Lineanents and fracture traces have been mapped throughout Decatur County, Indiana. These lineaments and fracture traces may indicate that solution enlarged vertical fractures in the limestone and dolonite aquifers underlie most of the county. The use of lineament and fracture-trace maps in selecting bedrock-drilling sites results in a significant increase in the number of usable sites. Bedrock we

A map of the water table in the Solomon River valley from Waconda Lake to Solomon presents current (1980) data on water levels in the unconsolidated deposits.  The study was made, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, to obtain information for use in a water-management study of the Soloman River Basin. 

This report summarizes the progress on water-resources studies in Utah by the U.S. Geological Survey during the period July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983. Much of the work was done in cooperation with the State of Utah and local agencies. Additional supporting funds were transferred from other Federal agencies or appropriated directly to the Geological Survey.

Chemical analyses of elutriates, bottom sediment and water samples for selected metals, nutrients and organic compounds including insecticides and herbicides have been made to provide data to determine short-term water quality conditions associated with dredging operations in rivers and estuaries. Between May and December 1980 data were collected as far south as the Coos River in Western Oregon, a

Data are provided for the Hay Creek study area near Wibaux, Mont., and the West Branch Antelope Creek study area near Beulah, N. Dak. The report contains data on the following: Air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind run, solar radiation, precipitation, soil temperature, snowpack temperature, snowpack density and water content, streamflow, water quality, soil moisture, land use, a

A study was made, in cooperation with the Division of Water Resources, Kansas State Board of Agriculture, to determine geohydrologic conditions in an area comprising nearly 850,000 acres along the Arkansas River valley in Kearny and Finney Counties, southwestern Kansas. The Arkansas River meanders atop and interacts hydraulically with the area's multilayered, unconsolidated aquifer system. Decline

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 Lake Tawak

For the past several years, drainage-area data have been determined for approximately 12,400 selected sites on streams in North Carolina. Location information, including distance of nearby towns or other landmarks, latitude and longitude coordinates, county in which the site lies, and the name of the latest topographic maps on which the site is located, are also provided.

Northern Clackamas County is part of the rapidly growing Portland metropolitan area. Population of this 250-square-mile area increased about 50 percent between 1970 and 1976. The study area includes a small segment of the Willamette River alluvial valley near Canby, and extends northward to the Clackamas River and eastward to the western boundary of Mount Hood National Forest. Also included is the

Results of time-of-travel and dispersion studies are presented for the 77.0 mile reach of the Lehigh River from Francis E. Walter Lake to Easton, Pennsylvania. Rhodamine WT dye was injected at several points for a variety of several common flow conditions and its downstream travel was monitored at a number of downstream points by means of a fluorometer. Time-of-travel data have been related to str
