Drainage areas of selected sites on streams in North Carolina
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.

Hydrology of area 38, Western Region, Interior Coal Province, Iowa and Missouri
A nationwide need for information characterizing hydrologic conditions in mined and potential mine areas has become paramount with the enactment of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. This report is designed to be useful to the mine owners, operators, and others by presenting information about the existing hydrologic conditions and by identifying sources of hydrologic informati

Water-quality characteristics for selected sites on the Cape Fear River, North Carolina, 1955-80: Variability, loads, and trends of selected constituents
Water-quality data for selected sites in the Cape Fear River basin collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are analyzed and interpreted in this report. Emphasis is given to the Cape Fear River at Lock 1 near Kelly, where data are most complete. Other data included in th

Water levels and salinities of water within the Evangeline Aquifer in an area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas
During 1982, about 275 wells located in a 4,680 square-mile area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas were measured to determine water-levels and specific conductance of water in the Evangeline aquifer. A large cone of depression with a maximum depth of 200 feet below NGVD of 1929 was identified near Kingsville. This cone of depression affects most of Kleburg County and parts of other counties.

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981
Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin and Houston. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas metropolitan area at the end of the 1979 water year. The study in the San Antonio area was completed at the end of the 19

Water quality of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River system, North Carolina— Variability, pollution loads, and long-term trends
Interpretation of water quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, for the Yadkin-Pee Dee River system, has identified water quality variations, characterized the current condition of the river in reference to water quality standards, estimated the degree of pollution caused by man, and evaluated long-term

Projected effects of proposed chloride-control projects on shallow ground water– Preliminary results for the Wichita River basin, Texas
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' plan to control the natural chloride pollution in the Wichita River basin includes the construction of Truscott Brine Lake on a tributary of the North Wichita River. In connection with the proposed brine lake, the U.S. Geological Survey was requested to: (1) Define the existing ground-water conditions in the shallow fresh-water system of the project area; and (2)

Effects of the drought of 1980-81 on streamflow and on ground-water levels in Georgia
The 1980-81 drought resulted in the lowest rates of streamflow since 1954 in most areas of Georgia, and the lowest since 1925 in some areas. Over most of the State, minimum average streamflows for periods of 1, 7, 30, 60, 90, and 183 consecutive days receded to low levels estimated to be reached at average intervals of 10 to 25 years. Flows in the Flint River from central to southwest Georgia rece

Structure, temperature, pressure, and salinity of Cenozoic aquifers of south Texas
A study of the hydrogeology of deep sedimentary basins using the Neogene deposits of the northern Gulf of Mexico basin as a model was initiated by the U.S. Geological Survey in the 1960's (Jones, 1969). This study led to investigations of geopressured-geothermal resources in this basin (Papadopulos and others, 1975; Wallace and others, 1979) and of the waste storage capabilities of the Wilcox Grou

Reconnaissance of ground water in vicinity of Wichita Mountains southwestern Oklahoma
Urbanization and industrial growth have increased demands on water supplies in the vicinity of the Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma. The principal city, Lawton, uses surface water, supplemented by small quantities of ground water from the Arbuckle Group (Cambrian-Ordovician), for industrial and recreational use. During periods of drought, surface-water supplies in the Wichita Mountains a

Impact of discharges from point and nonpoint sources on water quality of the upper Reedy River near Greenville, South Carolina
Impacts of discharge from nonpoint sources in the urban area of Greenville, South Carolina and from the point source, the Mauldin Road Wastewater Treatment Plant, on water quality of the Reedy River were studied from October 1979 through September 1980. Streamflow and water-quality data were collected before and during two storms. The pH and concentrations of organic nitrogen, ammonium, nitrate pl
