These units include bedrock and the various unconsolidated deposits that mantle the bedrock surface discontinuously throughout the area. \r\n\r\nThe bedrock formations, consisting of igneous and metamorphic rocks, chiefly of Paleozoic age, form a single water-bearing unit. Ground water is in joints and fractures. The fractures are small and scattered and therefore impart only a low permeability to the rocks. Wells in the bedrock commonly produce small but reliable supplies of ground water at depths of less than 150 feet. The yields of about 80 wells inventoried for this report ranged from 1? to 100 gpm (gallons per minute) and the median was 912 gpm. Depths ranged from 45 to 600 feet. The unconsolidated deposits consist of glacial drift of Pleistocene age; swamp deposits, alluvium, and beach deposits of Recent age; and eolian deposits of Pleistocene -and Recent age. For this report the glacial drift is divided into till, ice-contact deposits, marine deposits, and outwash and shore deposits. Glacial till forms a discontinuous blanket, commonly less than 15 but in some hills (drumlins) as much as about 200 feet thick. It has a low permeability but, because of its widespread outcrop area, it has been utilized as a source of water for numerous domestic supplies. Because most wells in till are shallow, many fail to meet modern demands during dry summers. \r\n\r\nIce-contact deposits locally form kames, kame terraces, kame plains, and ice-channel fillings throughout the area. They overlie bedrock and till and range in thickness from less than 1 foot to as much as 190 feet. In general, the ice-contact deposits are coarse textured and permeable, but variations in- the physical and hydrologic properties of a single deposit and from deposit to deposit are common. Ice-contact deposits are the source of the larger ground-water supplies in southeastern New Hampshire. \r\n\r\nMarine deposits underlie lowlands and valleys to a distance of about 20 miles inland from the present coastline. They commonly overlie bedrock and till and at places overlie or are interbedded with ice-contact deposits. Marine deposits range in thickness from less than 1 foot to possibly 75 feet. They are fine textured and impermeable; they do not yield water to wells in southeastern New Hampshire but generally act as a barrier to ground-water movement. Outwash and shore deposits form broad sand plains or gently sloping terraces of small extent. At most places the outwash and shore deposits, which range in thickness from less than 1 foot to about 50 feet, overlie marine deposits, but at some places they overlie bedrock, till, or ice-contact deposits. The outwash and shore deposits are fine textured and moderately permeable. They commonly yield enough ground water to meet the needs of farms, homes, and small industries. Alluvium underlies the flood plains and channels of the principal streams and overlies bedrock and older unconsolidated deposits wherever streams cross the older units. The alluvium generally is not tapped by wells. \r\n\r\nBeach deposits occupy areas along the Atlantic Ocean between promontories of bedrock or till. In general beach deposits are permeable and are a source of water supplies for domestic use. Yields of wells are limited, however, by the danger of drawing in salty water. \r\n\r\nRecharge in southeastern New Hampshire is derived principally from precipitation on outcrop areas of ice-contact deposits and outwash and shore deposits during the nongrowing season. Ground water is discharged naturally by springs, by effluent seepage to streams and other bodies of surface water, and by evapotranspiration.

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Santa Barbara County Water Agency, continued the study of the ground-water resources of Santa Barbara County (fig. 1) in 1963. As part of the study, the Geological Survey made monthly water-level measurements in 247 wells; 17 of which were equipped with automatic water-level recorders. These measurements and measurements made by the Santa Maria Valley Water Conservation District are included in this report— In addition, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation measured the water levels in wells along the Santa Ynez River between Cachuma Dam and Rucker Crossing, but the measurements have not been included herein.

In addition to the observation-well program, the Geological Survey is preparing interpretive reports on the ground-water conditions in the Ellwood-Gaviota area, the Lompoc and Santa Ynez upland areas of the Santa Ynez River basin, the Santa Barbara-Summerland area, and the Santa Maria Valley. The basic data from which these reports are being prepared can be consulted at the Santa Barbara office of the Geological Survey.

This report was prepared by the Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, under the general supervision of Fred Kunkel, district geologist in charge of ground-water investigations In California, and under the immediate supervision of C. P. Zones, geologist in charge of the Santa Barbara subdistrict office.

Measurements for the period 1941-55 were published in U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers; measurements for the period 1956-62 were released locally in duplicated form.' A report by G. A. LaRocque, Jr., and others (1950) contains descriptions of 2,246 wells in the ground-water basins of the county in 1942. It also contains many water-level measurements made before 1942 by the city of Santa Barbara, the Santa Maria Valley Water Conservation District, the San Joaquin Power Division of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co., the Union Sugar Co., the Union Oil Co., and other organizations and individuals.

