The surface of the area is nearly flat to gently rolling, and slopes to the west. Lake Channel, an abandoned channel of the Snake River, and a few volcanic cones modify the gentle relief. The climate is semiarid, the annual precipitation ranging from 10 to 15 inches. Most of the area is uncultivated and covered with sagebrush, the predominate vegetation. A significant amount of the area is dry farmed; about 500 to 650 acres is irrigated with ground water pumped from wells or from ponds in Lake Channel. The Bonanza area and vicinity are underlin by windblown deposits of Recent age (not shown on the geologic map); alluvium with admixed windblown material and black basalt, both also of Recent age; undifferentiated Snake River basalt, of Pliocene to Recent age; the American Falls lake beds and Cedar Butte basalt, or Pleistocene age; of the Raft Lake beds and Massacre volcanic and associated rocks, of Pliocene(?) age. The alluvium contains ground water at shallow depth, but because of its limited areal extent it is not an important aquifer, The Snake River basalt is the most important aquifer in the area and yields water to irrigation, domestic, and stock wells. Several springs discharge from the basalt into Lake Walcott. The Cedar Butte basalt is a major aquifer supplying water to a number of stock and domestic wells and to Bonanza Lake. Ground water moves southward and southwestward through the area from the Aberseen-Springfield tract on the northeast and possibly from the downstream end of American Falls Reservoir. Part of the ground water is discharged to the Snake River and Lake Walcott and part moves westward out of the area of the main ground-water body. The amount of ground water can not be determined from the data bow available. Data from dam-site borings and wells suggest the possibility that a part of the ground water in the area may be perched above the regional water table.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr5867","collaboration":"Prepared for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation","usgsCitation":"Meisler, H., 1958, Preliminary report on ground water in the Bonanza Lake area, Power and Blaine counties, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 58-67, Report: ii, 32 p.; 1 Plate: 48.05 x 28.87 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr5867.","productDescription":"Report: ii, 32 p.; 1 Plate: 48.05 x 28.87 inches","numberOfPages":"36","costCenters":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":180838,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1958/0067/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":275858,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1958/0067/report.pdf"},{"id":275859,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1958/0067/plate-1.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","city":"Blaine County;Power County","otherGeospatial":"Bonanza Lake","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -114.9967,41.9948 ], [ -114.9967,43.9934 ], [ -111.9136,43.9934 ], [ -111.9136,41.9948 ], [ -114.9967,41.9948 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4aafe4b07f02db66caa0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Meisler, Harold","contributorId":34103,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Meisler","given":"Harold","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":254793,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":1241,"text":"wsp1370B - 1958 - Floods of October 1954 in the Chicago area, Illinois and Indiana","interactions":[{"subject":{"id":51902,"text":"ofr5634 - 1956 - Floods of October 1954 in the Chicago area, Illinois and Indiana","indexId":"ofr5634","publicationYear":"1956","noYear":false,"title":"Floods of October 1954 in the Chicago area, Illinois and Indiana"},"predicate":"SUPERSEDED_BY","object":{"id":1241,"text":"wsp1370B - 1958 - Floods of October 1954 in the Chicago area, Illinois and Indiana","indexId":"wsp1370B","publicationYear":"1958","noYear":false,"chapter":"B","title":"Floods of October 1954 in the Chicago area, Illinois and Indiana"},"id":1}],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:05:18","indexId":"wsp1370B","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1958","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":341,"text":"Water Supply Paper","code":"WSP","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"1370","chapter":"B","title":"Floods of October 1954 in the Chicago area, Illinois and Indiana","docAbstract":"The floods of October 9-11, 1954 in the Chicago area of Illinois and Indiana were the greatest in the history of the region. The 24-hour rainfall of 5.63 inches on October 9-10 and the 48-hour total rainfall of 6.72 inches were the greatest recorded at the Chicago Weather Bureau station in 69 and 84 years respectively. Unofficial measurements in the southern suburbs of the city indicate that nearly 11 inches of rain fell in 48 hours. \r\n\r\nThese intense rainfalls on the flat areas of the Little Calumet, Kankakee, and Chicago Rivers caused the streams to overflow their banks flooding heavily industrialized and densely populated parts of the city. Slow drainage of flood waters in large areas along these rivers resulted in a prolonged period of inundation. On the Kankakee River at Shelby, Ind., the crest of the flood occurred 17 days after the rain. \r\n\r\nThe flow of South Branch Chicago River has been diverted by locks into the Des Plaines River since 1900. The elevation at the mouth of the South Branch is held usually about 3 feet below lake level. During the flood the river rose about 3.4 feet above lake level. To relieve flooding, the lock gates were opened allowing the river to discharge into the lake for the first time in 54 years. \r\n\r\nNotable rates of discharge occurred in the Des Plaines River basin, where Long Run had a unit discharge of 152 cfs per square mile from a drainage area of 20.8 square miles, and Flag Creek had 80.2 cfs per square mile from a drainage area of 16. 2 square miles. \r\n\r\nFlood damages in Chicago and its suburbs have been estimated by the U. S. Weather \r\nBureau to be about $25 million. \r\n\r\nIncluded herein, for the Chicago area in Illinois and Indiana are general descriptions of the floods, an isohyetal map showing the amounts and areal distribution of the storm rainfall, detailed stage and discharge data at 49 gaging stations, peak discharges at 4 miscellaneous sites, and water-surface elevations at 1 lake site.

