Because many of them contain ponds or marshes, they are important in the production of livestock and waterfowl. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the amount of water that accumulates in and is used in the potholes in their natural environment.
Two study areas were selected in North Dakota, and construction of gaging facilities was completed in 1960. Each study area contains four potholes. Three of the potholes for each area contain dense growths of aquatic vegetation, and one is clear of aquatic vegetation. The instruments to provide the basic data for computing water losses include: water-stage recorder, water-temperature recorder, rain gage, anemometer, and hygrothermograph. Observations will also be made of ground-water levels, rate of growth and type of vegetation, and quality of water.

This research is being carried out under the Branch of Astrogeology. The long-range objectives of this program are to determine and map the stratigraphy and structure of the Moon's crust, to develop basic information on processes that have led to the present condition of the Moon's surface, and to work out the sequence of events in the geologic history recorded in the Moon's stratigraphy and structure. The work includes three closely interrelated areas of study: (1) investigation of the chemistry, petrography, and physical properties of extraterrestrial materials that may have been derived from the Moon, such as tektites, certain types of meteorites, and extraterrestrial dust; (2) experimental and field investigations of the mechanics and phenomena of impact of high-speed objects and of cratering; and (3) geologic mapping of the Moon.
Immediate objectives for the fiscal year 1961 have included the preparation of geologic maps for the nominal target area for the Ranger Project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Field and laboratory work on craters was directed toward developing data and an adequate theory for the integrated effect of meteoroid bombardment of the lunar surface. Special attention has been given to phase changes and solid state changes produced in rock by meteorite impact. American and Philippine tektites were the principal materials of possible lunar origin to receive detailed petrographic and chemical analysis.

From 1954-57 uranium and radium concentrations were determined in 561 samples, mainly of ground water, having wide geologic and geographic distribution. These concentrations, together with data on the hydrologic and geologic environment, the beta-gamma activity, and the chemical characteristics of each sample, are tabulated by States.
The conterminous United States was subdivided into 10 geotectonic regions to facilitate statistical interpretation of the occurrence of uranium and radium in fresh water in approximately homogeneous geologic provinces. For each geotectonic region, the range and median were determined for the concentrations of radium and uranium; for regions from which sufficient data were available, log-normal frequency distribution curves were calculated and superimposed on histograms of radium and uranium concentrations in the samples. An \"anomaly threshold\" is suggested for both radioelements for each region analyzed statistically. The western stable region had the greatest median and highest \"anomaly threshold\" for uranium. This region also had the highest \"anomaly threshold\" for radium, but the largest median for radium was found for samples collected in the Ozark-Ouachita system. The median concentration for uranium was lowest for the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain and the Pacific orogenic belt. This latter region also had the lowest median-radium content.

In regions where precipitation comes chiefly from a single source, as in California and the Great Plains, prevailingly dry periods have alternated with wetter periods, each lasting 10 to 15 years. In the intervening area that includes the basins of the Colorado River and Rio Grande and numerous basins of interior drainage, a deficiency from one source may be ameliorated in some localities by precipitation from another source; in other areas all sources have failed and the drought has continued for a quarter of a century. Earlier droughts of similar duration, and some of longer period, are indicated by historic records and by studies of tree rings, lake levels, and archeologic data.

The objective of this study is to delineate and interpret gravity anomalies and regional trends so that the configuration and depth of the buried erosional surface of the Paleozoic rocks may be determined. This buried surface is of utmost importance in understanding the geologic history of the Nevada Test Site region, the thickness and distribution of the overlying volcanic rocks and alluvium, and the movement of ground water. The Paleozoic rocks cause positive gravity anomalies where they outcrop or occur near the surface and negative anomalies where they are buried in valleys or capped by low-density Tertiary volcanic rocks.
Gravity trends which extend over the entire area provide a basis for computing the regional gravity gradient. The regional gravity gradient must be removed from the data for geologic interpretation of the paleotopographic surface in any limited area.
Knowledge of the thickness of low-density material overlying the paleotopographic surface is useful in several ways. Proposed underground test sites, such as drill holes and tunnels, may be evaluated in terms of rock unit thickness and alluvial cover requirements. Recent work by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey has demonstrated ground-water movement through the Paleozoic rocks in the vicinity of the Nevada Test Site. Therefore, knowledge of the position of buried Paleozoic rocks is important in evaluating (a) the rate and direction of flow of the ground water, (b) ground-water supplies for domestic and industrial uses, and (c) the possibility of radioactive contamination of ground water. Finally, regional gravity trends and paleotopography are useful in working out the structural history of the area in connection with geologic studies now in progress.
The purpose of this interim report is to present the major part of the gravity data obtained as of December 31, 1961. The data are presented as a complete Bouguer gravity anomaly map. Although the gravity contours are somewhat generalized because the map has a scale of 1:250,000 and a contour interval of 5 milligals, the largest anomalies are adequately delineated.
Preliminary results of this gravity survey have been reported by Wilmarth and others, 1960, and by Diment and others, 1959 and 1960.

