Lake Okeechobee seepage monitoring network
Donald J. McKenzie
1973, Open-File Report FL 73-018
This report summarizes the data collected at the five original monitoring sites along the south shore of Lake Okeechobee from January 29, 1970 to June 28, 1972. In order to use the hydrographs in this report to full advantage, they should be studied in conjunction with Meyer's graphs and text...
Thermal and mineral waters of nonmeteoric origin, California Coast Ranges
Donald E. White, Ivan Barnes, James R. O’Neil
1973, GSA Bulletin (84) 547-560
Recent isotope studies show that the waters involved in a variety of geologic processes are dominantly the local meteoric water of each area. In most active geothermal systems, the D/H ratio of the hot water is nearly identical with the local cold meteoric water, but the O18/O16 ratio has been shifted...
Lakes of Oregon, Volume 1: Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook Counties
R.B. Sanderson, M.V. Shulters, D. A. Curtiss
1973, Report
An inventory of lakes and reservoirs in Oregon has been needed for many years. Records have long been collected throughout the State to assess the quantity and quality of water from streams, but few data have been collected on water stored in Oregon's lakes and reservoirs. Such data are essential...

Transient and steady-state salt transport between sediments and brine in closed lakes
Abraham Lerman, Blair F. Jones
1973, Limnology and Oceanography (18) 72-85
A diffusional transport model for Lake Abert, Oregon, predicts the rates of salt transport from pore fluids into lake waters. In a lake without outflow dissolved salts may migrate across the sediment-water interface in response to a concentration difference between lake and interstitial brine. Transport of salt upward is transient;...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples from the Mediterranean Sea
F.L. Sayles, L.S. Waterman, F.T. Manheim
1973, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (13) 801-808
Of ten Leg 13 sites studied by us, eight give definite evidence of the existence of halite-containing sediments beneath the seabed. This conclusion is based on the existence on continuous sodium and chloride enrichments in interstitial waters with depth. This is the only direct evidence of the existence of salt...

Species diversity: Patterns in modern and Miocene foraminifera of the eastern margin of North America
Thomas G. Gibson, Martin A. Buzas
1973, Geological Society of America Bulletin (84) 217-238
Patterns of foraminiferal species diversity were examined along the eastern margin of North America by utilizing the number of species, S, the information function, H(S), and species equitability, E. The 350 modern samples we studied extended from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico at depths ranging from a few...

Use of ground water for irrigation in Seward County, Nebraska in 1971
Eugene K. Steele Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 7308
Use of ground water for irrigation in Seward County west of the Big Blue River increased tremendously from 1945 to 1971. During that period, the number of irrigation wells increased from 5 to 614. Ground-water withdrawals prior to 1971 are estimated to have reduced ground-water storage by about 270,000 acre-feet,...
Water records of the U.S. Virgin Islands, 1962-69

1973, Report
The surface-water, quality of water, and ground-water records of the Virgin Islands from 1962 through 1969 are presented in this report. The location of all stations in this report are shown on the individual island maps. Each island map is followed by the tabulation of water records for that island....

Land subsidence due to ground-water withdrawal Arvin-Maricopa area, California
Ben Elder Lofgren
1973, Report
The Arvin-Maricopa area is the southernmost of three principal areas of widespread subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley. As of 1970, 700 square miles of irrigable land, roughly 60 percent of the area, has subsided due to the intensive pumping of ground water. Maximum subsidence exceeds 9 feet, and the...
Transit losses and travel times for reservoir releases, upper Arkansas River Basin, Colorado
Russell K. Livingston
1973, Colorado Water Resources Circular 20
Factors influencing reservoir releases were analyzed for the upper reach of the Arkansas River in Colorado.The time of travel of releases from Twin Lakes Reservoir to Colorado Canal, a distance of 175 miles, ranges from 29 to 69 hours depending on the antecedent flow of the Arkansas River. Travel time...
Mathematical simulation of temperatures in deep impoundments: verification tests of the Water Resources Engineers, Inc. model - Horsetooth and Flaming Gorge Reservoirs
D.L. King, Jim J. Sartoris
1973, Report
Successful use of predictive mathematical models requires verification of the accuracy of the models by applying them to existing situations where the prediction can be compared with reality. A Corps of Engineers' modification of a deep reservoir thermal stratification model developed by Water Resources Engineers, Inc., was applied to...

Chemical quality of ground water in Hawaii
Lindsay A. Swain
1973, Report R48
As the quantity of water needed in certain localities of Hawaii is rapidly approaching the quantity of usable water available, identification and protection of the quality of existing and potential water supplies are becoming ever more critical. Certain factors are already identifiable as problems affecting the quality of ground water...
Effects of exploitation, environmental changes, and new species on the fish habitats and resources of Lake Erie
Wilbur L. Hartman
1973, Technical Report 22
No other lake as large as Lake Erie (surface area, 25,690 km2) has been subjected to such extensive changes in the drainage basin, the lake environment, and the fish populations over the last 150 years. Deforestation and prairie burning led to erosion of the watershed and siltation of valuable spawning...
Chemical stability of preserved oligotrophic water samples
V. A. Adomaitis, J.A. Shoesmith, G.A. Swanson
1973, Proceedings of the North Dakota Academy of Science (26) 1-5
Tests were conducted to determine whether changes that may occur in the chemical characteristics of stored oligotrophic waters collected on 15 sites in northeastern Minnesota were affected by chloroforming. Chloroform was added on site to one of each pair of samples to stabilize the organic content of the water by...
