Fluvial sediment of the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri
Paul Robert Jordan
1965, Water Supply Paper 1802
An investigation of the fluvial sediment of the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Mo., was begun in 1948. Most data have been obtained only to determine the daily suspended-sediment discharge and the particle-size distribution of suspended sediment and bed material, but a few data have been obtained to study the...
Determination of uranium in natural waters
Franklin Butt Barker, J. O. Johnson, K.W. Edwards, B.P. Robinson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1696-C
A method is described for the determination of very low concentrations of uranium in water. The method is based on the fluorescence of uranium in a pad prepared by fusion of the dried solids from the water sample with a flux of 10 percent NaF 45.5 percent Na2CO3 , and...
Geology and ground-water resources of Dane County, Wisconsin
Denzel R. Cline
1965, Water Supply Paper 1779-U
The purpose of the ground-water investigation of Dane County, Wis., was to determine the occurrence, movement, quantity, quality, and availability of ground water in the unconsolidated deposits and the underlying bedrock. The relationships between ground water and surface water were studied in general in Dane County and in detail in...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1960
J.O. Rostvedt
1965, Water Supply Paper 1790-B
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1960. No major floods occurred during the year, although two floods caused severe damage the first in March and April in eastern Nebraska and adjacent areas, and the second in September in Puerto Rico.Unseasonal rains in mid-March caused...
Ground-water in the upper Star Valley, Wyoming
Eugene H. Walker
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-C
The upper Star Valley covers about 55 square miles of lowland in the westernmost part of Wyoming. The altitude of the floor of the valley is 6,000-6,700 feet. The climate is cool; the growing season, short. Annual precipitation averages about 18 inches, and total precipitation in July and August averages...
Water resources in the vicinity of municipalities on the east-central Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young, L. R. Petri, C. H. Prior
1965, Water Supply Paper 1759-E
Additional supplies of water are available near the municipalities on the east-central Mesabi Iron Range. Both ground water and surface water offer good potential supplies. For the ground-water supplies, the most productive aquifers are the Biwabik Iron Formation and the stratified glacial drift. Surface-water supplies are variable. Streams in the...
Hydrologic conditions near Glendo, Platte County, Wyoming
G. E. Welder, Edwin P. Weeks
1965, Water Supply Paper 1791
The Glendo area of Platte and Carbon Counties, Wyo., about 250 square miles in extent, is in the Great Plains physiographic province. It is bordered on the west by the Laramie Range and on the east by the Hartville uplift. The North Platte River and Horseshoe and Middle Bear Creeks...
Water resources in the vicinity of municipalities on the central Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young, L. R. Petri, C. H. Prior
1965, Water Supply Paper 1759-D
Additional supplies of water are available near the municipalities on the central Mesabi Iron Range. Ground water presents the greatest potential yield, and most of the productive aquifers are in the Biwabik Iron-Formation and the stratified glacial drift. /k single body of ice-contact stratified drift underlies parts of all but...
Geology and hydrology of the Claiborne Group in western Tennessee
Gerald K. Moore
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-F
The area of western Tennessee underlain by the Claiborne Group is about 7,200 square miles and lies on the east flank of the syncline that forms the Mississippi embayment. It includes the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and part of a dissected upland plateau. The Claiborne Group dips to the northwest at...
Ground-water resources of Pavant Valley, Utah
R. W. Mower
1965, Water Supply Paper 1794
Pavant Valley, in eastern Millard County in west-central Utah, is in the Great Basin section of the Basin and Range province. The area of investigation is 34 miles long from north to south and 9 miles wide from east to west and comprises about 300 square miles. Agriculture, tourist trade,...
Specific yield - laboratory experiments showing the effect of time on column drainage
Robert C. Prill, A.I. Johnson, Donald Arthur Morris
1965, Water Supply Paper 1662-B
The increasing use of ground water from many major aquifers in the United States has required a more thorough understanding of gravity drainage, or specific yield. This report describes one phase of specific yield research by the U.S. Geological Survey's Hydrologic Laboratory in cooperation with the California Department of Water...
Floods of March-April 1960 in Eastern Nebraska and adjacent states
H.D. Brice, R.E. West
1965, Water Supply Paper 1790-A
Snowmelt floods, record breaking on many streams and outstanding in terms of total area affected and runoff volumes generated, occurred in late March and early April 1960 on Missouri River tributaries in adjacent parts of six states. In order of area affected, the States are Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas,...
Geology and water resources of Portage County, Wisconsin
Charles Lee Roy Holt
1965, Water Supply Paper 1796
Portage County has abundant resources of generally good quality water and, although water problems exist locally, depletion or general scarcity of water is not likely in the foreseeable future. The county receives annually about 31 inches of precipitation, of which about 21 inches is lost as evaportranspiration. The average annual water...
Water resources in the vicinity of municipalities on the western Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young, L. R. Petri, C. H. Prior
1965, Water Supply Paper 1759-B
Additional supplies of water are available near the municipalities on the western Mesabi Iron Range. Potential yields from both ground-water and surface-water sources are good. The most productive aquifers for ground-water supplies are the Biwabik Iron-Formation and the stratified glacial drift. Areas of stratified drift believed to have good water...
