A stochastic streamflow model of the Platte River at Overton, Odessa, and Grand Island, Nebraska
A.V. Vecchia Jr.
1981, Open-File Report 81-1188
A stochastic model is developed to simulate flows for three seasons (September through February, March and April, May through August) at Overton, Odessa, and Grand Island, Nebraska on the Platte River. The model preserves the first and second order moment properties of the historical flow series, including significant autocorrelations within...

Mekometer measurements in the Imperial Valley
Ronald G. Mason, C.N. Crook, P.R. Wood
1981, Open-File Report 80-2008
During the six weeks following the October 15, 1979 earthquake, parts of the Imperial Valley Mekometer network (Fig. 1) around the Imperial fault to the east of El Centro were re-measured, some repeatedly, in an attempt to assess the coseismic and postearthquake slip on the fault, and horizontal strain adjustment...
Selected drill-stem-test data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
1981, Open-File Report 81-326
Selected drill-stem-test data were collected for use in the hydrologic analysis of aquifers in the northern Great Plains area of Montana. To supplement existing data defining the potentiometric surface of various aquifers, shut-in pressures recorded during drill-stem tests of oil and gas test wells were used to calculate the altitude...

Selected hydrogeologic data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
1981, Open-File Report 81-534
Selected hydrologic data have been used in a 4-year study of aquifers of Cenozoic and Mesozoic age in the northern Great Plains to define the hydrologic system and to generate hydrologic maps. Records of 6,754 wells and 188 springs are tabulated in the report. The well data include site location,...
Road log and documentary photographs for 15 significant biostratigraphic sites in Miocene-Pliocene limestone, Kingshill Seaway, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
Barbara H. Lidz
1981, Open-File Report 81-1291
Detailed examination of planktonic Foraminifera from the type section of the Miocene Kingshill Limestone and from 14 other Miocene and lower Pliocene limestone exposures in the Kingshill Seaway of St. Croix ((at 17°44' N., long 64° 46' W.; fig. 1) has led to the first publication of an in-depth biostratigraphic...
Selected biological characteristics of streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
Ronald W. Naten, Richard H. Fuller
1981, Open-File Report 81-644
Biological sampling was carried out during 1976-78 in five streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, in order to provide baseline water-quality data for an area of potential oil-shale development. The biological activity in the streams sampled generally is limited by physical factors more so than by chemical...

Hydrology and the effects of industrial pumping in the Nikiski area, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson
1981, Open-File Report 81-685
Ground-water consumption for industrial use at Nikiski increased from about 1 million gallons per day in 1968 to 4.2 million gallons per day in 1979. Water managers and local citizens are concerned that industrial pumping may reduce the esthetic and recreational value of local lakes. Some lake levels have declined...
