Summary of floods in the United States during 1958
E. L. Hendricks
1964, Water Supply Paper 1660-B
This report describes the most outstanding floods that occurred in the United States during 1958.A series of storms from January 23 to February 16 brought large amounts of precipitation to northern California and produced damaging floods, particularly in the Lower Sacramento Valley where losses totaled about \$12 million.Major floods, notable...
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...
Inventory of published and unpublished chemical analyses of surface waters in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, 1961
Thomas H. Woodard, Sumner Griggs Heidel
1964, Water Supply Paper 1786
This inventory contains a list of published and unpublished chemical analyses obtained through September 30, 1961, by agencies associated with the Subcommittee on Hydrology. Bulletin 6 of Subcommittee on Hydrology includes references to all surface-water analyses for states east of the Mississippi River known to exist in the files of...
Hydrogeologic reconnaissance of Poro Point and vicinity, Luzon Island, Philippines
George Frank Worts
1964, Water Supply Paper 1608-E
In 1961 a reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water hydrology of Poro Point, on the west coast of Luzon Island, Philippines, was made on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Navy. Poro Point, which marks the northern end of Lingayen Gulf, is about half a mile wide and projects...
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....
Hydrologic studies of small watersheds, Honey Creek basin, Collin and Grayson Counties, Texas, 1953-1959
Clarence R. Gilbert, G.G. Commons, G. E. Koberg, F.W. Kennon
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-F
This report presents the results of an investigation into the effects of floodwaterretarding structures in the 39 square miles of the Honey Creek basin above the stream-gaging station near McKinney, during the period October 1952 to September 1959. The number of such structures in the study area was increased from...
Exploratory laboratory study of lateral turbulent diffusion at the surface of an alluvial channel
William W. Sayre, A.R. Chamberlain
1964, Circular 484
In natural streams turbulent diffusion is one of the principal mechanisms by which liquid and suspended-particulate contaminants are dispersed in the flow. A knowledge of turbulence characteristics is therefore essential in predicting the dispersal rates of contaminants in streams. In this study the theory of diffusion by continuous movements for...
Ground-water geology of the Dickson, Lawrenceburg, and Waverly areas in the western Highland Rim, Tennessee
Melvin V. Marcher, Roy H. Bingham, Richard Edwin Lounsbury
1964, Water Supply Paper 1764
Ground-water supplies in the Dickson, Lawrenceburg, and Waverly areas are obtained from wells and springs in limestone and chert formations of Missisippian age. In the Dickson area most of the wells and springs are in Warsaw Limestone. In the Lawrenceburg and Waverly areas, ground-water supplies are obtained from Fort Payne...
Lithologic variations in slope development theory
Adrian E. Scheidegger
1964, Circular 485
This paper presents a comprehensive review and amplification of the writer's earlier slope development theory. In particular, the influence of lithology on evolving slope profiles is investigated and calculations are made for various conditions, such as presence of caprock, soft bottom, and hard and soft intermediate layers....
Evaluation of hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry of Truckee Meadows area, Washoe County, Nevada
Philip M. Cohen, Omar J. Loeltz
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-S
Practically all the ground water of economic importance in the Truckee Meadows area, an alluviated intermontane basin in western Nevada is in the valley fill, which consists of unconsolidated and partially consolidated sedimentary deposits. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic consolidated rocks of the mountains bordering the valley contain some water in...
General geology of Guam
J. I. Tracey Jr., S.O. Schlanger, J. T. Stark, D. B. Doan, H. G. May
1964, Professional Paper 403-A

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...
Lake Superior seismic experiment
W. H. Jackson, B. L. Tibbetts
1964, Open-File Report 64-89
During the Lake Superior seismic experiment, an International Upper Mantle cooperative program in July 1965, the U. S. Geological Survey provided a total of 8 mobile seismic-recording systems. For the first phase of the experiment the systems were arranged in two groups of 4; one group at the western end...
