Thermal maturity map of the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, Uintah Basin, Utah
Vito F. Nuccio, Ronald C. Johnson
1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1842
The ability of rock to generate oil and gas is directly related to the type and quantity of kerogen and to its thermal maturity; therefore, thermal maturity is a commonly used tool for oil and gas exploration. The purpose of this study ws to provide a thermal-maturity map for the...
Application of the aerial profiling of terrain system

1986, Open-File Report 86-2
Test well Ch-Bf 146 was drilled to 1,650 ft below land surface to explore and evaluate the Patapsco Formation aquifers deeper than 1,000 ft in the Waldorf/La Plata area of Charles County, Maryland. The test hole penetrated two major aquifer systems above a depth of 1,000 ft and another major...

R.W. Cruff
1986, Open-File Report 86-51
This report documents the results of the first phase of a study of the cost effectiveness of the streamflow-information program in Utah. Data use, funding, and data availability are described for the streamflow stations operated by the U.S. Geological Survey; and a history of the stream-gaging program is given. During...
Concepts and data-collection techniques used in a study of the unsaturated zone at a low-level radioactive-waste disposal site near Sheffield, Illinois
R. W. Healy, M.P. DeVries, Robert G. Striegl
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4228
A study of water and radionuclide movement through the unsaturated zone is being conducted at the low level radioactive waste disposal site near Sheffield, Illinois. Included in the study are detailed investigations of evapotranspiration, movement of water through waste trench covers, and movement of water and radionuclides (dissolved and gaseous)...

The SALT NORM : a quantitative chemical-mineralogical characterization of natural waters
Marc W. Bodine Jr., Blair F. Jones
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4086
The new computer program SNORM calculates the salt norm from the chemical composition of a natural water. The salt norm is the quantitative ideal equilibrium assemblage that would crystallize if the water evaporated to dryness at 25 C and 1 bar pressure under atmospheric partial pressure of CO2. SNORM proportions...

Rock riprap design for protection of stream channels near highway structures; Volume 1, Hydraulic characteristics of open channels
J. C. Blodgett
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4127
Volume I discusses the hydraulic and channel properties of streams, based on data from several hundred sites. Streamflow and geomorphic data have been collected and developed to indicate the range in hydraulic factors typical of open channels , to assist design, maintenance, and construction engineers in preparing rock riprap bank...

Simulation analysis of water-level changes in the Navajo sandstone due to changes in the altitude of Lake Powell near Wahweap Bay, Utah and Arizona
B. E. Thomas
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4207
A two-dimensional, finite difference, digital computer model was used to simulate various concepts of groundwater flow near Wahweap Bay, Lake Powell. The filling of Lake Powell started in March 1963; and by 1983 the lake had risen almost 550 ft. This resulted in a maximum observed water level rise of...

A September 1986 potentiometric-surface map of the intermediate aquifer system in west-central Florida depicts water levels for the annual high water-level period. Hydrographs show seasonal and annual changes related to pumpage and recharge range from zero to 30 feet or more in some years. September 1986 water levels averaged about...
Results of exploratory drilling for water in Waihanau Valley, Molokai, Hawaii

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4332
Three exploratory wells, located in lower Waihanau Valley on Molokai, were drilled and tested for their yields during the period May to October 1983. The first well, 582 ft deep, tapped the main water body in a basaltic aquifer intruded by scattered near-parallel volcanic dikes. Water in this water body...