Comprehensive reports on the geology and ground-water resources of the Santa Ynez River basin (Upson, Thomasson, and others, 1951; Wilson, 1959), the south-coast basins (Upson and others, 1951), the Santa Maria Valley area (Worts, 1951), the Cuyama Valley (Upson and Worts, 1951) and the San Antonio Creek valley (Muir; 1964) were published as Geological Survey water-supply papers. A report on stream runoff and ground-water storage capacity of the Santa Ynez River valley (Troxell and Wilson, 1952) was released to the open file in October 1952. A complete bibliography of reports of investigations made by the Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, in Santa Barbara County since 1940 is included in this report.

The report contains information about the occurrence, quality, and use of ground water in the Lower Rio Grande Valley area which consists of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy Counties in southern Texas.

\n

The principal use of water in the area is for irrigation. The principal irrigated crops are cotton, winter vegetables, and citrus fruits. In southeastern Starr County, southern Hidalgo County, and western Cameron County, the main source of water is the Rio Grande. The greatest development of ground water in this area was after 1948 when ground water was needed to supplement water from the river.

\n

The Lower Rio Grande Valley area has four major ground-water reservoirs. Because of the uncertainty in mapping the stratigraphic units and because some of the ground-water reservoirs are composed of parts of two or more formations, three of the ground-water reservoirs have been given names in this report. The major ground-water reservoirs are: the Oakville sandstone, an important source of water for industrial use in northeastern Stair County; the Linn-Faysville ground-water reservoir, which supplies irrigation water in the Linn-Faysville area in central Hidalgo County; and the Rio Grande ground-water reservoir and the Mercedes-Sebastian shallow ground-water reservoir, both of which supply considerable irrigation water in southeastern Starr, southern Hidalgo, western Cameron, and southwestern Willacy Counties.

\n

The quality of water differs considerably from place to place in the Lower Rio Grande Valley area. In most of the area, water is available that can be used for domestic or public supply, but it generally is slightly saline. In most of the area, the ground water is unsuitable for irrigation .particularly if used exclusively. Water of the best quality in the area is from the Rio Grande groundwater reservoir near the Rio Grande at depths of less than 75 feet in southeastern Stair County, between 50 and 250 feet in southern Hidalgo County, and between 100 and 300 feet in western Cameron County. At progressively greater distances from the Rio Grande, the ground water at these depths tends to be more mineralized. Also at some places at depths greater than those indicated, the water tends to be more mineralized. In the Linn-Faysville area the ground water from the Linn-Faysville ground-water reservoir is moderately mineralized and ranges from fair to unsuitable for irrigation.

\n

In western Cameron County, water levels in some wells tapping the Rio Grande ground-water reservoir declined about 10 feet from 1954 to 1957. In 1959 the water levels stood higher than in 1954. The water levels in most wells tapping the Linn-Faysville ground-water reservoir declined 10 feet or more from 1948 to 1958. In some wells the decline was more than 15 feet.

\n

The available information indicates that in some localities the Rio Grande ground-water reservoir may be nearly filled to capacity, and waterlogging will occur during periods of above-normal precipitation. During protracted periods of below-normal precipitation, the available water in the ground-water reservoir may be depleted.

\n

Further studies should be made in the area to correct important deficiencies in available information. A continuing program is recommended because information such as fluctuations in water levels and the amount and distribution of pumping can be obtained only on a current basis.

