A 10-year plan to study the aquifer system of Indian Wells Valley, California
Paul Lipinski, Darwin D. Knochenmus
1981, Open-File Report 81-404
Water needs of the population of Indian Wells Valley, Calif., must be met through further development of ground-water resources. Studies show that annual ground-water pumpage there has increased since 1945 and has exceeded mean annual recharge since 1966. Continued and increased stress on the aquifer system of the valley is...

1981, Open-File Report 81-138
Surface-water quantity and quality were observed at 12 gaging stations downstream from mined and lease areas in the Wasatch Plateau, Book Cliff's, and Emery coal fields in central Utah. Measurements of base flow were made at 52 additional sites in the region. The report describes the hydrologic setting of this...

1981, Open-File Report 81-1291
Detailed examination of planktonic Foraminifera from the type section of the Miocene Kingshill Limestone and from 14 other Miocene and lower Pliocene limestone exposures in the Kingshill Seaway of St. Croix ((at 17°44' N., long 64° 46' W.; fig. 1) has led to the first publication of an in-depth biostratigraphic...
Stratigraphy and structure of the Strawberry Mine roof pendant, central Sierra Nevada, California
W. J. Nokleberg
1981, Professional Paper 1154
The Strawberry mine roof pendant, 90 km northeast of Fresno, Calif., is composed of a sequence of metasedimentary rocks of probable Early Jurassic age and a sequence of metaigneous rocks of middle Cretaceous age. The metasedimentary rocks are a former miogeosynclinal sequence of marl and limestone now metamorphosed to calc-silicate...
Selected hydrogeologic data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
1981, Open-File Report 81-534
Selected hydrologic data have been used in a 4-year study of aquifers of Cenozoic and Mesozoic age in the northern Great Plains to define the hydrologic system and to generate hydrologic maps. Records of 6,754 wells and 188 springs are tabulated in the report. The well data include site location,...
Selected drill-stem-test data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
1981, Open-File Report 81-326
Selected drill-stem-test data were collected for use in the hydrologic analysis of aquifers in the northern Great Plains area of Montana. To supplement existing data defining the potentiometric surface of various aquifers, shut-in pressures recorded during drill-stem tests of oil and gas test wells were used to calculate the altitude...
Petrogenetic modeling of a potential uranium source rock, Granite Mountains, Wyoming
J. S. Stuckless, A.T. Miesch
1981, Professional Paper 1225
Previous studies of the granite of Lankin Dome have led to the conclusion that this granite was a source for the sandstone-type uranium deposits in the basins that surround the Granite Mountains, Wyo. Q-mode factor analysis of 29 samples of this granite shows that five bulk compositions are required to...

Evapotranspiration from rapidly growing young saltcedar in the Gila River Valley of Arizona
O.E. Leppanen
1981, Open-File Report 81-485
Estimates of evapotranspiration by young saltcedar, based on energy budget measurements, were made for an unfilled portion of the San Carlos Reservoir in east-central Arizona. Foty-eight days of record were obtained before the site was inundated. The young saltcedar, which had grown from seed earlier in the season , had...

Magnitude and chemical quality of base flow of Otter Creek, Tongue River, and Rosebud Creek, southeastern Montana, October 26-November 5, 1977
Roger W. Lee, Steven E. Slagle, James R. Stimson
1981, Open-File Report 80-1298
Hydrologic and chemical data were collected during base-flow conditions on three streams in southeastern Montana from October 26 to November 5, 1977, to characterize groundwater discharge. Maximum measured flow of Otter Creek, an interrupted stream, was 1.2 cubic feet per second. The water chemistry was dominated by sodium, magnesium, and...
