W.J. Gerstel
1985, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1567-B
The geochemical survey of the Rattlesnake Roadless Area was conducted in May 1982 by the U.S. Geological Survey to aid in a mineral resource appraisal of the area. A total of 114 stream-sediment samples, 68 heavy-mineral concentrates from stream sediment, 20 rock samples, and 4 water samples was collected by...
Simulated effects of projected pumping on the availability of freshwater in the Evangeline Aquifer in an area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas
George E. Groschen
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4182
This study is an investigation of the continued availability of freshwater in the Evangeline aquifer along the Texas Gulf Coast and the potential for degradation of the water quality by salinewater intrusion. Recharge to the aquifer occurs by the infiltration of precipitation in the outcrop area and by cross-formational flow...

Water resources of the Cottonwood Wash Watershed, Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation, southwestern Colorado
A. L. Geldon
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4027
Cottonwood Wash, near Towaoc, Colorado, is a 16-square-mile watershed with an estimated average annual precipitation influx of 14,600 acre-feet. Most of this water is consumed by evapotranspiration. Except for snowmelt in the spring months and infrequent rain storms, all flow in the wash is from springs issuing from talus, block...
Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1984
C.E. Ranzau Jr.
1985, Open-File Report 84-436
The purpose of this report, which was prepared in cooperation with the City of Houston, the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, and the Texas Department of Water Resources, is to show the altitudes of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area. The...
Preliminary evaluation of magnitude and frequency of floods in selected small drainage basins in Ohio
J.R. Kolva
1985, Open-File Report 85-194
A previous study of flood magitudes and frequencies in Ohio concluded that existing regionalized flood equations may not be adequate for estimating peak flows in small basins that are heavily forested, surface mined, or located in northwestern Ohio. In order to provide a large data base for improving estimation of flood...
Ground-water quality in east-central New Jersey, and a plan for sampling networks
D.A. Harriman, B. P. Sargent
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4243
Groundwater quality was evaluated in seven confined aquifers and the water table aquifer in east-central New Jersey based on 237 analyses of samples collected in 1981-82, and 225 older analyses. Investigation of the effect of land use on water quality and several sampling network proposals for the region are reported....
Water resources and effects of development in Hernando County, Florida
J. D. Fretwell
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4320
In spite of the hill and valley terrain in the Brooksville Ridge area of Hernando County, Florida, little surface drainage occurs within the county. Recharge to the Floridan aquifer system occurs as infiltration of precipitation within the county or as ground-water flow from Sumter County to the east and Pasco...

An investigation of ground-water recharge by injection in the Palo Alto Baylands, California: Hydraulic and chemical interactions — Final report
S. N. Hamlin
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4152
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Santa Clara Valley Water District, has completed a study of ground-water recharge by injection in the Palo Alto baylands along San Francisco Bay, California. Selected wells within the Water District 's injection-extraction network were monitored to determine hydraulic and chemical interactions affecting...
Low-flow frequency analyses for streams in west-central Florida
K.M. Hammett
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4299
The log-Pearson type III distribution was used for defining low-flow frequency at 116 continuous-record streamflow stations in west-central Florida. Frequency distributions were calculated for 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 183 consecutive-day periods for recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 20 years. Discharge measurements at more...

Discharge ratings for control gates at Mississippi River Lock and Dam 14, Le Claire, Iowa
A.J. Heinitz
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4261
The water level of the navigation pools on the Mississippi River are maintained by the operation of tainter and roller gates at the locks and dams. Discharge ratings for the gates on Lock and Dam 14, at Le Claire, Iowa, were developed from current-meter discharge measurements made in the forebays...

Bibliography of borehole geophysics as applied to ground-water hydrology
Ticie A. Taylor, Joyce A. Dey
1985, Circular 926
Most of the references on borehole geophysics that are relevant to ground-water hydrology are contained in this bibliography, but it does not include every reference that is available under each subject heading; the literature is much too extensive to compile a complete listing. Some of the references may appear under...