aquifer of central Israel, its development and possible use as a storage reservoir","docAbstract":"The Cenomanian-Turonian formations constitute a highly permeable dolomite and limestone aquifer in central Israel. The aquifer is on the west limb of an anticlinorium that trends north-northeast. In places it may be as much as 800 meters thick, but in the report area, largely the foothills of the Judean-Ephraim Mountains where the water development is most intensive, its thickness is generally considerably less. In some places the aquifer occurs at or near the land surface, or it is covered by sandy and gravelly coastal-plain deposits. However, in a large part of the area, it is overlain by as much as 400 meters of relatively impermeable strata, and it is probably underlain by less permeable Lower Cretaceous strata. \n\nIn general the aquifer water is under artesian pressure. The porosity of the aquifer is characterized mainly by solution channels and cavities produced by jointing and faulting. In addition to the generally high permeability of the aquifer, some regions, which probably coincide with ancient drainage patterns and (or) fault zones, have exceptionally high permeabilities. \n\nThe source of most of the water in the aquifer is believed to be rain that falls on the foothills area. The westward movement of ground water from the mountainous outcrop areas appears to be impeded by a zone of low permeability which is related to structural and stratigraphic conditions along the western side of the mountains. \n\nGradients of the piezometric surface are small, and the net direction of water movement is westward and northwestward under natural conditions. Locally, however, the flow pattern may be in other directions owing to spatial variations in permeability in the aquifer, the location of natural discharge outlets, and the relation of the aquifer to adjacent geologic formations. There probably is also a large vertical component of flow. \n\nPumping has modified the flow pattern by producing several irregularly shaped shallow depressions in the piezometric surface although, to date, no unwatering of the aquifer has occurred. In the central part of the area, pumping has induced some infiltration from overlying coastal-plain formations. \n\nInjecting and storing surplus water seasonally in the aquifer should be feasible at almost any place. However, the movement and recovery of the injected water probably could be controlled most easily if the water were injected where depressions have been formed in the piezometric surface.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1608F","usgsCitation":"Schneider, R., 1964, Cenomanian-Turonian aquifer of central Israel, its development and possible use as a storage reservoir: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1608, iii, 20 p. :ill. ;24 cm. + plates folded in pocket., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1608F.","productDescription":"iii, 20 p. :ill. ;24 cm. + plates folded in pocket.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":138224,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1608f/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":28995,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1608f/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":276493,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1608f/plate-2.pdf"},{"id":276494,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1608f/plate-3.pdf"},{"id":276492,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1608f/plate-1.pdf"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e5e4b07f02db5e6f54","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schneider, Robert","contributorId":102460,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schneider","given":"Robert","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":145569,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":1232,"text":"wsp1752 - 1964 - Ground-water resources of north-central Connecticut","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:05:18","indexId":"wsp1752","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1964","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":"1752","title":"Ground-water resources of north-central Connecticut","docAbstract":"The term 'north-central Connecticut' in this report refers to an area of about 640 square miles within the central lowland of the Connecticut River basin north of Middletown. The area is mostly a broad valley floor underlain by unconsolidated deposits of Pleistocene and Recent age which mantle an erosional surface formed on consolidated rocks of pre-Triassic and Triassic age. The mean annual precipitation at Hartford, near the center of the area, is 42.83 inches and is uniformly distributed throughout the year. The average annual streamflow from the area is about 22 inches or about half the precipitation. The consolidated water-bearing formations are crystalline rocks of pre-Triassic age and sedimentary and igneous rocks of the Newark group of Triassic age. \r\n\r\nThe crystalline rocks include the Middletown gneiss, the Maromas granite gneiss, the Glastonbury granite-gneiss of Rice and Gregory (1906), and the Bolton schist which form the basement complex and the Eastern Upland of north-central Connecticut. Enough water for domestic, stock, and small commercial use generally can be obtained from the crystalline rocks. Recoverable ground water occurs in the interconnected joints and fracture zones and is yielded in amounts ranging from 29 to 35 gpm (gallons per minute) to wells ranging in depth from 29 to 550 feet. \r\n\r\nThe sedimentary rocks of Triassic age underlie all the Connecticut River Lowland and are predominantly arkosic sandstone and shale. Water supplies sufficient for domestic, stock, and small commercial use can be obtained from shallow wells penetrating these rocks, and larger supplies sufficient for industries and smaller municipalities can probably be obtained from deeper wells. \r\n\r\nReported yields range from ? to 578 gpm; the larger yields are generally obtained from wells between 300 and 600 feet in depth. Yields are larger where the overlying material is sand and gravel or where the rocks are well fractured. The igneous rocks of Triassic age are basalt and have water-bearing characteristics similar to the crystalline rocks. \r\n\r\nThe unconsolidated deposits comprise ground-moraine and drumlin deposits, ice-contact deposits, outwash-plain and valley-train deposits, and glaciolacustrine and associated delta deposits of Pleistocene age, as well as dune deposits, good-plain deposits, and swamp deposits of Recent age. Ground-moraine deposits occur throughout the area but yield only small quantities of water. \r\n\r\nThe ice-contact deposits consisting mostly of sand and gravel form kames, kame terraces, and crevasse fillings and are the surface deposits in three extensive areas along the eastern margin of the Connecticut River Lowland. The deposits in most places are saturated and, where they consist of well-sorted material, are highly permeable, yielding as much as 750 gpm to properly constructed wells. \r\n\r\nOutwash-plain and valley-train deposits and bodies of undifferentiated outwash underlie the surface in the eastern and southern parts of the area. These deposits consist of well-sorted sand and silt and some pebble gravel ranging in thickness from nearly zero to more than 225 feet in places. The thicker deposits are an important source of moderate supplies of ground water. Screened wells of moderate depth commonly yield about 150 gpm, but some yield as much as 400 gpm. Bodies of buried outwash deposits of irregular size and shape occur in the bottoms of some of the filled bedrock valleys. They seldom are more than 20-30 feet thick. Their permeability Is generally low because of the high percentage of silt; yields as much as 30 gpm to domestic wells are reported. Under most favorable conditions, these deposits yield as much as 500 gpm. The glaciolacustrine and associated delta deposits occur in nearly all parts of north-central Connecticut and are potential sources of moderate supplies of ground water. They consist of well-sorted sand which generally grades downward into varved clay and silt. The deposits of sand are thic","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U. S. Govt. Print.

