Model analysis of effects on water levels at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by construction dewatering
James R. Marie
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-82
Two computer models were developed to investigate possible hydrologic effects within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore caused by planned dewatering at the adjacent Bailly Nuclear Generator construction site. The dewatering, which is scheduled to last for about 18 months, would cause ground-water levels to be drawn down 20 to 30...

Ground water favorability and surficial geology of the Portland area, Maine
Glenn C. Prescott
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 561
This hydrologic atlas describes the surficial geology and groundwater resources of about 240 square miles in Cumberland County, Maine. The most productive aquifers are outwash and ice-contact deposits. Their locations and the most favorable areas for obtaining large yields from them are indicated on the map. The largest reported yield...

Teton Dam flood of June 1976, Parker quadrangle, Idaho
Cecil Albert Thomas, Herman A. Ray
1976, Hydrologic Atlas 567
The failure of Teton Dam caused extreme flooding along the Teton River, Henrys Fork, and Snake River in southeastern Idaho on June 5-8, 1976. No flooding occurred downstream from American Falls, Reservoir. The inundated areas and maximum water-surface elevations are shown in a series of 17 hydrologic atlases. The area...
Evaluation of hydrologic properties of the Long Island ground-water reservoir using cross-sectional electric-analog models
O.L. Franke, R.T. Getzen
1976, Open-File Report 75-679
Variables necessary for constructing a quantitative model to predict the response of ground-water reservoirs to hydrologic stresses are in four classes: (a) external and internal geometry of the reservoir, (b) nature of the reservoir boundaries, (c) areal distribution of horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivities, and (d) areal distribution of storage...
Preliminary photointerpretation map of landslide and other surficial deposits of the Mount Vaca, Vacaville, and parts of Courtland, Davis, Lake Berryessa, and Woodland 15-minute quadrangles, Napa and Solano counties, California
John D. Sims, Virgil A. Frizzell Jr.
1976, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 719
This map presents preliminary information about the distribution and general character of landslides and other surficial deposits. When used in combination with other types of information, such as data on soils, bedrock geology, slopes, seismic response, hydrology, vegetation and climatic variation, it should be easier to arrive at sound decisions...
Fresh ground water found deep beneath Nantucket Island, Masachusetts
F. A. Kohout, E.H. Walker, Michael H. Bothner, J.C. Hathaway
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 511-515
In a deep water-resources and stratigraphic test well near the center of Nantucket Island, about 30 miles (48 kilometres) off the New England coast, freshwater has been found at greater depths than predicted by the Ghyben-Herzberg principle. An uppermost lens of freshwater, which occupies relatively permeable glacial-outwash sand and gravel...
Bicarbonate content of groundwater in carbonate rock in eastern North America
F.W. Trainer, R.C. Heath
1976, Journal of Hydrology (31) 37-55
In carbonate-rock terrane the most effective solution occurs where soil and vegetative cover facilitate biogenic production and storage of CO2 in the soil until part of it is carried downward in percolating water. Bicarbonate data for groundwater in eastern North America are examined in the light of these conditions, of...

Simulation of forest changes related to hydrologic variables in the Atchafalaya River basin, Louisiana
M. E. Jennings, C. P. O’Neil
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 481-489
Results of forest-trend modeling from one data set in the Atchafalaya River basin show that predicted forest acreage totals for 16 forest types agree within 30 percent of actual values in two-thirds of the comparisons. A forest-trend simulation model based on statistical regression relations of forest and hydrologic variables and...

Hydrology of the North Cascades region, Washington: 2. A proposed hydrometeorological streamflow prediction method
Wendell V. Tangborn, Lowell A. Rasmussen
1976, Water Resources Research (12) 203-216
On the basis of a linear relationship between winter (October-April) precipitation and annual runoff from a drainage basin (Rasmussen and Tangborn, 1976) a physically reasonable model for predicting summer (May-September) streamflow from drainages in the North Cascades region was developed. This hydrometeorological prediction method relates streamflow for a season beginning...
