Ground-water-level monitoring for earthquake prediction: A progress report based on data collected in southern California, 1976-79
W. R. Moyle Jr.
1980, Open-File Report 80-413
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a research program to determine if groundwater-level measurements can be used for earthquake prediction. Earlier studies suggest that water levels in wells may be responsive to small strains on the order of 10 to the minus 8th power to 10 to the minus 10th...

1980, Open-File Report 80-239
In order to develop new data pertaining to the tectonic setting and potential geologic hazards in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and northern Puget Sound, a cooperative seismic reflection profile, gravity, and magnetic survey was conducted aboard the Canadian Survey Ship PARIZEAU in 1972. Results of approximately 2300 km...

George S. Macpherson, Janis Bernstein
1980, Open-File Report 80-645
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas exploration and development have been under way in the Pacific (Southern California) Region since 1966. During that time, there have been four Federal lease sales: in 1966, 1968, 1975 (Sale 35), and 1979 (Sale 48). Oil and gas production from three leases has...

Exploration for petroleum on the Continental Shelf and Slope off the eastern United States has generated great interest in the quantity and quality of data available to evaluate the nature and magnitude of possible geological enveironmental hazards. This set of maps presents a compilation of publicly available geological and geophysical...
Flood of June 18, 1978, on Honey Creek tributary at Thornville, Ohio
Earl E. Webber, Ronald I. Mayo
1980, Open-File Report 80-16
A high-intensity summer rain estimated at 8 inches in 2 hours caused flooding on a small stream near Thornville, Ohio, destroying a culvert and highway fill on State Route 188. Computation of peak discharges of 3,250 feet3 per second at a site 4,400 feet above and of 4,050 feet3 per...

Ground-water models for water resources planning
John E. Moore
1980, Open-File Report 80-581
In the past decade hydrologists have emphasized the development of computer-based mathematical models to aid in the understanding of flow, the transport of solutes, transport of heat, and deformation in the groundwater system. These models have been used to provide information and predictions for water managers. Too frequently, groundwater was...
Potential for using the Upper Coachella Valley ground-water basin, California, for storage of artificially recharged water
Michael J. Mallory, Lindsay A. Swain, Stephen J. Tyley
1980, Open-File Report 80-599
This report presents a preliminary evaluation of the geohydrologic factors affecting storage of water by artificial recharge in the upper Coachella Valley, Calif. The ground-water basin of the upper Coachella Valley seems to be geologically suitable for large-scale artificial recharge. A minimum of 900 ,000 acre-feet of water could probably...

Hydraulic characteristics of an underdrained irrigation circle, Muskegon County wastewater disposal system, Michigan
M.G. McDonald
1980, Open-File Report 80-773
Muskegon County, Michigan, disposes of wastewater by spray irrigating farmland on its waste-disposal site. Buried drains in the highly permeable unconfined aquifer at the site control the level of the water table. Hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer and drain-leakance, the reciprocal of resistance to flow into the drains, was determined...
Bedrock topography of southwest Iowa
Lyle Sendlein, Jack L. Gilmore
1980, IMAP 1222
The bedrock in Iowa (Hershey, 1969) is generally overlain by unconsolidataed deposits consisting of glacial drift, alluvium, and loess. Loess deposits are most extensive in areas bordering the Missouri River flood plain, attaining a thickness of over 200ft in some places. The total thickness of the unconsolidated sediments ranges from...
