Evapotranspiration from forage grass replacing native vegetation in the Gila River valley of Arizona
O.E. Leppanen
1981, Open-File Report 81-1018
Estimates of evapotranspiration from an area of forage grass, which had been planted to replace native vegetation of little economic value, were made daily for a 363-day period in 1969 and 1970. The measurement site was located in the Gila River valley in east-central Arizona. The forage, panigrass (Panicum antidotale...

Approximate water-level changes in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-81 and 1980-81, and measured compaction, 1973-81, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch, C.E. Ranzau
1981, Open-File Report 81-341
This report consists of: (1) Four maps that present data on water-level changes during 1977-81 and 1980-81 in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers and (2) one set of graphs that present data on the compaction of subsurface materials for 1973-81. During these periods, ground-water pumping decreased in Galveston County and...
Water-quality data for the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system, Trenton to Pennsville, New Jersey, 1980
Thomas V. Fusillo, Lois M. Voronin
1981, Open-File Report 81-814
Samples for chemical analysis were collected from June to December 1980 from 262 wells tapping the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer system. The samples were analyzed for common ions, dissolved metals, nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, volatile organic compounds, pH, temperature, and specific conductance. This report contains the results of the analyses, well construction...

Hydrologic effects of highway-deicing chemicals in Massachusetts; executive summary
L.R. Frost Jr., S.J. Pollock, R.F. Wakelee
1981, Open-File Report 81-210
Methods of estimating annual mean and annual maximum chloride concentrations in streams were developed through multiple and simple linear regression techniques using data collected during the 1972-77 water years. Independent variables are easily obtainable parameters, such as total salt application within a basin, annual precipitation, and drainage basin characteristics. Methods...

Probable high ground-water levels in Massachusetts
M. H. Frimpter
1981, Open-File Report 80-1205
Water-level records from an observation-well network are analyzed for utility in estimating probable high ground-water levels in three different geohydrologic environments in Massachusetts. Analyses were made of 83 observation wells with between 8 and 37 years of records. Maximum annual water levels occur most frequently in March and April. The...
Quality assurance practices for the chemical and biological analyses of water and fluvial sediments
