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...

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...

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...

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...
