Maurice E. Cooley
1979, Open-File Report 79-1496
A reconnaissance was made of some of the effects of uranium development on erosion and associated sedimentation in the southern San Juan Basin, where uranium development is concentrated. In general, the effects of exploration on erosion are minor, although erosion may be accelerated by the building of access roads, by...

1979, Open-File Report 79-547
This catalog presents data collected during the initial three and a half years (May 1975 through December 1978) of an ongoing field experiment in which radon concentration of subsurface soil gas is continuously monitored by a network of stations deployed along active faults in central California. The purpose of this...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in western Oregon
David Dell Harris, Larry L. Hubbard, Lawrence E. Hubbard
1979, Open-File Report 79-553
A method for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods is presented for unregulated streams in western Oregon. Equations relating flood magnitude to basin characteristics were developed for exceedance probabilities of 0.5 to 0.01 (2- to 100-year recurrence intervals). Separate equations are presented for four regions: Coast, Willamette, Rogue-Umpqua, and...
Water budget and mathematical model of the Coconino Aquifer, southern Navajo County, Arizona
Larry J. Mann
1979, Open-File Report 79-348
The main source of water in the 3,400-square-mile area of southern Navajo County is the large volume of ground water in storage in the Coconino aquifer, which consists of the Coconino Sandstone, the uppermost part of the underlying Supai Formation, and the overlying Kaibab Limestone. The amount of water withdrawn...
Availability of supplemental water supplies at salmonid fish-propagation stations in Wisconsin
