A program to compute aquifer-response coefficients
Thomas Maddock
1974, Open-File Report 75-612
An alternating direction technique is used to solve finite difference equations approximating the flow of water in an aquifer. The solutions produce response coefficients relating pumping from wells to drawdowns within those wells. The product of the response coefficient with the pumping values produces a linear algebraic technological function that...
Hydrology of the abandoned coal mines in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania
Jerrald R. Hollowell
1974, Open-File Report 74-237
Mine-water discharge, into the Susquehanna River degrades the river's quality during periods of low flow to a point critical for subsistence of aquatic life. To determine what measures are required to provide a better quality mine-water discharge in the Wyoming Valley, mine hydrology and mine-water quality are related to mine-pool...

1974, Open-File Report 74-255
The Piceance and Yellow Creeks drainage area is about 900 square miles (2,330 square kilometres) and is referred to as the Piceance basin, or simply as the basin. The surface-water and ground-water systems in the Piceance basin are intimately related. The annual volume of runoff from the basin (Piceance and...
Analog-model studies of ground-water hydrology in the Houston District, Texas
Donald G. Jorgensen
1974, Open-File Report 74-113
The major water-bearing units in the Houston district are the Chicot and the Evangeline aquifers. The Chicot aquifer overlies the Evangeline aquifer, which is underlain by the Burkeville confining layer. Both aquifers consist of unconsolidated and discontinuous layers of sand and clay that dip toward the Gulf of Mexico. Heavy...

Proposed hydrologic analyses of streamflow for Brazil
Henry Chiles Riggs
1974, Open-File Report 74-328
The objective of my assignment was to recommend what hydrologic analyses might be made using the records of stream discharge soon to be available at the gaging stations in Brazil. To attain this objective I (1) examined the streamflow records in part of the Rio Jacui basin in the state...

Geologic and hydrologic considerations for various concepts of high-level radioactive waste disposal in conterminous United States
E. B. Ekren, G.A. Dinwiddie, J. W. Mytton, William Thordarson, J. E. Weir Jr., E. N. Hinrichs, L.J. Schroder
1974, Open-File Report 74-158
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate and identify which geohydrologic environments in conterminous United States are best suited for various concepts or methods of underground disposal of high-level radioactive wastes and to establish geologic and hydrologic criteria that are pertinent to high-level waste disposal. The unproven methods of...
Summary appraisals of the Nation's ground-water resources; Texas Gulf region
E. T. Baker Jr., James Ray Wall
1974, Open-File Report 74-331
Ground water in the Texas-Gulf Region is a large and important resource that can provide a more significant percentage of the total water supply of the region. Total water requirements within the region are projected to rise sharply from 14 million acre-feet (17 cubic kilometres) in 1970 to nearly 26...
Streamflow measurement network review for hydroelectric power applications in Brazil
Francis T. Schaefer
1974, Open-File Report 74-357
This review of selected segments of the stream-gaging network of Brazil was undertaken by the writer in March and April, 1973, pursuant to an agreement between Companhia de Pesquisa de Recursos Minerais (CPRM) and Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras S.A. (ELETROBRAS) as a part of the cooperative program of the U.S. Geological...
Geologic and hydrologic control of chloride contamination in aquifers at Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia
Dean O. Gregg, Everett Alfred Zimmerman
1974, Water Supply Paper 2029-D
Water from a brackish-water zone (1,050-1,350 ft) has concentrations as high as 2,150 milligrams per liter chloride, and concentrations are suspected to be higher than 3,000 milligrams per liter chloride. This brackish water has been identified as the source of the water that contaminates the upper and lower fresh-water-bearing zones...

Water quality of hydrologic bench marks; an indicator of water quality in the natural environment
James E. Biesecker, Donald K. Leifeste
1974, Circular 460-E
Water-quality data, collected at 57 hydrologic bench-mark stations in 37 States, allow the definition of water quality in the 'natural' environment and the comparison of 'natural' water quality with water quality of major streams draining similar water-resources regions. Results indicate that water quality in the 'natural' environment is generally very...
Floodflow characteristics of Fourche Creek at Interstate Highway 430, in southwest Little Rock, Arkansas
R.C. Gilstrap, J.N. Sullavan
1974, Open-File Report 74-343
The Arkansas State Highway Department is constructing Interstate Highway 430 (1-430) across Fourche Creek in southwest Little Rock. The Highway Department requested the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the elevation, the discharge, and the frequency of the flood of April 21, 1974, and the elevation, the discharge, and the backwater...
