Cloudburst floods in Utah, 1939-69
Elmer Butler, Ray E. Marsell
1972, Report
During 1939-69, 836 cloudburst floods were reported in Utah. The largest number was in 1965, when 88 floods were reported; 63 floods were reported in 1968, and 56 were reported in 1961. The smallest number of floods reported was three in 1944. In 1942, 1948, and 1950, six floods were...
Ground-water outflow from Chino Basin, Upper Santa Ana Valley, southern California
James J. French
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-G
Ground-water outflow from Chino basin was calculated ,by a direct method using the equation Q = PIA, in which Q is the quantity of ground-water outflow, P is the average coefficient of permeability of the sediments through which the flow occurs, I is the average hydraulic gradient, and A is...
Effect of certain anesthetic agents on mallard ducks
D.R. Cline, R. J. Greenwood
1972, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (161) 624-633
Four anesthetic agents used in human or veterinary medicine and 3 experimental anesthetic preparations were evaluated for effectiveness in inducing narcosis when administered orally to game-farm mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).Tribromoethanol was the only compound to satisfy criteria of initial tests. Mean duration of the induction, immobilization, and recovery periods was...
Hydraulic tests in hole UAe-6h, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1972, Report
Inflatable straddle packers were used to isolate and test 14 intervals ranging from 39 to 258 meters (127 to 846 feet) each in hole UAe-6h. Packer seats were poor in part of the hole because of unstable wall conditions. Thus, some zones had to be tested several times. The static...
Water inflow into hole UA-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance, W.A. Beetem
1972, Report
Chemical composition of water samples, temperature of inflow water, and theoretical calculations were compared to evaluate the water-contributing intervals to the zone to be mined--1,782.8 to 1,798.6 meters (5,849 to 5,901 feet)--in hole UA-1, Amchitka Island, Alaska. Chemical composition and temperature of inflow water indicated the contributing zones to have...
Foreign literature and translations in earth science
Frank T. Manheim
1972, Conference Paper, Toward the development of a geoscience information system : a symposium : proceedings of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Geoscience Information Society, November 1, 1971, Washington, D.C.
More than 50 percent of the total abstracted geologic literature is in Russian, followed by English at about 30 percent, and French, German, and Japanese from about 8 to 2 percent. Communist Chinese publications ceased as a result of the Cultural Revolution and have not resumed. Less than 2 percent...
Determination of channel capacity of the Mokelumne River downstream from Camanche Dam, San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties, California
R.G. Simpson
1972, Report
This study evaluates the adequacy of a 39-mile reach of the Mokelumne River in San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties, California, to carry planned flood releases between Camanche Reservoir and the Bensons Ferry Bridge near Thornton. The flood releases from Camanche Reservoir are to be restricted, insofar as possible, so that...

Geographic variations in the hardness of water seem to parallel the geographic variations in certain cardiovascular diseases (Anderson and others, 1969; Biorck and others, 1965; Schroeder, 1966). Winton and McCabe (1970) have...
The Fe-Sb-S system
Paul B. Barton Jr.
1971, Economic Geology (66) 121-132
The phase relations in the Fe-Sb-S system from 300° to 800° C have been determined using new experimental data on phase assemblages and univariant equilibria in conjunction with information from the literature. Estimates have been made for the standard free energies of formation as a...

Nonthermal springs of Utah
J. C. Mundorff
1971, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 16
Data are presented for about 4,500 nonthermal springs that discharge in the State of Utah. Most major springs having discharge of several cubic feet per second or more are in or near mountain ranges or plateaus where precipitation is much greater than in other parts of the State. The largest...
