The drainage area of a river basin is an important parameter in many engineering equations used for hydrologic design. It is not a parameter, however, that always requires precise measurement. Factors in the hydrologic cycle such as rainfall, runoff, transpiration, and infiltration cannot be measured nearly as closely as drainage area. Largely for this reason, drainage areas are often measured to varying degrees of precision depending upon the immediate need, with little thought to some other use or some other user of the figure obtained. It can readily be appreciated that this practice, continued for long by many different agencies, will result in a heterogeneous collection of drainage area figures, often discordant and of an accuracy unknown to any but those who computed them.

\n
\n

Figures of drainage area published by various Federal agencies are frequently discrepant or contradictory, giving rise to confusion in the use of drainage area data. Seeking to better this situation, the Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee (FIARBC) in November 1951 published its Bulletin No. 4, Inter-Agency Coordination of Drainage Area Data.

\n
\n

That Bulletin recommended procedures to be followed by the interested Federal agencies “for coordinating drainage area data in the interest of promoting uniformity, reducing confusion and contradiction of published figures, and improving the ready availability of drainage area data pertaining to drainage basins of the United States and its possessions.”

This report describes the results of an investigation in progress and presents some tentative findings from a study of hydrology and sedimentation of three small watersheds where soil conservation practices are being applied. The study was begun in April 1954, to determine precipitation, runoff, probable sources and yields of sediment, and channel changes in two small watersheds in Pennsylvania. This report covers the period April 1954, to September 30, 1955 with the exception of the aggradation-degradation range data which covers the period October 1954 to November 1956. The internal or time control method of calibration is being used for the Bixler Run watershed study, and an external control is being used in the Corey Creek study.

Precipitation on Bixler Run watershed was 47.33 inches for the 1955 water year. Total runoff was 14.08 inches and the suspended sediment yield was 1,143.3 tons or 76 tons per square mile of drainage area. Precipitation on Corey Creek watershed for the same period totaled 35.81 inches. The total runoff was 8.37 inches and the suspended-sediment yield was 713.0 tons or 58.2 tons per square mile of drainage area. The precipitation on Elk Run, external control watershed for the Corey Creek study was 34.54 inches. The runoff was 10.10 inches and the suspended sediment yield was 709.9 tons or 69.5 tons per square mile.

Results from the study of channel changes by means of sediment aggradation-degradation ranges showed fill in all three watersheds. Bixler Run showed an average channel fill of 1.3 square feet per stream cross section. Corey Creek and Elk Run watersheds showed average fills of 2.9 and 4.1 square feet per cross section respectively. Most of the sediments comprising this fill were in the particle size range of gravel and coarser material.

The water in all three watersheds was low in dissolved solids during the period of investigation, varying from 72 to 127 ppm in Bixler Run, from 58 to 130 ppm in Corey Creek, and from 58 to 117 ppm in Elk Run. These waters are essentially of the secondary alkaline type with calcium and magnesium bicarbonate being the main dissolved constituents.

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.

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

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.

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 purpose of this report is to summarize data on the use of water in the Delaware Basin Project area (fig. 2) and to list the principal data sources that are available in published form. The tables and bibliography will assist Geological Survey personnel assigned to the Delaware Basin Project in evaluating the scope and deficiencies of previous studies of the basin. Information is also given on the use of water by public supplies in the New York-New Jersey region comprising the New York City Metropolitan Area and in the remaining north-central and south-eastern parts of New Jersey. These regions may depend increasingly on water from the Delaware River basin for part of their public supplies.

The Geological Survey has the responsibility for appraising and describing the water resources of the Nation as a guide to use, development, control, and conservation of these resources. Cooperative Federal-State water-resources investigations in the Delaware Basin States have been carried on the the Geological Survey for more than 50 years. In July 1956 the Survey began the \"Delaware Basin Project,\" a hydrologic study of the Delaware River basin in order to: 1) Determine present status and trends in water availability, quality, and use, 2) assess and improve the adequacy of the Survey's basic water data program in the basin, 3) interpret and evaluate the water-resources data in terms of past and possible future water-use and land-use practices, and 4) disseminate promptly the results of this investigation for the benefit of all interested agencies and the general public. The Geological Survey is working closely with the U.S. Corps of Engineers and other cooperating Federal and State agencies in providing water data which will contribute to the present coordinated investigation aimed at developing a plan for long-range water development in the Delaware River basin.

