Streamflow gains and losses in the Snake River and ground-water budgets for the Snake River Plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
L.C. Kjelstrom
1992, Open-File Report 90-172
The Snake River is the regional drain for streams and aquifers in the Snake River basin upstream from Weiser, Idaho. The interaction between the river and ground water was quantified as streamflow gains from and losses to the aquifers. Upstream from Milner, Idaho, the Snake River both gains and loses...

R.F. Duwelius, Lee R. Watson
1992, Open-File Report 92-55
Water levels were measured in 51 observation wells in the vicinity of the Elkhart Water Works Main Street well field during 5 days of normal pumping at the well field and little or no recharge to the ground water from precipitation. Water levels were measured once each day during December...
Hydrologic data for a study of pre-Illinoian glacial till in Linn County, Iowa, water year 1991
P.R. Bowman
1992, Open-File Report 92-500
Hydrologic data for a study of pre-lllinoian glacial till were collected during the 1991 water year at a site in Linn County, east-central Iowa. A hydrologic-data-collection network, consisting of a meteorological station, 22 observation wells, and a water-quality minimonitor, was installed at the site to investigate the hydraulic properties of...
Geohydrologic framework of the Snake River plain regional aquifer system, Idaho and eastern Oregon
R.L. Whitehead
1992, Professional Paper 1408-B
The Snake River Plain in southern Idaho is a major geologic structure of uncertain origin. Surface geology is generally well defined, but subsurface geology is poorly defined below about 500 feet. Rocks that underlie the plain form the framework for a regional ground-water system that supplies large quantities of water...

A geochemical investigation of selected areas in Greenville and Laurens Counties, South Carolina: Implications for mineral resources
John C. Jackson
1992, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2205
The purpose of this study is to geochemically evaluate three areas within the Greenville 1° x 2° quadrangle (see index map) that have been shown by previous studies to contain anomalously high amounts of tin. Jackson and Moore (1992) reported the presence of cassiterite (SnO2)-bearing heavy-mineral concentrates from stream sediment...

During the earthquake, a total land area of about 4,300 km2 was shaken with seismic intensities that can cause significant damage to structures. The area of the Marina District of San Francisco is only 4.0 km2--less than 0.1 percent of the area most strongly affected by the earthquake--but its significance...

Hydrogeology of the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system in the northern Midwest, United States with a section on ground-water quality
H. L. Young, D. I. Siegel
1992, Professional Paper 1405-B
The Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer system contains the most extensive and continuous aquifers in the northern Midwest of the United States. It is the source of water for many municipalities, industries, and rural water users. Since the beginning of ground-water development from the aquifer system in the late 1800's, hydraulic heads have...
