Summary of water withdrawals in the United States, 1950-80
William B. Mann, Wayne B. Solley, Edith B. Chase
1983, Open-File Report 83-207
Estimated use of water in the United States increased from 180 bgd (billion gallons per day) in 1950 to 450 bgd in 1980. During this same time population increased from about 150 million to about 230 million. Data on consumptive use are not available for the first decade of the...
Ground-water resources in the Hood Basin, Oregon
Stephen J. Grady
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-1108
The Hood Basin, an area of 1,035 square miles in north-central Oregon, includes the drainage basins of all tributaries of the Columbia River between Eagle Creek and Fifteenmile Creek. The physical characteristics and climate of the basin are diverse. The Wasco subarea, in the eastern half of the basin, has...

1983, Open-File Report 82-445
The Great Basin Regional Aquifer Study includes about 140,000 square miles in parts of Nevada, Utah, California, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. Within that area, 240 hydrographic areas occupy structural depressions formed primarily by basin-and-range faulting. The principal aquifers are in basin- fill deposits; however, permeable carbonate rocks underlie valleys in...

In order to distinguish dissimilar from similar features of epithermal districts, lithotectonic, mineralogical and geochemical traits are compiled for 15 such districts. The districts occur in structurally complex settings associated with silicic to intermediate volcanics. Affiliation with subduction environments on a continental scale and caldera settings on a regional scale...
Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of the St. Peter aquifer, Southeast Minnesota
J. F. Ruhl, R. J. Wolf

Tens of successive, colossal Missoula floods at north and east margins of channeled scabland
Richard B. Waitt
1983, Open-File Report 83-671
In deposits of Pleistocene glacial lakes in northern Idaho and Washington, beds comprising 20 to 55 varves (average = 35-40) separate each successive graded gravel or sand bed that was swiftly emplaced by a catastrophic flood from glacial Lake Missoula. The floodlaid beds are similar to rhythmic successions of 40...
