Form and stability of aluminum hydroxide complexes in dilute solution
John David Hem, Charles Elmer Roberson
1967, Water Supply Paper 1827-A
Laboratory studies of solutions 4.53 x 10 -4 to 4.5 x 10 -5 molal (12.2-1.2 ppm) in aluminum, in 0.01 molal sodium perchlorate, were conducted to obtain information as to the probable behavior of aluminum in natural water. When the solutions were brought to pH 7.5-9.5 and allowed to stand...

D. A. Morris, A.I. Johnson
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-D
The Hydrologic Laboratory was established in 1948 to serve as the central testing laboratory for the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey. Since then, thousands of samples of rock and soil materials have been analyzed in the laboratory. Analytical data on samples from 42 States and for the...

Geology and ground-water resources of Laramie County, Wyoming
Marlin E. Lowry, Marvin A. Crist, John R. Tilstra
1967, Water Supply Paper 1834
Laramie County, an area of 2,709 square miles, is in the southeast corner of Wyoming. Rocks exposed there range in age from Precambrian to Recent. The most extensive aquifers in the county are the White River Formation of Oligocene age, which is as much as 500 feet thick and consists...
Definition of stage-discharge relation in natural channels by step-backwater analysis
James F. Bailey, H.A. Ray
1967, Water Supply Paper 1869-A
The step-backwater method was investigated as a technique for defining the upper part of stage-discharge relation in a natural channel. State-discharge relations at 28 sites were computed by using this technique and compared with corresponding stage-discharge relations defined by current-meter measurements. In general, the agreement is remarkably good, and the...
Water requirements of the iron and steel industry
Faulkner B. Walling, Louis Ethelbert Otts Jr.
1967, Water Supply Paper 1330-H
Twenty-nine steel plants surveyed during 1957 and 1958 withdrew from various sources about 1,400 billion gallons of water annually and produced 40.8 million tons of ingot steel. This is equivalent to about 34,000 gallons of water per ton of steel. Fifteen iron ore mines and fifteen ore concentration plants together...
Causes of fluctuations in the rate of discharge of Clear Lake Springs, Millard County, Utah
R. W. Mower
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-E
The Clear Lake Springs in southeastern Millard County are the source of water for the maintenance of the Clear Lakes Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. Seasonal declines in the rate of discharge were noted during 1959-60.Fluctuations in the flow of Clear Lake Springs are caused both by natural variations in the quantity...
Availability of ground water in York County, Nebraska
Charles Franklin Keech, V. H. Dreeszen, Philip A. Emery
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-F
York County, an area of 575 square miles, is situated on an upland plain in southeast Nebraska. Although tributaries of the Big Blue River have eroded valleys into this plain, much of the original surface is still intact and is characterized by broad shallow undrained depressions. The economy is based...

Reconnaissance of the chemical quality of surface waters of the Neches River basin, Texas
Leon S. Hughes, Donald K. Leifeste
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-A
The kinds and quantities of minerals dissolved in the surface water of the Neches River basin result from such environmental factors as geology, streamflow patterns and characteristics, and industrial influences. As a result of high rainfall in the basin, much of the readily soluble material has been leached from the...

A comparison of methods of estimating potential evapotranspiration from climatological data in arid and subhumid environments
R.W. Cruff, T. H. Thompson
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-M
This study compared potential evapotranspiration, computed from climatological data by each of six empirical methods, with pan evaporation adjusted to equivalent lake evaporation by regional coefficients. The six methods tested were the Thornthwaite, U.S. Weather Bureau (a modification of the Permian method), Lowry-Johnson, Blaney-Criddle, Lane, and Hamon methods. The test...

Specific yield: compilation of specific yields for various materials
A.I. Johnson
1967, Water Supply Paper 1662-D
Specific yield is defined as the ratio of (1) the volume of water that a saturated rock or soil will yield by gravity to (2) the total volume of the rock or soft. Specific yield is usually expressed as a percentage. The value is not definitive, because the quantity of...

Roughness characteristics of natural channels
Harry Hawthorne Barnes
1967, Water Supply Paper 1849
Color photographs and descriptive data are presented for 50 stream channels for which roughness coefficients have been determined. All hydraulic computations involving flow in open channels require an evaluation of the roughness characteristics of the channel. In the absence of a satisfactory quantitative procedure this evaluation remains chiefly an art....
