Relation of precipitation to annual ground-water recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Celso Puente
1975, Open-File Report 75-298
Annual recharge data obtained from historical records and mean-annual precipitation data computed from rainfall records were used to develop simple linear-regression equations for use in estimating annual recharge for seven subbasins in the San Antonio area. Adjustments were made to the precipitation parameter to account for the effects of year-end...
Hydrology for land-use planning: The Hillside area, Anchorage, Alaska
Larry L. Dearborn, William W. Barnwell
1975, Open-File Report 75-105
Rapid residential growth of the Hillside area, Anchorage, Alaska, may cause depletion of aquifers and a change in quality of water resources as a result of extensive development of small-lot tracts. Ground-water yields are low and may be locally inadequate for single family requirements where wells produce from bedrock in...
Hydrologic effects of reducing irrigation to maintain a permanent pool in John Martin Reservoir, Arkansas River Valley, Colorado
Richard R. Luckey
1975, Open-File Report 75-214
The U.S. Geological Survey has evaluated a plan by the Colorado Division of Wildlife to maintain a permanent pool of 10,000 acre-feet (1.2x107 cubic metres) in John Martin Reservoir on the Arkansas River. The proposed pool would be maintained through the use of water formerly diverted by the Catlin Canal...

A digital-computer model for estimating drawdowns in the sandstone aquifer in Dane County, Wisconsin
R.S. McLeod
1975, Open-File Report 74-59
A digital-computer program was developed to compute nonsteady and steady-state hydrologic changes caused by pumping from a confined aquifer. The program computes head changes in the confined aquifer and the rate and volume of water withdrawn from aquifer boundaries.The program was used to model the sandstone aquifer underlying Dane County,...

Reclamation by tubewell drainage in Rechna Doab and adjacent areas, Punjab region, Pakistan
Glenn T. Malmberg
1975, Water Supply Paper 1608-O
Around the turn of the century, a network of more than 40,000 miles of canals was constructed to divert water from the Indus River and its tributaries to about 23 million acres of largely unused desert in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The favorable climate and the perennial supply of...
Hydrology of sand-and-gravel aquifer in central and southern Escambia County, Florida
Henry Trapp Jr.
1975, Open-File Report 74-218
The sand-and-gravel aquifer is the only fresh-water aquifer in the Pensacola area. Problems related to development of the aquifer include maximum safe yield, local contamination, local salt-water intrusion, corrosiveness of the water, areas of high iron concentration, and increasing nitrate concentration. The city of Pensacola is seeking hydrologic information, including...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Montezuma Creek-Aneth area, southeastern Utah
C. T. Sumsion
1975, Open-File Report 75-268
The Montezuma Creek-Aneth area is in the northeastern part of the Navajo Indian Reservation in southeastern Utah. It is a semiarid area along the San Juan River near the communities of Montezuma Creek and Aneth. Within the Blanding Basin, geologic formations exposed are of Jurassic and Quaternary age. The rock...

Hydrology and sedimentation of Bixler Run basin, central Pennsylvania
Lloyd A. Reed
1975, Open-File Report 75-26
Rainfall, streamflow, stream chemical, and sediment discharge data were collected from Bixler Run near Loysville, Pa., during the period February 1954 to September 1969, as part of a project to evaluate sediment discharge from an agricultural area that had been adopting soil-conservation techniques at a moderate rate. The study was...

Ecological problems are a major concern to Florida as well as to the Nation. National attention was focused on these problems in September 1968, when the Port Authority of Dade County began to con-struct a jetport for supersonic aircraft on a 39-square-mile tract 6 miles north of Everglades National Park...
New tritium data on movement of groundwater in western Fresno County, California
Joseph Fairfield Poland, Gordon L. Stewart
1975, Water Resources Research (11) 716-724
Well waters along two traverse lines were sampled in 1963 and tested for tritium concentration. Haskell et al. [1966] estimated from the apparent thermonuclear tritium concentrations that groundwater had moved westward in the lower water‐bearing zone at a maximum velocity of 14–16.5 mi (23–27 km) in 9 yr. The maximum velocities...

1975, Report
Repeated site surveys and aerial photographs at 26 stream crossings along the trans-Alaska pipeline system (TAPS) route during the period 1969-74 provide chronologie records of channel changes that predate pipeline-related construction at the sites. The 1974 surveys and photographs show some of the channel changes wrought by construction of the...
