The Idri salt deposit, located 135 kilometers west of Brack in the Shatti Valley area of the Fezzan province, United Kingdom of Libya, covers an area of about 35 square Kilometers. It is connected to the newly constructed black-top Fezzan road by about 250 kilometers of secondary road. The deposit is a salt flat that lies in a closed depression. It consists of a hard crust commonly 20 to 40 cm thick overlying 40 cm of salts and wet sand above the brine.
The origin of the deposit is attributed to the percolating waters that concentrate into a brine and then by capillary action and evaporation form a crust on the surface.
Experiments with fractional crystallization by solar evaporation in the field indicated that fairly pure table salt may be obtained in the first stage of evaporation, and a product containing about 6 percent K20 equivalent may be recovered in the second stage.
Laboratory experiments indicate that by the dissolving of the natural crust and recrystallization by artificial heat a salt mixture containing about 7 to 10 percent potassium may be recovered.
No future geologic work is recommended for the area but it is suggested that the deposit may be worked on a small scale to recover a pure table salt and, if the conditions warrant, the residual brine may be further treated to recover potash as a by-product.

The papers in this chapter report on the scientific and economic results of current work by members of the Geologic, Water Resources, and Topographic Divisions of the United States Geologicai Survey. Some of the papers announce new discoveries or present observations on problems of limited scope; other papers draw conclusions from more extensive or continuing investigations that in large part will be discussed in greater detail in reports to be published in the future.
Chapter A of this series, to be published later in the year, will present a synopsis of results from a wide range of work done during the present fiscal year.

Thin layers of salts, less than 50 centimeters thick, are deposited on the surface as a result of the evaporation of the percolating sea water which is brought to the surface by capillary action.
Halite (NaCl) and sylvite (KCl), the least soluble salts, crystallize at the surface, resulting in a relatively high content of magnesium in the residual brine.
The deposits were investigated by collection and analyses of salts and brine samples from 19 test pits and two drill holes. The chemical analyses indicate that small amounts of potassium salts (Average 3.5 percent potassium) occur in the surface evaporites and the brine contains an appreciable amount of magnesium (Average 3 percent magnesium). Cores collected from the two drill holes indicate that the deposits are surficial and no salt stratum occurs at depth.
Laboratory experiments indicate that fractional crystallization may be applied to recover potassium and magnesium salts from the brines at Pisida.

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.

Most of the basin is underlain by crystalline rocks that yield only small to moderate supplies of water to wells, but the creek has an unusually well-sustained base flow. Streamflow records for the Chadds Ford, Pa., gaging station were analyzed; base flow recession curves and hydrographs of base flow were defined for the calendar years 1928-31 and 1952-53. Water budgets calculated for these two periods indicate that about two-thirds of the runoff of Brandywine Creek is base flow--a significantly higher proportion of base flow than in streams draining most other types of consolidated rocks in the region and almost as high as in streams in sandy parts of the Coastal Plain province in New Jersey and Delaware.\r\n\r\n Ground-water levels in 16 observation wells were compared with the base flow of the creek for 1952-53. The wells are assumed to provide a reasonably good sample of average fluctuations of the water table and its depth below the land surface.\r\n\r\n Three of the wells having the most suitable records were selected as index wells to use in a more detailed analysis. A direct, linear relation between the monthly average ground-water stage in the index wells and the base flow of the creek in winter months was found.\r\n\r\n The average ground-water discharge in the basin for 1952-53 was 489 cfs (316 mgd), of which slightly less than one-fourth was estimated to be loss by evapotranspiration. However, the estimated evapotranspiration from ground water, and consequently the estimated total ground-water discharge, may be somewhat high.\r\n\r\n The average gravity yield (short-term coefficient of storage) of the zone of water-table fluctuation was calculated by two methods. The first method, based on the ratio of change in ground-water storage as calculated from a witner base-flow recession curve is seasonal change in ground-water stage in the observation wells, gave values of about 7 percent using 16 wells) and 7 1/2 percent (using 3 index wells). The second method, in which the change in ground water storage is based on a hypothetical base-flow recession curve (derived from the observed linear relation between ground-water stage in the index wells and base flow), gave a value of about 10 1/2 percent. The most probable value of gravity yield is between 7 1/2 and 10 percent, but this estimate may require modification when more information on the average magnitude of water-table fluctuation and the sources of base flow of the creek become available.\r\n\r\n Rough estimates were made of the average coefficient of transmissibility of the rocks in the basin by use of the estimated total ground-water discharge for the period 1952-53, approximate values of length of discharge areas, and average water-table gradients adjacent to the discharge areas. The estimated average coefficient of transmissibility for 1952-53 is roughly 1,000 gpd per foot. The transmissibility is variable, decreasing with decreasing ground-water stage.\r\n\r\n The seeming inconsistency between the small to moderate ground-water yield to wells and the high yield to streams is explained in terms of the deep permeable soils, the relatively high gravity yield of the zone of water-table fluctuation, the steep water-table gradients toward the streams, the relatively low transmissibility of the rocks, and the rapid decreases in gravity yield below the lower limit of water-table fluctuation. It is concluded that no simple relation exists between the amount of natural ground-water discharge in an area and all the proportion of this discharge that can be diverted to wells.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Government Printing Office","doi":"10.3133/pp417A","usgsCitation":"Olmsted, F.H., and Hely, A., 1962, Relation between ground water and surface water in Brandywine Creek basin, Pennsylvania: U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 417, p.

