Results of hydrologic tests and water-chemistry analyses, Wells H-6A, H-6B, and H-6C, at the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site, southeastern New Mexico
Kevin F. Dennehy
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-8
Hydrologic testing was conducted at wells H-6A, H-6B, and H-6C in the northwestern part of the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in southeastern New Mexico to define hydraulic properties of three water-bearing zones. The zones tested were the Magenta and Culebra Dolomite Members of the Rustler Formation and the...

Hydrology of coal-resource areas in the southern Wasatch Plateau, central Utah
T. W. Danielson, D.A. Sylla
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4009
The study defines the surface and groundwater hydrology of coal-resources areas in the Southern Wasatch Plateau in Central Utah and, where possible, predicts the hydrologic impacts of underground mining. Discharge data at four streamflow gaging stations indicated that from 5 to 29% of the average annual precipitation on a drainage...
COASTAL*FISH user's guide--a finfish/shellfish information base for Mississippi Sound and Mobile Bay
B. Jones, N. Benson
1982, FWS/OBS 82/12
COASTAL *FISH is a computerized database that includes current information on spawning, nursery areas, migrations, distribution, and environmental requirements of finfish and shellfish. This User's Guide was prepared to access and query the finfish and shell fish database. It provides basic information required to query the database....
Appraisal of ground-water quality near wastewater-treatment facilities, Glacier National Park, Montana
Joe A. Moreland, Wayne A. Wood
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4
Water-level and water-quality data were collected from monitoring wells at wastewater-treatment facilities in Glacier National Park. Five additional shallow observation wells were installed at the Glacier Park Headquarters facility to monitor water quality in the shallow ground-water system.Water-level, water-quality, and geologic information indicate that some of the initial monitoring wells...
Water-quality assessment of Steiner Branch basin, Lafayette County, Wisconsin
Stephen J. Field, R.A. Lidwin
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-52
Steiner Branch basin in southwestern Wisconsin has rugged mature topography. Corn is planted in 30 percent of the basin on slopes ranging from 0 to 20 percent. Although contour stripcropping is a recommended practice for these easily eroded soil slopes, few conservation practices are followed to reduce soil losses. Because...

Assessment of hydrologic conditions in potential coal-lease tracts in the Warrior coal field, Alabama
Celso Puente, John F. Newton, Roy H. Bingham
1982, Open-File Report 81-540
Assessing the hydrology of potential Federal coal-lease tracts, because of their dissemination and limited data, requires some predictive capability. Four tracts assessed were located in the outcrop of three coal groups and of other relatively impermeable rocks in the Pottsville Formation. Physical settings of the tracts and most other areas...
Measurement of time of travel and dispersion in streams by dye tracing
E. F. Hubbard, F. A. Kilpatrick, L.A. Martens, J. F. Wilson Jr.
1982, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A9
The use of fluorescent dyes and tracing techniques provides a means for measuring the time-of-travel and dispersion characteristics of steady and gradually varied flow in streams. Measurements of the dispersion and concentration of dyes give insight into the behavior of soluble contaminants that may be introduced into a stream. This manual describes methods of measuring time...
New papers related to remote sensing of the earth
A. P. Colvocoresses, F.J. Doyle
1982, Open-File Report 82-237
Worldwide experience of many individuals and organizations with remote sensing data acquired from space, primarily Landsat-1, -2, and -3, has demonstrated its utility for land use classification, agricultural assessment, energy and resource exploration, and many other applications. There has been some reluctance to adopt these systems in operational programmes because...

Origins and distribution of saline ground waters in the Floridan Aquifer in coastal southwest Florida
W.C. Steinkampf
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4052
Twenty-three ground-water samples from the Floridan aquifer in coastal southwest Florida show that water quality deteriorates to the south and west. The waters grade from a fresh calcium magnesium bicarbonate sulfate type to a very saline sodium magnesium chloride type downgradient. Bromide-chloride and specific conductance ratios indicate that dilution of...
Progress report to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department, year ending September 30, 1981

1982, Open-File Report 82-491
Samples collected from the contact metamorphic zone of the Notch Peak intrusive area, House Range, Millard County, Utah, indicate the occurrence of low-grade uranium and thorium ore. Maximum abundances in the altered mineralized rocks in the contact zone are 450 ppm uranium and 480 ppm thorium. Interpretation of factor analysis...

1982, Open-File Report 81-1021
The study area is a remnant of a glacial-drift plain nearly surrounded by marine embayments. A water-resources appraisal was made because the area is experiencing rapid population growth. Additional ground water is available for use in the study area. At least 11 cubic feet per second, five times the 1978...
