1985, Open-File Report 85-411
Approximately 2,300 dye-tracer samples were collected and analyzed during a 5-day time-of-travel study on a 23-mile reach of the Coosa River between Logan Martin and Lay dams near Childersburg, Alabama, October 27 to 31, 1984. Rhodamine WT was used as the tracer-dye. Unsteady flow conditions prevailed in the study reach....

A generalized potentiometric surface map prepared as part of the southeastern United States, Regional Sand Aquifer-System Analysis defines the altitude of water levels under conditions prior to development for aquifer unit A3, the middle group of aquifers in the sand aquifer system. Aquifer unit A3, consisting of Upper Cretaceous and...
A two-constituent solute-transport model for ground water having variable density
W. E. Sanford, Leonard F. Konikow
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4279
A numerical model has been developed to simulate solute transport and dispersion of either one or two constituents in groundwater where there is two-dimensional, density-dependent flow. The model is a modified version of the one documented by Konikow and Bredehoeft (1978), which uses finite-difference methods and the method of characteristics...
Ground-water hydrology of Volusia County, Florida, with emphasis on occurrence and movement of brackish water
A. T. Rutledge
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4206
Brackish water is present in the eastern and western fringes of Volusia County, Florida in the surficial aquifer and in the Floridan aquifer system. Average pumpage in 1980 in Volusia County was 66 million gallons per day. Water levels in the Floridan aquifer system declined more than 10 feet over...
Geology of the Precambrian rocks of the Jabal Habashi Quadrangle, sheet 26F, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
P.R. Johnson, P. L. Williams, F. J. Fuller (compiler)
1985, Open-File Report 85-3
The Jabal Habashi quadrangle contains formations of Lower Paleozoic and Cenozoic age, unconformably overlying part of the Precambrian Arabian Shield. The Precambrian formations include metamorphosed and strongly deformed volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks and plutons of calc-alkalic, mafic to intermediate composition, dated at about 645 Ma. These are unconformably overlain by...

Use of double-mass curves to determine drawdown in a long-term aquifer test in north-central Volusia County, Florida
A. T. Rutledge
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4309
A test well withdrew water from the upper Floridan aquifer system at an average of 530 gallons per minute from June 1978 to July 1979. Ground-water levels were monitored in wells open to the upper Floridan (artesian) aquifer system and in wells open to the surficial (water-table) aquifer. Double-mass curves...
Trap efficiency of a sediment-control pond below a block-cut coal mine in Fayette County, Pennsylvania
L.A. Reed, L.E. DiLissio, D.E. Stump
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4223
The U. S. Geological Survey determined the efficiency of a pond constructed to control sediment from a surface coal mine site by measuring runoff and sediment loads at the inlet to and discharge from the pond during storms. The pond is below a 17.9-acre block-cut coal mine in Fayette County,...

1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4305
Increasing population in southern Okaloosa and Walton Counties have resulted in regional declines in the potentiometric surface of the upper limestone of the Floridan aquifer. Water levels have declined as much as 160 feet since 1940, and during peak seasonal demand as much as 190 feet. The Pensacola clay confining...
