Generalized altitude and configuration of the base of the High Plains regional aquifer, northwestern Oklahoma
John S. Havens
1981, Open-File Report 81-1117
During 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey began a 5-year study of the High Plains regional aquifer system to provide hydrologic information for evaluation of the effects of long-term development of the aquifer and to develop computer models for prediction of aquifer response to alternative changes in ground-water management (Weeks, 1978)....

Gordon L. Nelson
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-21
The 1.3-square-mile alluvial fan of Fourth of July Creek, Seward , Alaska, is being developed as an industrial area and port. Fourth of July Creek is a glacier-fed stream that occupies a braided channel near the middle of the fan. The presence of glacial flow during the summer and low...

G. Allan Brown
1981, Open-File Report 80-964
Prince William Forest Park is in the southern part of Prince William County, Va. Its natural beauty and nearness to Washington, D.C. have made it one of the most popular recreation areas in northern Virginia. To help the National Park Service plan the development of new facilities and effectively manage...
Potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer in the Northwest Florida Water Management District, May 1980
J.C. Rosenau, R.S. Milner
1981, Open-File Report 81-205
A May 1980 potentiometric surface map of the Northwest Florida Water Management District depicts water levels in wells tapping the Floridan aquifer prior to summer pumpage. Compared to earlier potentiometric maps of the area, there are no significant differences in the 1980 map that are the result of hydrologic conditions....
Effects of placer mining on hydrologic systems in Alaska; status of knowledge
R. J. Madison
1981, Open-File Report 81-217
The report briefly summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding placer mining in Alaska. A review of literature indicates that nearly all of the significant information on the effects of placer mining on the hydrologic system in Alaska is referenced in available reports. The addition of sediment, as well as...
Hydrologic data for the Cache Creek-Bear Thrust environmental impact statement near Jackson, Wyoming

1981, Open-File Report 81-410
Information on the quantity and quality of surface and ground water in an area of concern for the Cache Creek-Bear Thrust Environmental Impact Statement in northwestern Wyoming is presented without interpretation. The environmental impact statement is being prepared jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Forest Service and...

A series of artificial recharge experiments was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey at an experimental site located in Stanton, Texas. Five tests were performed from March 1977 through December 1978 to: (1) Evaluate the hydraulic properties of the aquifer; (2) test sampling and monitoring equipment; (3) compare tracers for...
Geological considerations in hazardous waste disposal
K. Cartwright, R. H. Gilkeson, T.M. Johnson
1981, Journal of Hydrology (54) 357-369
Present regulations assume that long-term isolation of hazardous wastes - including toxic chemical, biological, radioactive, flammable and explosive wastes - may be effected by disposal in landfills that have liners of very low hydraulic conductivity. In reality, total isolation of wastes in humid areas is not possible; some migration of...
Patterns of groundwater salinity changes in a deep continental-oceanic transect off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the U.S.A.
F.T. Manheim, C. K. Paull
1981, Journal of Hydrology (54) 95-105
Investigations of formation-fluid salinities in a transect from western Georgia to the edge of the Blake Plateau off the coast of Georgia show surprisingly similar hydrochemical features offshore and onshore. A fresh-brackish wedge of groundwater (<25 g/kg total dissolved solids) lies beneath the shelf to a depth of ∼ 900...
Role of numerical simulation in analysis of ground-water quality problems
Leonard F. Konikow
1981, Science of the Total Environment (21) 299-312
The increasing public awareness and concern about the hazards of toxic chemicals contaminating aquifers has created an increased need for predictive capabilities to analyze ground-water contamination problems. Several digital models to simulate the movement and concentration of ground-water contaminants have been documented recently. Most simulate the transport and dispersion of...
Subsurface injection of liquid waste in Florida, United States of America
John Vecchioli
1981, Science of Total Environment (21) 127-136
In 1979, liquid waste was injected into the subsurface of Florida by 10 injection systems at an aggregate average rate of 165,000 m3/d. All the systems inject into carbonate rocks that contain salty water. Extensive precautions are taken in the construction of the injection wells and in the monitoring of...
Reservoir analysis of the Denver earthquakes: A case of induced seismicity
Paul A. Hsieh, John D. Bredehoeft
1981, Journal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres (86) 903-920
Injection of fluid wastes into the fractured Precambrian crystalline bedrock beneath the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver triggered earthquakes in the 1960's. An analysis, based on the assumption that fluid flow in the fractured reservoir can be approximated by flow in a porous medium, is presented. The configuration and hydrologic...

Maps for America: cartographic products of the U.S. Geological Survey and others
Morris M. Thompson
1981, Report
"Maps for America" was originally published in 1979 as a Centennial Volume commemorating the Geological Survey's hundred years of service (1879-1979) in the earth sciences. It was an eminently fitting Centennial Year publication, for, since its establishment, the Geological Survey has continuously carried on an extensive program of mapping to...