The scope of the compilation is to describe systematically, in a form agreed upon by the California Department of Water Resources and the Geological Survey, the (1) test location, (2) pumping data, (3) well data, and (4) summary of results. The results of these tests sometimes have been published but most frequently have been used only as a step in obtaining other information, consequently the results and even the location of aquifer tests have not been readily available.

\nThe temperature of the water discharged from large installations that induce river infiltration through alluvial deposits depends primarily on the following factors: (a) the porosity of the aquifer, (b) the specific heat of the rocks or mineral grains making it up, (c) the temperature of the ground water in storage, (d) the temperature of the river water, and (e) the amount of mixing that occurs as a result of pumping. In six installations of this type, where the annual rivertemperature fluctuations ranged from 44° to 52°F, the average range in groundwater temperature was 22 °F. The cycles of ground-water temperature lagged behind the river-temperature cycles by 1 to 51/2 months. Under the conditions that existed, the lag of the minima of the cycles was much greater than that of the maxima, largely because of variations in pumpage and of the effect of viscosity differences on the rate of flow.
\nAn experimental study was made at Worthington in southwestern Minnesota to determine whether temperature fluctuations could be used to study rates and directions of ground-water movement or to evaluate recharge conditions. Three shallow glacial-outwash aquifers were studied by measuring temperatures at approximately monthly intervals in three municipal-supply wells whose average yields were about 60 to 150 gpm (gallons per minute). Temperatures were read with an accuracy of 0.01° to 0.02°C, and the data were analyzed graphically and correlated in detail with lake levels, lake temperatures, precipitation, and groundwater levels.
\nThermographs for 2 wells, 1 completed in a semiconfined aquifer about 200 feet from Okabena Lake and the other in a water-table aquifer about 850 feet from the lake, indicate that pumping induces water to move from the lake into the aquifers. A larger percentage of cold lake water was mixed with ground water from January to March 1958 than from January to March 1959. On the assumption that the cold or warm lake water was a distinct mass, the average time required for water to move from the lake to the well 200 feet away, under the prevailing hydraulic gradient, was 2 to 4 months; and to the well 850 feet away, 5 to 7 months.
\nThe thermograph for a well 1,800 feet from the lake, completed in an artesian aquifer that is confined by relatively impervious glacial till, indicates that the till acts as an insulating medium. However, despite the apparently low permeability of the till, the thermograph suggests that the lowering of artesian pressure, which results from pumping, induces warmer water to move downward through the till.
\nThe infiltration of relatively warm spring and summer rainfall can be detected on the thermographs of all the wells.
\nThe precise measurement of fluctuations in ground-water temperature, based on monthly readings in shallow glacial-outwash aquifers (up to about 70 feet deep), is useful in the study of ground-water movement and recharge. In addition to the study of natural phenomena in the hydrologic cycle, thermometry may be used as a tool in making detailed studies of (1) the effects of inducing the infiltration of surface water, (2) artificial recharge, (3) the effects of injecting petroleum products or radioactive or other wastes into the ground, and (4) ground-water movement in mines.

The basin is about 40 miles long and averages about 8 miles wide. It was formed as a structural depression in which a considerable thickness of alluvial and lake deposits accumulated behind basalt flows, which at times blocked the outlet to the east. Intrusive and extrusive rocks of Cretaceous to Quarternary age enclose the basin on the north, west, and east. The enclosing rocks yield small amounts of water to springs and wells from the weathered mantle and fractures. \r\n\r\nThe principal aquifers are sand and gravel in the alluvial fill, and basalt. Water in the shallow deposits is not confined, and the water table generally is less than 10 feet below the surface at most places. Ground water in the deeper deposits occurs chiefly in two horizons that comprise the upper and lower artesian aquifers. Throughout much of the prairie, the pressure is sufficient that water will flow from wells in these aquifers. \r\n\r\nRecharge to the basin is from direct precipitation and percolation of stream runoff from the bordering mountains. Ground water moves from the higher areas at the base of the encircling mountains toward the center of the basin and the eastern outlet. The artesian aquifers leak by upward percolation through the imperfectly confining beds and help maintain the shallow water table. Basalt, which interfingers with the alluvial deposits, is an important aquifer near the southeast margin of the prairie and at the east end. Annual recharge to the artesian aquifers is estimated to be about 40,000 acre-feet. Discharge from the artesian aquifers is about equally divided between upward leakage to the shallow aquifers and underflow out of the prairie. Most of the underflow discharges into Camas Creek or Magic Reservoir east of the prairie; little of the underflow reaches the Snake River Plain. \r\n\r\nWells drilled for irrigation generally yield 500 to 1,200 gallons per minute from the artesian aquifers. Better construction and development methods would result in considerably better yields. Wells drilled in the basalt will yield 2,000 to 3,000 gallons per minute with moderate drawdowns. \r\n\r\nComputations made using aquifer coefficients, estimated on the basis of data collected during the investigation, suggest that 12,000 acre-feet of ground water might be withdrawn annually. However, the aquifers are limited in areal extent, and productivity of the alluvial aquifers is not great. Consequently heavy development would result in large drawdowns in wells, and there would be much interference between wells. The postulated large withdrawals from wells on the prairie would be supplied in part by a reduction in underflow from the prairie and in part by a decrease in leakage from the artesian aquifers, which in turn would cause a decline in the shallow water table.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Govt.

