Increasing world activity in water-resources development has created an interest in techniques for conducting investigations in the field. In the United States, the Geological Survey has the responsibility for extensive and intensive hydrologic studies, and the Survey places considerable emphasis on discovering better ways to carry out its responsibility. For many years, the dominant interest in field techniques has been \"in house,\" but the emerging world interest has led to a need for published accounts of this progress. In 1963 the Geological Survey published \"Selected Techniques in Water Resources Investigations\" (Water-Supply Paper 1669-Z) as part of the series \"Contributions to the Hydrology of the United States.\"
The report was so favorably received that successive volumes are planned, of which this is the first. The present report contains 25 papers that represent new ideas being tested or applied in the hydrologic field program of the Geological Survey. These ideas range from a proposed system for monitoring fluvial sediment to how to construct stream-gaging wells from steel oil drums. The original papers have been revised and edited by the compilers, but the ideas presented are those of the authors. The general description of the bubble gage on page 2 has been given by the compilers as supplementary information.

Ground water occurs as perched and semiperched bodies in alternate sandstone, shale, and limestone formations and under water-table conditions at the approximate level of the Green River in thick soluble limestone. Three continuous recorders that operated for 5 years indicate that precipitation on the Mammoth Cave plateau recharges the underlying sandstone rapidly. Ground water from the sandstone discharges horizontally to the edges of the plateau and vertically to underlying formations. Some of the precipitation recharges underlying formations almost immediately through overland flow to sinkholes and free fall through open shafts to pools at the water table. \r\n\r\nMuch of the precipitation on the Pennyroyal plain flows overland into sinkholes and then through solution openings to the Green River. Water from the Green River flows into limestone solution channels under Mammoth Cave plateau at some stages, and this water discharges again to the Green River downstream. The presence of salt water, high in chloride in the Green River, makes it possible to trace the movement of the river water through the underground streams. Graphs show relationships of chloride concentration, stage of the Green River, time, precipitation, ground-water levels, and stratigraphy.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Govt. Print.

The Weber Delta district covers an area of almost 400 square miles between the Wasatch Range and the east shore of Great Salt Lake in north-central Utah. The district, which is about 30 miles long and 3-20 miles wide, is dominated by the Wasatch Range on the east. West of the mountains is a generally narrow foothill area, from which flatlands, interrupted by a few low sand ridges, slope gently westward to the shore of Great Salt Lake. Breaching the foothills and the flatlands near the center of the district is the Weber Delta, which is the largest of the deltas built in the Pleistocene Epoch by Lake Bonneville on an open plain. The Weber Delta, the smaller delta of the Ogden River to the north, and the alluvial fans of several small streams, coalesce to form a belt of plateau-like high-lands from 2 to 7 miles wide and about 10 miles long from north to south. Ten miles north of the city of Ogden the Pleasant View salient projects westward from the front of the Wasatch Range, and about 15 miles west of the mountain front, Little Mountain rises 450 feet above the surface of the nearly level plain.

