These are fed by a large\nground-water body lying east and north of the river, beneath the Snake River\nPlain. Much ground water is pumped on the plain, many irrigation wells having\nbeen drilled since 1946. Heavy withdrawal of ground water from wells may\nalter the discharge rates and regimens of the springs and may affect downstream\nflow of the river. For that reason, the historic record of discharge from\nthe springs is an important part of the basis on which hydrologic changes can be\ndetermined. The records also would facilitate appraisal of the total groundwater\nresources of the Snake River Plain.\nThis report brings together in a single volume all obtainable records for the\nperiod 1899-1947. The report also includes descriptive data and a brief history\nof work done.\nThe springs occur in a 40-mile reach of the valley of the Snake River between\nMilner Dam and Bliss. Most are on the north side of the river but a few are\non the south.\nThe earliest measurements of record were made by F. S. Shirley and N. S. Dils,\nof the U. S. Geological Survey, in 1899. The next were by J. D. Stannard for\nthe Idaho State Engineer and by Dils in 1902. Few measurements were made\nfrom 1903 to 1916. Somewhat more systematic measurements were made by\nthe Geological Survey and by local agencies in 1917-20, 1923-25, and 1931, and\nat several intervals thereafter. In 1950 the Geological Survey began continuous,\nsystematic measurements by installing and operating gaging stations on four\nrepresentative springs and by making yearly direct measurements of all large\nsprings. The recent records are not included in this report; they have been\npublished yearly in a series of reports on stream discharge.\nThe report includes lists of all published sources from which data were compiled,\nand cites many unpublished sources. The principal workers and agencies\nthat have obtained records are listed also.\nThe quality and accuracy of the compiled records, as might be expected, are\nnot uniform, as the records were collected under varying circumstances, by many\nindividuals, and according to changing or differing standards. The continuity is\ngenerally poor. Nevertheless, the compilation represents the base from which\nfurther work must start and is an extremely valuable record. It represents about\n30 large springs and groups of springs, having discharge rates ranging from a\nfraction of a cubic foot per second to well over 1,000 cfs. Many smaller springs\nand seeps never have been measured. The fluctuation indexes for individual springs or groups range from 2 to 41\npercent. The fluctuation index is the mean deviation of the discharge rate from\nthe arithmetic mean, expressed as a percentage of the arithmetic mean. Although\nto some extent the indexes are a measure of the consistency of the record,\nthey also seem to reflect actual differences in range of discharge, and they indicate\nthat springs upstream in the Snake River valley fluctuate through a wider range\nthan do those downstream. The fluctuations are rather slow, which reflects the\nequalizing influence of the large ground-water reservoir that supplies the springs.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Government Printing Office","publisherLocation":"Washington D.C.","doi":"10.3133/wsp1463","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Reclamation","usgsCitation":"Nace, R.L., Van’t Hul, A., and McQueen, I., 1958, Records of springs in the Snake River valley, Jerome and Gooding Counties, Idaho, 1899-1947: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1463, Report: v, 62 p.

Soon after the 1951 floods on the Kansas and lower Missouri Rivers, President Truman submitted to Congress (82d Cong., 1st sess., 1951) a proposal for a national flood insurance fund. Although the proposal was not acted upon by the 82d Congree, there was considerable discussion of it in the press and in the technical literature. Among the latter were papers by Langbein (1953), Foster (1954), and by the Insurance Executive Association (1952). The paper by Langbein discussed flood insurance as a means of promoting wise use of the flood plain. Foster's paper reviewed his work for the Insurance Executive Association without, however, reaching any independent decision as to the workability of hydrologic techniques in an insurance program. The report of the Insurance Executive Association presented mainly the industries viewpoint that flood insurance is not feasible. It is interesting to note, however, that in a recent report McGuinness (1957), of the Allstate Insurance Co., says \"This position has been taken without recourse to actuarial or statistical methods which might be used to fit an insurance company's underwriting retentions to the exposures it would meet.\"

The valid incentives compelling occupation of the flood plain, up to and even into the stream channel, undoubtedly have contributed greatly to the development of the country. But the result has been a heritage of flood disaster, suffering, and enormous costs.

Flood destruction awakened a consciousness toward reduction and elimination of flood hazards, originally manifested in the protection of existing developments. More recently, increased information and realization of the problem have shown the impracticability of permitting developments that require costly flood protection. The idea of flood zoning, or flood-plain planning, has received greater impetus as a result of such realization.