The manganese deposits of Busuanga Island, Palawan, are tabular and broadly lenticular bodies which lie conformably within a thick sequence of deformed abort beds. The purpose of this study is to determine the probable mode of origin of the deposits. Similar deposits in other parts of the world have been described by others as products of several different genetic processes.

Field and laboratory methods of research were employed in the course of the investigation. Detailed geologic mapping was done on the surface and underground, and many samples of rocks and ores were obtained. Later, intensive study of samples from four typical deposits and from the rooks in the surrounding areas was undertaken, using a variety of laboratory techniques. Microscopic study of thin sections and polished surfaces was supplemented by X-ray and chemical work. More than one hundred X-ray diffraction powder photographs were made to identify minerals, and qualitative chemical studies were made of a number of aamples by use of the X-ray spectrograph. In addition, quantitative chemical analyses were made of certain samples. Finally, published accounts of the occurrence and geological behavior of manganese and silica were consulted to aid in interpretation of the data at hand.

Oherty layers in the manganese deposits are lithologically similar to the chart wallrooks and country rook beds. Radiolarian fossils are common in the chart and are also found in some ore specimens. Manganese content of the wallrocks and the country rock beds, however, in essentially nil.

The manganese deposits contain mostly psilomelane-type oxides in their near-surface parts, and in the deepest mines this ore grades downward into siliceous protore. In three of the deposits studied, the protore consists mainly of braanite and quartz; in the fourth deposit, hausmannite and the silicate alleghatvite make up the milk of the protore. Some of the protoro is massive, but cherty stones are commonly well layered parallel to the wall rock structure. Grain size is very small, but, like the silica in the chert beds, becomes relatively coarse where the rocks are much deformed. No evidence of large-scale replacement or cross-cutting veins is found in the protores.

It is concluded that the original manganiferous deposits were largely non-clastic or oolloidal marine sediments laid down in a reducing environment. The protorea were developed from these beds by processes of diagenesis and low-grade regional metamorphism. The protores were in turn altered to black oxide ore by near-surface agencies during the present erosion cycle. Particular interest is attached to the occurrence of alleghanyite and traces of pyroxmangite and hubnerite(?) in the protorea.

Through its Water Resources Division, the United States Geological Survey has become the major water-resources historian for the nation. The Geological Survey's collection of streamflow records in Kansas began on a very small scale in 1895 in response to some early irrigation interest, Since that time the program has grown, and we now have about 21 350 station-years of record accumulated. A station-year of record is defined as a continuous record of flow collected at a fixed point for a period of one year. Volume of data at hand, however, is not in itself an, adequate measure of its usefullness. An important element in historical streamflow data which enhances its value as a tool for the prediction of the future is the length of continuous records available in the area being studied. The records should be of sufficient length that they may be regarded as a reasonable sample of what has gone before and may be expected in the future. Table 1 gives a graphical inventory of the available streamflow records in Kansas. It shows that, in general, there is a fair coverage of stations with records of about thirty-seven years in length, This is not a long period as history goes but it does include considerable experience with floods and droughts.

Although a large quantity of data on Kansas streamflow has been accumulated, hydrologists and planning engineers find that stream flow information for many areas of the State is considerably less than adequate. The problem of obtaining adequate coverage has been given careful study by the Kansas Water Resources Board in cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey and a report entitled \"Development of A Balanced Stream-Gaging Program For Kansas\", has been published by the Board as Bulletin No. 4, That report presents an analysis of the existing stream-gaging program and recommendations for a program to meet the rapidly expanding needs for more comprehensive basic data.

