The principal aquifer in Uvalde County is the Edwards and associated limestones of Cretaceous age. The aquifer underlies an extensive area in south-central Texas extending along the Balcones fault zone from Kinney County eastward to San Antonio, and thence northeastward to Hays County. The hydrologic unit making up the Edwards and associated limestones consists of the Comanche Peak limestone, the Edwards limestone, the Kiamichi formation, and the Georgetown limestone. Other less important aquifers in Uvalde County include the Glen Rose limestone, the Buda limestone, the Austin chalk, and the Leona formation.
\n\n
Uvalde County occupies parts of two physiographic provinces, the Edwards Plateau on the north and the Coastal Plain on the south; the two provinces are separated by the Balcones fault zone. In the Edwards Plateau the formations of the Edwards and associated limestones crop out on the plateau surface; in the Coastal Plain where the formations have been down-faulted, they underlie younger rocks. In both provinces the formations dip gently toward the south and southeast; the dips are greatest in the Coastal Plain. Igneous intrusions have penetrated the formations in many places in the Coastal Plain, and locally have formed barriers to ground-water movement.
\n\n
The aquifers in Uvalde County are recharged by precipitation within the county and in the drainage areas of streams entering the county from the north and west. In the Edwards Plateau, the Edwards and associated limestones are recharged by precipitation that falls on the outcrop. The aquifer is drained by springs at the contact with the underlying Glen Rose limestone where streams have cut through the Edwards at the edge of the plateau. These springs maintain the base flow of the streams that drain the plateau. Most of the base flow and much of flood flow of the streams is lost to the Edwards and associated limestones where they crop out in streambeds in the Balcones fault zone. This stream loss to the aquifer constitutes the greatest part of the recharge in the county, although some of the recharge from the West Nueces River enters the county as underflow from Kinney County. The normal annual recharge to the Edwards in Uvalde County is estimated to be about 200,000 acre-feet.
\n\n
Discharge from the Edwards and associated limestones in Uvalde County can be divided into two .major segments: discharge by underflow from the county to the east and south and discharge to the surface through wells and springs. Discharge by underflow during the period 1934-47, when changes in storage were small, is estimated to have been about 190,000 acre-feet per year. During the drought years 1947-56 the underflow was somewhat less. The discharge to the surface during 1934-47 averaged about 17,000 acre-feet per year. During the 1947-56 drought the rate of discharge to the surface increased principally because of increased use of water for irrigation, reaching a maximum of 58,000 acre-feet in 1956.
\n\n
The chemical quality. of the ground water in Uvalde County ranges between wide limits. Except in the extreme southern part of the county where the water is saline, the water in the Edwards and associated limestones is of good chemical quality except that it is hard. The water in the Glen Rose limestone is saline in many places; the principal objectionable constituents are high concentrations of calcium and magnesium sulfate. The water in the Leona formation is generally of good chemical quality. The water from the other formations varies widely in quality from place to place and no generalizations can be made.
\n\n
Ground-water withdrawals from the Edwards and associated limestones in Uvalde County probably could be maintained indefinitely at a rate of about 200,000 acre-feet per year, provided that withdrawals north and west of the county were not increased. However, continued withdrawals at this rate-would cause wells in structurally high areas to go dry, and underflow into Medina County would cease. Furthermore, saline water might invade the fresh-water part of the aquifer from the south, and perennial spring flow in the Leona River valley would cease.

It is an active agent in chemical weathering, supplies moisture for forest growth, and sustains fish and wildlife. Despite its importance, virtually nothing has been known of the chemical character of snow in the western mountains until the present study.
Analysis of more than 100 samples, most from the northern Sierra Nevada, but some from Utah, Denver, Colo., and scattered points, shows that melted snow is a dilute solution containing measurable amounts of some or all of the inorganic constituents commonly found in natural water. There are significant regional differences in chemical composition; the progressive increase in calcium content with increasing distance eastward from the west slope of the Sierra Nevada is the most pronounced. The chemical character of individual snowfalls is variable. Some show predominant influence of oceanic salt; others show strong effects of mineralization from continental sources, probably largely dust. Silica and boron were found in about half the samples analyzed for these constituents; precipitation is seldom analyzed for these substances.
Results of the chemical analyses for major constituents in snow samples are summarized in the following table. The median and mean values for individual constituents are derived from 41-78 samples of Sierra Nevada snow, 6-18 samples of Utah snow, and 6-17 samples of Denver, Colo., snow.