Alluvial-Fan Area, California","docAbstract":"The Kern River alluvial fan is the southernmost major alluvial fan built by the streams which drain the west side of the Sierra Nevada. The climate is semiarid with rainfall near 5 inches per year. Agricultural development within the area uses over half the 700,000 acre-feet per year flow of the Kern River, plus a considerable amount drawn from the ground-water reservoir particularly during periods of low flow. \r\n\r\nThe area overlies a deep structural trough between crystalline rocks of the Sierra Nevada and the marine rocks of Tertiary age of the Coast Ranges. The top horizon of the marine rocks that lap on the Sierra Nevada block underlies the report area at an average depth of 2,000 feet. The overlying continental deposits that form the groundwater reservoir consist of alluvial-fan and lacustrine deposits. \r\n\r\nThe continental deposits are subdivided into three lithologic units on the basis of grain size and sorting. The gravel and clay unit consists of older alluvial-fan material, of both Sierra Nevada and Coast Range provenance, that shows extremely poor sorting with some diagenetic decomposition through chemical weathering. The fine sand to clay unit consists principally of fine sand, silt, and clay deposited in a lacustrine environment, although some of the unit is of alluvial-fan origin derived from poorly consolidated marine shale of the Coast Ranges. Within the fine sand to clay unit three distinct clays, which affect ground-water conditions, can be recognized. The gravel to medium sand unit consists of unweathered alluvial-fan material that shows much better sorting than the gravel and clay unit. In the eastern part of the area the basal part of this unit is a gravel lentil that can be traced in the subsurface more than 250 square miles. The overlying deposits consist principally of medium sand. In the western part of the area the unit is a heterogeneous gravel and sand unit. Permeability in Meinzer units of the gravel and clay unit ranges between 10 and 100 with specific yield about 5 percent. For the fine sand to clay unit the permeability ranges between 0.0001 and 100 with about 10 percent specific yield. The gravel to medium sand unit has permeabilities between 100 and 10,000, and specific yield is about 15 percent. \r\n\r\nFor the period 1955-59 the annual gross surface-water supply was estimated at 421,000 acre-feet and pumpage was 664,000 acre-feet, giving a rounded total supply of 1,100,000 acre-feet. Annual consumptive use was estimated at 750,000 acre-feet and annual infiltration at 350,000 acre-feet. The approximate 300,000 acre-feet difference between 664,000 acre-feet pumped and 350,000 acre-feet infiltrated has caused an annual decline in water levels of up to 7 feet. \r\n\r\nGround water occurs under both unconfined and confined conditions within the report area. In general, the gravel to medium sand unit contains unconfined water, and the other two units contain confined water. \r\n\r\nPumping is less intense in the Kern River fan area than in the adjoining areas to the north or south. This fact, plus infiltration from the Kern River, results in ground-water movement being principally out of the area. There is a ground-water divide that approximately underlies the Kern River. South of the river the flow spreads out semicircularly from the river, and north of the river the flow is linear to the northwest. \r\n\r\nBased on chemical quality the ground water has been divided areally into (1) east side, (2) west side, and (3) axial water. \r\n\r\nWith the exception of two areas of comparable size northwest of Bakersfield and a much smaller area southeast of that city where ground water is somewhat saline, east-side ground water is generally of the calcium bicarbonate and calcium sodium bicarbonate type of low to medium salinity. The chemical character of east-side ground water is necessarily related to that of Kern River water, the principal source of recharge, and water of intermittent streams which drain the dissected upland","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"Geological Survey (U.S.)","doi":"10.3133/ofr6621","issn":"0094-9140","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources","usgsCitation":"Dale, R.H., French, J.J., and Gordon, G.V., 1966, Ground-Water Geology and Hydrology of the Kern River Alluvial-Fan Area, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 66-21, Report: iv, 92 p.; 7 Plates, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr6621.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 92 p.; 7 Plates","costCenters":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":110360,"rank":700,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_52793.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"},"description":"52793"},{"id":156947,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":52251,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52252,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52253,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52254,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52255,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-5.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52256,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-6.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52257,"rank":406,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/plate-7.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":52258,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0021/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab0e4b07f02db66d697","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dale, R.

