1983, Open-File Report 83-183
This map is one of a series of three reconnaissance geologic maps of the southern De Long Mountains quadrangle (fig. 1). Because the geology in the three map areas is similar, a composite map explanation has been designed to facilitate their combined use and give a better perspective of the...
The effects of water content and water resistivity on the dispersion of resistivity and dielectric constant in quartz sand in the frequency range 10^2 to 10^8 Hz
W.R. Eberle
1983, Open-File Report 83-914
Using modifications of previously developed methods, measurements were made of the resistivity and the dielectric constant of two similar quartz sands of different porosity over the frequency range 102-108 Hertz for various water contents and water resistivities. Dispersion is pronounced in all the resistivity data above 106 Hz. As 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...
Analyses of elutriates, native water, and bottom material in selected rivers and estuaries in western Oregon and Washington
Gregory J. Fuhrer, Frank A. Rinella
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...

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:...
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...

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...
Data for ground-water test hole near Nicolaus, Central Valley aquifer project, California

1983, Open-File Report 83-273
Preliminary data are provided for the third of seven test holes drilled as a part of the Central Valley Aquifer Project which is part of the National Regional Aquifer Systems Analysis Program. The test hole was drilled in the SW 1/4 NE 1/4 sec. 2, T.12N., R.3E., Sutter County, California,...
Geohydrology and water resources of the Papago Farms-Great Plain area, Papago Indian Reservation, Arizona, and the upper Rio Sonoyta area, Sonora, Mexico
K.J. Hollett
1983, Open-File Report 83-774
The Papago Farms-Great Plain and upper Rio Sonoyta study area includes about 490 square miles in south-central Arizona and north-central Sonora, Mexico. In the study area 23,700 acre-feet of ground water from the basin-fill deposits was used to irrigate more than 5,000 acres in 1981. Surface water is not a...
Records of selected wells and lithologic logs of test holes, Hendry County and adjacent areas, Florida
John E. Fish, Carmen R. Causaras, T.H. O’Donnell
1983, Open-File Report 83-134
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,...

1983, Open-File Report 83-815
Electromagnetic induction data using distant field sources, mostly of natural origin, in the frequency range of 4.5-27,000 Hz are analyzed to depict the geoelectric structure in an area of volcanic-rock cover located in southeastern Arizona between the Morenci and Safford porphyry copper deposits. The data for each station consist of...
Geochemical characteristics of the Church Rock 1 and 1 East uranium deposits, Grants uranium region, New Mexico
