Land subsidence caused by dissolution of salt near four oil and gas wells in central Kansas
Stuart Wesley Fader
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-27
Collapse of the overlying strata into voids caused by dissolution of salt is the apparent cause of progressive land subsidence at the sites of several oil wells that were drilled through the salt beds of the Wellington Formation in Kansas. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if data...
Floods in east Baton Rouge Parish and adjacent areas, Louisiana, for the period 1953-74
Alfred S. Lowe
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-44
Flood damage resulting from development in flood plains in East Baton Rouge Parish, La., and adjacent areas has caused economic losses, making governmental officials and planners aware of the need for flood maps. Based on information in private and official files, flood maps have been prepared for 7 1/2-minute topographic...
Land-surface subsidence at Seabrook, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch, C.W. Bonnet
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-31
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris and Galveston Counties, Texas, has caused a decline in fluid pressures, which is turn had resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence of the land surface at Seabrook is due principally to the removal of water. Significnt subsidence...

Dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate of surface-water runoff in the Suwannee River Water Management District, Florida
J.E. Earle
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-15
This atlas consists of three maps that show the general distribution of dissolved solids, hardness, and orthophosphate in the streams and lakes within the Suwannee River Water Management District. The atlas was prepared in cooperation with the Water Management District to provide pertinent water-quality information relating to the objectives of...
Estimate of sediment discharges, Santa Ana River at Santa Ana and Santa Maria River at Guadalupe, California
Carl G. Kroll
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-40
The computed sediment discharge of Santa Ana River at Santa Ana for the water years 1968-71 was 11,700,000 tons (10,600,000 tonnes) of suspended sediment and 5,000,000 tons (4,500,000 tonnes) of coarse sediment. The computed discharge of Santa Maria River at Guadalupe for the water years 1969-71 was 9,500,000 tons (8,600,000...

Perspective on use of fresh water for cooling systems of thermoelectric powerplants in Florida
G.H. Hughes
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-43
Cooling ponds, evaporative cooling towers, and once-through cooling systems of thermoelectric powerplants consume appreciable quantities of water. In Florida a cooling pond for a 1,000 megawatt nuclear power-plant operating at full load in sulluner consumes about 12.5 million gallons of water per day (0.55 cubic metres per second). A cooling...
Digital models of a glacial outwash aquifer in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area, west-central Minnesota
S. P. Larson, Mark S. McBride, R. J. Wolf
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-40
-p^e need for study of lake-ground-water interchange has been accentuated by eutrophication of lakes in the Pearl-Sallie Lakes area of west-central Minnesota. The local ground-water flow system is dominated by an outwash aquifer that is sandwiched between two till layers in the western part of the area and exposed at...
Problems related to water quality and algal control in Lopez Reservoir, San Luis Obispo County, California
Richard H. Fuller, Robert C. Averett, Walter G. Hines
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-47
Lopez Reservoir is a multipurpose impoundment that was filled during a 30-week period following a series of intense storms during the winter 1968-69. The reservoir is used for flood control, water supply, and recreation, including swimming, fishing, and boating. At full pool Lopez Reservoir has a surface area of 974...
Hydrology of the Albemarle-Pamlico region, North Carolina : A preliminary report on the impact of agricultural developments
Ralph C. Heath
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-9
Extensive agricultural land clearing and drainage operations underway in a 650 square mile part of the Albemarle-Pamlico region--a 1,634 square mile peninsula in North Carolina lying between Albemarle Sound on the North and the Pamlico River on the south--are changing the hydrology of the area. The artificial drainage system being constructed...

Simulated drawdown for selected well fields in the Ohio River alluvial aquifer
Hayes F. Grubb
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-2
Drawdown due to pumping was simulated for three sites in the alluvial aquifer adjacent to the Ohio River by digital modeling techniques. Two well-field arrangements were used at each site. The initial well-field arrangement at each site consisted of three wells located in a line parallel to the Ohio River....
