary control structure in a major canal which is controlled near the coast. In the model the controls were operated in accordance with canal water...
Analysis of selected benthic communities in Florida Everglades with reference to their physical and chemical environment
Bradley G. Waller
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-28
Species diversity and numbers of benthic macroinvertebrates were determined at 12 sites, both canals and marshes, in the Everglades of south Florida. The values calculated are used to indicate long-term trends in water quality and variations between study areas.Species diversity at all sites was generally in a range indicative of...
