Water levels and salinities of water within the Evangeline Aquifer in an area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas
Paul Rettman
1983, Open-File Report 82-174
During 1982, about 275 wells located in a 4,680 square-mile area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas were measured to determine water-levels and specific conductance of water in the Evangeline aquifer. A large cone of depression with a maximum depth of 200 feet below NGVD of 1929 was identified near Kingsville....

Wasatch Front urban area seismic response data report, Utah
Kenneth W. King, W. W. Hays, P. J. McDermott
1983, Open-File Report 83-452
Little strong-motion data exists for seismic motions in the Intermountain seismic belt. Measurements of low-strain ground motions at 82 different locations in the urban areas of the Intermountain seismic belt were made to investigate the variations of ground-motion characteristics of a seismic data base for ground-motion hazards study. The low-strain...

1983, Open-File Report 82-771
The rockslide/debris avalanche from the north face of Mount St. Helens that precipitated the volcano 's eruption on May 18, 1980 , blocked outflow from Spirit Lake, Washington. There has been no surface outflow since that time. From May 21, 1980, when the first measurement of lake level was made,...
Distribution and quantitative assessment of world crude oil reserves and resources
Charles D. Masters, David H. Root, William D. Dietzman
1983, Open-File Report 83-728
World Demonstrated Reserves of crude oil are approximately 723 billion barrels of oil (BBO). Cumulative production is 445 BBO and annual production is 20 BBO. Demonstrated Reserves of crude-oil have declined over the past 10 years consistent with discoveries lagging production over the same period. The assessment of Undiscovered Resources...
Specifications for updating USGS land use and land cover maps
Valerie A. Milazzo
1983, Open-File Report 83-116
To meet the increasing demands for up-to-date land use and land cover information, a primary goal of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) national land use and land cover mapping program is to provide for periodic updating of maps and data in a timely and uniform manner. The technical specifications for...

Reconnaissance of benthic invertebrates from tributary streams of the Yampa and North Platte River basins, northwestern Colorado
L. J. Britton
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4191
Benthic invertebrates were collected from tributaries of the Yampa River in Routt and Moffat Counties, and tributaries of the North Platte River in Jackson County. Field water-quality measurements of water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and bed material size were also made to aid in assessing stream water-quality conditions....

Problems in estimating self-supplied industrial water use by indirect methods, the California example
R.J. Burt
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4276
Consumptive fresh-water use by industry in California is estimated at about 230 million gallons per day, or about one-half of one percent of agricultural withdrawals in the State , and only about 1 percent of agricultural consumptive use. Therefore, a significant State-wide realignment of the total water resources could not...
Nevada - basic data for thermal springs and wells as recorded in Geotherm; Part A
James D. Bliss
1983, Open-File Report 83-433-A
GEOTHERM, a computerized information system now off-line, was used to maintain data on the geology, geochemistry and hydrology of geothermal sites primarily within the United States. The system was proposed at the First Geothermal Implementation Conference in New Zealand in 1974 (Swanson, 1977) and was active until 1983. The primary...

1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4159
Results of a study using a rainfall simulator to define infiltration parameters for use in watershed modeling are presented. A total of 23 rainfall-simulation runs were made on five small plots representing four representative soil-vegetation types of the study watershed in eastern Colorado. Data for three observed rainfall-runoff events were...
