Regional impact of water resource investments in an developing area
Emil Attanasi
1975, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (11) 69-76
Regional development and industrialization patterns are investigated and related via regression analysis to water resource investments for the island of Puerto Rico. Although results of this study indicate such investments have little immediate or short‐term impact, significant relationships and variations in regional responses appear over longer time periods. This is...
Mechanism of Formation of Pillow Lava
James G. Moore
1975, American Scientist (63) 269-277
Much of the ocean floor is covered by lava of a distinctive character. The lava appears to be made up of closely packed ellipsoidal masses about the size and shape of pillows - hence the term pillow lava. Only within the last few years has the abundance of pillow lava...

Land in southeast Palm Beach County is undergoing a large-scale change in use, from agricultural to residential. To accommodate residential use, a proposal has been made by developers to the Board of the Lake Worth Drainage District to lower the canal stages in the interior part of the area undergoing...
Geohydrology and water quality of the Mississippi River alluvial aquifer, northeastern Louisiana
Merrick S. Whitfield Jr.
1975, Water Resources Technical Report 10
The Mississippi River alluvial aquifer in northeastern Louisiana is in the alluvium of the Mississippi, Arkansas, and Ouachita Rivers and underlies approximately 5,000 square miles (13,000 square kilometers) in the Mississippi River valley. The aquifer, of Pleistocene age, is a southeastward-thickening wedge of sand and gravel that ranges in thickness...
Lakes of Oregon, Volume 3: Hood River, Multnomah, Washington and Yamhill Counties
M.V. Shulters
1975, Report
An inventory of lakes and reservoirs of Oregon is essential for a complete evaluation of the total surface-water supply of the State and to provide a basis for answering questions about Oregon's lakes. Much of the information on lakes and reservoirs previously collected by Federal and State agencies has never...

Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey in the northern Great Plains coal region of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota, 1975
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1975, Report
The Geological Survey's Water Resources Division has for many years maintained a program of water-resources investigations that includes the coal regions of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. These programs have been supported by State and local agencies and by other agencies of the Federal government, largely to provide data for...
Selected water-quality data from Fallen Leaf Lake, El Dorado County, California, June through October 1974
Richard H. Fuller
1975, Report
In 1974 the U.S. Geological Survey entered into a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Water Resources to study the limnology of Fallen Leaf Lake and adjacent streams. The lake is in California, near the crest of the Sierra Nevada about 23 miles southwest of Reno, Nevada (fig. 1)....

1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 103-106
Increased activity at sunset of sockeye (red) salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in an Alaskan stream resulted in increases in carbon dioxide, turbidity, suspended chlorophyll a, and drift invertebrates, and a decrease in pH and dissolved oxygen....
