Estimated use of water in the United States in 1970
Charles Richard Murray, E. Bodette Reeves
1972, Circular 676
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1970 indicate that an average of about 370 bgd (billion gallons per day)about 1,800 gallons per capita per day--was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) public-supply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock),...

Geochemistry of selected areas in the southern Black Hills, Fall River County, South Dakota
Robert Sprague Jones
1972, Open-File Report 72-200
Geologic and radiometric studies and chemical analyses of soils, rocks, and water were made north of an area between Edgemont and Hot Springs, South Dakota.The soil is shallow, poorly developed, and not present in some areas. The median pH of the soil from three areas ranges from 6.7 to 7.0....

Regional and other general factors bearing on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards to coastal communities of southeastern Alaska
Richard Walter Lemke, Lynn A. Yehle
1972, Open-File Report 72-230
The great Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, brought into sharp focus the need for engineering geologic studies in seismically active regions. As a result, nine communities in southeastern Alaska were selected for reconnaissance investigations as an integral part of an overall program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards...
Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Haines area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Richard Walter Lemke, Lynn A. Yehle
1972, Open-File Report 72-229
The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, brought into sharp focus the need for engineering geologic studies in urban areas. Study of the Haines area constitutes an integral part of an overall program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards in most of the larger Alaska coastal communities. The evaluations...

Earthquakes in the oil field at Rangely, Colorado
James F. Gibbs, John H. Healy, C. Barry Raleigh, John M. Coakley
1972, Open-File Report 72-130
Seven years of seismic data recorded at the Uinta Basin Observatory were searched for earthquakes originating near an oil field at Rangely, Colorado, located 65 km ESE of the observatory. Changes in the number of earthquakes recorded per year appear to correlate with changes in the quantity of fluid injected...
Surficial geology of the Mount Tom quadrangle, Massachusetts
Fredrick D. Larsen
1972, Open-File Report 72-219
Movement of the last ice sheet in the Mount Tom quadrangle was due south during time of major advance as indicated by striations, drumlins, and indicator stones. Erratics of the Belchertown Tonalite, derived from the northeast portion of the Easthampton quadrangle, have been carried southward a distance of at least...

Clay deposits of the Connecticut River Valley, Connecticut: a special problem in land management
William H. Langer
1972, Open-File Report 72-218
When man first settled the United States, two natural features favored settlement; flat land that was easy to build on and to farm, and a nearby river that could act as a source of water, transportation, and power. The Connecticut River Valley from Middletown, Ct. north past the Connecticut-Massachusetts state...

Nutrient survey of surface waters in southern Florida during a wet and a dry season, September 1970 and March 1971
Herbert J. Freiberger
1972, Open-File Report 72-124
A mass nutrient survey of southern Florida surface waters was made in September 1970, during a period of generally high water, and again in March 1971, during a period of low water. Water samples were analyzed by automated chemical techniques for total ortho plus acid-hydrolyzable phosphorus (P-P04), ammonia nitrogen...

Water in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
O. J. Cosner
1972, Open-File Report 72-78
Water for domestic and municipal supply on St. John, in the past, has been obtained from rain catchments, dug wells, and barge shipments from St. Thomas and Puerto Rico.

Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Skagway area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle, Richard Walter Lemke
1972, Open-File Report 72-454
A program to study the engineering geology of most of the larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started promptly after the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report is a product of that program. Field-study methods were largely reconnaissance, and thus the interpretations in...
