Robert M. Beall
1978, Water Supply Paper 2042
A map of the Ohio River basin above the Muskingum River shows patterns of mean annual runoff for the new climatologic and hydrologic reference period, 1941-70, and provides an up-to-date, consistent basis for consideration of this streamflow characteristic. The primary data base consisted of 98 long-term gaging-station records collected within...

A theoretical basis for exploration for native copper in northern Wisconsin
Walter S. White
1978, Circular 769
Exploration for native copper in the Keweenawan lavas of northern Wisconsin has been concentrated in areas of relatively shallow overburden that have sparse to numerous outcrops. Lack of success of this exploration suggests that if large deposits, comparable to those of northern Michigan, are present, they are more likely to...

Progress toward a ground-water-quality monitoring network for Idaho
R.L. Whitehead
1978, Open-File Report 78-786
A ground-water-quality monitoring network is being designed for Idaho. The primary objectives of the network are to (1) determine the present quality of the State's ground water, (2) provide continual monitoring of groundwater quality for water-management purposes, and (3) serve as a warning system of undesirable changes in ground-water quality. Data...
Description of data-collection system and synopsis of selected hydrologic data for Soldier Creek Basin, Kansas
William J. Carswell Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-678
Soldier Creek basin is a long, narrow basin encompassing an area of about 290 square miles almost directly north of Topeka, Kansas.

Effects of land use and water management on water quality in the western South New River Canal basin: southeast Florida, 1974-75
B.G. Waller
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-30
The South New River Canal (C-11) basin between water-control structures S-9 and S-13 is an area that is primarily undeveloped and the system of waterways within the basin is highly controlled for water-management purposes. Most of the recharge to the canals is by induced ground-water inflow and seepage. The chemical...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Great Lakes region
William G. Weist Jr.
1978, Professional Paper 813-J
The Great Lakes Regions, as a whole, has abundant supplies of water. Nearly 805,000 billion cubic feet of water is contained in the Great Lakes. An additional 35,000 billion cubic feet of potable ground water is available from storage in the region. Estimated ground-water discharge to the streams and lakes...
