Factors initiating phytoplankton blooms and resulting effects on dissolved oxygen in Duwamish River estuary, Seattle, Washington
Eugene Brummer Welch
1969, Water Supply Paper 1873-A
Phytoplankton productivity, standing stock, and related environmental factors were studied during 1964-66 in the Duwamish River estuary, at Seattle, Wash., to ascertain the factors that affect phytoplankton growth in the estuary; a knowledge of these factors in turn permits the detection and evaluation of the influence that effluent nutrients have...

Solubility of aluminum in the presence of hydroxide, fluoride, and sulfate
Charles Elmer Roberson, John David Hem
1969, Water Supply Paper 1827-C
The total concentration of aqueous dissolved species of aluminum that will be present in equilibrium with microcrystalline gibbsite at various levels of complexing ligand concentration are shown graphically. The graphs can be used to estimate aluminum solubility, at 25?C and 1 atmosphere total pressure, when the pH of the solution,...
Feasibility study of the use of the acoustic velocity meter for measurement of net outflow from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California
Winchell Smith
1969, Water Supply Paper 1877
A reliable measure of the fresh-water outflow from the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta is needed for the operation of the California Water Project and for the evaluation of the interrelated water problems of the delta and San Francisco Bay regions. The Chipps Island channel, immediately downstream from the confluence of the...
Ground-water resources of the Lambayeque Valley, Department of Lambayeque, northern Peru
Stuart L. Schoff, M. Juan Luis Sayan
1969, Water Supply Paper 1663-F
Ground water in the Lambayeque Valley has been developed mainly for irrigation of sugarcane and rice. The locality is on the coastal plain of northern Peru, about 650 km (kilometers) northwest of Lima, the national capital. The area considered in this study is about 1,670 sq km (square kilometers) and...

Evaluation and control of corrosion and encrustation in tube wells of the Indus Plains, West Pakistan
Frank Eldridge Clarke, Ivan Barnes
1969, Water Supply Paper 1608-L
Seepage from rivers and irrigation canals has contributed to waterlogging and soil salinization problems in much of the Indus Plains of West Pakistan. These problems are being overcome in part by tube-well dewatering and deep leaching of salinized soils. The ground waters described here are anaerobic and some are supersaturated...
Floods of June 1965 in South Platte River basin, Colorado
Howard Frederick Matthai
1969, Water Supply Paper 1850-B
Heavy, intense rains in three areas on three different days caused outstanding floods on many streams in the South Platte River basin from Plum Creek, just south of Denver, downstream to the Colorado-Nebraska State line. The flood-producing storms followed a relatively wet period, and rainfall of as much as 14...
Geohydrology and water utilization in the Willcox Basin, Graham and Cochise Counties, Arizona
S. G. Brown, Herbert H. Schumann
1969, Water Supply Paper 1859-F
The Willcox basin is an area of interior drainage in the northern part of Sulphur Springs Valley, Cochise and Graham Counties, Ariz. The basin comprises about 1,500 square miles, of which the valley floor occupies about 950 square miles. The basin probably formed during middle and late Tertiary time, when...
Stage-discharge characteristics of a Weir in a sand-channel stream
Don D. Gonzalez, C.H. Scott, James K. Culbertson
1969, Water Supply Paper 1898-A
A unique relation between water-surface elevation and water discharge usually does not exist for sand-channel streams. The relation is affected by changes in bed roughness and changes in bed elevation because of scour and fill. An artificial control on a sand-channel stream must control both the resistance to flow and...
Water resources of Randolph and Lawrence Counties, Arkansas
A. G. Lamonds, Marion S. Hines, Raymond O. Plebuch
1969, Water Supply Paper 1879-B
Water is used at an average rate of almost 27 million gallons per day in Randolph and Lawrence Counties, and quantities sufficient for any foreseeable use are available. Supplies for the large uses--municipal, industrial, and irrigation--can best be obtained from wells in .he Coastal Plain part of the counties and...
Water resources of the Salmon Falls Creek basin, Idaho-Nevada
E. G. Crosthwaite
1969, Water Supply Paper 1879-D
The northern part of the Salmon Falls Creek basin, referred to as the Salmon Falls tract, contains a large acreage of good agricultural land, but the surface-water supply is inadequate to develop the area fully. Attempts to develop ground water for irrigation have been successful only locally. Specific capacities of...
Water resources of the Sycamore Creek watershed, Maricopa County, Arizona
B. W. Thomsen, Herbert H. Schumann
1969, Water Supply Paper 1861
The Sycamore Creek watershed is representative of many small watersheds in the Southwest where much of the streamflow originates in the mountainous areas and disappears rather quickly into the alluvial deposits adjacent to the mountains. Five years of .streamflow records from the Sycamore Creek watershed show that an average annual...

Water quality and discharge of streams in the Lehigh River Basin, Pennsylvania
Edward F. McCarren, Walter B. Keighton
1969, Water Supply Paper 1879-H
The Lehigh River, 100 miles long, is the second largest tributary to the Delaware River. It drains 1,364 square miles in four physiographic provinces. The Lehigh River basin includes mountainous and forested areas, broad agricultural valleys and areas of urban and industrial development. In the headwaters the water is of...
Occurrence and distribution of molybdenum in the surface water of Colorado
Paul Thomas Voegeli, Robert Ugstad King
1969, Water Supply Paper 1535-N
Molybdenum was detected in 89 percent of the samples collected from all the principal Colorado streams and their chief tributaries and from a few reservoirs and lakes. Amounts detected ranged from 1 to 3,800 micrograms per liter. The greatest amounts of molybdenum detected were in samples from the Colorado River...