\n

Estimates of quantities of water used are given for water withdrawn from streams and aquifers during calendar year 1955, as compiled or estimated from publications and manuscripts prepared between 1950 and 1956. All quantities are given in millions of gallons per day (mgd). The source of the water used, ground or surface, and the type of use to which is was put -- public supply, industrial supply, irrigation, or rural use -- is given. Use of water for hydroelectric power was not compiled for this report. Most tables in this report do not subdivide withdrawals into fresh and saline water; however, most supplies are fresh, except some of those withdrawn directly from the Delaware River downstream from Philadelphia, Pa. All quantities are expressed as an average rate for a full year and are lower, therefore, than rates resulting from the increased demand for water during the summer for air conditioning and supplemental irrigation.

\n
\n

The primary emphasis of this study was to get an over-all picture of water use throughout large parts of the basin. Therefore, publications relating to a dingle city or county, other than New York City, seldom were used; revisions and refinement based on such sources of information are best made by the field personnel most familiar with locally filed publications and published data.

At the request of the United States Forest Service, the Ground Water Branch of the United Stated Geological Survey made a reconnaissance of the geologic features and water resources of the Dora Belle Campground in Sierra National Forest on the shore of Shaver Lake, Fresno County, California.

\n
\n

Basically, the water-supply problem at Dora Belle Campground is that the present supply obtained from a spring is not adequate to meet the present summer demand, and is of poor quality. Plans call for a considerable increase in camping facilities.. This, it is imperative that the present supply be augmented or, preferably, be replaced entirely. the Forest Service estimated the future peak demand to be about 25,00 gallons per day.

On October 28, 1957, the writer examined the are in the company of C. H. Fankboner, Assistant Forest Engineer, Sierra National Forest, and Ben Dix, Construction and Maintenance Foreman, Pine Ridge District. Field work, done on October 28th and 29th, consisted of a brief geologic reconnaissance to determine the rock types and geologic structure, and a hydrologic reconnaissance consisting of a partial inventory of water walls and springs in the vicinity of the campground. A spring box near the western edge of Bell Diamond Meadow was pumped out with a Forest Service pump truck to determine its rate of recovery and potential production.

The drainage area of a stream at a specified location ordinarily may be defined as that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is enclosed by a topographic divide such that direct surface runoff from precipitation would drain by gravity into the river basin above the specified point.

\n

One of the most important factors in the hydrologic computation for the design of structures on or over watercourses is the drainage area upstream from the point under consideration. Other hydrologic studies such as low-flow, flood-frequency analyses, rainfall-runoff correlations, stream density, and area-distance make use of this factor as a basic premise for computation.

\n

In order that the drainage-area information of the interior streams of Iowa be of uniform accuracy and available to all users of these data, this report has been compiled, and the drainage areas of all streams in excess of 5 square mies are listed. For the larger streams, drainage areas have been determined at numerous intermediate points. As a result of this report much basic background material has been compiled that will he useful in future hydrologic studies of drainage basin characteristics.

\n

This publication is limited to the presentation of the drainage-area data for the interior streams of the State. The methods of application of these data to the study of streamflow characteristics, and the design of related structures are properly the function of the design engineer and are not discussed herein.

The proposed method embodies a barium sulfate carrier precipitation, filtration through molecular filter membranes, and collection of activity after prescribed aging period. The method is sufficiently accurate and precise to indicate the potability of water and for use in general studies of radium in chemical hydrology. Amounts of radium as low as 0.1 μμc. can be detected by using 1 -hour counting times. Radium-226 is used as the standard and the results indicate about 100 to 110 % of the activity of the alpha-emitting radium isotopes as radium-223, radium-224, and radium-226.

