Summary of floods in the United States during 1959
E. L. Hendricks
1964, Water Supply Paper 1750-B
This report describes the most outstanding floods that occurred in the United States during 1959.The floods of January-February in Ohio and adjacent States were the most outstanding floods of the year 1959 with respect to area affected, number of streams having maximum discharge of record, rare occurrence of peaks, and...
Apparatus and techniques for measuring bedload
David Wellington Hubbell
1964, Water Supply Paper 1748
The need for accurate determinations of the total sediment discharge of particles of bedload size has prompted this investigation of available and possible measuring apparatus and procedures. The accuracy of measurements of sediment discharge made with trap-type samplers is affected by the variability of sampler efficiency, by the oscillatory variation...
Chemical quality of surface waters in the Brazos River basin in Texas
Burdge Irelan, H.B. Mendieta
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-K
The Brazos River basin, which makes up 15 percent of the land area of Texas, extends from the High Plains, where altitudes reach 4,200 feet and the average precipitation ranges from 15 to 20 inches a year, to the Gulf of Mexico where the annual rainfall is 45-^50 inches. Large...
Ground water in Fountain and Jimmy Camp Valleys, El Paso County, Colorado
Edward D. Jenkins, Robert E. Glover
1964, Water Supply Paper 1583
The part of Fountain Valley considered in this report extends from Colorado Springs to the Pueblo County line. It is 23 miles long and has an area of 26 square miles. The part of Jimmy Camp Valley discussed is 11 miles long and has an area of 9 square miles....
The effect of artesian-pressure decline on confined aquifer systems and its relation to land subsidence
J. H. Green
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-T
Ground water in the Southwestern United States is derived chiefly from unconsolidated to semiconsolidated alluvial deposits. Where these deposits contain confined water, they may be susceptible to compaction and related land- surface subsidence, if artesian pressures are reduced. Compaction of artesian-aquifer systems can be estimated from core tests if the...
Geology and ground-water resources of the Anchorage area, Alaska
Dagfin John Cederstrom, Frank W. Trainer, Roger Milton Waller
1964, Water Supply Paper 1773
The Anchorage area, at the head of Cook Inlet in south-central Alaska, occupies 150 square miles of a glaciated lowland and lies between two estuaries and the Chugach Mountains. Two military bases are in the area; Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and the chief transportation center for this...
Geology and ground-water resources of Washington, D.C., and vicinity, with a section on chemical quality of the water
Paul McKelvey Johnston, D. E. Weaver, Leonard Siu
1964, Water Supply Paper 1776
The area of this report includes 436 square miles centered about the District of Columbia. The area contains parts of two distinctly different physiographic provinces-the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain. The Fall Line, which separates the Piedmont province on the west from the Coastal Plain Province on the east, bisects...
Chemical quality of surface waters and sedimentation in the Saline River basin, Kansas
Paul Robert Jordan, B.F. Jones, Lester R. Petri
1964, Water Supply Paper 1651
This report gives the results of an investigation of the sediment and dissolved minerals that are transported by the Saline River and its tributaries. The Saline River basin is in western and central Kansas; it is long and narrow and covers 3,420 square miles of rolling plains, which is broken...
Sediment transported by Georgia streams
Vance C. Kennedy
1964, Water Supply Paper 1668
A reconnaissance investigation of the sediment transported by selected Georgia streams during the period December 1957 to June 1959 was made to provide a general understanding of the physical quality of stream water in Georgia and to supply facts needed in planning more detailed work. The investigation was made by...