The sodium, chloride, and perhaps boron found in snow are probably incorporated in moisture-laden air masses as they move over the Pacific Ocean. Silica, although abundant in the silicate-mineral nuclei found in some snowflakes, may be derived in soluble form largely from dust. Calcium, magnesium, and some bicarbonate are probably added by dust of continental origin. The sources of the other constituents remain unknown.
When snowmelt comes in contact with the lithosphere, the earlier diversity of chemical type largely disappears. The melt water rapidly increases its content of dissolved solids and becomes calcium magnesium bicarbonate in type. Silica, whose concentration increases more than tenfold, shows the largest gain; calcium and bicarbonate contents also increase markedly. Most of the additional mineral matter is from soft and weathered rock; bicarbonate, however, is largely from the soil atmosphere.
Investigators, some reporting as much as a century ago, concentrated attention largely on nitrogen compounds and seldom reported other constituents except chloride and sulfate. The Northern European precipitation-sampling network provides the most comprehensive collection of data on precipitation chemistry, but it does not segregate snow from other forms of precipitation. The present study establishes with confidence the chemical character of snow in the Sierra Nevada, and suggests that the dissolved-solids content of precipitation increases with increasing distance inland from the Pacific Coast.

The investigation of these small basins will be to (1) establish pre-logging conditions, (2) determine the effects of different logging methods, and (3) study the rate of recovery after the timber harvest. This report presents results of sedimentation in the basins, Deer and Flynn Creeks and Needle Branch, for the first 2 years of study (1959 and 1960 water years). \r\n\r\nRainfall, runoff, and sediment discharge are seasonal for the Coast Range of western Oregon. About 95 percent of the rainfall and runoff occurs during the period October to May, but nearly 100 percent of the suspended-sediment discharge occurs during the same period. For Deer Creek, in the 1960 water year, 23 percent of the annual suspended-sediment discharge occurred on 1 day, 58 percent during the 10 days of greatest discharge, and 78 percent during the 38 days of greatest discharge. \r\n\r\nRainfall is practically equal for all three of the basins. The runoff of the Deer and Flynn Creek basins is about equal, but that of the Needle Branch basin averaged 8 percent less. \r\n\r\nSediment yield varies considerably for the three basins. The suspended-sediment yield of the Deer Creek basin is almost twice that of the Needle Branch basin and almost 1? times that of the Flynn Creek basin. \r\n\r\nWater temperature of the three streams varied only 22?F during the 2 water years. The greatest variation between streams was 3?F in the minimums. Water temperature effect can be neglected in comparing the sediment yields of the basins. \r\n\r\nThe aquifers of the basins have low storage capacities as illustrated by the very low, late summer flow. A study of a midwinter freshet period for the Deer Creek basin showed that virtually all the rainfall left the basin as runoff within 4 days; the period of significant sediment transport was thus very short.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Dept. of the Interior, Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/cir490","usgsCitation":"Williams, R., 1964, Sedimentation in three small forested drainage basins in the Alsea River basin, Oregon: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 490, iii, 16 p. :ill. ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir490.","productDescription":"iii, 16 p. :ill. ;27 cm.","costCenters":[{"id":518,"text":"Oregon Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":124409,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0490/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30246,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0490/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0ae4b07f02db5fbc5e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Williams, R.C.","contributorId":103621,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Williams","given":"R.C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":146516,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":3660,"text":"cir492 - 1964 - Ground-water research of the U.S. Geological Survey","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2019-11-12T09:39:40","indexId":"cir492","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1964","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":307,"text":"Circular","code":"CIR","onlineIssn":"2330-5703","printIssn":"1067-084X","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"492","title":"Ground-water research of the U.S. Geological Survey","docAbstract":"No abstract available.

