Water for the growing needs of Harrison County, Mississippi
Roy Newcome Jr., Donald E. Shattles, Carney P. Humphreys Jr.
1968, Water Supply Paper 1856
The potential for water-supply development in Harrison County is almost unlimited. During an average year, more than 350 billion gallons of water flow into the Gulf of Mexico from the streams of the county. With storage reservoirs these streams have a potential sustained supply of hundreds of millions of. gallons...
Electrical analog analysis of ground-water depletion in central Arizona
T. W. Anderson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1860
The Salt River Valley and the lower Santa Cruz River basin are the two largest agricultural areas in Arizona. The extensive use of ground water for irrigation has resulted in the need for a thorough appraisal of the present and future ground-water resources. The ground-water reservoir provides 80 percent (3.2...

Storage requirements for Arkansas streams
James Lee Patterson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-G
The supply of good-quality surface water in Arkansas is abundant. owing to seasonal and annual variability of streamflow, however, storage must be provided to insure dependable year-round supplies in most of the State. Storage requirements for draft rates that are as much as 60 percent of the mean annual flow...

Hydrology of Crater, East and Davis Lakes, Oregon; with section on Chemistry of the Lakes
Kenneth N. Phillips, A. S. Van Denburgh
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-E
Crater, East, and Davis Lakes are small bodies of fresh water that occupy topographically closed basins in Holocene volcanic terrane. Because the annual water supply exceeds annual evaporation, water must be lost by seepage from each lake. The seepage rates vary widely both in volume and in percentage of the...
Water-mineral relations of Quaternary deposits in the Lower Platte River drainage area in eastern Nebraska
Ivan Barnes, Ray Bentall
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-D
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), the degree of saturation with respect to calcite (IAP/K calcite), the pH, and the concentrations of selected constituents in solution were determined for water from 52 wells and the Platte River. Compared to the PCO2 in the atmosphere, the average PCO2 in the...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States; part 1-B. North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River
Richard H. Tice
1968, Water Supply Paper 1672
Flood magnitude-frequency relation applicable to streams in the North Atlantic slope basins, New York to York River, Va., are presented in this report. The relations are based on flood data collected at 487 gaging stations having 5 or more years of record not materially affected by regulation. For sites on most...
Analysis of water quality of the Mahoning River in Ohio
Gene A. Bednar, Charles R. Collier, William Perry Cross
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-C
The Mahoning River drains the densely populated and industrialized Warren-Youngstown area in northeastern Ohio. Significant chemical constituents and physical properties generally regarded as important in establishing water-quality standards for the Mahoning River are evaluated on the basis of hydrologic conditions and water use. Most of the interpretations and the appraisal...
Flow pattern and related chemical quality of ground water in the "500-foot" sand in the Memphis area, Tennessee
Edwin Allen Bell, Dale J. Nyman
1968, Water Supply Paper 1853
The '500-foot' sand is the major source of water supply for the Memphis area. Thick layers of impervious clay above and below the sand confine the water in the aquifer under artesian pressure and also protect the aquifer from contamination. Recharge from rainfall enters the '500-foot' sand in the outcrop,...

This report lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Colorado River basin for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods through September 30, 1967. It supersedes Geological Survey Circular 509....
Interpreting pan-concentrate analysis of stream sediments in geochemical exploration for gold
Richard Philip Fischer, Frederick S. Fisher
1968, Circular 592
A study of methods of collecting and processing samples to determine whether or not gold is present in areas of moderate size was undertaken in the northwestern part of the San Juan Mountains, Colo. As part of this study, 57 samples of pan concentrates were taken from streams draining three...
An atomic-absorption method for the determination of gold in large samples of geologic materials
Gordon H. VanSickle, Hubert William Lakin
1968, Circular 561
A laboratory method for the determination of gold in large (100-gram) samples has been developed for use in the study of the gold content of placer deposits and of trace amounts of gold in other geologic materials. In this method the sample is digested with bromine and ethyl ether, the...
