K.P. Kulp
1982, Open-File Report 82-260
Water, bed material, and biological samples were collected and analyzed at 10 surface-water gaging sites on six streams in the town of Wilton, Connecticut over a 2-year period. The data indicate fair to excellent water quality. Fecal coliform bacteria, pH, alkalinity, iron, and manganese are the parameters that most often...

Radioactivity and geochemistry of selected mineral-spring waters in the Western United States; basic data and multivariate statistical analysis
J.K. Felmlee, R. A. Cadigan
1982, Open-File Report 82-324
Multivariate statistical analyses were performed on data from 156 mineral-spring sites in nine Western States to analyze relationships among the various parameters measured in the spring waters. Correlation analysis and R-mode factor analysis indicate that three major factors affect water composition in the spring systems studied: (1) duration of water...

Acoustic systems for the measurement of streamflow
Antonius Laenen, Winchell Smith
1982, Open-File Report 82-329
Very little information is available concerning acoustic velocity meter (AVM) operation, performance, and limitations. This report provides a better understanding about the application of AVM instrumentation to streamflow measurment. Operational U.S. Geological Survey systems have proven that AVM equipment is accurate and dependable. AVM equipment has no practical upper limit...
Geohydrologic data from sandstone aquifers in southwestern Kansas
Jack Kume, Joseph M. Spinazola
1982, Open-File Report 82-868
Data collected during a reconnaissance investigation of the geology and hydrology of sandstone aquifers provide useful information in the study of, and planning for, water-resources development in a 17,400 square-mile area in 26 counties of southwestern Kansas. The aquifers consist chiefly of saturated sandstones that occur in Upper Permian, Upper...
Hydrology of the Arbuckle Mountain area, south-central Oklahoma

1982, Open-File Report 82-775
Rocks that make up the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer crop out over about 500 square miles in the Arbuckle Mountains province in south-central Oklahoma. The aquifer consists of limestone, dolomite, and sandstone of the Arbuckle and Simpson Groups of Late Cambrian to Middle Ordovician age and is about 5,000 to 9,000 feet...
Water resources data, Florida, water year 1981; Volume 2A. South Florida surface water
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1982, Water Data Report FL-81-2A
Water resources data for the 1981 water year for south Florida consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; elevation and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; water-levels and water quality of wells; and discharge and water quality of springs. Additional water data were collected at various...

Chemical and physical characteristics of water in estuaries of Texas, October 1976-September 1978
J.C. Fisher
1982, Open-File Report 82-354
The Texas Water Plan (1968) proposes development and utilization of water resources in Texas and includes provision for the use and preservation of water in the estuaries of the State. Management of estuarine waters requires knowledge of the hydrodynamics and of the continuing changes in the chemical and physical characteristics...

Hydrologic data from Naval Oil Shale Reserves, Parachute Creek basin, northwestern Colorado, 1975-79
Ralph O. Patt, D. Briane Adams, Dannie L. Collins
1982, Open-File Report 82-696
This report summarizes data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey for the U.S. Department of Energy, Naval Petroleum, and Oil Shale Reserves in the Parachute Creek drainage basin of western Colorado. It includes data from five surface-water gages, two automatic sediment samplers and two water-quality monitors. Instantaneous streamflow measurements were...
Geohydrology of the valley-fill aquifer in the Corning area, Steuben County, New York
Todd S. Miller, J. L. Belli, R. V. Allen
1982, Open-File Report 82-85
This report is the seventh in a series of 11 map sets depicting geohydrologic conditions in selected aquifers in upstate New York. Geohydrologic data are compiled on six maps at 1:24,000 scale. Together, the maps provide a comprehensive overview of a major valley-fill aquifer in southeastern Steuben County. The maps...

A geologic evaluation of proposed lava diversion barriers for the NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory, Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii
H. J. Moore
1982, Open-File Report 82-314
Lava flow diversion barriers should protect the Mauna Loa Observatory from flows of reasonable magnitude if properly constructed. The a'a flow upon which the observatory is constructed represents a flow of reasonable magnitude. Proper construction of the barriers includes obtaining riprap from a zone exterior to the proposed V-shaped barrier...
Analysis of three tests of the unconfined aquifer in southern Nassau County, Long Island, New York
J.B. Lindner, T. E. Reilly
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4021
Drawdown and recovery data from three 2-day aquifer tests (OF) the unconfined (water-table) aquifer in southern Nassau County, N.Y., during the fall of 1979, were analyzed. Several simple analytical solutions, a typecurve-matching procedure, and a Galerkin finite-element radial-flow model were used to determine hydraulic conductivity, ratio of horizontal to vertical...

Geohydrology of principal aquifers in the Republican River basin, Kansas
L. E. Dunlap
1982, Open-File Report 82-79
Principal aquifers in the Republican River basin in Kansas are unconsolidated alluvial deposits. One such aquifer is formed by the Ogallala Formation of Miocene age which covers most of the western part of the area. Because saturated thickness of the aquifer decrease northeastward, maximum yields to irrigation wells decrease in...
