Reconnaissance hydrology of Portage Glacier basin, Alaska
L.R. Mayo, Chester Zenone, Dennis Trabant
1977, Hydrologic Atlas 583
Early reports of conditions in Portage Pass, Alaska, provide evidence that Portage Glacier was formerly larger and thicker. Past conditions, recent history, current retreat, and possible future changes are summarized from an analysis of reports, photographs of the glacier (1939, 1950, and annually since about 1960), and data on snow...
Distribution of injected wastewater in the saline-lava aquifer, Wailuku-Kahului wastewater treatment facility, Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
W.L. Burnham, Steven P. Larson, Hilton H. Cooper
1977, Open-File Report 77-469
Field studies and digital modeling of a lava rock aquifer system near Kahului, Maui, Hawaii, were employed to define and describe the distribution of planned injected wastewater from a secondary treatment facility. The lava rock aquifer contains water that is almost as saline as seawater. The saline water is below...

Hydrologic considerations in dewatering and refilling Lake Carlton, Orange and Lake Counties, Florida
Warren Anderson, G.H. Hughes
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-131
Lake Carlton straddles the line between Lake and Orange Counties in central Florida. The 382-acre (155-hectare) lake is highly eutrophic and subject to virtually perpetual algal blooms. The Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission has proposed to restore the lake to a less eutrophic state by dewatering the lake...

Technique for estimating depth of 100-year floods in Tennessee
Charles R. Gamble, James G. Lewis
1977, Open-File Report 77-668
Preface: A method is presented for estimating the depth of the loo-year flood in four hydrologic areas in Tennessee. Depths at 151 gaging stations on streams that were not significantly affected by man made changes were related to basin characteristics by multiple regression techniques. Equations derived from the analysis can...
Hydrology of Lake Panasoffkee, Sumter County, Florida
G.F. Taylor
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-88
Lake Panasoffkee, in midwest Sumter County of central Florida, receives water from three creeks and discharges water through Outlet River at an average daily rate of 207 cubic feet per second. The eastern shore of the lake is marsh and wooded swamp with inflow to the lake coming from the...

Artificial recharge for subsidence abatement at the NASA-Johnson Space Center, Phase I
Sergio Garza
1977, Open-File Report 77-219
Regional decline of aquifer head due to ground-water withdrawal in the Houston area has caused extensive land-surface subsidence. The NASA-Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) in southeastern Harris County, Texas, was about 13 to 19 feet above mean sea level in 1974 and sinking at a rate of more than 0.2 foot...

1977, Open-File Report 77-161
The coastal environment in the vicinity of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska (Fig. 1) is presently being vigorously utilized by petroleum activities. In particular, barges moving freight onshore over the past 8 years, have used the Prudhoe Bay entrance channel almost exclusively. To further facilitate the offloading of supply barges, Atlantic Richfield...
