Hydrogeologic data from a test well in east-central Duval County, Florida
D.P. Brown, R.A. Johnson, R.A. Broxton
1985, Open-File Report 84-802
A 2,112-foot test well was drilled in east-central Duval County, Florida, to obtain geologic, hydrologic, and water chemistry data. Drill cuttings and water samples were collected, and water-level measurements and lithologic and geophysical logs were made. Deposits to a depth of 575 feet consist of sand, clayey sand, phosphatic sandy...

R. L. Goemaat, L.D. Mize, D.E. Spiser
1985, Open-File Report 85-87
During the 1983-84 climatic years, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, collected ground-water level data in Oklahoma from 1,083 sites in 77 counties. This report presents those data points....
Effects of storm-water runoff on an urban lake, Lake Ellyn at Glen Ellyn, Illinois
Robert G. Striegl
1985, Open-File Report 84-603
Detention of urban runoff was observed to have physical, chemical, and biological effects on a small lake located near Chicago, Illinois. Accumulated bottom sediments reduce lake storage and have comparatively high concentrations of metals and organic compounds. Concentrations of many constituents dissolved in the lake water are seasonally cyclic, with...

Instrumentation for measuring lake and reservoir evaporation by the energy-budget and mass-transfer methods
A.M. Sturrock Jr.
1985, Open-File Report 84-863
Instrumentation currently used by the U.S. Geological Survey in studies of lake and reservoir evaporation is described in this paper. This instrumentation is used for the measurement of solar and terrestrial energy necessary to apply the mass-transfer or energy budget methods. The energy budget requires a quantative determination of all...

Stream discharge in Michigan - Miscellaneous measurements
D. J. Holtschlag, D.V. Eagle
1985, Open-File Report 85-350
This report contains 17,607 miscellaneous stream discharge measurements made at 2,897 sites in Michigan. An average of 515 measurements were made each year from 1960 through 1984; most of these were made from April through October of each year. Miscellaneous measurements include periodic and occasional measurements of streamflow at sites...
The stream-gaging program in South Dakota
J.R. Little, D.K. Matthews
1985, Open-File Report 85-564
This report documents the results of a study of the uses, funding, and availability of the streamflow information program in South Dakota. In 1983, 107 continuous-record surface-water gaging stations were being operated in South Dakota on a budget of $607,050. Data from most stations have multiple uses. Data uses and...

Effects of surface mining on streamflow, suspended-sediment, and water quality in the Stony Fork drainage basin, Fayette County, Pennsylvania
D.E. Stump, T.M. Mastrilli
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4362
A study of the Stony Fork basin in southern Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from 1977 through 1980 determined the impacts of surface coal mining on surface-water quality. Stony Fork was sampled at six sites, during which time the area of surface mines increased from 0.5 to 5.5 percent of the study...
Reported withdrawals and estimated use of water in Oklahoma during 1982
J.D. Stoner
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4084
Reported water withdrawals in Oklahoma during 1982 were 1,270.64 million gallons per day. The withdrawals were about equally distributed between ground water and surface water with 46 percent being ground water and 54 percent being surface water. In general, the western counties rely on ground water and the eastern counties...

Petroleum geology and resources of northeastern Mexico
James A. Peterson
1985, Circular 943
Petroleum deposits (primarily gas) in northeastern Mexico occur in two main basins, the Tertiary Burgos basin and the Mesozoic Sabinas basin. About 90 gas fields are present in the Burgos basin, which has undergone active exploration for the past 30-40 years. Production in this basin is from Oligocene and Eocene...
Effects of artificial recharge on the Ogallala aquifer, Texas
Richmond Flint Brown, W.S. Keys
1985, Water Supply Paper 2251
Four recharge tests were conducted by injecting water from playa lakes through wells into the Ogallala Formation. Injection was by gravity flow and by pumping under pressure. At one site, 34-acre feet of water was injected by gravity and produced a significant increase in yield of the well. At a...
Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina

1985, Water Supply Paper 2221
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina 's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent, intensively farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, salt-water intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too...

Chemical and physical characteristics of water and sediment in Scofield Reservoir, Carbon County, Utah
Kidd M. Waddell, D.W. Darby, S.M. Theobald
1985, Water Supply Paper 2247
Evaluations based on the nutrient content of the inflow, outflow, water in storage, and the dissolved-oxygen depletion during the summer indicate that the trophic state of Scofield Reservoir is borderline between mesotrophic and eutrophic and may become highly eutrophic unless corrective measures are taken to limit nutrient inflow.Sediment deposition in...
