1983, Open-File Report 83-337
The Snake Creek-Williams Canyon pluton of the southern Snake Range crops out over an area of about 30 km 2, about 60 km southeast of Ely, Nev. This Jurassic intrusion displays large and systematic chemical and mineralogical zonation over a horizontal distance of 5 km. Major-element variations compare closely with...
Base flow of streams in the outcrop area of southeastern sand aquifer: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi
Virginia Stricker
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4106
The base flow component of streamflow was separated from hydrographs for unregulated streams in the Cretaceous and Tertiary clastic outcrop area of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The base flow values are used in estimating recharge to the sand aquifer. Relations developed between mean annual base flow and stream...

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...

To provide water-resource information for Hendry County, Florida , geologic test holes were drilled in the surficial aquifer, and an extensive inventory was compiled of wells in the surficial aquifer and deep artesian aquifers. This report provides: (1) records for 788 selected wells and test holes including location , construction,...
Results of a test well in the Nanafalia Formation near Melvin, Choctaw County, Alabama
M. E. Davis, A.K. Sparkes, B.S. Peacock
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4108
Test drilling at Melvin, Choctaw County, Alabama, discloses that the Nanafalia Formation (Paleocene) contains freshwater in sand at a distance of 25 miles downdip from the outcrop area. A nearby fault on the north side of Gilberttown-Pickens fault zone does not appear to affect either the head or the water...
Base flow and ground water in upper Sweetwater Valley, Tennessee
R. D. Evaldi, J.G. Lewis
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4068
Base flow measurements showed interbasin transfer of water among sub-basins of upper Sweetwater Valley. In general, topographically higher sub-basins have deficient surface outflow unless significant spring flow occurs in the basin. Topographically lower areas adjacent to the main channel of Sweetwater Creek generally have surplus flow. Major flow surpluses were...
Stratigraphy, structure, and some petrographic features of Tertiary volcanic rocks at the USW G-2 drill hole, Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada
Florian Maldonado, S. L. Koether
1983, Open-File Report 83-732
A continuously cored drill hole designated as USW G-2, located at Yucca Mountain in southwestern Nevada, penetrated 1830.6 m of Tertiary volcanic strata composed of abundant silicic ash-flow tuffs, minor lava and flow breccias, and subordinate volcaniclastic rocks. The volcanic strata penetrated are comprised of the following in descending order:...
Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia
R.F. Carter
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4158
The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated...
Geochemical characteristics of the Church Rock 1 and 1 East uranium deposits, Grants uranium region, New Mexico
Neil S. Fishman, Richard L. Reynolds
1983, Open-File Report 83-194
In the Church Rock 1 and 1 East mines, Grants uranium region (GUR), New Mexico, uranium orebodies occur within three sandstone units in the upper part of the Westwater Canyon Member of the late Jurassic Morrison Formation. Geochemical analyses reveal that organic carbon contents in ore samples from all three...

1983, Open-File Report 82-922
Chemical analyses of elutriates, bottom sediment and water samples for selected metals, nutrients and organic compounds including insecticides and herbicides have been made to provide data to determine short-term water quality conditions associated with dredging operations in rivers and estuaries. Between May and December 1980 data were collected as far...
