Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975 Estimated use of water in the United States in 1975
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1975 indicate that an average of about 420 bgd (billion gallons per day) about 1,900 gallons per capita per day was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) publicsupply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock), (3) irrigation, and (4) self-supplied industrial (including...

Classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes in the north central United States Classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes in the north central United States
The hydrologic settings of 150 lakes in the north central United States were investigated by principal component analysis as a first attempt to develop a general classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes. Precipitation-evaporation balance and the water quality variables have high loadings on the first principal component. Highest loadings on component 2 are for streamflow in and...

Preliminary digital model of ground-water flow in the Madison Group, Powder River Basin and adjacent areas, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska Preliminary digital model of ground-water flow in the Madison Group, Powder River Basin and adjacent areas, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska
A digital simulation model was used to analyze regional ground-water flow in the Madison Group aquifer in the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming and adjacent areas. Most recharge to the aquifer originates in or near the outcrop areas of the Madison in the Bighorn Mountains and Black Hills, and most discharge occurs through springs and wells. Flow through the aquifer in the modeled...

Numerical simulation analysis of the interaction of lakes and ground water Numerical simulation analysis of the interaction of lakes and ground water
Because the interrelationship of lakes and ground water is perhaps the least understood aspect of lake hydrology, vertical-section, steadystate, numerical-model simulations were run to evaluate the factors that control the interaction of lakes and ground water. The study is concerned only with lakes encircled by water-table mounds that are at a higher altitude than lake level...

The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) - Some questions and answers The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) - Some questions and answers
One of the major new efforts of the U.S. Geological Survey is the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN). This circular is intended to answer some of the frequently asked questions concerning concepts used in establishing NASQAN, its purposes, design, value, and future plans.

Results of aquifer testing in the Belcourt area, Rolette County, North Dakota Results of aquifer testing in the Belcourt area, Rolette County, North Dakota
The city of Belcourt, Agency headquarters for the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation, is located in northeastern Rolette County, north-central North Dakota. At the request of the U.S. Public Health Service, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study in the vicinity of Belcourt to assist in location of a suitable water supply for the city.

The Black Hills-Rapid City flood of June 9-10, 1972: A description of the storm and flood The Black Hills-Rapid City flood of June 9-10, 1972: A description of the storm and flood
On June 9, 1972, an almost stationary group of thunderstorms formed over the eastern Black Hills of South Dakota near Rapid City and produced record amounts of rainfall and flood discharges. Nearly 15 inches of rain fell in about 6 hours near Nemo, S. Dak., and more than 10 inches of rain fell over a 60-square-mile area. The resulting floods were the highest ever recorded in South Dakota...

Ground-water investigation for U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility O-O, Griggs County, North Dakota Ground-water investigation for U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility O-O, Griggs County, North Dakota
U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility 0-0 is located about 3.6 miles (5.6 kilometres) north of Cooperstown, Griggs County, North Dakota. Test drilling indicates that a glacial-drift aquifer located within about 0.2 mile (0.3 kilometre) of the site will supply 2 to 3 gallons per minute (0.13 to 0.19 litre per second) of acceptable quality water for the facility.
