The international symposium "Conservation of Marine Birds of Northern North America" was convened because of a growing awareness that not all was well with our marine birds. The symposium provided a forum for scientists, governmental administrators, conservationists, and laypeople to discuss the diverse topics and issues that we must all...
Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods on rural unregulated streams in New York State excluding Long Island
Thomas J. Zembrzuski Jr., Bernard Dunn
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-83
Techniques are presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods at ungaged sites on unregulated rural streams in New York, excluding Long Island. The discharge-frequency data and basin characteristics of 220 stream-gaging stations in New York and adjacent States were used in developing multiple linear regression equations for floods...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the New Driver-Cave Creek area, Maricopa and Yavapai counties, Arizona; 1977
G. R. Littin
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-1068
The New River-Cave Creek area includes about 500 square miles in central Arizona. The ground-water conditions vary greatly owing to large differences in rock type and extent of fracturing. Information shown on the maps includes depth to water, altitude of the water level, well depth, and specific conductance and fluoride...

1979, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 880-D
An aeromagnetic survey of the Seward and northern part of the Blying Sound quadrangles was flown by Geometrics, Inc., during 1975-77 to provide magnetic data to aid in an appraisal of the mineral resources. Background details of the regional geology and major structures are described in a companion report by...

Effect of Surface Coal Mining on the Hydrology of Crooked and Turkey Creek Basins, Jefferson County, Alabama
Celso Puente, John G. Newton
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-91
Streamflow, sediment yield, and water quality were monitored from October 1975 through May 1977 to determine the impact of surface coal mining on the hydrology of Crooked and Turkey Creek basins in Jefferson County, Alabama. The basins are in the northeast part of the Warrior coal field. Coal is and...
Water-table map of Kenosha County, Wisconsin
M.G. Sherrill, J.J. Schiller
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-39
A map (scale 1:100,000) of the water table in Kenosha County in southeastern Wisconsin was prepared using water levels from more than 200 wells. The work was done as a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The map shows the altitude of...
A facility designed to monitor the unsaturated zone during infiltration of tertiary-treated sewage, Long Island, New York

1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-48
A facility consisting of a circular recharge basin 6.10 meters in diameter with a central observation manhole was developed on Long Island, N.Y., to study the role of the unsaturated zone during aquifer recharge with tertiary-treated sewage. The manhole extends through most of the 7.5-meter-thick unsaturated zone, which is composed...
