Water quality at and adjacent to the south Dade County solid-waste disposal facility, Florida
D.J. McKenzie
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4003
A water-quality reconnaissance was conducted at the south Dade County solid-waste landfill near Goulds, Florida, from December 1977 through August 1978. The landfill is located directly on the unconfined Biscayne aquifer, which, in the study area, is affected by saltwater intrusion. Water samples collected from six monitor well sites at...

Fortran computer programs to plot and process aquifer pressure and temperature data
J.B. Czarnecki
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4051
Two FORTRAN computer programs have been written to process water-well temperature and pressure data recorded automatically by a datalogger on magnetic tape. These programs process the data into tabular and graphical form. Both programs are presented with documentation. Sample plots of temperature versus time, water levels versus time, aquifer pressure...
Effect of the proposed Cooper River rediversion on sedimentation in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina
G. G. Patterson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4198
The rates of sedimentation and of resultant maintenance dredging in Charleston Harbor increased dramatically in the 1940s, following two major modifications to the harbor. One modification, the Santee-Cooper diversion project, caused a twentyfold increase in freshwater inflow to the harbor. The other modification was deepening of the navigation channels in...

Chronology of late Pleistocene and Holocene volcanics, Long Valley and Mono Basin geothermal areas, eastern California
S. H. Wood
1983, Open-File Report 83-747
Hydration-rind ages based on hydration-rind thicknesses of obsidian and an assumed hydration rate of 5 microns /1000 yrs have been determined for the 26 exposed Mono domes and coulees. Hydration-rind thickness data give good estimates of relative age differences between the domes, but determination of absolute ages will depend upon...
Chemical data and statistical interpretations for rocks and ores from the Ranger uranium mine, Northern Territory, Australia
J. Thomas Nash, David Frishman
1983, Open-File Report 83-239
Analytical results for 61 elements in 370 samples from the Ranger Mine area are reported. Most of the rocks come from drill core in the Ranger No. 1 and Ranger No. 3 deposits, but 20 samples are from unmineralized drill core more than 1 km from ore. Statistical tests show...

Reservoir-development impacts on surface-water quantity and quality in the Yampa River basin, Colorado and Wyoming
D. Briane Adams, Daniel P. Bauer, Robert H. Dale, Timothy Doak Steele
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-30
Development of coal resources and associated economy is accelerating in the Yampa River basin in northwestern Colorado and south-central Wyoming. Increased use of the water resources of the area will have a direct impact on their quantity and quality. As part of 18 surface-water projects, 35 reservoirs have been proposed...
Geology of the "20-foot" clay and Gardiners clay in southern Nassau and southwestern Suffolk counties, Long Island, New York
T.P. Doriski, Franceska Wilde-Katz
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4056
Data from 1978-79 drilling was compiled with information from previous reports and historical records to prepare surface contour and isopach maps of the ' 20-foot ' clay and Gardiners Clay in southern Nassau and southwestern Suffolk Counties. These units are major confining layers in the upper part of the groundwater...
Improvement of flood-frequency estimates for selected small watersheds in eastern Kansas using a rainfall-runoff model
R.W. Clement
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4110
The U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff model was used to estimate model parameters for 13 small watersheds in eastern Kansas with drainage areas of less than 11 square miles. Model parameters and rainfall data from three long-term rainfall stations were used in the model to synthesize long-term records of simulated annual...
Chloride concentrations in the coastal margin of the Floridan Aquifer, southwest Florida
K.W. Causseaux, J. D. Fretwell
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4070
The Floridan aquifer is the principal source of freshwater supply in southwest Florida. The freshwater part of the aquifer is underlain by saltwater in lower formations and is bounded on the west by saltwater in the coastal parts of the aquifer. A zone of mixing lies between the saltwater and...
Subsurface storage of freshwater in South Florida; a digital analysis of recoverability
Michael L. Merritt
1983, Open-File Report 83-536
As part of a feasibility study of cyclic freshwater injection, digital models were implemented to analyze the relation of recovery efficiency to various hydrogeologic conditions which could prevail in brackish aquifers and to various management regimes. The analyses implemented an approach in which the control for sensitivity testing was a...
Computer-generated mineral commodity deposit maps
Paul G. Schruben, J. Thomas Hanley
1983, Open-File Report 83-410
This report describes an automated method of generating deposit maps of mineral commodity information. In addition, it serves as a user's manual for the authors' mapping system. Procedures were developed which allow commodity specialists to enter deposit information, retrieve selected data, and plot deposit symbols in any geographic area within...

Water resources of Hanson and Davison Counties, South Dakota
D. S. Hansen
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4108
Five glacial and four bedrock aquifers were delineated in Hanson and Davison Counties. The glacial aquifers, outwash deposits confined by as much as 275 feet of glacial till, are the Floyd, Plum Creek, Ethan, Warren, and Alexandria. The bedrock aquifers are the Niobrara, Codell, Dakota, and Sioux Quartzite Wash, and...

Multichannel seismic-reflection data show the late Cenozoic structure, seismic stratigraphy, and geologic history of the Yakataga segment of the continental margin, between Icy Bay and Kayak Island, northern Gulf of Alaska. The structure of the Yakataga segment consists of broad folds and associated thrust faults beneath the continental shelf and...
Technique for estimating depth of floods in Tennessee
C. R. Gamble
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4050
Estimates of flood depths are needed for design of roadways across flood plains and for other types of construction along streams. Equations for estimating flood depths in Tennessee were derived using data for 150 gaging stations. The equations are based on drainage basin size and can be used to estimate...
