Interpretation of electromagnetic extra-low-frequency soundings in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area
Walter L. Anderson
1978, Open-File Report 78-562
An electromagnetic (EM) controlled source survey was made during the period Nov. 30, 1977, to Dec. 13, 1977, in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA). This report summarizes the observed extra-low-frequency (ELF) data and least squares interpretation using a computer program developed by Anderson (1977). The results are...
Seismic model study of Patrick Draw field, Wyoming: a stratigraphic trap in the Upper Cretaceous Almond Formation
Robert C. Anderson, Robert T. Ryder
1978, Open-File Report 78-496
The Patrick Draw field, located on the eastern flank of the Rock Springs uplift in the Washakie basin of southwestern Wyoming, was discovered in 1959 without the use of geophysical methods. The field is a classic example of a stratigraphic trap, where Upper Cretaceous porous sandstone units pinch out on...
Computer modeling of ground-water availability in the Pootatuck River Valley, Newtown, Connecticut
F.P. Haeni, Elinor H. Handman
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-77
A hydrologic analysis of the stratified drift in Newtown, Conn., based on available data, test drilling, seismic refraction profiling, and the stream-aquifer connection was performed using a digital computer model. Simulated pumping indicates that a total of 4.0 million gallons of water per day (Mgal/d) can be withdrawn from the...

Appraisal of uncontrolled flowing artesian wells in Florida
Henry G. Healy
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-95
An estimated 15,000 uncontrolled flowing wells, many discharging water of poor quality are wastefully discharging about 790 million gallons per day by surface and internal flow. Internal flow in principal problem areas have been identified in Brevard, Charlotte, Clay, De Soto, Duval, Flagler, Glades, Hendry, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Martin, Nassau,...

Monthly fluctuations in the quality of ground water near the water table in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Long Island, New York
Brian G. Katz, Stephen E. Ragone, Juli B. Lindner-Lunsford
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-41
Water samples from wells in a sewered and an unsewered suburban area and an unsewered rural area on Long Island, N.Y. were collected and analyzed monthly from August 1975 to July 1976 to determine the concentrations of chloride, sulfate, and nitrate in ground water near the water table. Short-term and...
Hydrologic data for Soldier Creek Basin, Kansas
William J. Carswell Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-87
Selected hydrologic data collected in the Soldier Creek basin in Kansas are available on magnetic tape in card-image format. Data on the tape include water discharge in fifteen-minute and daily time intervals; rainfall in fifteen-minute and daily time intervals; concentrations and particle sizes of suspended sediment; particle sizes of bed...

Nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon, and biochemical oxygen demand: in Florida surface waters, 1972
Matthew I. Kaufman, J.E. Dysart
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-43
Water samples were collected during spring and autumn 1972 from about 100 surface-water sites in Florida. The samples were analyzed for the plant nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus. In most waters, nitrogen concentrations are less than 2.0 milligrams per liter as nitrogen, and organic nitrogen is dominant. Median total nitrogen concentration...
Availability and quality of water from shallow aquifers in Duval County, Florida
Lawson V. Causey, G. G. Phelps
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-92
The shallow-aquifer system in Duval County, Fla., overlies the Florida aquifer and is composed chiefly of sand, clay, sandy clay, and limestone. Thickness of the system ranges from about 300 to 600 feet. The upper 150 feet of deposits, consisting of the water-table and shallow-rock zones, are the most dependable...
Quality and movement of ground water in Otter Creek - Dry Creek basin, Cortland County, New York
William Buller, Wallace J. Nichols, J. F. Harsh
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-3
A steady increase in the chloride and nitrate content of water in a sand and gravel aquifer of glacial origin in the Cortland, N.Y., area prompted a study to obtain data on the extent and source of these constituents. Chloride concentration in the upper part of the aquifer increased generally...
Geohydrology of the northern Louisiana salt-dome basin pertinent to the storage of radioactive wastes; a progress report
R. L. Hosman
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-104
Salt domes in northern Louisiana are being considered as possible storage sites for nuclear wastes. The domes are in an area that received regional sedimentation through early Tertiary (Eocene) time with lesser amounts of Quaternary deposits. The Cretaceous-Tertiary accumulation is a few thousand feet thick; the major sands are regional...
