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...
Flood information for flood-plain planning
Conrad D. Bue
1967, Circular 539
Floods are natural and normal phenomena. They are catastrophic simply because man occupies the flood plain, the highwater channel of a river. Man occupies flood plains because it is convenient and profitable to do so, but he must purchase his occupancy at a price-either sustain flood damage, or provide flood-control...
Distribution of gold, tellurium, silver, and mercury in part of the Cripple Creek district, Colorado
Garland Bayard Gott, J. H. McCarthy, G.H. Van Sickle, J. B. McHugh
1967, Circular 543
Geochemical exploration studies were undertaken in the Cripple Creek district to test the possibility that large low-grade gold deposits might be found. Surface rock samples taken throughout the district indicate that the volcanic rocks between the productive veins contain an average of about 0.6 ppm (part per million) gold. In...
Determination of phenoxy acid herbicides in water by electron-capture and microcoulometric gas chromatography
D.F. Goerlitz, William L. Lamar
1967, Water Supply Paper 1817-C
A sensitive gas chromatographic method using microcoulometric titration and electron-capture detection for the analysis of 2,4-D, silvex, 2,4,5-T, and other phenoxy acid herbicides in water is described. The herbicides are extracted from unfiltered water samples (800-1,000 ml) by use of ethyl ether ; then the herbicides are concentrated and esterilied....
Summary of hydrologic and physical properties of rock and soil materials, as analyzed by the hydrologic laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey, 1948-60
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...
A simple mercury vapor detector for geochemical prospecting
William W. Vaughn
1967, Circular 540
The detector utilizes a large-volume atomic-absorption technique for quantitative determinations of mercury vapor thermally released from crushed rock. A quartz-enclosed noble-metal amalgamative stage, which is temperature controlled and is actuated by a radio-frequency induction heater, selectively traps the mercury and eliminates low-level contamination. As little as 1 part per billion...
Development of ground-water supplies at Mississippi test facility, Hancock County, Mississippi
Roy Newcome
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-H
Potable and industrial water supplies at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Mississippi Test Facility in Hancock County, Miss., are obtained from large-capacity wells that tap southward-dipping water-bearing sands of Miocene and Pliocene age. The fresh-water-bearing section is 2,000-3,000 feet thick in the area, and individual aquifers are as thick...
Geohydrology of the Souris River Valley in the vicinity of Minot, North Dakota
Wayne A. Pettyjohn
1967, Water Supply Paper 1844
The Minot area is in the north-central part of North Dakota and includes part of the Souris River valley. The region is covered by glacial drift of late Wisconsin age except in small areas where the Fort Union Formation of Tertiary age crops out. Thickness of the drift is controlled...
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...
Swatara Creek basin of southeastern Pennsylvania: An evaluation of its hydrologic system
Wilbur Tennant Stuart, William J. Schneider, James W. Crooks
1967, Water Supply Paper 1829
Local concentrations of population in the Swatara Creek basin of Pennsylvania find it necessary to store, transport, and treat water because local supplies are either deficient or have been contaminated by disposal of wastes in upstream areas. Water in the basin is available for the deficient areas and for dilution...