The Kansas River is formed near Junction City, Kansas, by the confluence of the Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers, From that point the river flows eastward about 175 miles to Kansas City where it empties into the Missouri River. The basic history of its natural flow can be depicted in general by the records from three gaging stations. The one at Bonner Springs, about 21 miles upstream from the mouth, may be considered as representing the total outflow from the basin; the one at Ogden, about 8 miles downstream from the confluence of the Smoky Hill and Republican Rivers, may be considered as representing the combined contribution of those streams to the Kansas River flow; and the one at Topeka, being only about 16 river miles nearer to Ogden than to Bonner Springs, may be considered as representing flows at the mid-point along the river.

The streamflow is highly variable from year to year and from month to month.\r\nThe estimated total yield from the North Boggy Creek watershed of 231 square miles averages 155,000 acre-feet annually, equivalent to an average runoff depth of 12 1/2 inches. Almost a fourth of the annual volume is contributed by Chickasaw Creek basin, where about 35,000 acre-feet runs off from 46 square miles.\r\n\r\nTwo years of records show a variation in runoff for the calendar year 1957 in comparison to 1956 in a ratio of 13 to 1 for the station on North Boggy Creek and a ratio of 18 to 1 for the station on Chickasaw Creek. In a longer-term record downstream on Muddy Boggy Creek near Farris, the corresponding range was 17 to 1, while the calendar years 1945 and 1956 show a 20-fold variation in runoff.\r\n\r\nWithin a year the higher runoff tends to occur in the spring months, April to June, a 3-month period that, on the average, accounts for at least half of the annual flow. High runoff may occur during any month in the year, but in general, the streamflow is relatively small in the summer. Records for the gaging stations noted indicate that there is little or no base flow in the summer, and thus there will be periods of no flow at times in most years. The variation in runoff during a year is suggested by a frequency analysis of low flows at the reference station on Muddy Boggy Creek near Farris. Although the mean flow at that site is 955 cfs (cubic feet per second), the median daily flow is only 59 cfs and the lowest 30-day flow in a year will average less than 1 cfs in 4 out of 10 years on the average. The estimated mean flow on North Boggy Creek near Stringtown is 124 cfs, but the estimated median daily flow is only 3 1/2 cfs. Because of the high variability in streamflow, development of storage by impoundment will be necessary to attain maximum utilization of the available water supplies in this region.\r\n\r\nThe surface waters of the North Boggy Creek basin are of excellent quality, being suitable for municipal, agricultural and most industrial uses. The concentration of the dissolved mineral content is usually about 75 ppm (parts per million) and the hardness about 50 ppm.

The basic records in the basin are presented on a monthly and annual basis (through March 1958). For other sites at which discharge measurements have been made, a tabulation of observed discharge is given.

In 1951 and 1952, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a program of uranium investigations and geologic mapping in the Monument Valley area, Apache and Navajo Counties, Ariz. About 700 square miles were mapped on the Navajo Indian Reservation. A resource appraisal of the area was an inherent part of the program, and is detailed in this report.

\n

Production of vanadium and uranium is from two areas, the Monument No. 1 mine area in Navajo County, and the Monument No. 2 mine area in Apache County. In the period 1942-53 about 200,300 tons of ore was produced from these two areas. This ore yielded about 1,700,000 pounds of U3O8 and about 6,500,000 pounds of V2O5. The grade ranged from 0.15 percent U3O8 to 0.60 percent U3O8, and from 0.38 percent V2O5 to 3.02 percent V2O5. The vanadium-uranium ratio is about 4:1.

\n
\n

The ore deposits are composed principally of the hydrous calcium-uranium vanadate tyuyamunite in basal channel sediments of the Shinarump member off the Chinle formation. Four types of ore bodies are present: (1) rods, (2) tabular ore bodies, (3) corvusite-type ore bodies, and (4) rolls.

\n
\n

The reserves of uranium- and vanadium-bearing material are classed as measured, indicated, inferred, and potential. The reserves are further divided into three grade classes for material 1 foot or more thick: (1) 0.10 percent U3O8 and 1.00 percent V2O5 and above; (2) 0.05 percent U3O8 and 0.50 percent V2O5 and less than 0.10 percent U3O8 and 1.00 percent V2O5; and (3) 0.01 percent U3O8 and 0.10 percent V2O5 and less than 0.05 percent U3O8 and 0.05 percent V2O5.