A knowledge of turbulence characteristics is therefore essential in predicting the dispersal rates of contaminants in streams. In this study the theory of diffusion by continuous movements for homogeneous turbulence is applied to lateral diffusion at the surface of an open channel in which there is uniform flow. An exploratory-laboratory investigation was conducted in which the lateral dispersion at the water surface of a sand-Led flume was studied by measuring the lateral spread from a point source of small floating polyethylene articles. The experiment was restricted to a single set of low and channel geometry conditions. \r\n\r\nThe results of the study indicate that with certain restrictions lateral dispersion in alluvial channels may be successfully described by the theory of diffusion by continuous movements. The experiment demonstrates a means for evaluating the lateral diffusion coefficient and also methods for quantitatively estimating fundamental turbulence properties, such as the intensity and the Lagrangian integral scale of turbulence in an alluvial channel. \r\n\r\nThe experimental results show that with increasing distance from the source the coefficient of lateral turbulent diffusion increases initially but tends toward a constant limiting value. This result is in accordance with turbulent diffusion theory. Indications are that the distance downstream from the source required for the diffusion coefficient to reach its limiting value is actually very small when compared to the length scale of most diffusion phenomena in natural streams which are of practical interest.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir484","usgsCitation":"Sayre, W., and Chamberlain, A., 1964, Exploratory laboratory study of lateral turbulent diffusion at the surface of an alluvial channel: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 484, iv, 18 p. :illus. ;27cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir484.","productDescription":"iv, 18 p. :illus. ;27cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":30496,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0484/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":124792,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0484/report-thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a13e4b07f02db60238e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Sayre, William W.","contributorId":93894,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sayre","given":"William W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147017,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Chamberlain, A.R.","contributorId":11597,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chamberlain","given":"A.R.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147016,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":3152,"text":"wsp1652A - 1964 - Floods of January-February 1957 in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas","interactions":[{"subject":{"id":17115,"text":"ofr57111 - 1957 - Floods of January-February 1957 in southwestern Virginia","indexId":"ofr57111","publicationYear":"1957","noYear":false,"title":"Floods of January-February 1957 in southwestern Virginia"},"predicate":"SUPERSEDED_BY","object":{"id":3152,"text":"wsp1652A - 1964 - Floods of January-February 1957 in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas","indexId":"wsp1652A","publicationYear":"1964","noYear":false,"chapter":"A","title":"Floods of January-February 1957 in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas"},"id":1}],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:05:27","indexId":"wsp1652A","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1964","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":"1652","chapter":"A","title":"Floods of January-February 1957 in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas","docAbstract":"Heavy rains over an extensive area on January 27-February 2, caused extreme flooding in southeastern Kentucky and adjacent areas in West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee.

Mex., near the Zuni Mountains, a huge sandstone bluff rises abruptly 200 feet above the plain. The Spaniards called it 'El Morro,' which means 'the headland' or 'bluff.' Around it are other mesas and canyons and stands of pinon and ponderosa pine. Other great rocks are nearby, but none are as popular as El Morro, and none have been as important to the traveler.\r\n\r\nFor at El Morro there is water.\r\n\r\nIn that country, water is scarce and precious. In the old days, travelers from Santa Fe would tell each other about the pool of clear, refreshing water at the base of the huge rock. This is the story of the great bluff, its water supply, and the rocks around it.\r\n\r\nIn the late summer of 1849, an American lieutenant of the Topographical Engineers, James H. Simpson, accompanied infantry and artillery troops on a reconnaissance march from Santa Fe into the Navajo Country. On September 18, at the urging of one Mr. Lewis, an Indian trader, Lieutenant Simpson left the main party in order to see 'half an acre of inscriptions' upon a huge rock (fig. 1) . Although somewhat dubious, the Lieutenant had allowed himself to be persuaded by Lewis that the trip was worthwhile. Taking with him an artist named R. H. Kern, another man by the name of Bird, and Mr. Lewis as guide, he set off through miles of desert country, filled with huge red and white sandstone rocks, 'some of them looking like steamboats, and others presenting very much the appearance of facades of heavy Egyptian architecture'.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1766","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the National Park Service","usgsCitation":"West, S.W., and Baldwin, H.L., 1964, The Water Supply of El Morro National Monument: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1766, v, 32 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1766.","productDescription":"v, 32 p.","costCenters":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":139424,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1766/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":12460,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/elmo/index.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":29919,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1766/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab0e4b07f02db66d55d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"West, Samuel Wilson","contributorId":24763,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"West","given":"Samuel","email":"","middleInitial":"Wilson","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":146222,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Baldwin, Helene Louise","contributorId":33703,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baldwin","given":"Helene","email":"","middleInitial":"Louise","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":146223,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":3044,"text":"wsp1779J -
