1976, Open-File Report 76-394
Sandy beds of the Wilcox Group in Texas are underlain and overlain by clays of the Midway and Claiborne Groups. The Wilcox is divided by a persistent shale wedge. Contrasting delta systems described as high-constructive and high-destructive exist in the divisions. Merged high constructive deltas characterize the lower, while the...

Floodflow characteristics at proposed bridge site on Fishkill Creek, Fishkill, New York
Thomas J. Zembrzuski, Bernard Dunn
1976, Open-File Report 76-595
An evaluation of floodflow characteristics of Fishkill Creek at the proposed bridge site at Fishkill, N.Y., was made for the 50- and 100-year floods. The flood-frequency analysis revealed that the magnitude of the 50- and 100-year floods are 8,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 10,000 cfs, respectively. The normal...

Groundwater from Lower Cretaceous rocks in Kansas
Katherine M. Keene, Charles Knight Bayne
1976, Open-File Report 76-776
Sandstones in Lower Cretaceous rocks contain supplies, of water that may be adequate to meet increasing present and future demands for supplemental municipal and domestic use in central and western Kansas. An estimated 70 to 80 million acre-feet (86,000 to 99,000 cubic hectometers) of water containing less than 1,000 milligrams...

Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1971-74
Robert L. Goemaat
1976, Open-File Report 76-664
The objectives of the observation-well program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate the future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for use in basic research. These selected records serve as a...

1976, Open-File Report 76-824
As an integral part of the Alaskan Mineral Resource Assessment Program, a geochemical reconnaissance survey was conducted in the McCarthy quadrangle during the summer of 1974. The investigation consisted of geochemical sampling, multielement chemical and spectrographic analyses, compilation of new and existing geochemical data, statistical evaluation of the total data...

Hydrology and environmental aspects of Erie Canal (1817-99)
Walter Basil Langbein
1976, Water Supply Paper 2038
As the first major water project in the United States, the old Erie Canal provides an example of the hydrological and environmental consequences of water development. The available record shows that the project aroused environmental fears that the canal might be impaired by the adverse hydrologic effects of land development...

Probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa near Winter, Wisconsin
William R. Krug
1976, Open-File Report 76-800
The probable maximum flood was computed for Lake Chippewa, Wisconsin, and routed through the lake to determine maximum lake stage. The peak discharge of the probable maximum flood at Lake Chippewa was computed to be about 75,000 cubic feet per second, primarily caused by rainfall on the lake. A secondary...

Salt-water encroachment in aquifers near the Houston Ship Channel, Texas
Donald G. Jorgensen
1976, Open-File Report 76-781
Interpretations based on analyses of inorganic constituents, dissolved organic carbon, and tritium in ground water and surface waters indicate that the Houston Ship Channel is the source of salt water that has been detected in shallow wells between Baytown and Houston, Texas. Analyses of the ratios of the stable isotopes...
Geochemical and hydrologic data for wells and springs in thermal-spring areas of the Appalachians
W.A. Hobba, J.C. Chemerys, D.W. Fisher, F. J. Pearson Jr.
1976, Open-File Report 76-550
Current interest in geothermal potential of thermal-spring areas in the Appalachians makes all data on thermal springs and wells in these areas valuable. Presented here without interpretive comment are maps showing selected springs and wells and tables of physical and chemical data pertaining to these wells and springs. The chemical...

1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-54
Floods in the consolidated city of Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, are caused directly by rainfall which, when combined with storm driven tides, causes rivers or other bodies of water to flood the low lying parts of the county. This map report supplies information on areas subject to floods of 100-year...