\n
\n

Measured reserves as of June 1953, in the Monument Valley area, Arizona, (all in the Monument No. 2 mine) total about 36,000 tons. Indicated reserves in the first grade class amount to about 62,000 tons. In this same grade class inferred reserves total about 3,000,000 tons. In the second grade class indicated and inferred reserves amount to about 2,000,000 tons. Inferred reserves in the third grade class total about 345,000 tons of mineralized material. Potential reserves in all grade classes for the Monument Valley area amount to about 13,000,000 tons.

\n
\n

It is recommended that an extensive exploration program be carried out in the Monument Valley area, Arizona. This program would consist of two phases. The first phase would involve a geophysical survey of selected channels and would have at its principal objective the delineation of the trend, length, width, and depth of scour of the channels. The second phase would consist of a diamond-drilling program that would make use of the data secured by the geophysical survey. This drilling program would have as one of its principal objectives the determination of which channels are most likely to contain ore bodies. Once the favorable channels are discovered, the drilling program could be carried on most suitably by private operators.

Underwater investigations at Lake Mead, Chicago, Passamaquoddy Bay, and on Long Island established the characteristics of sound waves that can be used in shallow geophysical exploration by the sonar method.

At Lake Mead the sediments were for the most part clay of high water content which was easily penetrated by low-power sound at a frequency of 14.2 kilocycles. The greatest depth of penetration was 140 feet. Sound having frequencies of 50 and 80 kilocycles did not penetrate. At Chicago, sound at a frequecy of 11 kilocycles and an output power of 800 watts gave a satisfactory delineation of bedrock beneath Lake Michigan. The maximum distance to bedrock was about 135 feet. At Passamaquoddy Bay a sound frequency of 6 kilocycles and about 700 watts of output power gave much better delineation of bedrock. A frequency of 6 kilocycles at the lower output power was much better than 11 kilocycles at higher power. About 250 feet of penetration was attained. Pulsed power was used in each of these investigations. The pulse lengths were long—about 14–25 milliseconds.

Bedrock was mapped at Lake Mead, Chicago, and Passamaquoddy Bay. The methods of ordinary hydrographic surveying were used for horizontal and vertical positioning. For horizontal positions the ordinary three-point sextant-fix method was used. For vertical positioning, recording gages suitably placed and supplemented by staff gages were used. All data were tied into the third-order control net of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

In connection with a study for a proposed Midwestern waterway, the technical problem was reviewed and the techniques considerably improved. New equipment was built and evaluated on Long Island Sound. It operated with pulsed power at a frequency of 6 kilocycles, and pulse length was controlled and variable from 1 to 9 milliseconds. Output acoustic power was about 2500 watts. With the transducer in ordinary operating positions as much as 400 feet of sediment was penetrated. With the transducer placed directly on the bottom of the water in Huntington Bay about 750 feet of penetration was attained. Several innovations in sonar techniques, which are desirable for sediment exploration, and which give much more detailed information than the earlier equipment are described.

The techniques required for stratigraphic interpretation of the sound records are described briefly. A method for the determination of sound velocities is discussed. Multiple echoes and other effects complicate the interpretation of records and are explained. The problems of geological control encountered also are mentioned.

Principal problems concerning the fisheries of large reservoirs in the Southeast are: inefficient and highly selective exploitation of fish stocks, and protection and reclamation of damaged or threatened fisheries in tailwaters and tributary streams. Seven mainstream reservoirs on which data are available support an average angling pressure of 4.9 trips per acre per year and an average catch of 16 pounds of sport fish and 6 pounds of food fish. Commercial take is 7 pounds per acre. The rate of catch of sport fish, based upon tag returns, is only 3 percent. Sixteen storage reservoirs support an average angling pressure of 5.0 trips per acre per year and an average catch of 13 pounds of sport fish and 1 pound of food fish. Commercial catch is of no significance. Average rate of catch of sport fish is 17 percent of the catchable population. Fish population studies indicate that there are twice as many sport fish and four times as many food fish in mainstream than there are in storage reservoirs.

