Water resources in the Blackstone River basin, Massachusetts
Eugene H. Walker, Bruce E. Krejmas
1983, Open-File Report 83-700
The Blackstone River heads in brooks 6 miles northwest of Worcester and drains about 330 square miles of central Massachusetts before crossing into Rhode Island at Woonsocket. The primary source of the Worcester water supply is reservoirs, but for the remaining 23 communities in the basin, the primary source is wells. Bedrock...

Preliminary plasma spectrometric analyses for selected elements in some geothermal waters from Cerro Prieto, Mexico
J.W. Ball, E. A. Jenne
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4056
As part of a cooperative study with Dr. Alfred Truesdell, water samples collected from geothermal power production wells at Cerro Prieto, Mexico, were analyzed for selected elements by d.c. argon plasma emission spectroscopy. Spectral interferences due to the presence of high concentrations of Ca, Si, Na and K in these...

Computer-generated mineral commodity deposit maps
Paul G. Schruben, J. Thomas Hanley
1983, Open-File Report 83-410
This report describes an automated method of generating deposit maps of mineral commodity information. In addition, it serves as a user's manual for the authors' mapping system. Procedures were developed which allow commodity specialists to enter deposit information, retrieve selected data, and plot deposit symbols in any geographic area within...

Report of the annual yield of the Arkansas River basin for the Arkansas River Basin Compact Arkansas-Oklahoma
T.E. Lamb, Martha A. Moore
1983, Open-File Report 83-46
The computed annual yield and deficiency of the subbasins as defined in the Arkansas River Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, are given in tables. Actual runoff from the subbasins and depletion caused by major reservoirs in the compact area are also given in tabular form. Monthly, maximum, minimum, and mean discharges are shown...
Regional flow in the Dakota aquifer: A study of the role of confining layers
John D. Bredehoeft, C. E. Neuzil, P. C. Milly
1983, Water Supply Paper 2237
The Dakota Sandstone in South Dakota is one of the classic artesian aquifers; it was first studied by N. H. Darton at the turn of the century. Since then, hydrogeologists have debated the source of the large quantities of water which have been discharged by artesian flow from the Dakota....

Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of the St. Peter aquifer, Southeast Minnesota
J. F. Ruhl, R. J. Wolf
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4200
Quality of water in the St. Peter aquifer is generally acceptable for most uses. Sulfate concentrations increase toward the southwestern part of the aquifer because of highly mineralized leakage from overlying Cretaceous deposits. Concentrations of sodium, magnesium, and sulfate generally increase to the west, and those of calcium, bicarbonate, and...
A two-dimensional, finite-difference model of the high plains aquifer in southern South Dakota
K.E. Kolm, H. L. Case III
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4175
The High Plains aquifer is the principal source of water for irrigation, industry, municipalities, and domestic use in south-central South Dakota. The aquifer, composed of upper sandstone units of the Arikaree Formation, and the overlying Ogallala and Sand Hills Formations, was simulated using a two-dimensional, finite-difference computer model. The maximum...

Distribution of selected chemical constituents in water from the Floridan aquifer, Southwest Florida Water Management District
M.A. Corral Jr.
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4041
Generalized maps showing variations in concentration of chlorides, sulfates, hardness, and dissolved solids in the Floridan aquifer have been prepared as part of a cooperative program with the Southwest Florida Water Management District. This report covers 10 counties and parts of 6 others comprising the District. Data used to develop...

Laboratory safety handbook
E.L. Skinner, C.A. Watterson, J.C. Chemerys
1983, Open-File Report 83-131
Safety, defined as 'freedom from danger, risk, or injury,' is difficult to achieve in a laboratory environment. Inherent dangers, associated with water analysis and research laboratories where hazardous samples, materials, and equipment are used, must be minimized to protect workers, buildings, and equipment. Managers, supervisors, analysts, and laboratory support personnel...
Injection of treated wastewater for ground-water recharge in the Palo Alto Baylands, California, hydraulic and chemical interactions — Preliminary report
S. N. Hamlin
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4121
An injection-extraction well network in the Palo Alto Baylands along the San Francisco Bay, California, was designed to flush the shallow aquifer system of saline water and prevent further inland saline contamination. Clogging processes and solution migration in the vicinity of one injection well were studied. Cyclic evaporative concentration of...