east of Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming","docAbstract":"The project area, which lies east of and adjacent to Jackson Lake is on the downthrown eastern block of the Teton fault, a normal fault that trends northward along the west edge of Jackson Lake. Rocks of pre-Cretaceous age are deeply buried beneath this area. Sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous age and sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age, which have an aggregate thickness of about 30,000 feet, are exposed in the northern and eastern parts of the area. Along most of the east side of Jackson Lake, unconsolidated glacial and interglacial deposits of Quaternary age overlie the rocks of Cretaceous and Tertiary age. The unconsolidated deposits were penetrated by test drilling to a depth of 206 feet, but the maximum thickness is probably much greater. Test wells were drilled in five localities to evaluate the deposits of Quaternary age as possible sources of ground water for National Park Service facilities. In the Pilgrim Creek valley, test wells were capable of yielding 200 gpm (gallons per minute); properly constructed production wells could obtain much greater yields. Test wells at Lizard Point and Jackson Lake Campgrounds yielded more than 100 gpm, and a test well near the confluence of the Buffalo Fork and Snake rivers yielded 30 gpm. A test hole drilled in the NW1/4 sec. 36, T. 46 N., R. 115 W., was dry at 200 feet. Unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary age are the most promising source of additional ground water. Because of the extreme range in grain size and sorting, these deposits vary greatly in permeability. Their saturated thickness ranges from 0 to more than 130 feet and changes seasonally; variations of as much as 36 feet were measured (1961-62) in the Pilgrim Creek valley. In most localities where deposits of Quaternary age are ,present, small to moderate ground-water supplies can be developed; larger ground-water supplies can be developed in parts of the Pilgrim Creek valley. One well taps the Bivouac Formation of Late Pliocene or Pleistocene age, but no other wells are known to tap rocks of possible pre-Quaternary age. The Harebell Formation and Bacon Ridge Sandstone of Late Cretaceous age and the Bivouac Formation offer the best possibilities for development of additional water supplies from the consolidated rocks. Chemical analyses of water samples from 11 wells in the deposits of Quaternary age and 1 well in the Bivouac Formation indicate that the water is of generally good quality for drinking and most other purposes. Water from one well tapping lacustrine(?) sand had a dissolved-solids content of 321 ppm (parts per million); all other samples had from 87 to 145 ppm.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.3133/cir494","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the National Park Service","usgsCitation":"McGreevy, L., and Gordon, E.D., 1964, Ground water east of Jackson Lake, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 494, Report: iv, 27 p.; 1 Plate: 16.90 x 21.58 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/cir494.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 27 p.; 1 Plate: 16.90 x 21.58 inches","numberOfPages":"32","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":395311,"rank":4,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_23905.htm"},{"id":30702,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0494/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":124436,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0494/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":271081,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0494/plate-1.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wyoming","otherGeospatial":"Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Lake","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -110.753173828125,\n 43.8008364060122\n ],\n [\n -110.753173828125,\n 44.067853669357596\n ],\n [\n -110.4345703125,\n 44.067853669357596\n ],\n [\n -110.4345703125,\n 43.8008364060122\n ],\n [\n -110.753173828125,\n 43.8008364060122\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab0e4b07f02db66dc4f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McGreevy, Laurence J.","contributorId":98706,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McGreevy","given":"Laurence J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147362,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Gordon, Ellis D.","contributorId":12451,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gordon","given":"Ellis","email":"","middleInitial":"D.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147361,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":3663,"text":"cir487 - 1964 - Growing importance of urban geology","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2017-10-15T16:14:43","indexId":"cir487","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1964","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":307,"text":"Circular","code":"CIR","onlineIssn":"2330-5703","printIssn":"1067-084X","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"487","title":"Growing importance of urban geology","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir487","usgsCitation":"McGill, J.T., 1964, Growing importance of urban geology: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 487, 4 p. ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir487.","productDescription":"4 p. ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":117686,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0487/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30703,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0487/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a91e4b07f02db656a43","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"McGill, John T.","contributorId":102463,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"McGill","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147363,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":3221,"text":"cir489 - 1964 - A magnetic anomaly of possible economic significance in southeastern Minnesota","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2018-01-02T19:49:02","indexId":"cir489","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1964","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":307,"text":"Circular","code":"CIR","onlineIssn":"2330-5703","printIssn":"1067-084X","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"489","title":"A magnetic anomaly of possible economic significance in southeastern Minnesota","docAbstract":"An aeromagnetic survey in southeastern Minnesota by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the State of Minnesota has revealed a