Preliminary flood-frequency relations for urban streams, Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia
Harold G. Golden
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-57
A method is presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods for urban streams in metropolitan Atlanta. The method is based on adjustments to the natural stream flood-frequency and rainfall-frequency characteristics of the local area as defined by urban flood studies in other areas.The effects of urbanization on flood-peak...

Large landslides, composed of megabreccia, interbedded in Miocene basin deposits, southeastern Arizona
Medora Louise Hooper Krieger
1977, Professional Paper 1008
The landslides in the Kearny and El Capitan Mountain quadrangles, Pinal and Gila Counties, Ariz., are tabular or lens like masses of megabreccia enclosed in Miocene basin deposits. The megabreccias within individual slide blocks are composed of pervasively brecciated Precambrian and younger formations that remain in normal stratigraphic sequence, indicating...

Sedimentation in Santa Margarita Lake, San Luis Obispo County, California
G. Douglas Glysson
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-56
The 1975 storage capacity of Santa Margarita Lake in San Luis Obispo County, Calif., was 41,400 acre-feet, a decrease of 3,400 acre-feet since 1941. Usable capacity decreased from 25,800 to 23,000 acre-feet. Long-term sediment yield for the Salinas River basin upstream from the lake was estimated at 1,150 tons per...

Nature and extent of ground-water-quality changes resulting from solid-waste disposal, Marion County, Indiana
R. A. Pettijohn
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-40
Studies of seven landfills in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area indicate that in five of the landfills movement of ground water is from the deep aquifers into the uppermost aquifer. In the other two landfills, movement of ground water is from the shallow aquifers to the deeper aquifers, so that leachate...
Water resources of the Maunabo Valley, Puerto Rico
D. G. Adolphson, M.A. Seijo, Tully M. Robison
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-115
The Maunabo Valley, in southestern Puerto Rico, consists of a 3.5-square-mile alluvial plain surrounded by hills of metavolcanic and igneous intrusive rocks. The principal source of ground water in the basin is a shallow unconfined aquifer in the valley alluvium. Continuous pumping of the shallow aquifer has induced the flow...

1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-67
Fifty gallons per minute (3 liters per second) or more may be obtained from wells in almost all parts of the county, but not at all locations. Adequate exploration to find fracture or solution openings is required. Five hundred gallons per minute (30 liters per second) or more may be...
Theoretical drawdown due to simulated pumpage from the Ohio River alluvial aquifer near Siloam, Kentucky
J. M. Kernodle
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-24
Theoretical drawdown due to simulated pumpage was determined for a site near Siloam, Kentucky by using a digital ground-water-flow model. The maximum sustained yield of water from the single well was shown to be less than 900 gallons per minute, and, for a simulated pumping rate of 450 gallons per...
Factors controlling localization of uranium deposits in the Dakota Sandstone, Gallup and Ambrosia Lake mining districts, McKinley County, New Mexico
Charles Thomas Pierson, Morris W. Green
1977, Open-File Report 77-766
Geologic studies were made at all of the uranium mines and prospects in the Dakota Sandstone of Early(?) and Late Cretaceous age in the Gallup mining district, McKinley County, New Mexico. Dakota mines in the adjacent Ambrosia Lake mining district were visited briefly for comparative purposes. Mines in the eastern...
Quality of rivers of the United States, 1974 water year: based on the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN)
Richard O. Hawkinson, John F. Ficke, L.G. Saindon
1977, Open-File Report 77-151
The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) was established by the U.S Geological Survey to determine and compare the quality at key locations on the Nation 's major rivers. There are 345 stations in the network--data from the first 101 of these (those operating during the 1974 water year) are...
Ground-water resources of Cambodia

Cambodia (now the Khmer Republic), in tropical, humid southeast Asia, has an area of 175,630 km and a population of about 5 million. The Mekong River, one of the world's largest rivers, flows through Cambodia. Also, the Tonle Sap (Grand Lac), a highly productive fresh-water lake, functions as a huge...
Digital computer simulation model of the Englishtown aquifer in the northern coastal plain of New Jersey
W. D. Nichols
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-73
Continued decline of water levels in the Englishtown aquifer, in New Jersey, has caused considerable concern regarding the ability of the aquifer to meet future yield demands. A detailed study of the capability of the aquifer to yield water entailed the use of a digital computer simulation model to evaluate...
