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...

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...
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...

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...
Geology of the Precambrian rocks of the Jabal Habashi Quadrangle, sheet 26F, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
P.R. Johnson, P. L. Williams, F. J. Fuller (compiler)
1985, Open-File Report 85-3
The Jabal Habashi quadrangle contains formations of Lower Paleozoic and Cenozoic age, unconformably overlying part of the Precambrian Arabian Shield. The Precambrian formations include metamorphosed and strongly deformed volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks and plutons of calc-alkalic, mafic to intermediate composition, dated at about 645 Ma. These are unconformably overlain by...

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...
Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1983-84 climatic year
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....

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...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in Alabama
D.A. Olin
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4191
Methods are presented to estimate flood magnitude for selected recurrence intervals for urban and rural streams with drainage areas from 1 to 22,000 square miles. Seven hydrologic areas were delineated and regression equations were developed for six areas. Hydrologic data could not be regionalized for the seventh area. Drainage area...
Hydrology of coal-lease areas near Durango, Colorado
Tom Brooks
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4125
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management leases Federal lands and minerals for coal mining near Durango, Colorado. This report addresses the hydrologic suitability of those lands for coal leasing; the report describes the general hydrology of the Durango area and, more specifically, the hydrology of the Stollsteimer Creek study area...
Simulation of an aquifer test on the Tesuque Pueblo Grant, New Mexico
Glenn A. Hearne
1985, Water Supply Paper 2206
An aquifer test was designed and conducted in the anisotropic dipping beds of the Tesuque Formation on the Tesuque Pueblo Grant, New Mexico. The three-dimensional digital model used to analyze the test approximated the response to the test. The analysis of the geohydrology of the test site in combination with...
