Hydrology of sand-and-gravel aquifer in central and southern Escambia County, Florida
Henry Trapp Jr.
1975, Open-File Report 74-218
The sand-and-gravel aquifer is the only fresh-water aquifer in the Pensacola area. Problems related to development of the aquifer include maximum safe yield, local contamination, local salt-water intrusion, corrosiveness of the water, areas of high iron concentration, and increasing nitrate concentration. The city of Pensacola is seeking hydrologic information, including...

Geochemical Exploration Techniques Applicable in the Search for Copper Deposits
Maurice A. Chaffee
1975, Professional Paper 907-B
Geochemical exploration is an important part of copper-resource evaluation. A large number of geochemical exploration techniques, both proved and untried, are available to the geochemist to use in the search for new copper deposits. Analyses of whole-rock samples have been used in both regional and local geochemical exploration surveys in the...
Water availability in Perry County, Alabama
Philip C. Reed, J.R. Willmon, Patrick O. Jefferson
1975, Open-File Report 75-482
The principal sources of large quantities of ground water in Perry County are sand and gravel aquifers in the Coker, Gordo, and Eutaw Formations of the Upper Cretaceous Series. Upper Cretaceous deposits, which dip to the southwest at about 35 feet per mile, range in thickness (d from about 400...
Plan of study of the hydrology of the Madison Limestone and associated rocks in Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1975, Open-File Report 75-631
A major part of the United States ' coal reserves is in the Fort Union coal region of the Northern Great Plains. Large-scale development of these reserves would place a heavy demand on the area 's limited water resources. Surface water is poorly distributed in time and space. Its use...
Water availability of Blount County, Alabama
Robert J. Faust, Joe R. Harkins
1975, Open-File Report 75-453
Ground water is obtained mostly from limestone and dolomite aquifers along the Sequatchie anticline and Murphrees Valley anticline and. from sandstone aquifers in Sand Mountain and Blount Mountain synclinal areas. Wells tapping some limestone and dolomite aquifers produce as much as 1.4 mgd (million gallons per day). Wells completed in...

Hydrology and sedimentation of Bixler Run basin, central Pennsylvania
Lloyd A. Reed
1975, Open-File Report 75-26
Rainfall, streamflow, stream chemical, and sediment discharge data were collected from Bixler Run near Loysville, Pa., during the period February 1954 to September 1969, as part of a project to evaluate sediment discharge from an agricultural area that had been adopting soil-conservation techniques at a moderate rate. The study was...