S. Geological Survey of chemical quality of surface waters and sedimentation in the Wind River Basin, Wyo. The sedimentation study was begun in 1946 to determine the quantity of sediment that is transported by the streams in the basin; the probable sources of the sediment; the effect of large irrigation projects on sediment yield, particularly along Fivemile Creek; and the probable specific weight of the sediment when initially deposited in a reservoir. The study of the chemical quality of the water was begun in 1945 to obtain information on the sources, nature, and amounts of dissolved material that is transported by streams and on the suitability of the waters for different uses. Phases of geology and hydrology pertinent to the sedimentation and chemical quality were studied. Results of the investigation through September 30, 1952, and some special studies that were made during the 1953 and 1954 water years are reported. \r\n\r\nThe rocks in the Wind River Basin are granite, schist, and gneiss of Precambrian age and a thick series of sedimentary strata that range in age from Cambrian to Recent. Rocks of Precambrian and Paleozoic age are confined to the mountains, rocks of Mesozoic age crop out along the flank of the Wind River and Owl Creek Mountains and in denuded anticlines in the floor of the basin, and rocks of Tertiary age cover the greater part of the floor of the basin. Deposits of debris from glaciers are in the mountains, and remnants of gravel-capped terraces of Pleistocene age are on the floor of the basin. The lateral extent and depth of alluvial deposits of Recent age along all the streams are highly variable. \r\n\r\nThe climate of the floor of the basin is arid. The foothills probably receive a greater amount of intense rainfall than the areas at lower altitudes. Most precipitation in the Wind River Mountains falls as snow. The foothill sections, in general, are transitional zones between the cold, humid climate of the high mountains and the warmer, drier climate of the basin floor. \r\n\r\nAverage annual runoff in the basin is about 3.6 inches on the basis of adjusted streamflow records for the Bighorn River near Thermopolis. Runoff from the mountains is high and is mostly from melting of snow and from spring and early summer rains. It does not vary greatly from year to year because annual water losses are small in comparison to annual precipitation. In the areas on the floor of the basin, where runoff is low, the runoff is mostly the result of storms in late spring and early summer. The annual water losses nearly equal the annual precipitation; therefore, runoff is extremely variable, in terms of percentage changes, from year to year and from point to point during any 1 year.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1373","usgsCitation":"Colby, B.R., Hembree, C., and Rainwater, F.H., 1956, Sedimentation and chemical quality of surface waters in the Wind River basin, Wyoming: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1373, x, 336 p. :ill., maps (12 folded in pocket) ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1373.","productDescription":"x, 336 p. :ill., maps (12 folded in pocket) ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":137362,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":25976,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-01.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25977,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-02.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25978,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-03.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25979,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-04.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25980,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-05.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25981,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-06.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25982,"rank":406,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-07.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25983,"rank":407,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-08.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25984,"rank":408,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-09.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25985,"rank":409,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-10.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25986,"rank":410,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-11.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25987,"rank":411,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/plate-12.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":25988,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1373/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4883e4b07f02db5181b2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Colby, B.

Indiana's lakes are a valuable resource for both recreational use and their industrial potential. Some lakes are used for water supply.

\n

The natural lakes are glacial in origin and are most concentrated in northeastern Indiana. Many of the lakes were drained by the early settlers. The natural processes of sedimentation ad accumulation of organic deposits tend also to reduce the number and size of lakes. The trend toward fewer lakes has been reversed in recent years by the construction of artificial lakes; the number of lakes has increased from a little over 500 in 1800 to 1,000 at the present time.

\n

The recreational value of the lakes and the desirability of maintaining constant lake level led to legislation relative to the establishment of legal lake levels and to a program of lake-level observations, supplemented by the collection of hydrologic data affecting lake levels.