Extensive land use and land-treatment changes have taken place in the 12.2-square-mile Corey Creek study basin, whereas such changes in the 10.2-square-mile Elk Run basin, which is adjacent to the northeast, have been relatively slight. Elk Run basin, which is topographically and hydrologically similar to Corey Creek basin, was used as an external control for the Corey Creek basin study. \r\n\r\nMultiple-regression analysis showed that of all the variables, runoff correlated most highly with the sediment yield of each basin. \r\n\r\nSurveys at selected cross-sections of the two streams indicated that most channel changes were in the banks rather than in the bed. At points where the stream channel slope was greater than 70 feet per mile, the average annual change in cross-sectional area at the measured ranges was less than +--2.5 square feet. Filling of the stream channel occurred where the slope was 70 feet per mile or less, and such filling was greater in Corey Creek than in Elk Run. \r\n\r\nTrend analyses of data from both basins indicated no persistent changers in quantity of runoff, precipitation, or runoff intensity (peakedness), although similar analyses indicated significant changes in the rate of suspended-sediment discharge from both basins. During the period September 1957 to September 1960, sediment discharge from Corey Creek basin decreased by 11 percent relative to the sediment discharge from Elk Run. All, or most, of this decrease was the result of a decrease in sediment discharge during the May to October growing seasons. No significant trends were detected in data collected d-ring the November to April dormant season. \r\n\r\nA factor, termed the relative erosion potential, was formulated for evaluating the effects of changes in the hydrologic cover conditions. This factor was adjusted for- the effects of diversion terrace construction in the Corey Creek basin. A rank correlation test of the adjusted relative erosion potential versus the growing season Corey Creek-Elk Run suspended-sediment discharge ratio resulted in a correlation coefficient, r=0.71, significant at the 3 percent level. The least-squares regression equation derived from the .same data. was Y=0.276 X - 6.89. \r\n\r\nwhere Y was the Corey Creek-Elk Run sediment-discharge ratio and X was the adjusted relative erosion potential. The correlation coefficient was 0.65. significant at the 12 percent level. Standard error of estimate was 0.44. or about ?20 percent of the observed variation in the sediment-discharge ratio.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Government Printing Office","doi":"10.3133/wsp1532C","usgsCitation":"Jones, B.L., 1966, Effects of agricultural conservation practices on the hydrology of Corey Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1954-60: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1532, v, 55 p. :ill. ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1532C.","productDescription":"v, 55 p. :ill. ;24 cm.","costCenters":[{"id":532,"text":"Pennsylvania Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":27395,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1532c/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":138483,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1532c/report-thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a4ae4b07f02db624b61","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jones, Benjamin L.","contributorId":78313,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jones","given":"Benjamin","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":144491,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":1402,"text":"wsp1818 - 1966 - Hydrology of the alluvial deposits in the Ohio River valley in Kentucky","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:05:13","indexId":"wsp1818","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1966","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":"1818","title":"Hydrology of the alluvial deposits in the Ohio River valley in Kentucky","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.

It is the part of the drainage basin that is within the Drought Polygon of northeast Brazil, and it totals about 5,400 square kilometers. It receives relatively abundant precipitation in terms of the annual average, yet is regarded as hot subhumid to semiarid because the precipitation is uneven from year to year and place to place. The dependable water supply, therefore, is small. \r\n\r\nThe basin has water, which could be put to better use than at present, but the opportunities for augmenting the usable supply are not great. The streams are intermittent and therefore cannot be expected to fill surface reservoirs and to keep them filled. The ground-water reservoirs have small capacity--quickly filled and quickly drained. \r\n\r\nA rough estimate based on the records for 1964 suggests that, of 4,700 million cubic meters of precipitation in the upper Capibaribe basin, 2,700 million cubic meters (57 percent) left the basin as runoff and 2,000 million cubic meters {43 percent) went into underground storage or was evaporated or transpired. The bedrock of the upper Capibaribe basin is composed of granite, gneiss, schist, and other varieties of crystalline rocks, which have only insignificant primary permeability. They are permeable mainly where fractured. The principal fracture zones, fortunately, are in the valleys, where water accumulates and can feed into them, but the volume of fractured rock is small in relation to the basin as a whole. A well in a large water-filled fracture zone may yield up to 20,000 liters