1984, Open-File Report 84-65
Heavy rains fell over south-central Oklahoma and north-central Texas during October 11-14, 1981, causing record flooding in both States. Six lives were lost, many people were temporarily left homeless, and damages amounted to nearly $115 million. The maximum rainfall of 23 inches occurred 5 miles north of Clyde, Texas, in...
Appraisal of the surficial aquifers in the Pomme de Terre and Chippewa River Valleys, western Minnesota

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4086
The surf icial sands in the Pomme de Terre and Chippewa River valleys in Grant, Pope, Stevens, and Swift Counties have been studied to determine the occurrence, availability, and quality of ground water in these aquifers. In the northern part of the Pomme de Terre and Chippewa River valleys, the aquifers...
Hole-to-surface resistivity measurements at Gibson Dome (drill hole GD-1) Paradox basin, Utah
J.J. Daniels
1984, Open-File Report 82-320
Hole-to-surface resistivity measurements were made in a deep drill hole (GD-1), in San Juan County, Utah, which penetrated a sequence of sandstone, shale, and evaporite. These measurements were made as part of a larger investigation to study the suitability of an area centered around the Gibson Dome structure for nuclear...

Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan Aquifer in central Sumter County, Florida, May 1984
L. A. Bradner
1984, Open-File Report 84-814
This map presents the potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan aquifer in central Sumter County, Florida, for May 1984. The Floridan aquifer system is the principal source of potable water in the area. The focus of the map is the potentiometric surface in the Jumper Creek Canal area. Water level...
Digital simulation of the regional effects of subsurface injection of liquid waste near Pensacola, Florida
M. L. Merritt
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4042
Industrial, organic, liquid waste has been injected into a part of the lower limestone of the Floridan aquifer at one site since 1963 and at another site since 1975, raising water levels in the injection zone throughout a large region. The hydrogeologic conceptual model of the injection zone is a...
Simulated ground-water flow in the Potomac aquifers, New Castle County, Delaware
Mary Martin
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4007
Flow in three aquifers of the Potomac Formation in New Castle County, Delaware, was simulated. Results of the calibrated flow model show the maximum transmissivity of the lower aquifer is between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet per day; the middle aquifer, between 3,000 and 3,500 square feet per day; and...
Use of selected basin characteristics to estimate mean annual runoff and peak discharges for ungaged streams in drainage basins containing strippable coal resources, northwestern New Mexico
H.R. Hejl
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4260
Equations in this report can be used to estimate mean annual runoff and peak discharges for 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, and 100-year recurrence intervals for ungaged streams in drainage basins containing strippable coal resources in northwestern New Mexico. These streamflow characteristics are related to basin characteristics that were found to...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Randolph County, Indiana
W.W. Lapham, L. D. Arihood
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4267
The two major aquifer systems in Randolph County, Indiana are sand and gravel and bedrock (limestone, dolomite, and shale of Silurian to Odovician age). The average thickness of the sands and gravels is 15 ft, and the aquifers are areally discontinuous. The bedrock aquifer underlies the entire study area and...

This is one of a series of maps that describe the geology and related natural resources of the Nephi 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, Utah. Streamflow records used to compile this map were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of...
An overview of ground-water quality data in Wisconsin
Phil A. Kammerer Jr.
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4239
This report contains a summary of ground-water-quality data for Wisconsin and an evaluation of the adequacy of these data for assessing the impact of land disposal of wastes on ground-water quality. Chemical analyses used in data summaries were limited to those stored in the USGS computer system (WATSTORE). Information on...

Appraisal of water from surficial-outwash aquifers in Todd County and parts of Cass and Morrison counties, central Minnesota
C. F. Myette
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4156
Outwash deposits consisting of medium to very coarse sand constitute a major aquifer in Todd County and in parts of Cass and Morrison Counties. The outwash ranges in thickness from 0 to 150 feet. Depth to water is generally less than 15 feet, and annual water-level fluctuations are less than...
