J.E. Earle, F.W. Meyer
1973, Open-File Report 73-65
Deep-well injection has been selected by the Dade County Water and Sewer Authority as a means of disposing treated waste water in southeast Dade County. Preliminary plans call for the construction of a county-owned sanitary sewage treatment plant and several 3,000-foot deep injection wells at 1,000-foot intervals on Levee 31E....

Hydraulic tests in hole UAe-2, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1973, Report
Inflatable straddle packers were used to isolate and test 19 intervals ranging from 56 to 747 meters (183 to 2,450 feet) each in hole UAe-2, Amchitka Island, Alaska. Packer seats were poor in part of the hole because of unstable wall conditions. Thus, some zones had to be tested several...
Effect of salt on the response of birds to sucrose
J.G. Rogers Jr., O. Maller
1973, Physiological Psychology (1) 199-200
The preference of male red-winged blackbirds for solutions of sucrose and sucrose with 0.03 M sodium chloride was tested, using a two-bottle choice test. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that the birds were indifferent to 0.03 M NaCl in water. Both control and experimental animals exhibited indifference to the solutions at the...

1973, Bulletin 6310
The Brazos River Basin in Texas extends from the New Mexico State line southeastward to the Gulf of Mexico. The basin is about 600 miles long and ranges in width from 1 to 120 miles--an area of about 42,000 square miles, which includes all or parts of 69 counties. About...
Hydrologic conditions in the Lakeland Ridge area of Polk County, Florida
Alton F. Robertson
1973, Florida Bureau of Geology Report of Investigations 64
The Lakeland ridge area of this investigation covers about 300 square miles in northwest Polk County in central Florida. The growth of industry, phosphate mining, and citrus production as well as population growth during the last two decades has resulted in an increase in ground-water pumpage from about 11 billion...
Ground-water resources of Coke County, Texas
Clyde A. Wilson
1973, Report 166
Coke County, located in semiarid west-central Texas, where large ranches, small farms, and oil production are the main bases of the economy, has a small supply of ground and surface water. Of the approximately 1,900 acre-feet of fresh to moderately saline ground water used in 1968, industry used 880 acre-feet,...
Ground-water resources of Wheeler and eastern Gray Counties, Texas
M.L. Maderak
1973, Report 170
Wheeler and eastern Gray Counties are in the east·central part of the Texas Panhandle. The two counties are characterized by rolling to fairly rugged topography with many sand-dune areas and a well developed drainage system....
Ground-water resources of Brazoria County, Texas
William M. Sandeen, John B. Wesselman
1973, Report 163
The Chicot and Evangeline aquifers are the only hydrologic units bearing fresh (less than 1,000 milligrams per liter dissolved solids) or slightly saline water (1,000-3,000 milligrams per liter dissolved solids in Brazoria County. These aquifers are composed of gravel, sand, silt, and clay of Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Holocene age....
Fluorite equilibria in thermal springs of the Snake River Basin, Idaho
C. E. Roberson, Robert Schoen
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 367-370
Some thermal water sources of the Snake River basin, Idaho, are near saturation with respect to fluorite. That mineral was identified by X-ray diffraction in precipitates induced in three water samples by adding sodium fluoride. The derived solubility product (KS0) for zero ionic strength was close to that calculated from...
A progress report on results of test drilling and ground-water investigations of the Snake Plain aquifer, southeastern Idaho: Part 1: Mud Lake Region, 1969-70 and Part 2: Observation Wells South of Arco and West of Aberdeen
E. G. Crosthwaite
1973, Water Information Bulletin 32
The results of drilling test holes to depths of approximately 1,000 feet in the Mud Lake region show that a large part of the region is underlain by both sedimentary deposits and basalt flows. At some locations, predominantly sedimentary deposits were penetrated; at others, basalt flows predominated. The so-called Mud...

Versatile combustion-amalgamation technique for the photometric determination of mercury in fish and environmental samples
Wayne A. Willford, Robert J. Hesselberg, Harold L. Bergman
1973, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (56) 1008-1014
Total mercury in a variety of substances is determined rapidly and precisely by direct sample combustion, collection of released mercury by amalgamation, and photometric measurement of mercury volatilized from the heated amalgam. Up to 0.2 g fish tissue is heated in a stream of O2 (1.2 L/min) for 3.5 min in...
Vesicles, water, and sulfur in Reykjanes Ridge basalts
J.G. Moore, J.-G. Schilling
1973, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (41) 105-118
Dredge hauls of fresh submarine basalt collected from the axis of the Reykjanes Ridge (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) south of Iceland were taken aboard R/ V TRIDENT in 1967 and 1971. The samples show systematic changes as the water depth of collection (and eruption) decreases: radially elongate vesicles and concentric zones of vesicles appear...