per hour, but the average well yields less than one-fourth this amount, and some wells yield none. \r\n\r\nThe saprolite, or weathered rock, is many meters thick at some places especially in the eastern half of the upper Capibaribe basin. It contains water locally, but ordinarily will yield only small quantities to wells. The alluvium probably is the most productive aquifer in the basin, but is limited to narrow bands along the rivers that generally are no more than a few hundred meters wide and 5 meters thick. The alluvium contains variable amounts of silty sand capable of yielding small to moderate quantities of water to wells. Wells driven or dug into the alluvium could solve many small water problems. The chemical quality of the water in the upper Capibaribe basin ranges from good to bad and generally presents a major problem that cannot be solved solely by applying geological criteria. Mineralized water is widespread in the area, both in streams and underground, and .the choice of aquifers is small. All known aquifers contain, at one place or another, water that is mineralized, leaving no alternative for a natural supply of good-quality water. \r\n\r\nAlthough much of the available water is unsatisfactory for human consumption, it is generally acceptable for animals and therefore meets one of the principal water needs. Some of the ground water could be made potable by diluting it with rainwater, which could be collected during rainy seasons and temporarily stored in cisterns or reservoirs.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1663E","usgsCitation":"Chada Filho, L.G., Dias Pessoa, M., and Sinclair, W.C., 1966, Hydrology of the Upper Capibaribe Basin, Pernambuco, Brazil - A reconnaissance in an Area of Crystalline Rocks: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1663, iv, 44 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1663E.","productDescription":"iv, 44 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":138097,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1663e/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":25902,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1663e/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25903,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1663e/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0ee4b07f02db5fdb3f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Chada Filho, Luiz Goncalves","contributorId":48161,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Chada Filho","given":"Luiz","email":"","middleInitial":"Goncalves","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143220,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dias Pessoa, Mario","contributorId":10778,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dias Pessoa","given":"Mario","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143218,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Sinclair, William C.","contributorId":14798,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sinclair","given":"William","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143219,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":1092,"text":"wsp1831 - 1966 - Hydrology of Cornfield Wash area and effects of land-treatment practices, Sandoval County, New Mexico, 1951-60","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2024-09-24T18:14:18.610113","indexId":"wsp1831","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1966","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":"1831","title":"Hydrology of Cornfield Wash area and effects of land-treatment practices, Sandoval County, New Mexico, 1951-60","docAbstract":"The collection of runoff and sediment data was the primary objective of the 10-year (1951-60) study in the Cornfield Wash basin, which has an area of 21.3 square miles. However, reconnaissance investigations also were made of (1) precipitation; (2) the effects of reservoirs on runoff, erosion, and sediment yield; (3) the effects of range pitting on runoff, sediment, and vegetation yields; and (4) the effects of wire sediment barriers on sediment accumulations. \r\n\r\nPrecipitation averaged 6.07 inches for the warm season (May 1 through October 31). From 1951 to 1955 much of the precipitation came in short torrential downpours. Since 1955, precipitation usually has been of lower intensity, resulting in a low runoff-precipitation ratio. \r\n\r\nThe total composite inflow to the 19 reservoirs in the Cornfield Wash basin--12 constructed in 1950 and 7 constructed from 1953 to 1956--was 5,720 acre-feet. The reservoirs permanently retained 1,370 acre-feet of water, 43 percent of which was apparently lost by evaporation. \r\n\r\nThe average seasonal runoff (1951-59) from the ephemeral streams of the Cornfield Wash basin and nearby watersheds can be expressed, with a high coefficient of correlation, by the equation: runoff = 29.4 (area) 0.82 acre-feet. This relation suggests that there is a good correlation between the size of the drainage basin and the basin characteristics that most influence travel time of runoff. Comparisons of readily measurable basin characteristics that influence travel time indicate: 1. Land slope is proportional to (area) .0.035; 2. Length of longest watercourse is proportional to (area) 0.52; 3. Distance along the longest watercourse from gaging station to a point opposite the center of drainage basin is proportional to (area)0.52; and 4. Equivalent channel slope is proportional to (area)- 0.027. Except for land slope, the coefficients of correlation for each of the basin characteristics-area relations were relatively high. The correlation between seasonal runoff (1951-60) from the small watersheds of the Cornfield Wash basin and the size of the drainage basin was improved after correcting for the influence of land slope.