Movement of moisture in the unsaturated zone in a loess-mantled area, southwestern Kansas
Robert C. Prill
1977, Professional Paper 1021
A study of moisture movement associated with ponding near Garden City, Kansas, indicates that loess-manted areas have excellent potential for artificial recharge by water spreading. Infiltration stabilized at rates ranging from 0.7 to 2.2 feet (0.2 to 0.7 meter) per day reflecting changes in hydraulic conductivity of soil horizons. Results...

Calculation of gravity and magnetic anomalies along profiles with end corrections and inverse solutions for density and magnetization
John W. Cady
1977, Open-File Report 77-463
An equation derived for the vertical gravity field due to a body with polygonal cross section and finite strike length. The equations consists of the 2-dimensional equation of Talwani, Worzel, and Landisman (1959), with the addition of end corrections. Equations for the magnetic field due to a similar body were...

Effects of the catastrophic flood of December 1966, north rim area, eastern Grand Canyon, Arizona
Maurice E. Cooley, B. N. Aldridge, Robert C. Euler
1977, Professional Paper 980
Precipitation from the unusual storm of December 1966 was concentrated on highlands in northern Arizona, southwestern Utah , southern Nevada, and south-central California and caused widely scattered major floods in the four States. In Arizona the largest amount of precipitation was in the north rim area of eastern Grand Canyon,...
Calcic soils and calcretes in the southwestern United States
George Odell Bachman, Michael N. Machette
1977, Open-File Report 77-794
Secondary calcium carbonate of diverse origins, 'caliche' of many authors, is widespread in the southwestern United States. 'Caliche' includes various carbonates such as calcic soils and products of groundwater cementation. The term 'caliche' is generally avoided in this report in favor of such terms as calcrete, calcic soils, and pervasively...

Density and porosity estimates from borehole gravity data in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells, Douglas County, Colorado
Keith A. Byerley, J. W. Schmoker
1977, Open-File Report 77-875
Borehole gravity surveys were carried out in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells using the U.S. Geological Survey-LaCoste and Romberg borehole gravity meter (McCulloh and others, 1967a; McCulloh and others, 1967b). The objectives were to estimate the density and porosity of the formations penetrated, and to determine...
Artificial recharge to a freshwater-sensitive brackish-water sand aquifer, Norfolk, Virginia
Donald L. Brown, William Dudley Silvey
1977, Professional Paper 939
Fresh water was injected into a brackish-water sand for storage and retrieval. The initial injection rate of 400 gpm decreased to 70 gpm during test 3. The specific capacity of the well decreased also, from 15.4 to 0.93 gpm. Current-meter surveys indicated uniform reduction in hydraulic conductivity of all contributing...
