Hariharaiyer Mahadeva Iyer
1974, Open-File Report 74-96
The U. S. Geological Survey made seismic noise measurements in the East Mesa area of Imperial Valley, California, to find out if a noise anomaly was associated with the Mesa thermal anomaly. Thirty-three locations were occupied in the area using slow-speed tape-recording seismic systems. One of the stations (CEN) was...

Water demands for expanding energy development
G. H. Davis, Leonard A. Wood
1974, Circular 703
Water is used in producing energy for mining and reclamation of mined lands, onsite processing, transportation, refining, and conversion of fuels to other forms of energy. In the East, South, Midwest, and along the seacoasts, most water problems are related to pollution rather than to water supply. West of about...
Selenium, fluorine, and arsenic in surficial materials of the conterminous United States

1974, Circular 692
Concentrations of selenium, fluorine, and arsenic in 912, 911, and 910 samples, respectively, of soils and other regoliths from sites approximately 50 miles (80 km) apart throughout the United States are represented on maps by symbols showing five ranges of values. Histograms of the concentrations of these elements are also...

An investigation of recharge basins on Long Island was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Nassau County Department of Public Works, Suffolk County Department of Environmental Control, and Suffolk County Water Authority. The major objectives of the study were...
Water availability in central Wisconsin — An area of near-surface crystalline rock
Edwin Allen Bell, Marvin G. Sherrill
1974, Water Supply Paper 2022
Available ground water in much of central Wisconsin is limited to discharge through wells of low yield. Aquifers that yield small amounts of water to wells include fractured crystalline rock at or near surface in the eastern part of the area, sandstone overlying crystalline rock in the southern and western...

Availability of ground water in the Blackstone River area Rhode Island and Massachusetts
Herbert E. Johnston, David C. Dickerman
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-4
The Blackstone River study area covers 83 square miles of northern Rhode Island and 5 square miles of adjacent Massachusetts (fig. 1). It includes parts of the Blackstone, Moshassuck, and Tenmile River basins, and a coastal area that drains to the brackish Seekonk and Providence Rivers. In Rhode Island, all...
A water-quality reconnaissance of Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino County, California, 1972-1973
George A. Irwin, Michael Lemons
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-3
A water-quality reconnaissance study of the Big Bear Lake area in southern California was made by the U.S. Geological Survey from April 1972 through April 1973. The primary purpose of the study was to measure the concentration and distribution of selected primary nutrients, organic carbon, dissolved oxygen, phytoplankton, and water...
Mathematical model of San Juan Valley ground-water basin, San Benito County, California
Robert E. Faye
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-58
A mathematical model study of the San Juan Valley ground-water basin in San Benito County, Calif., has quantitatively described the ground-water hydrology of the basin under past, present, and future conditions of development. An analysis of conditions in the basin prior to large-scale ground-water development indicates that net recharge equaled...
Geology and ore deposits of the Rico District, Colorado
