Effect of urbanization on the water resources of Warminster Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania
R. A. Sloto, D.K. Davis
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4020
Rapid suburban development occurred in Warminster Township and the surrounding area after World War II, resulting in a large population dependent on ground water. In 1980, approximately 2.7 billion gallons of ground water was pumped by public water suppliers and government facilities. Pumping wells can cause drawdown as far as...

1983, Open-File Report 82-873
Rainfall-runoff data from small watersheds in Colorado are being collected and analyzed for the purpose of defining the flood characteristics of these and other similar areas. Rainfall-runoff collected from October 1977 through September 1980 at a total of 37 urban stations, 10 Denver Federal Center stations, and 41 rural (or...
Operation of hydrologic data collection stations by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1983
Alberto Condes de la Torre
1983, Open-File Report 83-862
The U.S. Geological Survey operated hydrologic data collection stations during 1983 in response to the needs of all levels of Government for hydrologic information. Surface-water discharge was determined at 11,076 stations; stage data on streams, reservoirs, and lakes were recorded at 2,136 stations; and surface-water quality was determined at 4,610...
Water resources of the Fort Union coal region, east-central Montana
S.E. Slagle
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4151
The shallow ground-water system in the Fort Union coal region overlies the Upper Cretaceous Bearpaw Shale. It includes the Upper Cretaceous Fox Hills Sandstone and the overlying Hell Creek Formation, Paleocene Fort Union Formation, and Pleistocene and Holocene glacial deposits, terrace deposits, and alluvium. Two general flow patterns are present...
Annual water-resources review, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, 1982
R. R. Cruz
1983, Open-File Report 83-695
Ground-water data were collected in 1982 at White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. Depth-to-water measurements in the Post Headquarters supply wells continued to show seasonal declines. Test wells east of the Headquarters well field continue to show long-term declines as well as seasonal fluctuations. The total amount of...
Hydrology of the Ogallala aquifer in Ford County, southwestern Kansas
J. M. Spinazola, M.T. Dealy
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4226
The rapid increase of ground-water withdrawal has caused concern over the future use of the Ogallala aquifer, the principal source of water in Ford County, in southwestern Kansas. Saturated portions of deposits of Tertiary and Quaternary age--excluding the Arkansas River alluvium--form the Ogallala aquifer. Saturated thickness of the Ogallala ranged...

Selected ground-water data in parts of Gilliam, Morrow, and Umatilla counties, Oregon
P.A. Smith, C. A. Collins, L.J. Olson
1983, Open-File Report 83-34
Over the last 20 years there has been a shift from dryland to irrigated agriculture in parts of Gilliam, Morrow, and Umatilla Counties in northeastern Oregon. Some irrigation water used in this area obtained from surface sources, but a significant amount is obtained from wells. The principal aquifer in the...
Saudi Arabian seismic deep-refraction profiles; final project report

1983, Open-File Report 83-390
In February 1978 a seismic deep-refraction profile was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey along a 1000-km line across the Arabian Shield in western Saudi Arabia. The line begins in Mesozoic cover rocks near Riyadh on the Arabian Platform, leads southwesterly across three major Precambrian tectonic provinces, traverses Cenozoic rocks...

Water resources of the Tulalip Indian Reservation, Washington
B. W. Drost
1983, Open-File Report 82-648
Water will play a significant role in the future development of the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Ground-water resources are sufficient to supply several times the 1978 population. Potential problems associated with increased ground-water development are saltwater encroachment in the coastal areas and septic-tank contamination of shallow aquifers. There are sufficient good-quality...

Evaluation of water levels in major aquifers of the New Jersey coastal plain, 1978
R.L. Walker
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4077
Increased withdrawals from the major artesian aquifers that underlie the New Jersey Coastal Plain have caused water-level declines and large regional cones of depression. These cones of depression are delineated on detailed potentiometric surface maps produced from water-level data collected in the field in 1978. Water levels for 1978 are...
