Hot, deep origin of petroleum: deep basin evidence and application
Leigh C. Price
1978, Open-File Report 78-1020
Use of the model of a hot deep origin of oil places rigid constraints on the migration and entrapment of crude oil. Specifically, oil originating from depth migrates vertically up faults and is emplaced in traps at shallower depths. Review of petroleum-producing basins worldwide shows oil occurrence in these basins...

Erosion, sediment discharge, and channel morphology in the Upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia
Robert E. Faye, W.R. Carey, J. K. Stamer, R.L. Kleckner
1978, Open-File Report 78-576
Average annual rates of sheet erosion and sediment discharge were computed for several watersheds in the Upper Chattahoochee River basin in Georgia. Erosion yields ranged from about 900 to 6,000 tons per year per square mile in nine watersheds and were greatest where land use is largely agricultural or transitional....
A computer program for borehole compensation of dual-detector density well logs
James Henry Scott
1978, Open-File Report 78-515
The computer program described in this report was developed for applying a borehole-rugosity and mudcake compensation algorithm to dual-density logs using the following information: the water level in the drill hole, hole diameter (from a caliper log if available, or the nominal drill diameter if not), and the two gamma-ray...
Water-quality investigation, Upper Santa Clara River Basin, California
James C. Bowers, G. A. Irwin
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-99
Water-quality data are summarized for the upper Santa Clara River basin, California from studies beginning August 1974 through June 1976 and during past monitoring programs. Data were collected for nitrogen, phosphorus, total organic carbon, trace elements, detergents, and pesticide compounds. Because of the limited number of samples, the data are...
The Tuscaloosa Aquifer system in Mississippi
E. H. Boswell
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-98
A three-sheet map report describes the Tuscaloosa aquifer system in Mississippi. The Tuscaloosa aquifer system, of Cretaceous age , is in the interconnected irregular sand and gravel beds in the Coker and Gordo Formations. The aquifer contains freshwater in an area of about 9,000 sq mi in northeastern Mississippi. Water...

Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey in Montana, October 1977 through September 1978
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1978, Open-File Report 78-436
The U.S. Geological Survey was established as an agency in the Department of the Interior on March 3, 1879, 30 years to the day after establishment of the Department itself. The initial purpose of the Survey was to prepare a plan that would secure the best possible results at the...
Water-quality data from a sludge disposal test site, St. Petersburg, Florida, November 1973-July 1977
Mario Fernandez
1978, Open-File Report 78-821
From November 1973 to July 1977, water samples were collected from wells to identify background water-quality conditions and to determine the effects on ground-water quality by St. Petersburg 's sludge-disposal operation (sod farm). Specific conductance and pH were determined in the field. Samples were collected for laboratory determination of selected...

Public water supplies of North Carolina: A summary of water sources, use, treatment, and capacity of water-supply systems
L.T. Mann Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-16
A study of the public water-supply systems in North Carolina with 500 or more customers provides information needed to aid the planning, development, and utilization of the public water supplies of the State. Water use, sources of water, water quality, water treatment and capacity of 224 public-water-supply systems were investigated...
Chemical composition of streams during low flow; Fairfax County, Virginia
J. D. Larson
1978, Open-File Report 78-719
Water samples were collected and stream discharges were measured at 49 sites in Fairfax County, Virginia during a period of low flow in August 1977. In addition, pesticide and metal content of residue on stream-bottom sediments from several major streams in the county were analysed. Waters from the streams in...
