Mineralogy and autoradiography of selected mineral-spring precipitates in the Western United States
Dana Bove, J.K. Felmlee
1982, Open-File Report 82-792
X-ray diffaction analysis of 236 precipitate or sediment samples from 97 mineral-spring sites in nine Western States showed the presence of 25 minerals, some precipitated and some detrital. Calcite and (or) aragonite are the most common of all the precipitated minerals. Gypsum and (or) anhydrite, as well as barite and...

Hydrologic data-verification management program plan
C.W. Alexander
1982, Open-File Report 82-374
Data verification refers to the performance of quality control on hydrologic data that have been retrieved from the field and are being prepared for dissemination to water-data users. Water-data users now have access to computerized data files containing unpublished, unverified hydrologic data. Therefore, it is necessary to develop techniques and...
Irrigation-water quality in the Sulphur Creek basin, Yakima and Benton counties, Washington, April 1976 through March 1977
P. R. Boucher, M. O. Fretwell
1982, Open-File Report 81-1008
A water-quality-sampling network was designed for the Sulphur Creek basin to observe the effects of farming practices on irrigation. Sediment and nutrient yield, discharge, and water temperature data were collected during the 1976 irrigation season and the following fall and winter. The suspended-sediment yield of the basin during this period...
The relative importance of ground-water and surface-water supplies to oil-shale development, Piceance Basin, Colorado
W.M. Alley
1982, Open-File Report 82-340
A sensitivity analysis was perfomed of the required active storage capacity (VMAX) of a hypothetical reservoir on the White River to different assumptions about water demands for oil-shale development and the contributions from various sources of water. Estimates of VMAX were found to be sensitive to estimates of the supply...
Temperatures and interval geothermal-gradient determinations from wells in National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
D.C. Blanchard, I.L. Tailleur
1982, Open-File Report 82-391
Temperature and related records from 28 wells in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) although somewhat constrained from accuracy by data gathering methods, extrapolate to undisturbed formation temperatures at specific depths below permafrost, and lead to calculated geothermal gradients between these depths. Tabulation of the results show that extrapolated...

Floodflow characteristics of Honcut Creek at State Highway 70 bridges near Live Oak, California
J. C. Blodgett
1982, Open-File Report 81-1010
State Highway 70 crosses Honcut Creek near Live Oak about 3 miles upstream from its confluence with the Feather River by a series of three bridges separated by short approach embankments. The California Department of Transportation is planning to replace or widen the three bridges. This report evaluates flow characteristics...

R.R. White
1982, Open-File Report 82-267
This is the third in a series of annual reports in which the program of the New Mexico District, U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, is summarized. This report, which is for fiscal year 1980, may be of use to cooperating agencies and to the users of water data in...
Water quality of the tidal Potomac River and Estuary; hydrologic data report, 1981 water year, with a section on collection and analysis of chlorophyll-a
Stephen F. Blanchard, Richard H. Coupe, Joan C. Woodward
1982, Open-File Report 82-575
This report contains data on the physical and chemical properties measured in the Tidal Potomac River and Estuary during the 1981 water year. Data were collected at least weekly at five stations, and periodically at 15 stations and at two other stations near the mouth of the Potomac River in...