Pennsylvanian rocks crop out in more than 95 percent of the area and consist of shale and sandstone interbedded with some limestone and coal. The Pennsylvanian strata are divided into five formations. They are, in ascending order: the Caseyville sandstone and the Tradewater, Carbondale, Lisman, and Henshaw formations. The Anvil Rock sandstone member of the Lisman formation and the Caseyville sandstone are the only bedrock aquifers in the region that are known to yield more than 100 gpm (gallons per minute) to wells. Most bedrock wells produce enough water for a modern domestic supply, more than 500 gpd (gallons per day), and few yield so little water as to be inadequate for hand pumps and bailers, less than 100 gpd. \r\n\r\nUnconsolidated Cenozoic deposits range from latest Pliocene(?) to Recent in age and consist of clay, silt, sand, and gravel. High gravels, tentatively considered to be late Pliocene and early Pleistacene in age by McFarlan (1950, p. 125), and loess of Pleistocene age are locally exposed, but nearly all of the alluvium is of late Pleistocene and Recent ages. The alluvium along the Ohio River generally yields from a few hundred to as much as 1,000 gpm to single vertical wells and as much as several thousand gallons per minute to wells that have multiple horizontal screens. Alluvium in the tributaries of the Ohio River generally is finer grained than that of the Ohio Valley. The highest known yield from a well in the alluvium of the tributaries is 56 gpm; other wells yield enough for domestic supplies. \r\n\r\nAvailability of ground water in the region depends on the character and thickness of the aquifer penetrated, and, where the aquifer is bedrock on the depth of the water-bearing bed, and to a certain extent on the topographic situation. Most bedrock aquifers in the Western Coal Field region are sandstone and may vary greatly in thickness and composition within short distances. The region is divided into five areas of ground-water availability. Area 1 is confined to the Ohio Valley, most of which is underlain by relatively thick sections of sand and gravel that yield at least 50 gpm to most wells at depths of less than 150 feet. In area 2 most wells yield enough water for a modern domestic supply from depths of less than 300 feet. This area includes the largest part of the bedrock outcrop in the region, some of the alluvial area along the Ohio River, and much of the alluvial areas along the larger tributaries. In area 3 most wells yield enough water from depths of less than 300 feet to supply domestic needs when a hand pump is used. This area covers the bedrock parts of the region that are underlain by shale, sandy shale, and limestone, and the section where few wells are known to yield large supplies of water. In area 4 most wells fail to supply enough water for domestic use from depths of less than 300 feet, probably because they penetrate thick sections of unfractured shale or well-cemented sandstone. In area 5 the yield of wells is unpredictable, commonly because of faulting. \r\n\r\nThe water in the shallow bedrock aquifers of the region is mostly of the sodium bicarbonate or the calcium bicarbonate type. Saline water has been encountered at depths as shallow as 100 feet, but fresh water has been obtained at depths approaching 1,000 feet. Water from the bedrock is soft to moderately hard, but it may contain undesirable amounts of iron. Most water from the alluvium is of the calcium bicarbonate type and is generally harder and contains more iron than water from the bedrock.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1599","usgsCitation":"Maxwell, B.W., and Devaul, R.W., 1962, Reconnaissance of ground-water resources in the Western Coal Field Region, Kentucky: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1599, vi, 34 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1599.","productDescription":"vi, 34 