January 1980 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
M.E. Pabst
1980, Open-File Report 80-958
This report contains hydrologic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter, mostly in January, when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. This report also provides basic hydrologic...

Cape Cod Aquifer, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Barbara J. Ryan
1980, Open-File Report 80-571
Ground water was the major source of drinking water on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1978. Withdrawals from over 100 municipal wells averaged 17.5 million gallons per day in 1978. Private wells on Cape Cod are estimated to number 15,000. Ground water occurs primarily under unconfined or water-table conditions. Artesian conditions...

Simulated effects of ground-water development on potentiometric surface of the Floridan Aquifer, west-central Florida
William Edward Wilson, James M. Gerhart
1980, Open-File Report 79-1271
A digital model of two-dimensional ground-water flow was used to predict changes in the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer, 1976-2000, in a 5,938-square-mile area of west-central Florida. In 1975, ground water withdrawn from the Floridan aquifer for irrigation, phosphate mines, other industries, and municipal supplies averaged about 649 million...

Geochemistry of water in the Fort Union Formation of the northern Powder River basin, southeastern Montana
Roger W. Lee
1980, Open-File Report 80-336
Shallow water in the coal-bearing Fort Union Formation of southeastern Montana was investigated to provide a better understanding of the geochemistry. Springs, wells less than 200 feet deep, and wells greater then 200 feet deep were observed to have different water qualities. Overall, the ground water exists as two systems:...
High-resolution seismic-reflection profiles collected by the R/V James M. Gilliss, cruise GS 7903-4, in the Baltimore Canyon outer continental shelf area, offshore New Jersey
James M. Robb
1980, Open-File Report 80-934
High-resolution seismic-reflection profiles were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aboard R/V JAMES M. GILLIS (cruise GS 7903-4) from 27 June to 11 July 1979 over the Continental Slope of the Eastern United States between Lindenkohl and Hudson Canyons. These data were acquired as part of a study to...
Barren area evapotranspiration estimates generated from energy budget measurements in the Gila River valley of Arizona
O.E. Leppanen
1980, Open-File Report 80-1003
Estimates of evapotranspiration for 479 successive days were created by using energy budget measurements. The measurement point was on the 2-kilometer wide flood plain of the Gila River in east-central Arizona, about 18 kilometers above Coolidge Dam. The flood plain had been cleared of all tall vegetation for distances of...
Geothermal resources in the Banbury Hot Springs area, Twin Falls County, Idaho
R.E. Lewis, H.W. Young
1980, Open-File Report 80-563
Thermal water (30.0 to 72.0 degrees Celsius) is produced from 26 wells and 2 springs in the vicinity of Banbury Hot Springs near Buhl, Idaho. Thermal water is used for space heating of private residences, catfish and tropical fish production, greenhouse operation, swimming pools, and therapeutic baths. In 1979, 10...

High-resolution seismic-reflection profiles were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aboard R/V COLUMBUS ISELIN, cruise 7807-1, from 18 August to 4 September 1978 over the Continental Slope of the Eastern United States between Wilmington and Hudson Canyons. These data were acquired as part of a study to determine potential...
Chemical character of water in the Red River alluvial aquifer, Louisiana

1980, Open-File Report 80-1018
The Red River alluvial aquifer of Louisiana underlies approximately 2,000 square miles in the Red River Valley of Louisiana. The aquifer is Pleistocene in age and consists of clay, silt, sand, and gravel deposited by the Red River. Sand and gravel constitute the lower two-thirds of the deposit, the most...

The State/Federal Beaufort Sea lease sale in December 1979 attracted over one billion dollars in bids. Tracts with the highest bids, and apparently with the highest oil potential, lie in the area south of Dinkum Sands, and within a three-mile radius of the shoal (Fig. 1). Jurisdiction over the tracts...
Digital-computer model of ground-water flow in Tooele Valley, Utah
Allan C. Razem, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Open-File Report 80-446
A two-dimensional, finite-difference digital-computer model was used to simulate the ground-water flow in the principal artesian aquifer in Tooele Valley, Utah. The parameters used in the model were obtained through field measurements and tests, from historical records, and by trial-and-error adjustments. The model was calibrated against observed water-level changes that...

1980, Open-File Report 80-969
Land-surface subsidence has been mapped in the Houston-Galveston area and is known to have occurred in other areas within the Texas coastal region. Most of the subsidence has been caused by both the withdrawal of ground water and by the production of oil, gas, and associated ground water. Land-surface subsidence was...
