Digital model of the Bates Creek alluvial aquifer near Casper, Wyoming
K. C. Glover
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4068
A digital model was used to simulate ground-water flow within the Bates Creek alluvial aquifer, southwest of Casper, Wyoming. Hydrologic data collected during 1977 and 1978 were used to develop the flow model under steady-state and transient conditions. Three scenarios for operating the stream-aquifer system were evaluated with the digital...

Water use in Wisconsin, 1979
C.L. Lawrence, B.R. Ellefson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-444
This report summarizes the uses of water in Wisconsin for 1979, except aesthetics, navigation, and recreational use. The greatest single use of water, an instream use, was for hydroelectric power production. About 26 trillion gallons, or 93 percent, was used for this purpose. Of the other 7 percent where water is...

Environmental geology of Harrison Bay, northern Alaska
J.D. Craig, G. P. Thrasher
1982, Open-File Report 82-35
The surficial and shallow subsurface geology of Harrison Bay on the Beaufort Sea coast was mapped as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's prelease evaluation for Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Lease Sale 71. During the 1980 summer season, approximately 1600 km of multisensored, high-resolution geophysical profile data...
Storage and retrieval of ground-water data at the U.S. Geological Survey
Maria W. Mercer, Charles O. Morgan
1982, Circular 856
The U.S. Geological Survey maintains a computerized Ground-Water Site-Inventory (GWSI) file that contains information about wells and springs at sites from all States of the United States. This file contains data collected by U.S. Geological Survey personnel and personnel of cooperating State, local and Federal agencies. The file is easily...
Physiographic divisions and differential uplift in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge
John Tilton Hack
1982, Professional Paper 1265
The Piedmont and Blue Ridge are dynamic landscapes that have undergone substantial change since the orogenies that ended in late Paleozoic or, as some believe, early Mesozoic time. The southern Blue Ridge region south of Roanoke, Va., lies on the crest of a topographic uplift that corresponds to the eastern...

The September 1, 1981, Samoa Islands Region earthquake occurred at the extreme northern end of the Tonga arc in a region where the Pacific plate may be disjointed along a hinge fault. In the last 50 years, magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes have occurred in this region on the average...
Streamflow losses to Madison Group rocks in the Little Belt and Big Snowy Mountains, Montana
R.D. Feltis, Ronald R. Shields
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-49
Four streams originating in the Little Belt and Big Snowy Mountains in central Montana were measured in 1975 to determine streamflow losses across outcrops of the Madison Group (Mississippian age). Based on streamflow data obtained for 39 months at two streamflow-gaging stations on the Middle Fork Judith River, the average...