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":137734,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1599/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":247195,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1599/plate-table_4.pdf","size":"791","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27985,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1599/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27986,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1599/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27987,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1599/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27988,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1599/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a64e4b07f02db637b34","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Maxwell, Bruce William","contributorId":67489,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Maxwell","given":"Bruce","email":"","middleInitial":"William","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":144860,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Devaul, Robert Washburn","contributorId":84338,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Devaul","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"Washburn","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":144861,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":23996,"text":"ofr6291 - 1962 - Water levels in observation wells in Santa Barbara County, California, in 1961","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2024-08-06T15:05:11.758613","indexId":"ofr6291","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1962","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":330,"text":"Open-File Report","code":"OFR","onlineIssn":"2331-1258","printIssn":"0196-1497","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"62-91","title":"Water levels in observation wells in Santa Barbara County, California, in 1961","docAbstract":"Investigation of the ground-water resources of Santa Barbara County was continued during 1961 by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Santa Barbara County Water Agency. Monthly water-level measurements were made in 190 wells, in 9 of which automatic water-level recorders were operated. Earlier measurements, covering the period 1941 through 1955, have been published in U. S. Geological Survey Water-Supply Papers (1943-1957); those for 1956 through 1960 have been released locally in duplicated form (Muir and Merritt, 1957; Evenson, 1958; Miller, 1959; Muir, Merritt, and Miller, 1960; and Merritt, 1961). LaRocque, Jr., and others (1950) contains tabulated descriptions of 2,246 wells in existence in 1942 in the several ground-water basins of the county. The same publication also contains many water-level measurements made prior to 1942 by the city of Santa Barbara, Santa Maria Valley Water Conservation District, San Joaquin Power Division of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co., Union Sugar Co., Union Oil Co., and other organizations and individuals.
Comprehensive reports on the geology and ground-water resources of the Santa Ynez River basin (Upson and Thomasson, 1951, and Wilson, 1959), the south-coast basins (Upson, 1951), the Santa Maria Valley area (Worts, 1951), and the Cuyama Valley (Upson and Worts, 1951) have been published as Water-Supply Papers 1107, 1467, 1108, 1000, and 1110-B, respectively. A similar report on the San Antonio Creek Valley is in preparation. 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 on October 1952.
In addition to the water-level measurements made by the Geological Survey in 1961, measurements made by the Santa Maria Valley Water Conservation District are included in this report. Not included in this report are miscellaneous measurements made by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation in wells along the middle reach of the Santa Ynez River between Cachuma Dam and Rucker Crossing.

\nThis report presents basic data collected as part of an investigation of the geology and ground-water resources of the lower Ipswich River basin, Massachusetts by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. The data have been prepared for release in order to make available to the public basic ground-water data that will be useful in the planning of water-resources development.
\nAn earlier Basic-Data Report (Baker and Sammel, 1961) presents data pertaining to ground-water conditions in the upper part of the Ipswich River basin (the Wilmington-Reading area).

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.
