Summary of hydrologic information in the El Paso, Texas, area, with emphasis on ground-water studies, 1903-80 Summary of hydrologic information in the El Paso, Texas, area, with emphasis on ground-water studies, 1903-80
Significant development of ground water in the El Paso area started in the early 1900's; pumping gradually increased to the early 1950's and has since accelerated commensurate with the area's rapid population growth. In 1980, withdrawals of ground water for municipal, industrial, and military supplies totaled 164,354 acre-feet (203 cubic hectometers) within the El Paso, Fort Bliss, and...

Chemical and hydrologic assessment of the Caloosahatchee River basin, Lake Okeechobee to Franklin Lock, Florida Chemical and hydrologic assessment of the Caloosahatchee River basin, Lake Okeechobee to Franklin Lock, Florida
Annual discharge (1970-79 water years) from Lake Okeechobee to the Caloosahatchee River averaged 51 percent of the total river discharge at Franklin Lock and ranged from 10 to 71 percent of total discharge. Excluding rainfall on the river surface and upstream seepage, surface and subsurface runoff from the basin accounted for the remaining total river discharge at Franklin Lock. Nitrogen...

Water quality of Lake Arlington on Village Creek, north-central Texas; 1973 to 1981 Water quality of Lake Arlington on Village Creek, north-central Texas; 1973 to 1981
Water in Lake Arlington on Village Creek in north-central Texas had volume-weighted average concentrations of less than 240 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, less than 30 milligrams per liter of dissolved chloride, and less than 40 milligrams per liter of dissolved sulfate between January 29, 1973, and August 20, 1981. The water was moderately hard (hardness greater than 60 but...

Streamflow losses along the Balcones Fault Zone, Nueces River basin, Texas Streamflow losses along the Balcones Fault Zone, Nueces River basin, Texas
An investigation was conducted to quantify and to determine distribution of streamflow losses and gains that occur during sustained flow conditions in the Balcones Fault Zone of the Nueces River basin. The streams studied include the West Nueces, Nueces, Dry Frio, Frio, and Sabinal Rivers, and Seco, Hondo, and Verde Creeks. Streamflow measurements made during the recession of storm flows

Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia
The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated to be reached at average intervals of 10 to 25 years. Flows in the Flint River from central to southwest...

Structure, temperature, pressure, and salinity of Cenozoic aquifers of south Texas Structure, temperature, pressure, and salinity of Cenozoic aquifers of south Texas
A study of the hydrogeology of deep sedimentary basins using the Neogene deposits of the northern Gulf of Mexico basin as a model was initiated by the U.S. Geological Survey in the 1960's (Jones, 1969). This study led to investigations of geopressured-geothermal resources in this basin (Papadopulos and others, 1975; Wallace and others, 1979) and of the waste storage capabilities of the...

Reconnaissance of ground water in vicinity of Wichita Mountains southwestern Oklahoma Reconnaissance of ground water in vicinity of Wichita Mountains southwestern Oklahoma
Urbanization and industrial growth have increased demands on water supplies in the vicinity of the Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma. The principal city, Lawton, uses surface water, supplemented by small quantities of ground water from the Arbuckle Group (Cambrian-Ordovician), for industrial and recreational use. During periods of drought, surface-water supplies in the Wichita...

Water quality at and adjacent to the south Dade County solid-waste disposal facility, Florida Water quality at and adjacent to the south Dade County solid-waste disposal facility, Florida
A water-quality reconnaissance was conducted at the south Dade County solid-waste landfill near Goulds, Florida, from December 1977 through August 1978. The landfill is located directly on the unconfined Biscayne aquifer, which, in the study area, is affected by saltwater intrusion. Water samples collected from six monitor well sites at two depths and four surface-water sites were...

Gain-loss study along two streams in the upper Sabine River basin, Texas; August-September 1981 Gain-loss study along two streams in the upper Sabine River basin, Texas; August-September 1981
A gain-loss study was made August-September 1981 along the upper Sabine River from Lake Tawakoni to Farm Road 2517 near Carthage and along Lake Fork Creek from Lake Fork Reservoir to its junction (mouth) with the Sabine River. The hydrologic data collected during the gain-loss study indicated that during periods of low flow on the Sabine River, at least as much water as is released from...
