Ground-water exploration in the South Kohala district, Hawaii County, Hawaii, using vertical electrical sounding
James P. Kauahikaua, Dallas B. Jackson
1983, Open-File Report 83-67
Ten deep electrical resistivity soundings were completed across the island of Hawai?i near the town of Waimea in an effort to locate high-level, dike-impounded water. The resistivity data did not support the existence of a high-level water occurrence. Instead, the data show that a thick basal fresh-water lens underlies the...
Stratigraphy, structure, and palinspastic synthesis of the western Brooks Range, northwestern Alaska
Charles F. Mayfield, Irvin L. Tailleur, Inyo Ellersieck
1983, Open-File Report 83-779
This report is an effort to describe and decipher the mid-Paleozoic to Lower Cretaceous stratigraphy and the orogenic evolution of the western Brooks Range. The western Brooks Range primarily is composed of stacks of complexly deformed thrust sheets that contain mostly coeval sequences of rocks with slightly different lithologic facies....

Joe Edds
1983, Open-File Report 83-268
About 640 ground-water level measurements were made in observation wells in Arkansas in the spring of 1981. In addition , the report contains potentiometric-surface maps and well hydrographs relating to the alluvial aquifer and the Sparta Sand , the most important aquifers with respect to ground-water availability and use in...

Occurrence, quality, and use of ground water in Orcas, San Juan, Lopez, and Shaw Islands, San Juan County, Washington
K. J. Whiteman, Dee Molenaar, J.M. Jacoby, G.V. Bortleson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4019
Ground water, which supplies most of San Juan County 's water needs, occurs in both bedrock and glacial drift. Water in the bedrock occurs in fractures in the otherwise dense, poorly permeable rock. Deposits of sand and gravel in the glacial drift provide the best yields to wells drilled into...

Ground-water hydrology before, during, and after coal strip mining of a small watershed in Coshocton County, Ohio
A. C. Razem
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4155
Ground-water conditions before, during, and after surface mining of a small watershed are described as part of a study to determine the effects of mining on hydrologic systems. The watershed was underlain by stratified sedimentary rocks containing three aquifers. The top and middle aquifers were perched above clay beds that...
Water resources data, Georgia, water year 1982
W. R. Stokes III, T.W. Hale, J. L. Pearman, G. R. Buell
1983, Water Data Report GA-82-1
Water resources data for the 1982 water year for Georgia consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and ground-water levels. This report contains discharge records of 109 gaging stations; stage for 10 gaging stations; stage and contents for 17...

Selected hydrologic data, Kolob-Alton-Kaiparowits coal-fields area, south-central Utah
Gerald G. Plantz
1983, Open-File Report 83-871
The Kolob-Alton-Kaiparowits coal-field area (pi. 1) includes about 4,500 square miles in parts of the Colorado River Basin and the Great Basin. The area varies in altitude from less than 4,000 to more than 10,000 feet, and is comprised chiefly of plateaus, benches, and terraces that are dissected by deep,...

Water quality was investigated from October 1980 to May 1983 in an area of abandoned coal mines in Haskell county, Oklahoma. Bedrock in the area is shale, siltstone, sandstone, and the McAlester (Stigler) and Hartshorne coals of the McAlester Formation and Hartshorne Sandstone of Pennsylvanian age. The two coal beds,...

Electrical and magnetic properties of rock and soil
J. H. Scott
1983, Open-File Report 83-915
Field and laboratory measurements have been made to determine the electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and magnetic permeability of rock and soil in areas of interest in studies of electromagnetic pulse propagation. Conductivity is determined by making field measurements of apparent resisitivity at very low frequencies (0-20 cps), and interpreting the...

1983, Open-File Report 83-131
Safety, defined as 'freedom from danger, risk, or injury,' is difficult to achieve in a laboratory environment. Inherent dangers, associated with water analysis and research laboratories where hazardous samples, materials, and equipment are used, must be minimized to protect workers, buildings, and equipment. Managers, supervisors, analysts, and laboratory support personnel...
