Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Hawaii region
K. J. Takasaki
1978, Professional Paper 813-M
The water resources of the Hawaii Region, taken as a whole, are far greater than foreseeable future demands on them, but this is not so for the individual islands. Each and every island is independent with respect to water supply, and the occurrence and availability of water vary widely from...
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...
Analysis of urban storm-water quality for seven basins near Portland, Oregon
Timothy L. Miller, Stuart W. McKenzie
1978, Open-File Report 78-662
Over a 1.5-year period, water-quality data were collected for seven small drainage basins in urban aeas of Portland, Oreg. Analysis of the data followed three approaches. First, the constituent concentrations were analyzed. Average concentrations of suspended sediment, settleable solids, and fecal coliform bacteria generally exceeded levels expected for secondary waste-treatment...
Surface water records of Cook Inlet basin, Alaska, through September 1975
David R. Scully, Larry S. Leveen, Raymond S. George
1978, Open-File Report 78-498
This report summarizes records of streamflow and water temperature collected prior to October 1, 1975, in the Cook Inlet Basin of south-central Alaska. Streamflow records for gaging stations are tabulated as monthly and annual summaries and annual extremes. For those gaging stations at which continuous or daily water temperature records...
Historic ground failures in Northern California triggered by earthquakes
T. Leslie Youd, Seena N. Hoose
1978, Professional Paper 993
A major source of earthquake-related damage and casualties in northern California has been ground failures generated by the seismic shaking, including landslides, lateral spreads, ground settlement, and surface cracks. The historical record shows that, except for offshore shocks, the geographic area affected and the quantity and general severity of ground...
A table of photopeaks useful in nuclear geophysics
Allan B. Tanner, Frank E. Senftle
1978, Open-File Report 78-531
The table lists full-energy, single-escape, and double-escape photopeak energies corresponding to about 1800 x- and gamma rays derived from natural radioactivity, X-ray fluorescence, neutron reactions, and induced radioactivity. Photon lines have been selected on the basis of their importance in borehole logging by nuclear methods. The mode of production of...
Estuarine research: An annotated bibliography of selected literature, with emphasis on the Hudson River estuary, New York and New Jersey
William N. Embree, Denise A. Wiltshire
1978, Open-File Report 78-782
Abstracts of 177 selected publications on water movement in estuaries, particularly the Hudson River estuary, are compiled for reference in Hudson River studies. Subjects represented are the hydraulic, chemical, and physical characteristics of estuarine waters, estuarine modeling techniques, and methods of water-data collection and analysis. Summaries are presented in five...
Notes on availability of multi-channel seismic processing programs
Robert Brune
1978, Open-File Report 78-421
During the past two years, a seismic processing system has been developed within Western Region offices of the U.S. Geological Survey (Pacific-Arctic Branch of Marine Geology). This brief report describes some of the programs within this system that may be of value to others. We process seismic reflection data taken...
Measured crustal deformation in Imperial Valley, California
Ben Elder Lofgren
1978, Open-File Report 78-910
Precise geodetic surveys since 1972 indicate that significant vertical deformation of the land surface continues in Imperial Valley, California. Measured vertical changes as great as 3.5 cm per year indicate that two types of tectonic movement are occurring: (1) a downward regional tilt of the valley surface from the Mexican...
Field determination of vertical permeability to air in the unsaturated zone
Edwin P. Weeks
1978, Professional Paper 1051
The vertical permeability to air of layered materials in the unsaturated zone may be determined from air pressure data obtained at depth during a period when air pressure is changing at land surface. Such data may be obtained by monitoring barometric pressure with a microbarograph or surveying altimeter and simultaneously...