\r\n\r\nThe original total storage capacity of the 19 reservoirs was reduced from 845 to 455 acre-feet as a result of the impoundment of 390 acre-feet of sediment. Backwater from the reservoirs influenced the deposition of an additional 20 acre-feet of sediment. \r\n\r\nThe average annual accretion of sediment (1951-60) in the reservoirs of the Cornfield Wash basin can be expressed by the equation: sediment - 0.0119 (seasonal runoff) 1.3 (incised channel density) 0.71. By removing seasonal runoff as a variable, the average annual sediment accretion is proportional to (area) 1.19 (incised channel density) 1.3. \r\n\r\nConservation and rehabilitation of damaged land were successful in some instances and only partly successful in others. The reservoirs are effective in inducing sediment accretion upstream; also, they stop the advance of abrupt headcuts below the reservoirs, but only as long as the spillage is not great and the spillway stays intact. In addition, the reservoirs are effective in reducing flood peaks. A longer period of study is necessary to define adequately the effectiveness of the wire sediment barriers. The data collected on range-pitting effects were not complete enough to. define the magnitude of the changes, if any, in runoff, sediment, and vegetation yields.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1831","usgsCitation":"Burkham, D., 1966, Hydrology of Cornfield Wash area and effects of land-treatment practices, Sandoval County, New Mexico, 1951-60: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1831, Report: v, 87 p.; 1 Plate: 22.00 x 24.26 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1831.","productDescription":"Report: v, 87 p.; 1 Plate: 22.00 x 24.26 inches","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":25821,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1831/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25822,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1831/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":462211,"rank":4,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_25036.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":137933,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1831/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","county":"Sandoval County","geographicExtents":"{\"type\":\"FeatureCollection\",\"features\":[{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"MultiPolygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[[-107.6208,36.2208],[-107.5854,36.2203],[-107.5501,36.2203],[-107.5147,36.219],[-107.4964,36.2183],[-107.4782,36.2181],[-107.4605,36.2178],[-107.4428,36.2181],[-107.4251,36.2178],[-107.404,36.2172],[-106.9865,36.2159],[-106.9141,36.2155],[-106.897,36.2152],[-106.877,36.2154],[-106.8766,36.1732],[-106.8806,36.0307],[-106.8814,36.0003],[-106.6158,36.002],[-106.3947,36.0025],[-106.3099,36.0018],[-106.2445,36.0011],[-106.2438,35.9657],[-106.2529,35.9666],[-106.2632,35.967],[-106.262,35.9725],[-106.2979,35.9742],[-106.2978,35.9651],[-106.2978,35.9601],[-106.3137,35.9592],[-106.3137,35.9542],[-106.3449,35.9527],[-106.3535,35.9536],[-106.3824,35.9535],[-106.3836,35.9612],[-106.395,35.9607],[-106.3949,35.9476],[-106.3968,35.8641],[-106.3967,35.8559],[-106.3949,35.8292],[-106.4147,35.8287],[-106.4124,35.8218],[-106.4067,35.8164],[-106.3982,35.8115],[-106.384,35.8097],[-106.3664,35.8116],[-106.3619,35.812],[-106.3522,35.8107],[-106.3517,35.8157],[-106.3352,35.8094],[-106.317,35.8058],[-106.2994,35.7977],[-106.2801,35.7932],[-106.2636,35.7801],[-106.2568,35.7719],[-106.2517,35.7638],[-106.25,35.7611],[-106.2466,35.7533],[-106.2454,35.742],[-106.2463,35.6758],[-106.2462,35.6544],[-106.2465,35.5469],[-106.2464,35.5319],[-106.2474,35.4802],[-106.2467,35.4461],[-106.246,35.4071],[-106.2458,35.3495],[-106.2463,35.315],[-106.2474,35.3054],[-106.2434,35.3054],[-106.2416,35.2519],[-106.242,35.2147],[-106.3765,35.2175],[-106.3822,35.2175],[-106.4531,35.2172],[-106.479,35.2176],[-106.4964,35.2184],[-106.5645,35.2186],[-106.5955,35.2184],[-106.8622,35.2172],[-106.8808,35.2171],[-106.9337,35.2171],[-106.9416,35.217],[-107.0345,35.2185],[-107.0761,35.2186],[-107.0801,35.2186],[-107.0936,35.2189],[-107.1105,35.2188],[-107.1262,35.2186],[-107.1578,35.2192],[-107.1623,35.2192],[-107.1628,35.2192],[-107.1972,35.2197],[-107.2345,35.3024],[-107.3016,35.3021],[-107.3025,35.4247],[-107.3035,35.4787],[-107.3032,35.5277],[-107.3041,35.6139],[-107.3046,35.6439],[-107.3048,35.6552],[-107.305,35.6707],[-107.3053,35.6852],[-107.305,35.6997],[-107.3052,35.7151],[-107.3049,35.7301],[-107.3057,35.7419],[-107.3054,35.7573],[-107.3053,35.7864],[-107.3047,35.8168],[-107.3049,35.8295],[-107.3051,35.8744],[-107.3055,35.9311],[-107.3058,35.9765],[-107.3054,35.991],[-107.3056,36.0005],[-107.317,36.0008],[-107.3397,36.0006],[-107.3875,36.0009],[-107.4068,36.0007],[-107.4421,36.0008],[-107.5161,36.0026],[-107.5513,36.0026],[-107.5541,36.0025],[-107.5718,36.0027],[-107.5866,36.003],[-107.6042,36.0032],[-107.6213,36.003],[-107.6247,36.0034],[-107.6244,36.0175],[-107.6242,36.032],[-107.6231,36.0633],[-107.6226,36.0892],[-107.6223,36.1041],[-107.6218,36.135],[-107.6216,36.1491],[-107.621,36.1763],[-107.6208,36.1917],[-107.6208,36.2208]]],[[[-106.2452,35.8563],[-106.2457,35.8427],[-106.2736,35.8563],[-106.2452,35.8563]]]]},\"properties\":{\"name\":\"Sandoval\",\"state\":\"NM\"}}]}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a17e4b07f02db6049e0","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Burkham, D.

