Sources and mechanisms of recharge for ground water in the west-central Amargosa Desert, Nevada– A geochemical interpretation
H.C. Claassen
1983, Open-File Report 83-542
Ground water in the west-central Amargosa Desert, Nevada, was recharged primarily by overland flow of snowmelt in or near the present-day stream channels, rather than by subsurface flow from highland recharge areas to the north. Geochemical arguments, including reaction mechanisms, are used to support these findings. Carbon-, hydrogen-, and oxygen-isotope...
The U.S. Geological Survey's water resources program in New York
Denise A. Wiltshire
1983, Open-File Report 83-270
The U.S. Geological Survey performs hydrologic investigations throughout the United States to appraise the Nation's water resources. The Geological Survey began its water-resources investigations in New York in 1895. To meet the objectives of assessing New York's water resources, the Geological Survey (1) monitors the quantity and quality of surface...
Bibliography of U.S. Geological Survey reports on the water resources of Florida, 1886-1982
Maude Claiborne, L.O. Nierstheimer, N.D. Hoy
1983, Open-File Report 83-540
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been making investigations of the water resources of Florida since the latter part of the 19th century. Early work consisted mainly of data collection at a few spring and river sites at intermittent intervals with the exception of a statewide groundwater study made during...

Instrumentation used for hydraulic testing of potential water-bearing formations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in southeastern New Mexico
J.A. Basler
1983, Open-File Report 83-144
Requirements for testing hydrologic test wells at the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico, necessitated the use of inflatable formation packers and pressure transducers. Observations during drilling and initial development indicated small formation yields which would require considerable test times by conventional open-casing methods. A pressure-monitoring system...
Pumpage data from irrigation wells in eastern Laramie County, Wyoming, and Kimball County, Nebraska
Charles Avery
1983, Open-File Report 83-29
Quantitative information concerning pumpage by irrigation wells is an integral component of the U.S. Geological Survey High Plains Regional Aquifer System Analysis. Thus, operation time, discharge rate, and irrigated acreage were measured at approximately 450 randomly selected irrigation wells within 10 areas of the High Plains during the 1980 irrigation...
Helium concentrations in soil gas of the Ely and Delta 1° x 2° quadrangles, Basin and Range Province
G.M. Reimer, C.G. Bowles
1983, Open-File Report 83-589
A reconnaissance soil-gas helium survey was made of the Ely, Nevada and Delta, Utah 1? x 2? quadrangles in the Basin and Range Province. Helium concentrations in 510 samples ranged from -147 to 441 ppb He with respect to ambient air. The median helium value for the study area was...
Quality of surface water in the coal-mining region, southwestern Indiana, October 1979 to September 1980
D.E. Renn
1983, Open-File Report 83-680
The U.S. Geological Survey collected water-quality and other hydrologic data for surface water in the coal-mining region of southwestern Indiana. These data were collected at 85 sites in 19 counties during October 1979 and at 21 of the 85 sites in 12 of the 19 counties monthly from January through...
Geologic, geotechnical, and geophysical properties of core from the Acme Fire-Pit-1 drill hole, Sheridan County, Wyoming
Donley S. Collins
1983, Open-File Report 83-69
A preliminary core study from the Acme Fire-Pit-1 drill hole, Sheridan County, Wyoming, revealed that the upper portion of the core had been baked by a fire confined to the underlying Monarch coal bed. The baked (clinkered) sediment above the Monarch coal bed was determined to have higher point-load strength...
Effects of ground-water development in the North Fort Hood area, Coryell County, Texas
W.M. Sandeen
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4074
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying the adequacy of the existing ground-water supplies of North Fort Hood, located in Coryell County in central Texas and an important part of the U.S. Army's Fort Hood Military Reservation. The U.S. Geological Survey was requested to compile the available ground-water data,...

Spectral analysis of the 1976 aeromagnetic survey of Harrat Rahat, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
H. Richard Blank, Hamdy S. Sadek
1983, Open-File Report 83-640
Harrat Rahat, an extensive plateau of Cenozoic mafic lava on the Precambrian shield of western Saudi Arabia, has been studied for its water resource and geothermal potential. In support of these investigations, the thickness of the lava sequence at more than 300 points was estimated by spectral analysis of low-level...

Quality of ground water in southern Buchanan County, Virginia
Stanley M. Rogers, John D. Powell
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4022
In seven small contiguous stream basins in the coal area of southwest Virginia, ground water is predominantly bicarbonate in anion composition, with calcium as the major cation in the ridges and sodium the major cation in the lower altitudes. Sulfate is the major anion in water associated with coal seams...
