Activities of the Water Resources Division, California District, in the 1985 fiscal year
P. W. Anttila (compiler)
1986, Open-File Report 86-244
This report summarizes the progress of water-resources studies in California by the U.S. Geological Survey during the fiscal year 1985. Much of the work was done in cooperation with the State and local agencies. Additional supporting funds were transferred from other Federal agencies or appropriated directly to the Geological Survey....
Records of wells, drillers' logs, water-level measurements, and chemical analyses of ground water in Chambers, Liberty, and Montgomery counties, Texas, 1980-84
James F. Williams III, L.S. Coplin, C.E. Ranzau Jr., W.B. Lind
1986, Open-File Report 86-57
Information on major new water wells in Chambers, Liberty, and Montgomery Counties was compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1980 through 1984. This report presents the results of the hydrologic data collection on new largecapacity and other selected wells, including well location and completion data, drillers' logs of the...
Surficial geology, structure, and thickness of selected geohydrologic units in the Columbia Plateau, Washington
B. W. Drost, K. J. Whiteman
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4326
A 2-1/2 year study of the Columbia Plateau in Washington was begun in March 1982 to define spatial and temporal variations in dissolved sodium in the Columbia River Basalt Group aquifers and to relate these variations to the groundwater system and its geologic framework. This report describes the geologic framework...
Geohydrology of the glacial-outwash aquifer in the Baldwinsville area, Seneca River, Onondaga County, New York
Timothy S. Pagano, David B. Terry, Arlynn W. Ingram
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4094
Seven sheets of map data comprise this geohydrologic report. Sheet 1, surficial geology, illustrates the distribution of: open water areas; artificial fill; made land; urban land; alluvial silt and sand; alluvial sand and gravel; peat, marl, muck and clay; lake silt and/or clay; delta sand and gravel; beach sand and...
Potentiometric surface, ground-water withdrawals, and recharge area for the Nanafalia-Clayton aquifer in Alabama, fall 1982
John S. Williams, Sydney S. DeJarnette, Michael Planert
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4119
The U.S. Geological Survey began a nationwide program in 1978, termed Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA), to study a number of the major aquifer systems that provide a significant part of the country 's water supply. One of the aquifer systems chosen for study was the thick and extensive sequence of...
Ground-water availability in the eastern part of the Lake Ontario Basin, New York
Todd S. Miller
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4201
A set of three maps show surficial geology, significant unconsolidated aquifers and well yield, and selected well locations for the Lake Ontario basin, New York. In the low areas , glaciers and wave action of former high-level lakes deposited permeable sand and gravel to form aquifers that yield more than...
Potentiometric surface, ground-water withdrawals, and recharge area for the Lisbon aquifer in Alabama, fall 1982
John S. Williams, Michael Planert, Sydney S. DeJarnette
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4120
The U.S. Geological Survey began a nationwide program in 1978, termed Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA), to study a number of the major aquifer systems that provide a significant part of the country 's water supply. One of the aquifer systems chosen for study was the thick and extensive sequence of...
Potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer system in the Northwest Florida Water Management District, May 1985
Jack C. Rosenau, Paul E. Meadows
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4183
The potentiometric surface map of the Floridan aquifer system in the northwest Florida Water Management District depicts the level to which water rose in tightly cased wells that tap the Floridan aquifer system in May 1985. The surface was mapped by determining the altitude of water levels in a network...
Potentiometric map of the lower Wilcox aquifer in Mississippi, fall 1982
Daphne Darden
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4059
This potentiometric map is the second map of the lower Wilcox aquifer in a series of maps prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Mississippi Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Land and Water Resources, delineating the potentiometric surface of the major aquifers in Mississippi. The potentiometric...
Hydrogeology of the eastern part of the Salt River Valley area, Maricopa and Pinal Counties, Arizona
R. L. Laney, Mary Ellen Hahn
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4147
The Salt River Valley is a major agricultural and metropolitan area in semiarid south-central Arizona. Groundwater in the permeable sedimentary deposits underlying the area is a major water supply for agricultural, municipal, and industrial users. Groundwater levels have declined as much as 400 ft in recent years. Management of the...
Detection of contaminant plumes in ground water of Long Island, New York, by electromagnetic terrain-conductivity surveys
Thomas J. Mack, P. E. Maus
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4045
Electromagnetic terrain conductivity surveys were conducted at four landfills in Suffolk county and at an artificial recharge site in Nassau County to assess the feasibility of this technique for detecting contaminant plumes. The technique was successful at three of the landfills; results compared closely with those indicated by specific conductance...
Flood of September 12-13, 1982 in Gibson, Carroll, and Madison Counties, western Tennessee
Clarence H. Robbins, Charles R. Gamble, Roy H. Bingham
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4037
Intense rainfall on September 12-13, 1982, caused severe local flooding along many streams in Gibson County in western Tennessee. The rainfall resulted from remnants of Hurricane Chris combining with a cool front moving across the western half of the State. A maximum 1-hr rainfall intensity of 3.3 in was recorded...
Divisions of potential fracture permeability, based on distribution of structures and lineaments, in sedimentary rocks of the Rocky Mountains-High Plains region, Western United States
