Approximate potentiometric surfaces for the aquifers of the Texas coastal uplands system, 1980
The National Water Commission recommended that the U.S. Geological Survey conduct intensive studies of the important regional aquifer systems in the United States, particularly those with declining water levels and deteriorating water quality. The result has been a series of Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) studies, one of which is the West Gulf Coast RASA study (Grubb, 1984). The West Gu

Average Annual Runoff in the United States, 1951-80
Runoff is the water in a river or stream that results from precipitation falling on the drainage basin. It is the net discharge into the stream from surface-water and ground-water sources with losses occurring from evapotranspiration and other consumptive uses. Runoff can be expressed by a variety of numerical values, but average depth of water over the drainage basin, in inches per year, probably

Flood-flow characteristics of Nancy Creek at Georgia Highway 400 extension near Atlanta, Georgia
The Highway Division, Georgia Department of Transportation, plans the extension of Georgia Highway 400 from Interstate 285 southward to Interstate 85. As part of this extension, the Highway Division plans construction of a bridge crossing Nancy Creek near Atlanta, Georgia. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Highway Division, determined the flood flow characteristics of Nancy Creek

Hydrogeologic data from a study of the freshwater zone/salinewater zone interface in the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio region, Texas
The highly productive freshwater zone of the Edwards aquifer in the San Antonio region (fig. 1) is the sole-source water supply for more than 1 million people. A transitional interface exists between the freshwater zone and the downdip, salinewater zone. A 1,000 mg/L (milligrams per liter) dissolved solids-concentration contour defines an arbitrary boundary -between the freshwater zone and the sal

Ground-water levels in the lower Paleozoic and Precambrian crystalline rocks, southeastern Chester County, Pennsylvania, July and August 1986
A water table contour map of the lower Paleozoic and Precambrian crystalline rocks of southeastern Chester County, Pennsylvania was constructed on the basis of water levels measured in 261 wells in July and August 1986, elevations of 11 springs that were flowing in July and August 1986, and water levels measured in 15 wells. Pre-1986 measurements were incorporated on the map to provide control in

Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan aquifer in Florida and in parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, May 1985
A map, constructed as a part of the Floridan Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA), shows the potentiometric surface of the Upper Floridan aquifer for May 1985. It is based on measurements of water level or artesian pressure made in about 2 ,500 wells during the period May 13 to 24, 1985. Only measurements from tightly cased wells open exclusively to the Upper Floridan aquifer were used to make

Water-table contours and depth to water in the southeastern part of the Sweetwater River basin, central Wyoming, 1982
This map describes the southeastern part of the Sweetwater River basin; the major aquifer consists of the upper part of the White River formations, all of Tertiary age, and to a small extent, the alluvium of the Quaternary age along the Sweetwater River. The saturated thickness of the aquifer in most of the area, but not including the alluvium ranges from 500 to 3000 ft. The maximum saturated thic

Hydrogeologic and water-quality characteristics of glacial-drift aquifers in Minnesota
Water in Minnesota 's glacial drift aquifers generally is of acceptable quality for most uses, including household supply, industrial use, and irrigation. The aquifers generally contain calcium magnesium bicarbonate-type waters, but other types are present also.
Calcium magnesium sulfate-type waters are common in the confined drift aquifers in the southwestern and northwestern parts of the State.

Percentage change in saturated thickness of the High Plains aquifer, west-central Kansas, 1950 to average 1985-87
Continuing studies are being made in west-central Kansas to provide up-to-date information that will aid in the management of groundwater for irrigation. This report, prepared by the U.S> Geological Survey in cooperation with the Western Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 1, presents the results of the seventh in a series of studies that uses a statistical technique, called kriging, to pr