Many hydrologic data that aided water users in the past can be applied to present water problems and will be helpful for solving many similar problems in the future. Most of the water problems of Louisville, a water-rich area, concern management and are associated with the distribution of supplies, the quality of water, drainage, and waste disposal. \r\n\r\nThe local hydrologic system at Louisville is dominated by the Ohio River and the glacial-outwash deposits beneath its flood plain. The water-bearing limestones in the uplands are ,secondary sources of water. The average flow of the Ohio River at Louisville, 73 billion gallons per day, and the potential availability of 370 million gallons per day of ground water suitable for industrial cooling purposes minimize the chance of acute water shortage in the area. Under current development, use of water averages about 211 million gallons per day, excluding about 392 million gallons of Ohio River water circulated daily through steampower plants and returned directly to the river. Optimum use and control of the water resources will be dependent on solving several water problems. The principal sources of water are in the Ohio River bottom land, whereas the new and potential centers of use are in the uplands. Either water must be piped to these new centers from the present sources or new supplies must be developed. Available data on streamflow and ground water are adequate to plan for the development of small local supplies. \r\n\r\nSince the completion of floodwalls and levees in 1953, widespread damage from flooding is a thing of the past in the Louisville area. Some local flooding of unprotected areas and of lowlands along tributary streams still takes place. The analyses of streamflow data are useful in planning for protection of these areas, but additional streamflow records and flood-area mapping are needed to best solve the problem. Droughts are a problem only to users of small water supplies in the uplands, where additional water either can be imported or developed locally. \r\n\r\nPollution and undesirable chemical quality of water for some uses are the most serious drawbacks to the optimum development of the water resources in Louisville and Jefferson County. Available chemical analyses of ground water are useful for determining its suitability for various uses, but additional data are needed to guide management decisions. Sources of contamination should be inventoried and water samples analyzed periodically to monitor changes in quality.","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Contributions to the hydrology of the United States, 1965","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1819C","usgsCitation":"Bell, E.A., 1966, Summary of hydrologic conditions of the Louisville area, Kentucky: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1819, Report: iv, 36 p.; 6 Plates: 37.50 × 19.00 inches or smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1819C.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 36 p.; 6 Plates: 37.50 × 19.00 inches or smaller","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":392337,"rank":9,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_25021.htm"},{"id":25615,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/plate-6.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25614,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/plate-5.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25616,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25613,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25612,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25611,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25610,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":137994,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1819c/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Kentucky","city":"Louisville","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -85.87188720703125,\n 38.005902055387054\n ],\n [\n -85.51071166992188,\n 38.005902055387054\n ],\n [\n -85.51071166992188,\n 38.35350340353833\n ],\n [\n -85.87188720703125,\n 38.35350340353833\n ],\n [\n -85.87188720703125,\n 38.005902055387054\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b04e4b07f02db69905c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Bell, Edwin Allen","contributorId":84340,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Bell","given":"Edwin","email":"","middleInitial":"Allen","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143021,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":6075,"text":"pp494B - 1966 - Hydrologic basin, Death Valley, California","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2025-05-20T20:41:46.801605","indexId":"pp494B","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1966","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":331,"text":"Professional Paper","code":"PP","onlineIssn":"2330-7102","printIssn":"1044-9612","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"494","chapter":"B","title":"Hydrologic basin, Death Valley, California","docAbstract":"No abstract available.

