Saline ground-water resources of Lee County, Florida
Durward Hoye Boggess
1974, Open-File Report 74-247
Lee County, an area of 786 square miles (1260 square kilometres) on the southwest coast of Florida, is underlain at depths greater than 400 feet (120 metres) by formations containing saline water. Two saline water-bearing zones occur within the depth interval 400 to 1,200 feet (120 to 370 metres); the...

Straight line fitting of an observation path by least normal squares
William H. Kirby
1974, Open-File Report 74-187
In curtain hydro graphic problems, and perhaps in other geophysical problems, information must be collected as profiles along straight-line courses. When the inevitable deviations from perfect linearity occur, one must then find the straight line course that best approximates the actual observation path. Classical least squares (regression) does not solve...

Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina
K.L. Lindskov
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-6
Wastes entering the Yadkin River from the Winston-Salem area, particularly during heavy rains, resulted in several major fish kills in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The actions undertaken to solve this problem, included the collection of data on the time of travel and dispersion characteristics of the tributaries draining...
Gold in the Black Hills, South Dakota, and how new deposits might be found
James Jennings Norton