\n

Some reservoirs produce harmful effects downstream. Discharges of cold water may seriously reduce fishery values in tailwaters and downstream impoundments. Furthermore, migration of non-sport fish from reservoirs into tributary streams may reduce fishery values there.

\n

In recognition of these problems, the development and application of sound management procedures may be accomplished by controlling species composition and availability of fish through water level control, timber clearing, application of selective toxicants, commercial fishing, introduction of new fish species, and the management of tailwaters and tributaries. Extended research and interagency cooperation are necessary to properly develop and apply sound management. Promotion of angling and regulation of the fishery may best be realized by providing adequate fishing facilities, elimination of certain restricted areas, and in some cases revision of laws and regulations. Biologists must not only meet the present demands for improved sport fishing but must also balance fish yield by increasing the use of food fish by sport and commercial operations.

This report presents an analysis and evaluation of the trend of the sediment yield for the Brandywine Creek at Wilmington, Del., for the period from December 1946 to September 1955. The interest in such an analysis and evaluation stems from the efforts of the Brandywine Valley Association and others to reduce erosion and improve land use in the watershed.

\n
\n

The data used for the analysis were taken from the continuous suspended-sediment and water-discharge records of the stream at Wilmington and the precipitation records at 8 standard and 1 recording rain gages. The analysis was made on the basis of 123 storm events for this period of record using only the water and sediment discharge attributed to direct runoff. These data represent 89 percent of the total sediment discharge and 19 percent of the total water discharge.

\n
\n

The sediment load for each of the storm runoff events was correlated with storm runoff, rainfall intensity, and season to remove the effect, if ant, of the variation caused by these factors. The evaluation of the relative trend of sediment yield was made by two methods; first, the accumulative graph pr double mass curve as a graphical method, and second, the rank correlation method which results in a numerical coefficient and its significant. The graphical method of this evaluation shows an approximate 38 percent decrease in sediment yield for the period 1952 to 1955 from that for the period 1947 to 1951. The rank correlation coefficient was 0.152 for the same analysis showing a very high level (almost 99 percent) of confidence in the significance of a decreasing trend.

\n
\n

A parallel analysis to that above using \"peakedness\" instead of rainfall intensity as a measure of storm intensity was made because \"peakedness\" is easier to evaluate than rainfall intensity. The results of this analysis again indicates the probably decreasing trend of sediment yield as shown by the change in slope of the accumulative graph from 0.77 fir the 1947 to 1951 period to 1.05 for the 1952 to 1955 period or 28%, and by the rank correlation coefficient of 0.114 with a 94 percent level of confidence of a decreasing trend.

\n
\n

Appendix A of this report shows a similar analysis by usede of monthly sediment discharge and \"direct\" runoff as determined for an analyses of runoff patterns. The results indicate only a small decreasing trend, if any, in sediment yield. This is probably due to the fact that the correlations with rainfall and season for adjusting these data were rather poor--indicating bias by unknown parameters that cannot be evaluated.

\n
\n

Appendix B presents the methodology of using rank correlation to evaluate the trend of variate-values with respect to time with special reference to the trend of sediment yield from a watershed.

The mineral deposits of Central America were studied between 1942 and 1945, in cooperation with the United States Department of State and the Foreign Economic Administration. Emphasis was originally placed on the study of strategic-mineral deposits, especially of antimony, chromite, manganese, quartz, and mica, but deposits of other minerals that offered promise of significant future production were also studied. A brief appraisal of the base-metal deposits was made, and deposits of iron ore in Honduras and of lead and zinc ores in Guatemala were mapped. In addition, studies were made of the regional geology of some areas, data were collected from many sources, and a new map of the geology of Central America was compiled.