The ground-water flow pattern is the principal hydrologic control on the chemical character of the water. Within the Coastal Plain sediments, the proportions of clay, glauconitic sand, and calcareous material are the principal lithologic controls over the chemistry of the water.
\nA subsurface body of salt water extends from southern New Jersey through southern Virginia and occupies the deposits deeper than about 500 feet below land surface in the eastern part of the Coastal Plain. The position of its top is determined by the relative head, which in turn is influenced by topography, drainage density, and the thickness and permeability of the Coastal Plain sediments.
\nHydrochemical facies is a term used in this paper to denote the diagnostic chemical aspect of ground-water solutions occurring in hydrologic systems. The facies reflect the response of chemical processes operating within the lithologic framework and also the pattern of flow of the water. The distribution of these facies is shown in trilinear diagrams and isometric fence diagrams and on maps showing isopleths of chemical constituents within certain formations. The occurrence of the various facies within one formation or within a group of formations of uniform mineralogy indicates that the ground-water flow through the aquifer system modifies the distribution of the facies.
\nFlow patterns of fresh ground water shown on maps and in cross sections have been deduced from available water-level data. These patterns are controlled by the distribution of the higher landmasses and by the depth to either bedrock or to the salt-water interface. The mapping of hydrochemical facies shows that at shallow depths within the Coastal Plain (less than about 200 ft) the calcium-magnesium cation facies generally predominates. The bicarbonate anion facies occurs within more of the shallow Coastal Plain sediments than does the sulfate or the chloride facies. In deeper formations, the sodium chloride character predominates. The lower dissolved-solids content of the ground water in New Jersey indicates less upward vertical leakage than in Maryland and Virginia, where the shallow formations contain solutions of higher concentration.

The limestone formations, predominantly of Eocene age and subordinated of Oligocene and Miocene age, are widespread at and beneath the surface. They commonly dip gently seaward and are covered in coastal areas by Miocene to Recent clays and sands. Sinkholes and other karst features are common, but topographic relief is generally not great.
Circulation of water under water-table conditions when the limestone was exposed to meteoric weathering, before middle Miocene time, resulted in development of secondary permeability as solution channels in near-surface parts of the limestone, Marine deposition of middle and late Miocene clays and later emergence converted part of the water-table circulation system to the present great artesian system. Later, Pleistocene changes in sea level caused changed in places where water discharged, which in turn caused changes in rates of circulation and changes in rates and positions of solution of limestone. Both present and past circulation of water have contributed to changes in permeability and storage of this limestone system.

Re-examination of the relation of drainage density to base flow in the 15 basins originally described has revealed additional evidence that base flow is affected by precipitation or recharge (a climatic variable), while varying inversely with drainage density.Within the climatic region studied in the earlier paper (the Humid Subtropical Climate of the eastern U. S.), no evidence could be found that amount or intensity of rainfall affected the intensity of flood runoff or the scale of drainage density. In comparison with other climates, however, such as the Marine West Coast Climate, it is possible that the less intense precipitation of a marine climate may result in lower runoff intensities and lower drainage densities, however the lower mean temperatures of such climates may develop soils of generally higher infiltration capacity which would produce lower drainage densities.A progressive increase in aridity results in a decrease in soil and vegetal cover which greatly magnifies the range of drainage densities characteristic of semi-arid regions. In such regions, where the land sur-face has a good infiltration capacity rainfall sinks readily into the dry soil (although recharge to ground water may be negligible), and runoff is virtually zero, as is drainage density, Impermeable terranes devoid of vegetal and soil cover reject the rain, runoff is briefly total and drainage density may be greatly magnified, as in the South Dakota Badlands, where drainage density runs into the hundreds. Arid or Desert Climates should produce erosional landforms with generally high drainage densities, though not reaching the magnitudes of drainage density found in the semi-arid badlands where rainfall intensities are much higher. © 1966 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

By defining it, on rational grounds, as that discharge at which, over a long period of time, most sediment has been transported, a definite value can be computed for a stream for which there are available duration-curve values of daily discharge and a sediment-rating curve. This has been done for 5 eastern and 4 western rivers. The dominant discharge, when expressed in terms of percentage duration, is remarkably consistent, and is found to be a lower discharge than has generally been considered as dominant.
