Breeding biology and relation of pollutants to black skimmers and gull-billed terns in South Carolina
Lawrence J. Blus, Charles J. Stafford
1980, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 230
The breeding biology and relation of pollutants to black skimmers (Ryn chops niger) and gull-billed terns (Gelochelidon nilotica) were investigated in South Carolina from 1969 through 1975. With few exceptions, the two species nested together in colonies located on barrier islands. We located 10 colonies, 7 of which were on...
The Rocky Mountain population of the western Canada goose: Its distribution, habitats, and management
William B. Krohn, Elwood G. Bizeau
1980, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 229
The western Canada goose (Branta canadensis moffitti) was divided into a Rocky Mountain population (RMP) and a Pacific population (PP) on the basis of band recovery patterns examined in this study and recovery data from other investigators. Habitat information obtained from nine cooperating wildlife agencies within the RMP's range provided...
Selected water-level records for Oklahoma, 1979-80
Willard B. Mills, Dannie E. Spiser
1980, Open-File Report 80-975
A systematic program to collect water-level records in Oklahoma began in 1937. The objectives of this program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for...

Techniques for estimating flood peaks, volumes and hydrographs on small streams in South Dakota
Lawrence D. Becker
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-80
Procedures are defined for estimating the magnitude and frequency of future flood peaks and flood volumes and for estimating the expected hydrograph shape of rainfall-induced runoff of small streams in South Dakota. The procedures are applicable to flood flows that are not significantly affected by artificial storage or other manmade...

Floods of January and February 1980 in California
Kenneth L. Wahl, John R. Crippen, J. M. Knott
1980, Open-File Report 80-1005
During January and February 1980, storms caused substantial rises in streamflow throughout much of California. In mid-January flooding occurred in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and in the central coast area. In late January and mid-February, high floodflows in streams in coastal southern California caused much damage and several...
Hydrologic data for runoff studies on small drainage areas, West Virginia Department of Highways Research Project 16
Gerald S. Runner
1980, Open-File Report 80-560
Station listings, basin and flow characteristics tables, and annual maximum discharges are presented for stations in West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia that were used to develop flood-frequency relations for West Virginia. Also presented are figures showing approximate station location and areal coverage for both longterm and short-term stations that were...
Cape Cod Aquifer, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Barbara J. Ryan
1980, Open-File Report 80-571
Ground water was the major source of drinking water on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1978. Withdrawals from over 100 municipal wells averaged 17.5 million gallons per day in 1978. Private wells on Cape Cod are estimated to number 15,000. Ground water occurs primarily under unconfined or water-table conditions. Artesian conditions...

The potential for developing ground-water supplies in the Pescadero area, San Mateo County, California
J. P. Akers
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-6
Adequate supplies of ground water for municipal use generally are not available within a 3-mile radius of Pescadero, San Mateo County, California. The required quantity of 100 gallons per minute probably could be obtained from one or more wells in the alluvium along Pescadero Creek; however, the quality of the...

1980, Professional Paper 1107
The 3,550 square miles of the Upper Chattahoochee River basin is an area of diverse physiographic and land-use characteristics. The headwater areas are mountainous with steep, relatively narrow channels. Land in the headwater areas is heavily forested, but small towns and farms are common in the valleys of large streams....
Sulfate reduction in ground water of southeastern Montana
William S. Dockins, G.J. Olson, Gordon A. McFeters, S.C. Turbak, Roger W. Lee
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-9
Ground water in southeastern Montana was investigated to determine if sulfide production was bacterially mediated. Sulfate—reducing bacteria were detected in 25 of 26 ground—water samples in numbers ranging from 2.0 x 101 to greater than 2.4 x 104 bacteria per 100 milliliters. Stable sulfur isotope fractionation studies indicate a biological...
