Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 -- Mining data Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 -- Mining data

Our Nation's social and economic development has depended on and will continue to depend on the availability of usable water. In 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began publishing water-use data on a national level every 5 years to assist in the management of our Nation's water resources. The USGS currently collects and (or) estimates water-use data for the following categories...

Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 - Public supply data Estimated water use in Ohio, 1990 - Public supply data

Our Nation's social and economic development has depended on and will continue to depend on the availability of usable water. In 1950, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began publishing water-use data on a national level every 5 years to assist in the wise management of our Nation's water resources. The USGS currently collects water-use data for the following categories: public supply...

Sedimentation in Long Lake, Noble County, northeastern Indiana, 1959-88 Sedimentation in Long Lake, Noble County, northeastern Indiana, 1959-88

Sedimentation has had little or no effect on the storage capacity or surface area of Long Lake. The lake is a natural lake that formed in unconsolidated glacial deposits. The lake is essentially two lakes: a small southern part and a large northern part. The lake receives drainage from Thumma Ditch. At the outlet of the lake, the drainage area of Thumma Ditch is 12.0 square miles...

Pressure increases, the for­mation of chromite seams, and the development of the ultramafic series in the Stillwater Complex, Montana Pressure increases, the for­mation of chromite seams, and the development of the ultramafic series in the Stillwater Complex, Montana

This paper explores the hypothesis that chromite seams in the Stillwater Complex formed in response to periodic increases in total pressure in the chamber. Total pressure increased because of the positive δV of nucleation of CO2 bubbles in the melt and their subsequent rise through the magma chamber, during which the bubbles increased in volume by a factor of 4–6. By analogy with the...
