Water-Level Measurements for the Coastal Plain Aquifers of South Carolina Prior to Development
Tabulations of water-level measurements for the Coastal Plain aquifers of
South Carolina representing water levels prior to man-made development are
presented. Included with the tabulations are local well number, location,
land-surface altitude, well depth, screened interval, depth to water, water-
level altitude, and date measured. These water-level measurements were used
in compiling r

Ground-water resources of Rusk County, Texas
Fresh to slightly saline water is available in most parts of Rusk County, which is located in the Piney Woods region of northeast Texas. The Wilcox aquifer, which underlies the entire county, was the source of most of the ground water withdrawn during 1980. Other units capable of yielding fresh ground water are the Carrizo, Queen City, and Sparta aquifers and the Reklaw Formation.
About 5.4 millio

Identification and tabulation of geological contacts in the Edwards aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
Geological contacts were picked on logs of about 480 wells in the San Antonio area of the Edwards aquifer. The base of the Del Rio Clay is the most frequently picked contact because it is the top of the Edwards aquifer and also because it is easily identified on either gamma-ray or electric logs.
Other important formation contacts identified were the Austin Group, the Eagle Ford Group, the Buda Li

Mapping of forested wetland: Use of seasat radar images to complement conventional sources
Distinguishing forested wetland from dry forest using aerial photographs has been handicapped because photographs often do not reveal the presence of water below the tree canopies. Images obtained during the summer months of 1978 by the Seasat satellite's L-band (23-cm) radar reveal forested wetland as patterns of high radar reflection in the Atlantic coastal plain between Maryland and Florida.

Proposed 10-year plan for continuation of hydrologic studies of the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio area, Texas
The importance of the Edwards aquifer as a freshwater resource and its susceptibility to being contaminated, being over utilized, or both resulted in the development of a proposed 10-year plan to monitor and study its hydrology. The plan proposes adjustments to the current monitoring activities of computing and measuring recharge, discharge, withdrawals, water levels, and water quality. To conduct

Cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Iowa
This report documents the results of a study of the cost-effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Iowa. Data uses and funding sources were identified for the 122 surface-water stations (including reservoir, lake, stage only, and miscellaneous stations) operated by the U. S. Geological Survey in Iowa. There are 110 continuous streamflow stations currently being operated in Iowa with an annual

Impact of development on availability and quality of ground water in eastern Nassau County, Florida, and southeastern Camden County, Georgia
The primary sources of water in the area are from the surficial and Floridan aquifers. The surficial aquifer, consisting of thin permeable zones of sand, shell, and limestone, provides limited water supplies (10-50 gallons per minute). Its estimated transmissivity ranges from less than 100 to 10,000 feet squared per day. Its water is generally of acceptable quality for most uses, except near the c

Maps showing ground-water units and withdrawal, Basin and Range Province, Texas
This report on ground-water units and withdrawal in the Basin and Range province of Texas (see index map) was prepared as part of a program of the U.S. Geological Survey to identify prospective regions for further study relative to isolation of high-level nuclear waste (Bedinger, Sargent, and Reed, 1984), utilizing program guidelines defined in Sargent and Bedinger (1984). Also included in this re

Floodflow characteristics of Filbin Creek at proposed interstate highway 526, North Charleston, South Carolina
A study to determine the impact of two alternative construction plans for proposed interchange between the existing Interstate Highway 26 and Interstate Highway 526 in the Filbin Creek drainage basin near North Charleston, South Carolina was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation. A computerized reservoir rou

Brief statement on the hydrology of the Sampit River area near Georgetown, South Carolina
The Carolina Refining and Distributing Company is planning to locate an oil-refining plant near Georgetown, South Carolina. To aid in the preparation of an environmental impact statement, a description of the stratigraphy, ground-water resources, and an assessment of possible seismic activity that may occur in the Winyah Bay vicinity has been prepared. Additional data will be required to quantitat