high-amplitude, linear, and narrow magnetic feature that suggests a possible source of Precambrian iron-formation of economic value. \r\n\r\nFor the past few years the U. S. Geological Survey has been conducting detailed geophysical studies of the midcontinent gravity anomaly--a broad, high-amplitude feature that extends from Lake Superior through the States of Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and part of Kansas. As part of this study an aeromagnetic survey of the southern part of the State was made in cooperation with the State of Minnesota during the summer of 1963, in which a linear high-amplitude anomaly of the order of 4,000 gammas was discovered. Because of the high amplitude, the linearity, and the narrowness of the magnetic feature, it is believed the source may be Precambrian iron-formation of possible economic value. \r\n\r\nThe anomalous area is in Fillmore County, approximately between the towns of Lanesboro and Peterson in the extreme southeastern part of the State. (See figures 1 and 2.) At the site of the anomaly, Cambrian sedimentary rocks occur in the valley of the Root River, and Ordovician rocks (nearly flat lying) mantle the upland areas. \r\n\r\nThe uplands are largely covered by glacial deposits, which are relatively thin (Paul K. Sims, written communication, 1964). Depths to the Precambrian are estimated to range from 500 feet to 1,000 feet below the surface. \r\n\r\nThe aeromagnetic map shown in figure 2 was compiled from continuous magnetic profiles made along east-west flight lines 1,000 feet above ground, and spaced approximately 1 mile apart. Contour intervals of 20, 100, and 500 gammas were used depending on the intensity. The instrument for the survey was a flux-gate type magnetometer (AN/ASQ-3A) which measures total-field variations. The contour map displays variations in magnetic pattern which are typical of shallow Precambrian rocks. Anomalies of the order of 1,000 gammas are shown along the east and west edges of the map. The outstanding feature is the previously mentioned linear positive anomaly that trends northeast and reaches a peak of 3,960 gammas. The positive anomaly is contoured from data on four consecutive profiles, but only two show high amplitudes. The high-amplitude anomalies along traverses 1 and 2 are shown in figure 3. \r\n\r\nDepth calculations suggest that the source of the anomaly lies about 1,000 feet below the surface. Assuming a dikelike source and magnetization resulting entirely from induction in the earth's field, several calculations were made in an attempt to fit the magnetic profile taken along the line AA' (see figs. 2 and 4), considered to be a typical cross-section of the magnetic anomaly. Comparisons are shown between observed and computed profiles. The fixed parameters used were (a) distance from detector to source of 2,000 ft; width of dike of 5,000 ft; dip of dike of 75?, 90?, 105? , and 120? , as shown. The best fit occurs when the dike is vertical or dips 75? to the southwest. For these cases, the susceptibility, k, is computed to be 0.016 c.g.s, units, and is comparable to k = 0.02+ calculated by Bath (1962) for the relatively unmetamorphosed iron-formation of the Main Megabi district in Minnesota where the induced magnetization was most likely the dominant magnetization. If the dominant magnetization for the anomaly in Fillmore County were remanent rather than induced, the economic importance of the anomaly would be greatly reduced. \r\n\r\nThis anomaly seems sufficiently promising to warrant further geologic and geophysical investigation.

In the final analysis, however, the presence of iron-formation can be determined only by the drill.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir489","usgsCitation":"Zietz, I., 1964, A magnetic anomaly of possible economic significance in southeastern Minnesota: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 489, 5 p. :maps ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir489.","productDescription":"5 p. :maps ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":138944,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0489/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30214,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1964/0489/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b23e4b07f02db6ae1de","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Zietz, Isidore","contributorId":76708,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Zietz","given":"Isidore","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":146462,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":3004,"text":"wsp1786 - 1964 - Inventory of published and unpublished chemical analyses of surface waters in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, 1961","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2017-09-06T17:54:41","indexId":"wsp1786","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":"1786","title":"Inventory of published and unpublished chemical analyses of surface waters in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, 1961","docAbstract":"This inventory contains a list of published and unpublished chemical analyses obtained through September 30, 1961, by agencies associated with the Subcommittee on Hydrology. Bulletin 6 of Subcommittee on Hydrology includes references to all surface-water analyses for states east of the Mississippi River known to exist in the files of Federal agencies through September 30, 1951. Records of analyses of surface waters for states west of the Mississippi River are included in Bulletins 2 and 9 of the Subcommittee. Bulletin 2 includes the period of record prior to October 1, 1947, and Bulletin 9 includes the period from October 1, 1947, to September 30, 1955. Therefore, the earliest date for which references to data are included in this volume varies from October 1951 for states east of the Mississippi River (including Minnesota) to October 1, 1955, for states west of the Mississippi River. Analyses of water from Alaska and Puerto Rico were not reported in earlier inventories. An attempt was made to include available analyses obtained in Alaska since October 1951, but additional chemical determinations of water in Alaska that are not inventoried in this report were undoubtedly made in years prior to 1951. Requests concerning specific records not reported herein should be directed to offices having responsibility in the area.
This publication is patterned after preceding bulletins as far as practicable. The contents include a list of sampling stations and locations, drainage area above each station, period of record, number and frequency of samples collected, number of analytical values reported in each group arranged according to general types or purposes, and a list of references to the sources of basic data.
