As a result of the Great Lakes Charter (signed by Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Quebec, and Wisconsin), the Geological Survey worked with a committee of the Council of Great Lakes Governors to document the water use data collection programs in the Basin. These programs are described for public water supply; supplies for domestic, irrigation, agricul

A digital-computer model was calibrated to simulate, in three dimensions, the ground-water flow in the principal and shallow-unconfined aquifers in Salt Lake Valley, Utah. The model can be used to predict water-level and waterbudget changes that would be caused by changes in well recharge or discharge. This report shows how a user can revise the input data so that recharging or discharging wells m

This report contains hydrologic data collected in Salt Lake Valley from October 1968 to October 1985. The report area is bounded by the Wasatch Range on the east, the Oquirrh Mountains on the west, the Traverse Mountains on the south, and the boundary between Davis and Salt Lake Counties on the north. Hely and others (1971) defined two aquifers of major importance in the valley the principal aquif

Castro and and Parmer Counties, with an estimated 700,000 acres under irrigation, are two of the leading agricultural counties in Texas. This report summarizes irrigation data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 64 randomly-selected sites as part of a study to better define the relationship between pumpage for irrigation and return flow to the High Plains aquifer from applied water (irrigat

Well-construction, geologic, and water level data from 1978 to 1985 were compiled for 163 sites near Blackfoot, Idaho. Groundwater quality data were compiled for 51 sites for the period 1961-83 and for 54 sites for the period 1984-85. Data were collected in support of the hydrologic and water quality components of the U.S. Geological Survey 's groundwater contamination investigation near Blackfoot

The theory of anisotropic aquifer hydraulic properties and a computer program, written in Fortran 77, developed to compute the components of the anisotropic transmissivity tensor of two-dimensional groundwater flow are described. To determine the tensor components using one pumping well and three observation wells, the type-curve and straight-line approximation methods are developed. These methods

Hydro!ogic investigations of urban watersheds in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. Studies are now in progress in the Austin and Houston areas, and have been completed in the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio areas. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Houston, began studies in the Houston metropolitan area in 1964. The program was expanded in 1968 to i

Water-resources activities in the Minnesota District included 26 projects in 1985. The report describes the projects which were funded by 9 local and 6 State agencies, by the U.S. Geological Survey, and by 10 other Federal agencies.

Record flood-peak discharges occurred in June and July, 1982, in southwestern, south-central, and east-central Iowa. The record flood peaks resulted from rainfalls of 6 to 8 inches on soil saturated from persistent moderate to heavy rainfalls that began in May and continued through mid July. May was the wettest across Iowa since 1959, averaging just over 7 inches statewide to rank as Iowa's 6th we
