Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources–Texas-Gulf region
E. T. Baker Jr., J. R. Wall
1976, Professional Paper 813-F
Ground water in the Texas-Gulf Region is a large and important resource that can provide a more significant percentage of the total water supply of the region. Total water requirements within the region are projected to rise sharply from 14 million acre-feet (17 cubic kilometres) in 1970 to nearly 26...
Statistical analysis of water-level, springflow, and streamflow data for the Edwards Aquifer in south-central Texas
Celso Puente
1976, Open-File Report 76-393
Water-level, springflow, and streamflow data were used to develop simple and multiple linear-regression equations for use in estimating water levels in wells and the flow of three major springs in the Edwards aquifer in the eastern San Antonio area. The equations provide daily, monthly, and annual estimates that compare very...

Thomas C. Winter
1976, Open-File Report 76-81
The hydrologic settings of 150 randomly-selected lakes in the north-central United States were investigated by principal component analysis as a first attempt to develop a general classification of the hydrologic setting of lakes. Precipitation-evaporation balance and the water quality parameters have high factor loadings on the first principal component. Highest...

D.A. Webster
1976, Open-File Report 76-727
Solid waste contaminated by radioactive matter has been buried in the vicinity of Oak Ridge National Laboratory since 1944. By 1973, an estimated six million cubic feet of such material had been placed in six burial grounds in two valleys. The practice initially was thought of as a safe method...

The objectives of the observation-well program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate the future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for use in basic research. These selected records serve as a...

Ground-water hydrology of the Cocoa well-field area, Orange County, Florida
C. H. Tibbals, J.M. Frazee
1976, Open-File Report 75-676
The city of Cocoa, Brevard County, Florida, supplies water for much of central Brevard County including Cape Kennedy and Patrick Air Force Base. The water supply is obtained from a well field in east Orange County. Many of the easternmost wells in that well field yield salty water (chloride concentration...
Numerical simulation analysis of the interaction of lakes and ground water
Thomas C. Winter
1976, Professional Paper 1001
Because the interrelationship of lakes and ground water is perhaps the least understood aspect of lake hydrology, vertical-section, steadystate, numerical-model simulations were run to evaluate the factors that control the interaction of lakes and ground water. The study is concerned only with lakes encircled by water-table mounds that are at...
Water availability, quality, and use in Alaska
G. O. Balding
1976, Open-File Report 76-513
The Alaska Water Assessment, sponsored by the Water Resources Council, is a specific problem analysis for Alaska of the National Assessment of Water and Related Land Resources. The assessment addresses water and water-related land problems, present and future. It was felt that a supplementary report, as a part of the...
Mean annual runoff in the upper Ohio River basin, 1941-70, and its historic variation
Robert M. Beall
1976, Open-File Report 76-384
A map of the Ohio River basin above the Muskingum River shows patterns of mean annual runoff for the climatologic and hydrologic reference period, 1941-70. The primary data base consisted of 98 long-term gaging-station records collected within this 27,300-square-mile headwater area of the Ohio River basin. Supplemental information was derived...

Hydrologic evaluation of the Upper Duchesne River Valley, Northern Uinta Basin area, Utah
James W. Hood
1976, Open-File Report 76-771
The upper Duchesne River valley was studied during 1971-74 as part of an investigation of the northern Uinta Basin area, Utah and Colorado. The purpose of the study was to determine the relation of ground water to surface water, to estimate the quantity of ground water that moves to the...
