Physical and hydrologic environments of the Mulberry coal reserves in eastern Kansas
J. F. Kenny, H.E. Bevans, A.M. Diaz
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4074
Strippable reserves of Mulberry coal underlie an area of approximately 300 square miles of Miami, Linn, and Bourbon Counties of eastern Kansas. Although subject to State reclamation law, current and projected strip mining of this relatively thin coal seam could alter and hydrologic environment of the study area. Drained by...
The lanthanides and yttrium in minerals of the apatite group; a review
Michael Fleischer, Z. S. Altschuler
1982, Open-File Report 82-783
More than 1000 analyses have been tabulated of the distribution of the lanthanides and yttrium in minerals of the apatite group, recalculated to atomic percentages. Average compositions have been calculated for apatites from 14 types of rocks. These show a progressive change of composition from apatites of granitic pegmatites, highest...

1982, Open-File Report 82-355
The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Leon County is currently (1981) developing a lumped-parameter, rainfall-runoff model for the urban area of the county. Flood information from 16 sites is being collected and will be analyzed to define hydrologic relations useful for estimating magnitude and frequency of discharges in urban...

Use of geophysical logs in recognizing depositional environments in the Tongue River Member of the Fort Union Formation, Powder River area, Wyoming and Montana
R. M. Flores, J.C. Toth, T.A. Moore
1982, Open-File Report 82-576
The environmental conditions under which rocks in the Paleocene Tongue River Member of the Fort Union Formation were deposited in the Powder River area, Wyoming and Montana, can be determined using geophysical logs with some limitations. It is widely recognized that gamma ray and density logs are useful in identifying...
Streamflow characteristics related to channel geometry of streams in western United States
E. R. Hedman, W. R. Osterkamp
1982, Water Supply Paper 2193
Assessment of surface-mining and reclamation activities generally requires extensive hydrologic data. Adequate streamflow data from instrumented gaging stations rarely are available, and estimates of surface- water discharge based on rainfall-runoff models, drainage area, and basin characteristics sometimes have proven unreliable. Channel-geometry measurements offer an alternative method of quickly and inexpensively...

Ground-water withdrawals and changes in water levels in the Houston District, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch
1982, Open-File Report 82-431
During 1975-79, total withdrawals of ground water in the Houston district decreased by 9.7 percent. This percentage represents a decrease from 505 million gallons per day (22.1 cubic meters per second) during 1975, to 456 million gallons per day (20.0 cubic meters per second) during 1979. The decrease resulted from...
Origin of the Mariano Lake uranium deposit, McKinley County, New Mexico
Neil S. Fishman, Richard L. Reynolds
1982, Open-File Report 82-888
The Mariano Lake uranium deposit, hosted by the Brushy Basin Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation, occurs in the trough of an east-west trending syncline at the western end of the Smith Lake-Mariano Lake group of uranium deposits near Crownpoint, New Mexico. The orebody, which contains abundant amorphous organic material,...

Appraisal of the Pelican River sand-plain aquifer, western Minnesota
R. T. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-347
The Pelican River sand-plain area includes approximately 200 square miles of outwash deposits in parts of Decker, Otter Tail, and Clay Counties in west-central Minnesota. Saturated thickness of the outwash is as much as 140 feet and yields of properly constructed wells locally may exceed 1,200 gallons per minute. Recharge to...
Cost effective stream-gaging strategies for Maine
R. A. Fontaine
1982, Open-File Report 82-507
This report documents the successful application of the traveling-hydrographer program developed by Moss and Gilroy to stream-gaging operations. This application was novel in the consideration of winter discharge records for the period of backwater effects due to ice. The current level of operation in Maine was identified as requiring a...

1982, Open-File Report 82-597
Detailed geophysical measurements have been made in the Rabathan area, Wadi Bidah district, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, at the site of diamond drill holes RAB-1, -2, and -3; these measurements suggest that the causative source for the anomalous EM (electromagnetic) and SP (self-potential) responses is probably highly conductive zones of...

Jack Rawson
1982, Water Supply Paper 2084
A series of seven studies of the quality and quantity of low flows in a 35.5-mile reach of the Colorado River upstream from Colorado City, Tex., were made from February 1975 to March 1978 to delineate areas of saline inflows. These studies showed generally that ground water contributed throughout the...