It covers about 1,950 square miles. The purposes of the study were to ascertain the characteristics, thickness, and extent of the water-bearing formations and to obtain and interpret data on the origin, quality, quantity, movement, availability, and use of ground water in the area. \r\n\r\nThe rocks exposed in the drainage basin are the Brule formation of Oligocene (Tertiary) age, the Ogallala formation of Pliocene (Tertiary) age, and alluvium of Pleistocene and Recent (Quaternary) age. The Brule formation is mainly a siltstone, which yields an average of 950 gallons per minute (gpm) to irrigation wells tapping its fractured zones or reworked material; the maximum reported discharge is 2,200 gpm. The Ogallala formation underlies most of the area. It consists of lenticular beds of clayey, silty, sandy, and gravelly materials and supplies water to all wells on the upland, including a few large-discharge wells, and to many irrigation and public-supply wells in the valley of Lodgepole Creek. The yield of irrigation wells tapping the Ogallala formation ranges from 90 to 1,600 gpm and averages about 860 gpm. The alluvium is present in the valleys of Lodgepole Creek and its tributaries and consists mainly of heterogeneous . mixtures of silt, sand, and gravel, and lenticular bodies of these materials. Between the Colorado State line and Chappell, Nebr., irrigation wells derive most of their water from the alluvium. However, between Chappell and Sidney most of the irrigation wells tap both the alluvium and permeable zones in the underlying Brule formation, and in much of the valley west of Sidney, where the water table is beneath the bottom of the alluvium, irrigation wells derive water from the underlying Brule or Ogallala formations. Irrigation wells obtaining water chiefly from the alluvium have a yield ranging from 130 to 1,200 gpm, averaging about 770 gpm. \r\n\r\nIn the Lodgepole Creek valley below Sidney the depth to water generally is less than 20 feet and, in many places, less than 10. In much of this part of the area the water table extends to the land surface or to the root zone of the vegetation, and discharge by evapotranspiration is high. In the valley of Lodgepole Creek between Sidney and the Wyoming State line, the depth to water generally ranges from less than 10 feet near the stream to more than 100 along the edge of the valley. In the upland the depth to water ranges from about 80 to about 300 feet. \r\n\r\nRecharge to the ground-water reservoir is derived chiefly from precipitation; other sources are seepage from irrigation systems and streams, and subsurface inflow of ground water. Water that infiltrates to the water table generally moves toward Lodgepole Creek in a downstream direction and is discharged into the stream through springs and seeps. However, within an area of at least 400 square miles in the northern part of the lower Lodgepole Creek drainage basin, ground water moves toward the valley of the North Platte River.\r\n\r\nWater is discharged from the ground-water reservoir into streams, by evapotranspiration, through wells, and by subsurface outflow. During the 1951-52 water year about 13,000 acre-feet of ground water left the area as streamflow. An estimated 20,000 acre-feet of water annually is discharged by the transpiration of grasses and trees growing along the creek bottom, and about 1,000 acre-feet of water leaves as subsurface outflow. \r\n\r\nDuring the period 1950-51 about 68,000 acre-feet of water was pumped from wells in the area for all uses. Of this amount; about 35,000 acre-feet in 1950 and 23,300 acre-feet in 1951 were used to irrigate about 15,560 and 15,790 acres. Nearly one-fourth of this water percolated back to the ground-water reservoir. These acreages, however, included about 2,100 acres irrigated in p","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Govt. Print.

The drainage area of a river basin is an important parameter in many engineering equations used for hydrologic design. It is not a parameter, however, that always requires precise measurement. Factors in the hydrologic cycle such as rainfall, runoff, transpiration, and infiltration cannot be measured nearly as closely as drainage area. Largely for this reason, drainage areas are often measured to varying degrees of precision depending upon the immediate need, with little thought to some other use or some other user of the figure obtained. It can readily be appreciated that this practice, continued for long by many different agencies, will result in a heterogeneous collection of drainage area figures, often discordant and of an accuracy unknown to any but those who computed them.

\n
\n

Figures of drainage area published by various Federal agencies are frequently discrepant or contradictory, giving rise to confusion in the use of drainage area data. Seeking to better this situation, the Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee (FIARBC) in November 1951 published its Bulletin No. 4, Inter-Agency Coordination of Drainage Area Data.

\n
\n

That Bulletin recommended procedures to be followed by the interested Federal agencies “for coordinating drainage area data in the interest of promoting uniformity, reducing confusion and contradiction of published figures, and improving the ready availability of drainage area data pertaining to drainage basins of the United States and its possessions.”

The Snake River Plain and tributary valleys south of the Snake River between\nTwin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho (here called the South Side area), contain about\n180,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 145,000 acres is irrigated with surface\nwater and 35,000 is irrigated wholly or partly with ground water. The area also\ncontains more than 200,000 acres of arable land that is idle or used only for grazing\nbecause it lacks irrigation water. Most of the surface-water supply is already\nused or reserved, and some land now irrigated needs supplemental water.

\n
\n

The climate of the area ranges from semiarid on the Snake River Plain to\nsubhumid on higher mountains. The average annual precipitation at lowland\nstations ranges from about 9 to 12 inches.

