Quantitative analysis of the hydrothermal system in Lassen Volcanic National Park and Lassen Known Geothermal Resource Area
M.L. Sorey, S. E. Ingebritsen
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4278
The conceptual model of the Lassen system is termed a liquid-dominated hydrothermal system with a parasitic vapor-dominated zone. The essential feature of this model is that steam and steam-heated discharge at relatively high elevations in Lassen Volcanic National Park (LVNP) and liquid discharge with high chloride concentrations at relatively low...

Reconnaissance of the shallow-unconfined aquifer in Salt Lake Valley, Utah
R. L. Seiler, K.M. Waddell
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4272
The shallow-unconfined aquifer in Salt Lake (Jordan) Valley, Utah, seldom is used for domestic or industrial purposes because it yields water slowly and is readily contaminated. The water in the aquifer, however, can flood basements and is a potential source of contamination to other water supplies. In about one-half of...
Hole-to-surface resistivity measurements at Gibson Dome (drill hole GD-1) Paradox basin, Utah
J.J. Daniels
1984, Open-File Report 82-320
Hole-to-surface resistivity measurements were made in a deep drill hole (GD-1), in San Juan County, Utah, which penetrated a sequence of sandstone, shale, and evaporite. These measurements were made as part of a larger investigation to study the suitability of an area centered around the Gibson Dome structure for nuclear...

Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan Aquifer in central Sumter County, Florida, May 1984
L. A. Bradner
1984, Open-File Report 84-814
This map presents the potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan aquifer in central Sumter County, Florida, for May 1984. The Floridan aquifer system is the principal source of potable water in the area. The focus of the map is the potentiometric surface in the Jumper Creek Canal area. Water level...
Subsurface storage of freshwater in south Florida; evaluation of surface-water discharge data at selected sites
W. H. Sonntag
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4008
Canal discharge in south Florida may consist of a potential source of freshwater for deep-well injection. Discharge data for the 1970-81 water years at 27 canal and river sites were analyzed. Flow was analyzed for 30-, 60-, 90-, 120-, and 183-consecutive-day low-mean discharges during the periods of highest flow to...
A pragmatic approach to evaluating a multipurpose stream-gaging network
K.L. Wahl, J. R. Crippen
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4228
A method for evaluating the relative worth of individual streamflow gaging stations in a multipupose network is presented. Each individual gaging station in the network is evaluated on the basis of selected rating factors. The factors relate to the need for information at the gaging stations, accuracy of data, economic...
Sediment concentrations and loads in the Loxahatchee River estuary, Florida, 1980-82
Wayne H. Sonntag, Benjamin F. McPherson
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4157
This study was conducted to estimate the magnitude of sediment loads and the general spatial and temporal patterns of sediment transport in the Loxahatchee River estuary, Florida. Mean concentrations of suspended sediment generally were higher in the Jupiter Inlet area than in the remainder of the embayment area. Concentrations of...

Hydrology of Yucca Mountain and vicinity, Nevada-California — Investigative results through mid-1983
R. K. Waddell, J. H. Robison, R. K. Blankennagel
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4267
Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is one of several sites under consideration for construction of the first repository for high-level nuclear waste. The climate is arid; few perennial streams are present in the region. Flash floods occasionally occur. The site is underlain by at least 1,800 meters of volcanic tuffs of Tertiary...

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4055
The storm that moved across north-central Texas during October 11-13, 1981, produced intense rainfall along a line extending from east of Abilene, Texas to Breckenridge, Texas to north of Mineral Wells, Texas. Rainfall in excess of 20 inches was recorded near Clyde. Texas and in several locations near Breckenridge, Texas. The...
