Geochemical exploration for uranium in playas
D. L. Leach, K.P. Puchlik, R.K. Glanzman
1980, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (13) 251-283
Playas and closed-basin lakes represent unique geochemical environments for the entrapment and concentration of mobile chemical elements. For this reason, playas may be considered as potentially favorable areas for the accumulation of uranium. We investigated playa sediments to determine their value as possible sample media for determining the presence...
Remote sensing of snow and ice
M. F. Meier
1980, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (25) 307-330
Monitoring of snow and ice on the Earth's surface will require increasing use of satellite remote sensing techniques. These techniques are evolving rapidly. Active and passive sensors operating in the visible, near infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave wavelengths are described in regard to general applications and in regard to specific...
Heat flow and energetics of the San Andreas fault zone
A.H. Lachenbruch, J.H. Sass
1980, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (85) 6185-6223
Approximately 100 heat flow measurements in the San Andreas fault zone indicate (1) there is no evidence for local factional heating of the main fault trace at any latitude over a 1000-km length from Cape Mendocino to San Bernardino, (2) average heat flow is high (∼2 HFU, ∼80 mW m−2)...
Maps showing hydrologic conditions in the San Francisco River area, Greenlee County, Arizona, 1978: A reconnaissance study
Larry J. Mann
1980, Open-File Report 80-441
The San Francisco River area includes about 950 square miles in Greenlee County in east-central Arizona. Water-resources development has been slight compared with that in many areas in Arizona. In 1978 about 500 acre-feet of water was diverted for irrigation from the San Francisco and Blue Rivers, and about 550...

A digital model for simulation of ground-water hydrology in the Houston area, Texas
Walter R. Meyer, Jerry E. Carr
1979, Limited Printing Report 103
This report documents the construction and calibration of a digital model for the simulation of hydrologic conditions in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area of southeastern Texas. The model is a five-layer finite-difference model, with a grid pattern of 63 x 67 nodes representing an area of...
Better utilization of ground water in the Piedmont and mountain region of the southeast
Ralph C. Heath
1979, Conference Paper, Water conservation and alternative water supplies: proceedings of a southeast regional conference
The development of water supplies for domestic consumption, and for those commercial and industrial uses requiring relatively pure water, has followed a pattern in the Piedmont and mountain areas of the southeast similar to that in most other humid areas. The first settlers utilized seepage springs on hillsides. Such springs...
United States Geological Survey Yearbook, fiscal year 1978
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1979, Report
Fiscal year 1978 saw the U.S. Geological Survey continuing to perform its basic historical missions of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information about the Earth, its processes, and its water and mineral resources. Classifying Federal lands and supervising lessee mineral extraction operations on those lands were also major Survey concerns during...

River mileages and drainage areas for Illinois streams—Volume 2, Illinois River basin
R. W. Healy
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-111
River mileages are presented for points of interest on Illinois streams draining 10 square miles or more. Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any stream draining at least...
Forest and flooding with special reference to the White River and Ouachita River basins, Arkansas
M. S. Bedinger
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-68
The observed response of trees to hydrologic stress and distribution of trees in relation to habitat indicate that flooding, ground-water level, soil moisture, soil factors, and drainage characteristics exert a strong influence on bottomland forest species distribution. The dominant hydrologic factor influencing the distribution of bottomland tree species is flooding....

Environmental features, general hydrology, and external sources of nutrients affecting Wilderness Lake, King County, Washington
N. P. Dion
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-63
A water budget prepared for Wilderness Lake, a candidate for lake-quality restoration, indicates that of the 530 acre-feet of water that enters the lake each year, 170 acre-feet is from precipitation and 360 acre-feet is from groundwater inflow. An equal amount leaves the lake, and of this, 380 acre-feet is...

Ground-water conditions and potential for artificial recharge in Lucerne Valley, San Bernardino County, California
Donald H. Schaefer
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-118
The water level in two areas of Lucerne Valley has declined more than 100 feet since 1917, including 60 feet from 1954 to 1976. These declines are the result of pumping for the irrigation of alfalfa. The lowering of water levels has caused many shallow domestic wells to go dry....
Estimated drawdowns in the Floridan aquifer due to increased withdrawals, Duval County, Florida
Bernard J. Franks, G. G. Phelps
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-84
Hydrologic investigations of the Floridan aquifer in Duval County, Florida, have shown that an appropriate simplified model of the aquifer system consists of a series of sub aquifers separated by semipermeable beds. Data from more than 20 aquifer tests were reanalyzed by the Hantush modified method, which takes into account...