This study shows how hydraulic and hydrologic data concerning the flood regimen of a stream can be used in appraising its flood potential and the risk inherent in occupation of its flood plain. The approach involves the study of flood magnitudes as recorded or computed; flood frequencies based on the experience shown by many years of gaging-station record; use of existing or computed stage-discharge relations and flood profiles; and, where required, the preparation of flood-zone maps to show the areas inundated by floods of several magnitudes and frequencies.

Methods are outlined that will enable the planner to delineate areas subject to inundation by floods of specific recurrence intervals for three conditions; (1) for the immediate vicinity of a gaging station, (2) for a gaged stream at a considerable distance from a gaging station, and (3) for an ungaged stream. Curves have been developed from which the average depth for a flood of specific frequency can be estimated on the basis of the average depth for bankfull flow; this simplified approach should be very useful in the initial stages of flood-plain planning.

Brief discussions are included on various types of flood hazards, the effects of urbanization on flood runoff, and zoning considerations.

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

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

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

Water is a fundamental geologic agent active in rock decomposition, erosion, and synthesis. Solutes in water are of particular interest to geochemists as sources of raw material for synthesis or as products of decomposition. When geochemical studies move from the laboratory into natural environment many variables relating to solute hydrology must be considered.

As a focal point there has been designed a graphical representation of solute hydrology, the solusphere, which embodies the concepts of land-water occurrence and movement on which are superimposed geologic, biologic, physical, chemical, and cultural processes affecting solutes. The solusphere is demonstrated by passing an imaginary plane through the centre of the earth. This plane intercepts concentric zones designated as rock flowage, saturation, aeration, surface activity, and atmosphere. Transport processes carry solutes within and between zones without alteration or conversion. However, whether stationary or in motion, the water's solute character is constantly subject to (1) alteration processes that change concentration by addition or subtraction of solutes or solvent without loss of solute identities, and (2) conversion processes that change the chemical state and form of solutes.

The geochemist is concerned with specific conversion processes, but he also must consider transport, alteration, and other conversion processes that are continually modifying the materials with which he is dealing in nature. The solusphere is an attempt to organize processes affecting the chemical quality of land waters into a unified field of science much like the field of marine chemistry.

Recent ground-water studies undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Carolina Division of Mineral Resources have delineated phosphorite deposits, tentatively regarded as being of middle Miocene age, in Beaufort County. These deposits lie unconforma-bly on limestone of Eocene age and are unconformably overlain by late Miocene marl. The phosphorites, buried beneath strata ranging in thickness from 45 to 250 feet, underlie an area approximating 450 square miles. The total thickness of the phosphorite column throughout the area ranges from several feet to nearly 90 feet.

The phosphorite column consists of phosphatic sands and intercalated shell limestones. The sands, composed of pellets of brown sand-size collophane (probably carbonate-fluorapatite) and sand-size, flat-sided angular quartz with some silt, clay, and organic material, have a median diameter between 0.50 and 0.25 mm. Chemical analyses of representative samples of the raw sand show a variation in PaOs content from 8 to 31 percent. The P2O5 content is apparently proportionate to the collophane content throughout the area. Reconstruction of the geologic history suggests that the phosphorites were deposited as chemical precipitates and as in situ replacements in a restricted marine basin where the pH of the water acted as the primary depositional control.

Reconstruction of the hydrologic history of the phosphorites indicates that the deposits were preserved under artesian conditions; they were never subjected to alteration under water-table conditions. The absence of postpositional alteration makes this area a potentially classic one for studies of phosphorite genesis.

Chemical analyses of artesian waters from the phosphorites and from limestones overlain by phosphorites reveal significantly greater concentrations of iodide and bromide in solution than are present in water from overlying sediments or from underlying limestones not overlain by phosphorites. Such anomalies, if present in other similar terranes, may indicate the presence of buried phosphorites. The depth and size distribution of the material suggest a recovery method utilizing wells constructed to \"pump sand.\"

Valuable hydrologic information can be obtained from statistical analysis of water‐level trends. The time‐series and the functional‐equation approaches are applied to New Jersey well records representing different hydrologic conditions. The results are valuable as concise summaries of the records, for extrapolating observed data, for interpolating between measurements, and for estimating hydrologic factors such as coefficients of transrnissibility and storage, evapotranspiration, and ground‐water discharge.