\n\n

The principal sources of ground water are extrusive volcanic rocks of silicic\nto intermediate composition, basalt, and sand and gravel. Ground water occurs\ncommonly under artesian conditions in the silicic to intermediate volcanic rocks\nand in sand and gravel tongues and lenses in lake beds. Basalt and alluvium\ncommonly contain unconfined water.

\n
\n

The area of this report is divided into 13 roughly defined ground-water districts,\nsome of which are further divided into subdistricts. The known geologic\nand hydrologic factors of each area are summarized and a preliminary appraisal\nis made of the ground-water resources in relation to land resources and to the\nregimen of streams. The current state of development, proposed new developments,\nand ground-water potential of each division are discussed.

\n
\n

The Dry Creek district is the most intensively irrigated area in Idaho in which\nwells furnish the water supply. Ground water occurs under both artesian and\nwater-table conditions. More than 53,000 acre-feet of ground water was pumped\nin 1954. There are large areas of undeveloped arable land in the district, but\npumping in some parts of the district currently is approaching or surpasses the\nperennial yield of the ground-water reservoirs.

\n
\n

The Golden Valley district contains considerable arable land but, owing to\nthe relatively great depth to water and the generally poor yield of wells, the\nprospects for extensive ground-water development are not promising.

\n
\n

In the Oakley district ground water is pumped from alluvium to supplement\nsurface water and to bring new land into production. The ground water will be\nfully exploited within a few years if the present rate of development by individual\nlandowners continues. The total area of nonirrigated land far exceeds the amount\nthat could be irrigated with indigenous ground water.

\n
\n

Both artesian and unconfined water occur in the Burley district. Most existing\nwells tap unconfined water in the southern part where there are still large\ntracts of idle arable land. Pumping lifts are rather high.

\n
\n

The South Walcott district contains a considerable acreage of arable land and\nis underlain by excellent aquifers. The effect that heavy pumping would have\non the flow of the Raft and Snake Rivers and on seepage from Lake Walcott is\nTaot well understood. Presumably substantial pumping would be feasible without\ndirect deleterious effects.

\n
\n

The Raft River basin, including the Elba and Almo-Yost subbasins, is the\nlargest district in the South Side area. Ground water occurs in both unconfined\nand artesian aquifers. Possibly as much as 150,000 acres of dry land is irrigable,\nbut the ground-water supply presumably is sufficient to irrigate only a few thousand\nacres in addition to the approximately 40,000 now irrigated with surface\nand ground water. Pumping of wells at some locations would deplete the base\nflow of the Raft River and would be competitive with surface-water use.

\n
\n

The United States Bureau of Reclamation has started construction of the\nMichaud Flats Irrigation Project in the Western Michaud Flats district. The\nadopted reclamation plan is to irrigate about 10,000 acres, using surface water\npumped from American Falls Reservoir and ground water pumped from wells.\nGround water in part of the district is tributary to the reservoir. Withdrawals\nof ground water will be compensated in part by the return of waste water to the\nreservoir and to the Snake River.

\n
\n

The Eastern Michaud Flats district contains more arable land and has better\naquifers than the Western Michaud Flats district, but pumping might reduce\nnoticeably the discharge of ground water to the American Falls Reservoir. The\nBureau of Indian Affairs plans to develop about 13,600 acres of Indian land with\nwater stored in Palisades and American Falls Reservoirs.

\n
\n

Virtually nothing is known about ground-water conditions in the Arbon and\nRockland Valleys and in several small areas such as the Basin district, the\nAlbion basin, and along the northern border of the Sublett Range. Preliminary\nstudies have been made in three areas, the Dry Creek, Raft River, and Western.\nMichaud Flats districts. None has been studied comprehensively. The available\ndata for each district are summarized in tabular form.

\n

Further investigations in the area are needed and should include accurate\nhydrologic mapping. Studies are needed of the sources and amounts of groundwater\nrecharge, of the effects of ground-water withdrawals on the total water\nsupply, and of numerous related problems.

This report presents the results of a study made as a part of the cooperative investigation of the ground-water resources of Washington being made by the U. S. Geological Survey and the State Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources. It describes the factors affecting the feasibility of artificially recharging the basalt aquifers in the Walla Walla area with water injected through wells. The study resulted from a request to the Department of Conservation from the city of Walla Wall, but its results will be of interest in areas of similar aquifers throughout the State.