For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, under the direction of Malcolm D. Hale, district engineer, Surface Water Branch.
\nThis report marks the beginning of a new method of presenting, annually, basic data on surface-water records by States. Through September 30, 1960, the records of discharge and stage of streams and contents and stage of lakes or reservoirs were published in an annual series of U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers entitled \"Surface Water Supply of the United States.\" Since 1951 there have been 20 volumes in the series; each volume covered an area whose boundaries coincided with those of certain natural drainage areas. The records in Indiana were contained in Parts 3A, 4 and 5 of that series.
\nBeginning with the 1961 water year, streamflow records and related data will be released by the Geological Survey in annual reports on a State-boundary basis. Distribution of these basic-data reports will be limited and primarily for local needs. The records later will be published in Geological Survey water-supply papers at 5-year intervals. These 5-year water-supply papers will show daily discharge and will be compiled on the same geographical areas previously used for the annual series; however, some of the 14 parts of coterminous United States will be further subdivided.

A method for controlling fo2at high total pressures is described, and data for the 'oxygen buffers' used are given. Buffers range from quartz+iron+fayalite assemblages (low fo2) to magnetite-hematite assemblages (high fo2). Optical properties and unit-cell dimensions of synthetic annites depend on the conditions of synthesis.By recalculating published analyses of natural iron-rich biotites it can be shown that one cannot assume a constant hydrogen content for such biotites. Oxidation may have occurred by drying at 115°C. Octahedral occupancy therefore cannot be calculated from such data.Phase relations of annite are presented in 2,070 and 1,035 bar sections. Depending on fo2-T values annite was found to decompose to one of the following assemblages: hematite+ sanidine, magnetite+sanidine, fayalite+leucite+kalsilite, iron+sanidine. All decompositions are dehydration and redox reactions and are sensitive to changes in fH20 and fo2 (or fH20 and fH2). At 2, 070 bars total pressure annite+magnetite+sanidine can coexist between 425°C and 825° C, depending upon the magnitude of fo2.In the presence of quartz the stability field of annite is more restricted. Phase equilibria in the system KAlSiO4-SiO2-Fe-O2-H2 have been summarized schematically.Wherever possible, thermodynamic extrapolations are made to test the internal consistency of the data. Enthalpies of formation are calculated for both annite and phlogopite. Ranges of fo2 values in nature as well as mechanisms for changes in fo2 are investigated. It is useful to distinguish between assemblages which are internally buffered with respect to fo2changes and those which are not buffered. The applications of individual reactions involving annite to specific geologic problems are discussed with respect to igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.

In volcanic rocks, remanence is commonly south-seeking down and has an intensity approximately ten times the induced intensity of magnetization. Remanence is shown to be the dominating factor in anomalies over volcanic rocks by the agreement between the profiles of an observed anomaly over a volcanic rock body and an anomaly calculated from remanence data for the same body. In intrusive rocks, the remanence is north-seeking down and comparable in intensity to the induced intensity of magnetization. That remanence also contributes to the anomalies over some intrusive rocks is shown by the agreement between the profiles of an observed anomaly over an intrusive body and an anomaly calculated from the resultant of induced and remanent magnetizations. A consistent relationship between the axis of the anomaly, or direction between the anomaly high and low, and the horizontal direction of magnetization suggests that the direction of the anomaly axis can be used to indicate the horizontal direction of magnetization in this area.

Because of the ambiguity inherent in magnetic interpretation, a unique solution for the parameters involved (depth of burial, geometric configuration, and magnetic susceptibility of the mass producing the anomaly) is impossible. However, if one of the parameters is known it is sometimes possible to indicate a range of plausible values for each of the remaining parameters. The depth to the surface of the Precambrian rocks in Randolph County is known from drill-hole data to be about 3,000 ft. As the depth of burial is known, limits need be set only on the thickness, angle of dip, and susceptibility contrast of the assumed dike. These limits are determined by a graphical method. Theoretical anomalies over the postulated dike are computed for different dike thicknesses, angles of dip, and susceptibility contrasts. The computed profiles are then fitted to an observed magnetic profile flown at right angles to the trend of the feature. Numerical values for the \"goodness of fit\" are calculated by using the statistical method of sums of squares. Two plots, one of the index of goodness of fit and the other of susceptibility as functions of dip angle and dike thickness, are made to show graphically the interdependence of the variables and the plausible range of each. The contoured plots of the goodness of fit and the susceptibility contrast show that the range of best fit is between dip angles of 30 and 60 degrees and dike thickness of 1,000 to over 4,000 ft. The contoured plot of the susceptibility contrast, translated into percentage of magnetite, shows this parameter to be independent of the dip angle, varying only with thickness.
