Placer deposits of Alaska
Edward Huntington Cobb
1972, Open-File Report 72-71
Placer deposits, in addition to their intrinsic value, serve as indicators of areas of potential development of lode deposits. Any possibility that Alaska may again become an important source of metallic mineral commodities depends in part on an inventory of placer deposits and a knowledge of the geology of their...

Appraisal of shallow ground-water resources, Pueblo Army Depot, Colorado
Frank A. Welder, R. Theodore Hurr
1972, Open-File Report 72-447
The water supply for the Pueblo Army Depot, 15 miles wast of Pueblo, Colo., is obtained from wells that tap an aquifer in terrace alluvium. Withdrawals have resulted in a water-level decline of 27 feet, which adversely affects the discharge rate of individual wells. Furthermore, excessive pumpage has resulted in...

Appraisal of stream sedimentation in the Susquehanna River basin
Kenneth F. Williams, Lloyd A. Reed
1972, Water Supply Paper 1532-F
The Susquehanna River presently transports about 3.0 million tons of sediment annually (110 tons per square mile). Only about 1.8 million tons of sediment enters the head of Chesapeake Bay annually because some sediment is trapped behind the power dams on the lower Susquehanna. Measured annual sediment yields from subbasins...
Suspended sediment yield of New Jersey coastal plain streams draining into the Delaware estuary
Lawrence J. Mansue
1972, Open-File Report 73-176
An investigation was begun in 1965 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District to meet the Corps’ need for information on sediment transport in the Delaware River basin in relation to the maintenance of navigable channels in the river 's estuarine...

Sand transport by the Eel River and its effect on nearby beaches
John R. Ritter
1972, Open-File Report 73-236
The Eel River basin has one of the largest sediment yields per unit area in the world. Sand composes about 25 percent of the total sediment transported by the river into its estuary. The annual sand load averages about 4,600,000 tons, equivalent to a deposition of about 2,100 acre-feet of...

Electrical-analog analysis of the hydrologic system, Tucson basin, southeastern Arizona
T. W. Anderson
1972, Water Supply Paper 1939-C
The water supply for the Tucson basin, Arizona, is derived entirely from ground water. The average annual pumpage for 1962-64 was about 165,000 acre-feet and was greater than the natural rate of ground-water recharge. Water-level declines of as much as 70 feet occurred from spring 1940 to spring 1965 as...
Fluvial sediment in Hocking River subwatershed 1 (North Branch Hunters Run), Ohio
R.F. Flint
1972, Water Supply Paper 1798-I
From May 1956 to May 1962, Hocking River subwatershed 1 of Upper Hocking River Pilot Watershed had an average annual sediment yield from its contributing area of 0.94 square mile of 1,195 tons per square mile. Annual suspended-sediment yield at the outlet, expressed in tons per acre-foot of outflow, decreased...

Fluvial sediment in Salem Fork watershed, West Virginia
R.F. Flint
1972, Water Supply Paper 1798-K
Suspended sediment discharged from the 8.32-square-mile Salem Fork study area in Harrison County, W. Va., averaged 3,500 tons per year during the first 4-year period of investigation and 1,770 tons per year during the second 4-year period. The difference as attributed to increased flow control, effected by the completion of...
Flood of June 1972: Allegheny River near Limestone, New York
G.K. Schultz, S. Hladio, D. A. Sherwood
1972, Open-File Report 72-340
In June 1972, tropical storm Agnes caused sever flooding in Pennsylvania and southern New York. The flood, on many major streams were the highest known since the river valleys were settled. Maximum discharges were as much as twice the discharge of a 50-year flood. In southern New York, large areas...

Water resources of Clay, Greene, Craighead, and Poinsett Counties, Arkansas
Marion S. Hines, Raymond O. Plebuch, A. G. Lamonds
1972, Hydrologic Atlas 377
Water is available in Clay, Greene, Craighead, and Poinsett Counties from ground-water and surface-water sources. However, ground water is more accessible in many places than surface water. Ground water is available from the alluvium, which covers all the area except Crowleys Ridge, and is also available from other formations below...

A reconnaissance of surface and subsurface sediments to a maximum depth of 244 feet below the sea floor shows that natural mercury anomalies from 0.2 to 1.3 ppm have been present in northeastern Bering Sea since early Pliocene. The anomalies and mean values are highest in modern beach (maximum 1.3...