The city of Walla Walla has been considering for several years the possibility of recharging basalt aquifers by introducing water into wells tapping those aquifers. The water-supply system of the city is easily adaptable to such a recharge program. During at least a part of the year water from Mill Creek is available for recharge. Also, one of the wells (city well 3) is only a few feet from the pipeline carrying Mill Creek water to the city's reservoir, so that installation of the required piping and metering equipment would be simple and inexpensive.

Although recharging operations and experiments have been conducted for many years in the United States and abroad, almost all have dealt with sand and gravel aquifers. At a very few places basalt aquifers have been recharged through wells, but so far as is known no controlled tests or experiments have been made to determine the effectiveness of the process and the limitations or controlling factors, in recharging basalt aquifers.

The immediate object of this report is to assemble all pertinent data and to present it in such form that it can be used effectively by officials concerned in making decisions as to the feasibility of a program of groundwater recharge using city well 3 at Walla Walla as an injection well.

One of the first requisites for intelligent planning of the utilization and control of water and for the administration of laws relating to its use, is data on the quantity, quality, and mode of occurrence of water supplies. The collections, evaluation, interpretation, and publication of such data constitute the primary function of the Water Resources Division of the United States Geological Survey. Since 1895 the Congress has made appropriations to this agency for investigations of the water resources of the Nation. In 1929 the Congress adopted the policy of dollar-for-dollar cooperation with State and local governmental agencies for water-resources investigations. The Geological Survey's Federal-State cooperative program of quality-of-water investigations in Oklahoma was started in 1944 in cooperation with the Oklahoma Planning and Resources Board. Since July of this year the program has been carried on cooperatively with the newly created Oklahoma Water Resources Board.

The Objective of the observation-well program in Nebraska is to\nprovide an evaluation of the status of the ground-water supplies.\nMany uses tor water-level data are known but not all potential uses\ncan be foreseen. Among the important uses are the following:

\n
\n

(1) To indicate the status of ground water in storage or in\ntransit and the availability or supplies.

\n
\n

(2) To show the trend of ground-water supplies and the outlook\ntor the future.

\n
\n

(3) To estimate or forecast the base flow of streams.

\n
\n

(4) To indicate areas in which the water level is approaching\ntoo close to the land surface (water-logging) or is receding toward\neconomic limits of lift or toward impairment by water of poor quality.

\n
\n

(5) To provide long-term evidence for evaluating the effectiveness\nof land-management and water-conservation programs in relation to\nwater conservation actually effected, and for use in basin or \"watershed\"\nstudies.

\n
\n

(6) To provide long-term continuous records to serve as a framework\nto which short-term records collected during intensive investigation may be related.

\n
\n

The water level in an observation well functions as a gage to\nindicate the position or the water table. The water table is defined\nas the upper surface of the zone of saturation except where that\nsurface is formed by overlying impermeable materials. The water\ntable is also the boundary between the zone of saturation and the\nzone of aeration. It is not a level surface but is a sloping surface\nthat has many irregularities, and it often conforms in a general way\nto the land surface. The irregularities are caused by several\nfactors. In places where the recharge to the ground-water reservoir\nis exceptionally large, the water table may rise to form a mound from\nwhich the water slowly spreads. Depressions or troughs in the water\ntable indicate places where the ground water is discharging, u along\nstreams that are below the normal level it the water table, or\nindicate places where water is being withdrawn by wells or vegetation.

\n
\n

The several factors that influence the water table vary in fact\nand amount from time to time because of changes in weather and the\nwater requirements or vegetation and man; thus, the water table is\nnearly always rising or falling.

\n
\n

The fluctuations or the water table are shown by the changes in\nwater levels in wells. Thus, the rate and amount of the fluctuation\nof the water table can be ascertained by observing the water levels\nin wells, and the magnitude or the several factors effecting the\nposition of the water table can be interpreted by analyzing the water-level\ndata.

\n
\n

Water-level measurements are given, in this report, in feet\nbelow the land surface at the well site. Water levels that are above\nland surface are preceded by a plus (+) sign in the tables, whereas\nthose below land surface have no sign but are understood to be minus\n(-). The words \"land-surface datum\" are abbreviated \"lsd'' in some\nplaces in tables of this report.

\n
\n

The altitude above mean sea level (msl) of the land surface at\nmany of the well sites has been determined and is included in the\ntables or this report.
