Documentation of potential for surface faulting related to ground-water withdrawal in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-79
Leveling data collected in Las Vegas Valley are compatible with the interpretation that ongoing land-surface displacements related to ground-water withdrawal may be precursory to fault offset of the land surface. Zones of potential faulting intersect regions of intense urban development. The degree of risk and the potential economic consequences from...

Catalog of locations of U.S.G.S. instruments recording low-frequency data in California
William B. Daul, M.J.S. Johnston
1978, Open-File Report 78-358
During the past few years, the U.S. Geological Survey has installed many different types of instrumentation for the observation and detection of crustal deformation within the San Andreas fault system. In order to have an effective earthquake prediction program, it is important to have continuous data from these instruments collected...

Stormwater-runoff data for a highway area, Broward County, Florida
Jack Hardee, Robert A. Miller, Harold C. Mattraw Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-612
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for both rainfall and runoff are summarized for a highway area near Pompano Beach, Florida. Loads for 20 water-quality constituents were computed for the runoff from 41 storms between April 1975, and July 1977. The basin of 58.3 acres contains a 3,000 ft segment...
Hydrogeologic data for the South Cross Bayou test injection site, Pinellas County, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-575
One exploratory hole, a test injection well, and nine monitor wells were constructed at the South Cross Bayou test-injection site between January 1973 and October 1975. At the test site, the first 125 feet below land surface is predominantly limestone and clay; from 125 to 3,280 feet it is mostly...
Hydrologic data for the Antlers aquifer, southeastern Oklahoma
Robert E. Davis, Donald L. Hart Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-1038
The U.S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies.The information in this report was obtained in the field, from published reports (Davis, 1960, Hart,...
Selected data from thermal-spring areas, southwestern Montana
Robert B. Leonard, Tordis M. Brosten, Norman A. Midtlyng
1978, Open-File Report 78-438
During 1975-77 the Montana district of the U.S. Geological Survey collected and assembled data describing the flow, temperature, and chemical characteristics of thermal and related waters. The work was part of an assessment of the geothermal resources of southwestern Montana, excluding Yellowstone Park. The purpose of this report is to...
Water-quality investigation near the Chico and Hunters geothermal lease-application areas, Park and Sweet Grass counties, Montana

1978, Open-File Report 78-199
Water quality in and adjacent to geothermal lease-application areas near Chico and Hunters Hot Springs was investigated during two surveys in October 1976 and April 1977. The resulting data were needed to evaluate the effects of proposed geothermal exploration and development on the Yellowstone River and its tributaries.Waters from the...

A progress report on estuary modeling by the finite-element method
William G. Gray
1978, Open-File Report 78-479
Various schemes are investigated for finite-element modeling of two-dimensional surface-water flows. The first schemes investigated combine finite-element spatial discretization with split-step time stepping schemes that have been found useful in finite-difference computations. Because of the large number of numerical integrations performed in space and the large sparse matrices solved, these...
