Determination of platinum and palladium in geological materials by neutron-activation analysis after fire-assay preconcentration
J.J. Rowe, F.O. Simon
1971, Talanta (18) 121-125
Fire-asay preconcentration followed by neutron-activation analysis permits the determination of as little as 0.5 ppM of platinum and 0.5 ppM of palladium on a 20-g sample. Platinum and palladium are separated with carriers and beta-counted. Results for the platinum and palladium content of seven U.S.G.S. standard...

Geological Survey vertical aerial photography is obtained primarily for topographic and geologic mapping. Reproductions from this photography are usually satisfactory for general use. Because reproductions are not stocked, but are custom processed for each order, they cannot be returned for credit or refund....
Surface water supply of the United States, 1961-65, Part 13. Snake River basin
1971, Water Supply Paper 1934
This volume is one of a series of 37 reports presenting records of stage, discharge, and content, of streams, lakes, and reservoirs in the United States during the 1961-65 water years. Since 1888, when the U.S. Geological Survey first studied streamflow in relation to problems of irrigation, similar records have been obtained at...
Effects of Grazing on the Hydrology and Biology of the Badger Wash Basin in Western Colorado, 1953-66
Gregg C. Lusby, O.D. Knipe
1971, Water Supply Paper 1532-D
An intensive study of the effect of grazing on the hydrologic and biotic characteristics of small drainage basins on the Colorado Plateau was begun in the fall of 1953. This report presents data obtained during the first 13 years of the proposed 20-year study. For the period of record 1954-66,...

Prospects for developing stock - Water supplies from wells in northeastern Garfield County, Montana
M. C. Van Lewen, Norman Julius King
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-F
Ground-water resources in northeastern Garfield County, Mont., afford a practical and reliable source of stock water on the intermingled public and private grazing lands that together comprise an area of about 1,200 square miles. The oldest formation exposed in the area is the relatively thick and impermeable Bearpaw Shale of...

The water quality of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, eastern Texas
Jack Rawson, Myra W. Lansford
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-J
Inflow of wastes to the Angelina River has caused some local deterioration of the quality of water downstream from Lufkin. However, the volume of flow in the Angelina River has been adequate to prevent serious deterioration of the quality of water in Sam Rayburn Reservoir. From March 1965 to September 1968,...
Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells - A selective annotated bibliography
Donald Robert Rima, Edith B. Chase, Beverly M. Myers
1971, Water Supply Paper 2020
Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells is the practice of using drilled wells to inject unwanted substances into underground rock formations. The use of wells for this purpose is not a new idea. As long ago as the end of the last century, it was common practice to drill...

Underground storage of imported water in the San Gorgonio Pass area, southern California
Richard M. Bloyd
1971, Water Supply Paper 1999-D
The San Gorgonio Pass ground-water basin is divided into the Beaumont, Banning, Cabazon, San Timoteo, South Beaumont, Banning Bench, and Singleton storage units. The Beaumont storage unit, centrally located in the agency area, is the largest in volume of the storage units. Estimated long-term average annual precipitation in the San...

Hydrology and sedimentation of Corey Creek and Elk Run basins, north-central Pennsylvania
Lloyd A. Reed
1971, Water Supply Paper 1532-E
Analysis of data collected from two small agricultural basins in northcehtral Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1967 indicates that conservation measures reduced the quantity of suspended sediment leaving the Corey Creek basin as a result of frequent storms during the growing season. Extensive soil conservation treatments were...

Ground-water hydrology of the San Pitch River drainage basin, Sanpete County, Utah
Gerald B. Robinson Jr.
1971, Water Supply Paper 1896
The San Pitch River drainage basin in central Utah comprises an area of about 850 square miles; however, the investigation was concerned primarily with the Sanpete and Arapien Valleys, which comprise about 250 square miles and contain the principal ground-water reservoirs in the basin. Sanpete Valley is about 40 miles...
