William Richard Keefer, R. F. Hadley
1976, Circular 743
Campbell County, along the east margin of the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming, contains more coal than any other county in the United States. The principal deposit is the Wyodak-Anderson coal bed. The bed is 50-100 feet (15-30 meters) thick over large areas, lies less than 200 feet (60...

Streamflow data from 14 basins in Davidson County, Tenn., were extended in time by use of a digital model of the hydrologic system. The basins ranged in size from 1.58 to 64.0 square miles and ranged in extent of manmade impervious cover from 3 to 37 percent. The flood-frequency characteristics...
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...

1976, Open-File Report 76-338
From November 1973 to October 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey drilled four deep test holes to supplement hydrologic and geophysical studies evaluating fresh ground water in the basins of westernmost Texas. For each test, samples of drill cuttings were collect·ed, borehole geophysical logs were run, and water samples were collected...

1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-99
Two widely separated sites in California used for motorcycle hill-climbing were studied to evaluate the impact on the landscape and hydrology. At Panoche Hills in central California, an area formerly used by motorcycles together with an adjacent unused area were monitored from 1971 to 1975. Observations in both areas included...

1976, Water Data Report CA-75-3
Water-resources data for the 1975 water year for California consist of records of streamflow and contents of reservoirs at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites; records of water quality including the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of surface and ground water; and records of water levels in selected observation...
Map showing configuration and thickness, and potentiometric surface and water quality in the Madison Group, Powder River basin, Wyoming and Montana
F. A. Swenson, W. R. Miller, W.G. Hodson, F. N. Visher
1976, IMAP 847-C
With development of the coal resources of the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana the demand for water will increase greatly. The study upon which this report is based was designed to make a preliminary evaluation of the available geo-hydrologic data for the Madison Group, which is an extensive...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in Nebraska
Emil W. Beckman
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-109
Estimates of flood characteristics with recurrence intervals up to 100 years can be obtained at most sites in Nebraska by use of techniques presented in this report. Instructions, equations, and graphs are presented to aid the design engineer in estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods. For natural-flow streams, the estimating...
A review of hydrologic and geologic conditions related to the radioactive solid-waste burial grounds at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee
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...
Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas metropolitan area, 1976
Lynn Harmsen
1976, Open-File Report 78-164
Hydrologic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Dallas, Dallas County, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.The Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Water Resources, expanded the existing streamflow network in...
Teton Dam flood of June 1976, Woodville quadrangle, Idaho