\n

Observations of both surface temperature and temperature profile were made by investigates as early as 1875. The earlier data and data collected since 1946 have been analyzed to show the fluctuation of temperature with season, depth of water, size of lake, and other influencing factors. Surface temperature, which may vary several degrees within a 24-hour period, fluctuate with air temperature and reach highs of about 85°F in August. The bottom temperature of lakes more than 100 feet deep seldom rise above 45°F. Subsurface water temperatures below ice cover reach a uniform value of about 39°F except that just below the ice which remains closely 32°F. During summer, temperature stratification is established as the lake warms. Shallow lakes reach temperature extremes about 5°F above and below those of deep lakes. Size of the contributing drainage area, surface area of the lake, and flow through the lake have little effect on water temperatures below a depth of about 20 feet. Little aquatic life exists below depths of 30 feet from mid April to mid September owing to a lack of oxygen in the water. Large amounts of cool water, 50 to 10 degrees cooler than groundwater which averages 50°F to 55°F in northern Indiana, are available in the lower portions of the deep lakes. 

\n

Evapotranspiration accounts for the disposal of about 70 percent of the precipitation in Indiana. During a year's time evaporation from the lake surface about equals the precipitation falling on the lake. During dry periods evaporation from a lake may exceed the inflow from small drainage areas and cause a lowering of lake levels. For the period April through October, evaporation as measure in a class A land pan of the U. S. Weather Bureau has averaged 44 inches at Evansville, 34 inches at Indianapolis, and 31 inches at Valpariso. A coefficient of about 0.7 is usually applied to yearly evaporation data from Class A land pans to obtain equivalent evaporation from lake surfaces.

\n

Ice cover on the lakes extends from about December 15 to March 15 and reaches thickness of 24 to 30 inches during colder winters. Ice can be damaging to the lakeside installations by thrust action of by the wind action on ice cakes.

\n

The stabilization of lake levels often requires the construction of outlet control structures. A detailed study of past lake-level elevations and other hydologic date is necessary to establish a level that can be maintained and to determine the means necessary for maintaining the established level. Detailed lake-level records for 28 lakes are included in the report, and records for over 100 other lakes data are available in the U.S. Geological Survey Office, Indianapolis, Ind. Evaporation data from the four Class A evaporation station of the U. S. Weather Bureau have been compiled in this report. A table showing the established legal lake level and related data is included.

However, local and regional problems resulting \nfrom salt-water encroachment in the streams and persistent declines of the groundwater \nlevels in certain areas during . drought periods have caused some concern regarding \nthe future water supply of the region. · In order to appraise the situation, to provide hydrologic \ninformation basic to development of the area, and to provide a basis for sound plans \nfor alleviating recurrent dry-year losses, a study of the ground-water resources of the area \nwas begun in 1938 through cooperation with the Louisiana Geological Survey, Department \nof Conservation. An intensive investigation comprising ground-water, surface-water, and \nquality-of-water studies was authorized in 1948 in cooperation with the Louisiana Department \nof Public Works, and was completely under' way before the 1949 irrigation season. \nThe studies were carried through the irrigation season of 1951.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Government Printing

Reservoir storage facilities in the United States play an important part in the national economy. Storage facilities have enabled the country to utilize to a much fuller extent one of the most valuable natural resources: water. During recent years the construction of reservoirs has continued at a high rate. This report shows the status of these facilities on January 1, 1954, and describes briefly some of the reasons for growth of reservoir facilities in the United States.

Descriptive data are given for reservoirs having a capacity of 5, 000 acre-feet or more and for natural lakes having a usable capacity of 5,000 acre-feet or more. Included are reservoirs and lakes completed as of January 1, 1954, and reservoirs under construction on that date. The total number of such reservoirs and lakes is 1, 300.

A descriptive list of reservoirs in the United States was first published by the United States Geological Survey in March 1948. That report, Geological Survey Circular 23, entitled Reservoirs in the United States, included reservoirs completed as of January 1, 1947. Since January 1, 1947, reservoirs representing a total usable capacity of 115,000,000 acre-feet, or an increase of 71 percent, have been constructed or are under construction. Data about these new reservoirs are presented herein, and the data shown for reservoirs constructed before 1947 have been corrected on the basis of the latest available survey to determine reservoir capacity.

The total usable capacity of reservoirs and lakes included in this compilation amounts to 278, 120, 000 acre-feet, and the corresponding surface area totals 11, 046, 000 acres.
