1984, Circular 915
From July 1981, when drilling began on Georges Bank, to May 1982, the concentration of barium, a major element in drilling mud, has increased by a factor of 3.5 in bulk sediments 200 m from the drill site in block 410 and by a factor of 2.3 at the drill...
Preliminary study of the aquifers of the lower Mesilla Valley in Texas and New Mexico by model simulation
J. S. Gates, D. E. White, E. R. Leggat
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4317
The aquifers in the lower Mesilla Valley of Texas and New Mexico provide water for irrigation, industrial use, and municipal supply. At present (1984), the shallow aquifer is used principally for irrigation. The medium-depth aquifer (the top of which is about 160 to 260 feet below land surface) and deep...

1984, Circular 936
Of the 12 elements analyzed in bulk (undifferentiated) sediments collected adjacent to drilling rigs on Georges Bank, only barium was found to increase in concentration during the drilling period (July 1981 until September 1982). The maximum postdrilling concentration of barium (a major element in drilling mud) reached 172 ppm in...
Comparison of computer-based and manual coal resource estimation methods for the Cache coal bed, Recluse Geologic Model Area, Wyoming
Gary B. Schneider, Sharon S. Crowley, Mary Alice Carey
1984, Circular 917
Coal resources have been estimated, using both manual and computer methods, for the Cache coal bed in the Recluse Geologic Model Area, which covers the White Tail Butte, Pitch Draw, Recluse, and Homestead Draw SW 7?-minute quadrangles in Campbell County, Wyoming. Approximately 300 coal thickness measurements from drill-hole logs are...
Investigation of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in ground water in Seminole County, Georgia
James B. McConnell, D.W. Hicks, L. E. Lowe, S.Z. Cohen, A.P. Jovanovich
1984, Circular 933
An investigation of ground water in Seminole County, Georgia, for ethylene dibromide (EDB) was conducted in August 1983 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Exposure Assessment Branch of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of the investigation was to determine whether EDB, which was previously detected...
Water resources data, Arizona water year 1982
Natalie D. White, W. B. Garrett
1984, Water Data Report AZ-82-1
Water resources data for the 1982 water year for Arizona consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; measurements of ground-water levels; and quality of water from selected wells. Also included are discharge data for crest-stage partial-record stations...

Computer analysis of digital well logs
James H. Scott
1984, Circular 879
A comprehensive system of computer programs has been developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for analyzing digital well logs. The programs are operational on a minicomputer in a research well-logging truck, making it possible to analyze and replot the logs while at the field site. The minicomputer also serves as...

Evaluation of future base-flow water-quality conditions in the Hillsborough River, Florida
Mario Fernandez Jr., C. L. Goetz, J.E. Miller
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4182
A one-dimensional, steady-state, water-quality model was developed for a 30.0 mile reach of the Hillsborough River to evaluate water-quality conditions to be expected from future development. The model was calibrated and verified using data collected under critical base-flow conditions in April and December 1978. Dissolved organic nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) R/V S.P. LEE (cruise L9-84-CP) left Majuro, Radak chain of the Marshall Islands on July 28, 1984, cruised over the Mid-Pacific Mountains, and reached Hawaii on August 15, 1984. The main objectives of the cruise were to study the distribution and composition of ferromanganese-oxide crusts...

An assessment of nonpoint-source discharges, streamflow, and water quality in Onion River, Wisconsin
S. J. Field, R.A. Lidwin
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4066
The Onion River in eastern Wisconsin was studied during the 1979 and 1980 water years to define the relationship between water quality and streamflow. Agricultural nonpoint-source discharges in the lower part of the Onion River are suspected of contributing significantly to degradation of water quality. Two streamflow water-quality monitoring stations were...
