The relative importance of ground-water and surface-water supplies to oil-shale development, Piceance Basin, Colorado
W.M. Alley
1982, Open-File Report 82-340
A sensitivity analysis was perfomed of the required active storage capacity (VMAX) of a hypothetical reservoir on the White River to different assumptions about water demands for oil-shale development and the contributions from various sources of water. Estimates of VMAX were found to be sensitive to estimates of the supply...

1982, Open-File Report 82-570
The Michaud Flats study area occupies about 20 square miles on the Snake River Plain in southeastern Idaho: Ground-water resources are extensively developed for irrigation and industrial uses. The more productive wells are completed in the Pediment Gravel and the basalt flows of the Bighole Basalt and Starlight Formation and...
Hydrogeology and results of injection tests at waste-injection test sites in Pinellas County, Florida
John J. Hickey
1982, Water Supply Paper 2183
Potential benefits or hazards to freshwater resources could result from subsurface injection of treated wastewater. Recognizing this, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Pinellas County and the city of St. Petersburg, undertook an evaluation of the hydrogeology and injection of wastewater at proposed test sites on the Pinellas peninsula....

Land subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley, California, as of 1980
R. L. Ireland, J. F. Poland, F. S. Riley
1982, Open-File Report 82-370
Land subsidence due to ground-water overdraft in the San Joaquin Valley began in the mid-1920 's and continued at alarming rates until surface was imported through major canals and aqueducts in the 1950 's and late 1960's. In areas where surface water replaced withdrawal of ground-water, water levels in the...

The relatively flat Badger Road area near Fairbanks occupies part of the alluvial plain of the Chena and Tanana Rivers and is underlain by scattered areas of permafrost. The water table of the high-transmissivity aquifer that underlies the area is generally shallower than 15 feet, fluctuates seasonally about 2 feet,...
Analysis of three tests of the unconfined aquifer in southern Nassau County, Long Island, New York
J.B. Lindner, T. E. Reilly
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4021
Drawdown and recovery data from three 2-day aquifer tests (OF) the unconfined (water-table) aquifer in southern Nassau County, N.Y., during the fall of 1979, were analyzed. Several simple analytical solutions, a typecurve-matching procedure, and a Galerkin finite-element radial-flow model were used to determine hydraulic conductivity, ratio of horizontal to vertical...

Baseline water-quality data for sand-plain aquifers in Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, and Wadena counties, Minnesota
C. F. Myette
1982, Open-File Report 82-909
Tapping the surficial sand-plain aquifers in west-central Minnesota has raised the possibility for degradation of water quality. The sand-plain areas are generally overlain by sandy soils that permit rapid infiltration of precipitation and, possibly, of surface contaminants. One hundred twenty-five wells were sampled in Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, and Wadena...