Limestone rocks are an important source of ground water in the Piedmont and Appalachian areas of Maryland. The major limestone aquifers are the Cockeysville and Wakefield marbles and the Silver Run, Tomstown, Frederick, Grove, Waynesboro, Elbrook, Conococheague, Beekmantown, Stones River, Tonoloway, Helderberg and Greenbrier formations. Drilled and dug wells and springs are common sources of water supply in the limestone areas. The depths of 298 limestone wells range from 8.7 to 1,800 feet and average about 150 feet. The yields of these wells range from 0.1 to 575 gpm. Specific capacities, or yield per foot of drawdown, range in 137 wells from 0.1 to 43 gpm per foot. Springs are common in the limestone areas and their flow varies widely at different times. Most of the known springs are of the 5th magnitude or lower, and therefore have a mean flow of less than 100 gpm. The quality of water from the limestone aquifers is satisfactory for most purposes, but is commonly hard and slightly alkaline. The limestone aquifers are large essentially untapped ground-water reservoirs whose hydrologic character is only partially understood.

The Bruneau-Grand View area is part of an artesian basin in northern Owyhee \nCounty, Idaho. The area described in this report comprises about 600 square \nmiles, largely of undeveloped public domain, much of which is open, or may be \nopened, for desert-entry filing. Many irrigation-entry applications to the Federal \nGovernment are pending, and information about ground-water geology is needed \nby local citizens and well drillers, by Federal agencies that have custody of the \nland, and by local and State agencies that administer water rights. The areal \ngeology and ground-water conditions in the Bruneau-Grand View area seemingly \ntypify several basins in southwestern Idaho, and this study is a step toward \ndefinition and analysis of regional problems in ground-water geology and the \noccurrence and availability of ground water for irrigation or other large-scale \nuses.

\n
\n

Owyhee County is subdivided physiographically into a plateau area, the Owyhee uplift, and the Snake River valley. The Bruneau-Grand View area is largely \nwithin the Snake River valley. The climate is arid and irrigation is essential \nfor stable agricultural development. Nearly all usable indigenous surface water \nin the area is appropriated, including freshet flow in the Bruneau River, which \nis used for power generation at the C. J. Strike Dam. However, with storage \nfacilities additional land could be irrigated, and some land may be irrigated with \nSnake River water if suitable reclamation projects are constructed.

\n
\n

Sedimentary and igneous rocks exposed in the area range in age from Miocene \nto Recent. The igneous rocks include silicic and basic intrusive and extrusive \nbodies, and the sedimentary rocks are compacted stream and lake sediments. \nThe rocks contain economically important artesian aquifers; the principal ones \nare volcanic rocks in which ground water is imperfectly confined beneath sediments of the Idaho formation, thus forming a leaky artesian system. The altitude \nof the piezometric surface of the artesian water does not exceed about 2,700 \nfeet above mean sea level. In some areas, where the land surface is below \nthat altitude, the artesian system discharges water through springs and seeps \nand locally causes waterlogging and development of alkali soil.

\n
\n

In chemical quality much of the water is unsuitable for irrigation and domestic \nuse. The water contains a relatively moderate amount of dissolved solids, but \nthe percent sodium and the concentration of fluoride are excessive for some \nuses. The quality of the water for irrigation ranges from excellent in the southern part of the artesian system to unsuitable in the northern part. All the \nartesian ground water that was sampled contained excessive amounts of fluoride.

\n
\n

There is a substantial supply of undeveloped artesian water in the area, but\nsustained use of the water for irrigation may not be feasible unless provisions \ncan be made for adequate soil drainage and soil amendment, because of the high \npercentage of sodium in the water. Detailed hydrologic and geologic study of \nthe area should precede development.

Basic hydrologic data available in the field offices of the U. S. Geological Survey and reports issued by the Survey furnish evidence that saline water (defined in this report as water containing more than 1,000 parts per million of dissolved solids) is available under diverse geologic and hydrologic conditions throughout the United States.

The number of areas in which undeveloped supplies of fresh water are available has diminished considerably with the rapid growth of industries and population in the past decade. Many areas previously considered to have relatively unlimited water resources have reached the point at which water-supply shortages exist or are threatened.

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

\n
\n

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

\n\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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

\n
\n

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