Joseph William Stewart, Carole L. Goetz, L. R. Mills
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-4
Ground water occurs in two aquifers in the Temple Terrace area of Hillsborough County, Fla. The lower one is the artesian Floridan aquifer; the upper is the water-table aquifer. The Floridan aquifer is a thick sequence of limestone and dolomite layers which include several permeable zones that generally are treated...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Souris-Red-Rainy region
Harold O. Reeder
1978, Professional Paper 813-K
A broad-perspective analysis of the ground-water resources and present and possible future water development and management in the Souris-Red-Rainy Region is presented. The region includes the basins of the Souris River within Montana and North Dakota; the Red River of the North in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota; and...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Tennessee region
Ann Zurawski
1978, Professional Paper 813-L
Ground water is an abundant and little-used resource in the Tennessee Region, a 41,000 square mile area dominated by the Tennessee River system and including parts of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. One-fifth to one-fourth of the precipitation that falls on the region enters the ground-water...
Summary appraisals of the Nation's ground-water resources; Alaska
Chester Zenone, Gary S. Anderson
1978, Professional Paper 813-P
Alaska has enormous surface-water resources, but many of the streams are frozen for most of the year and most contain glacial silt that makes them unacceptable for human use. These factors lend special significance to ground water as a water-supply source, even though perennially frozen ground (permafrost) profoundly modifies ground-water...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Missouri basin region
O. James Taylor
1978, Professional Paper 813-Q
The Missouri Basin Region lies in the north-central part of the United States and southern Canada. It includes parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada; parts of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri, and all of Nebraska in the United States. The region includes...

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...
Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in St. Louis County, Missouri

Hydrologic evaluation of part of central Volusia County, Florida
P. W. Bush
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-89
Municipal wells close to the Atlantic Coast cannot be expected to supply the steadily increasing population of Volusia County, Florida, indefinitely without causing saltwater intrusion problems. Therefore, new wells will be drilled away from the coast. The source of water for the planned artesian aquifer well field will be leakage...
