Interpretation of detailed aerial gamma-ray survey, Jabal Ashirah area, southeastern Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
J. S. Duval
1987, Open-File Report 87-599
A detailed aerial gamma-ray spectrometric survey of the Jabal Ashirah area in the southeastern Arabian Shield has been analyzed using computer-classification algorithms. The analysis resulted in maps that show radiometric map units and gamma-ray anomalies indicating the presence of possible concentrations of potassium and uranium. The radiometric-unit map was interpreted...

1987, Open-File Report 87-376
Continuous water level records from 152 wells and water level measurements from an additional 750 wells in Georgia during 1986 provide the basic data for this report. Hydrographs for selected wells illustrate the effects that changes in recharge and discharge have had on the groundwater reservoirs in the State. Daily...
GSPOST Version 1.0: A program to plot symbols and post numerical data from ASCII tables on regional scale maps using an IBM PC (or compatible) microcomputer and plotter
G.I. Selner, Cole L. Smith, Richard B. Taylor
1987, Open-File Report 87-127
GSPOST is a microcomputer program that takes data from a properly formatted ASCII file and drives a plotter, to make maps displaying information associated with geographic points by drawing symbols and/or posting numerical data at latitude-longitude specified sites....
Recharge of shallow aquifers through two ephemeral-stream channels in northeastern Wyoming, 1982-83
L. W. Lenfest
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4311
Quantifying the recharge from ephemeral streams to alluvial and bedrock aquifers will help evaluate the effects of surface mining on alluvial valley floors in Wyoming. Two stream reaches were chosen for study in the Powder River basin. One reach was located along the North Fork Dry Fork Cheyenne River near...

W.H. Eddins, A.P. Cardinell
1987, Open-File Report 87-564
The U.S. Geological Survey initiated an urban water quality study in 1979 in cooperation with the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, to study, among other things, the effects of solid waste disposal on the water quality in Mecklenburg County. Water quality samples (747 inorganic and 168 organic)...
Maps and seismic profiles showing geology of the inner continental shelf, Cape Ann, Massachusetts to New Hampshire

Evapotranspiration rates at selected sites in the Powder River basin, Wyoming and Montana
L. W. Lenfest
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4105
Twelve sites were chosen for a study of evapotranspiration in the Powder River basin based on variations in topography and plant communities, geographic location, and the availability of groundwater data at the sites. Evapotranspiration rates were estimated from groundwater, meteorological, and vegetation data using the Blaney-Criddle method. Five of the...

1987, Open-File Report 87-215
Thunderstorms during 1984 produced significant rainfall and subsequent runoff that caused substantial flooding in eastern Nebraska and southeastern South Dakota. The storms ocurred in rapid succession over the area, and the rain fell on ground that was near saturation from greater-than-normal precipitation during April and May. Flooding ocurred in the...
