Bathymetry of Lakes Marion and Moultrie, South Carolina, 1984-85

Lakes Marion and Moultrie are two large, interconnected reservoirs in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina. Bathymetric surveys during 1984-85 determined that, for the full-pool water surface elevation of 76.8 ft, the volume of Lake Marion is 1,425 ,000 acre-ft, and for the full-pool water surface elevation of 75.0 ft, the volume of Lake Moultrie is 1,060,000 acre-ft. These volumes are considered a

Potential yields of wells in unconsolidated aquifers in upstate New York — Hudson-Mohawk sheet

This map shows the location and potential well yields of unconsolidated aquifers in the Hudson-Mohawk region at a scale of 1:250,000. It also delineates segments of aquifers that are heavily used by community water systems and designated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as ' Primary Water Supply ' aquifers, and cites published reports that give detailed information on

Water use in New Mexico, 1985

Water-use data are essential for managing the State's limited water resources. The New Mexico State Engineer Office (NMSEO) and the U.S. Geological Survey collect and publish data on water use at 5-year intervals. These data are used by Federal and State agencies, city and county planners, private industry, and irrigation districts. This report graphically summarizes water-use data by county in Ne

Selected water-quality data for the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, southeastern Idaho

This report presents July 1988 water quality data, principally dissolved nitrite plus nitrate (as nitrogen), and depth-to-water measurements for 60 wells in the Fort Hall Indian Reservation north of Pocatello, southeastern Idaho. Nitrogen concentrations ranged from 0.7 to 24 mg/L; the median concentration was 3.1 mg/L. Nitrogen concentrations in 11 samples exceeded the U. S. Environmental Protecti

Approximate altitude of water levels in wells in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers in the Houston area, Texas, spring 1988

Two maps show water levels in wells in the Houston, Texas, area in the Chicot aquifer and the Evangeline aquifer, spring 1988. Both the Chicot and the Evangeline aquifers are composed of several sand layers with different potentiometric surfaces. These maps, however, show approximations of single potentiometric surfaces that represent composite hydraulic heads. (USGS)

Approximate water-level changes in wells completed in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, 1977-88 and 1987-88, and measured compaction, 1973-88, in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas

This report, which was prepared in cooperation with the city of Houston and the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District, presents data on water-level changes in the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers.
