1980, Open-File Report 80-1201
The United States is currently engaged in an effort to develop the oil and gas resources of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). In the Pacific, State jurisdiction extends for 3 geographical (nautical) miles (5.56 km) from the coastline. The OCS, which comprises the submerged lands of the Continental Shelf seaward...
Evaluation of the Malaga Bend salinity alleviation project, Eddy County, New Mexico

Ground-water appraisal of sand plains in Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright counties, central Minnesota
Gerald F. Lindholm
1980, Open-File Report 80-1285
Surficial-sand aquifers in 960 square miles of central Minnesota have been studied to determine the occurrence, availability, and suitability of the surficial aquifer as a source of water. The aquifer is being increasingly developed for irrigation. During the drought of 1976, nearly 24,000 acre-feet of ground water was withdrawn for irrigation,...
Sediment deposition in the White River Reservoir, northwestern Wisconsin
W. G. Batten, S. M. Hindall
1980, Water Supply Paper 2069
The history of deposition in the White River Reservoir was reconstructed from a study of sediment in the reservoir. Suspended-sediment concentrations, particle size, and streamflow characteristics were measured at gaging stations upstream and downstream from the reservoir from November 1975 through September 1977. Characteristics of the sediments were determined from...

Reconnaissance assessment of erosion and sedimentation in the Canada de los Alamos basin, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, California
J. M. Knott
1980, Water Supply Paper 2061
An assessment of present erosion and sedimentation conditions in the Ca?ada de los Alamos basin was made to aid in estimating the impact of off-road-vehicle use on the sediment yield of the basin. Impacts of off-road vehicles were evaluated by reconnaissance techniques and by comparing the study area with other...
Channel and dynamic flow characteristics of the Chattahoochee River, Buford Dam to Georgia Highway 141
Robert E. Faye, Rodney N. Cherry
1980, Water Supply Paper 2063
Detailed flow and cross-section data for a 17-mile reach of the Chattahoochee River in northeast Georgia are described and summarized. Flow data include measurements of highly dynamic stage and discharge at five stations during the period March 21-23, 1976. Flow data were collected at 5-minute intervals and are listed accordingly....
Relationships between basic soils-engineering equations and basic ground-water flow equations
Donald G. Jorgensen
1980, Water Supply Paper 2064
The many varied though related terms developed by ground-water hydrologists and by soils engineers are useful to each discipline, but their differences in terminology hinder the use of related information in interdisciplinary studies. Equations for the Terzaghi theory of consolidation and equations for ground-water flow are identical under specific conditions....

Suspended-sediment discharge in five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before, during, and after highway construction
Lloyd A. Reed
1980, Water Supply Paper 2072
Rainfall, streamflow, sediment, and turbidity data were collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on suspended-sediment discharges in streams. The study was also designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharge. Although highway construction increased suspended-sediment discharges from two...
The effect of dissolution of volcanic glass on the water chemistry in a tuffaceous aquifer, Rainier Mesa, Nevada
Art F. White, H.C. Claassen, Larry V. Benson
1980, Water Supply Paper 1535-Q
Geochemistry of ground water associated with the Tertiary tuffs within Rainier Mesa, southern Nevada, was investigated to determine the relative importance of glass dissolution in controlling water chemistry. Water samples were obtained both from interstitial pores in core sections and from free-flowing fractures. Cation com- positions showed that calcium and...
