1981, Open-File Report 81-527
A hydrologic reconnaissance study was made in five basins in southern California previously classified as suitable for providing sufficient ground water for cooling a 1,000-megawatt electric-power generating plant. The criteria used to evaluate the basins were (1) theoretical aquifer response to pumping, (2) alternative sources of water, and (3) chemical...

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...
Selected drill-stem-test data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana

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...

1981, Open-File Report 81-493
In 1971, four wells were drilled just outside a radioactive solid waste storage and disposal facility located on the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in southeastern Idaho. This facility, the Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC), has been in use since 1952. These wells serve several purposes: to study the geology and...
Hydrologic data for the alluvium and terrace aquifer of the Beaver-North Canadian River from the Panhandle to Canton Reservoir, northwestern Oklahoma
Robert E. Davis, Scott C. Christenson, Stephen P. Blumer
1981, Open-File Report 80-159
The U.S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's groundwater resources since 1934. The data in this report were collected as part of a study in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to evaluate the geohydrology of the alluvium and terrace aquifer of the Beaver-North Canadian River 4] in...
Potentially favorable areas for large-yield wells in the Red River Formation and Madison Limestone in parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska
L.M. MacCary, E. M. Cushing, David L. Brown
1981, Open-File Report 81-220
The need for large quantities of energy has created interest in the Fort Union coal region of the Northern Great Plains. Extensive development of this coal, which may include onsite steam-power generation, gasification, liquefaction, and slurry-pipeline transport of the coal from this region, would place a heavy demand on the...
Geology and hydrology for environmental planning in Marquette County, Michigan
F. R. Twenter
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-90
Marquette County, in the glaciated area of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, includes 1,878 square miles. Precipitation averages 32 inches per year. Bedrock and glacial deposits contain materials that are good aquifers. Sedimentary bedrock units generally yield sufficient water for domestic supply and, in places, may yield more than 100...
Drainage areas of selected surface-water sites in Florida
Donald W. Foose
1981, Open-File Report 81-482
Drainage areas for about 1,600 surface-water sites on streams and lakes in Florida are contained in this report. The sites are generally either U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations or the mouths of gaged streams. Each site is identified by latitude and longitude, by the general stream type, and by the...
Results of exploratory drilling at Point MacKenzie, Alaska, 1981
Leslie Patrick
1981, Open-File Report 81-1072
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough anticipates industrial development near Point MacKenzie, Alaska. Because little hydrologic information is available for the area, the Borough contracted for the drilling of two test wells. It was found that: Both wells penetrated unconsolidated stratified clay, silt, sand, and gravel; each well penetrated a shallow unconfined and...
