Geology and ground-water resources of Plum Island, Suffolk County, New York
H. C. Crandell
1962, Water Supply Paper 1539-X
Plum Island, which has a total area of about 1.3 square miles, is about 2 miles off the northeast tip of Long Island. It is underlain by Cretaceous and Pleistocene unconsolidated deposits resting on a southeastward-sloping Precambrian bedrock surface. The island's fresh ground-water reservoir is contained in stratified upper Pleistocene...
Geology and ground-water resources of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
Thomas G. Newport
1962, Water Supply Paper 1604
The principal water-bearing rocks underlying Fond du Lac County, Wis., are sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age and dolomite of Silurian age. Other aquifers include dolomite of Ordovician age and sand. and gravel of Quaternary age. Crystalline rocks of Precambrian age, which underlie all the water-bearing formations, form a practically...
Reconnaissance of ground-water resources in the Western Coal Field Region, Kentucky
Bruce William Maxwell, Robert Washburn Devaul
1962, Water Supply Paper 1599
In the Western Coal Field region of Kentucky, water is obtained from consolidated sedimentary rocks of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian ages and from unconsolidated sediments of Cenozoic age. Pennsylvanian rocks crop out in more than 95 percent of the area and consist of shale and sandstone interbedded with some limestone and...
Inventory of published and unpublished sediment-load data, United States and Puerto Rico, 1950-60
Kerry F. Harris
1962, Water Supply Paper 1547
This inventory of published and unpublished sediment-load data contains a list of the sediment-transport measurements in the United States and Puerto Rico during October 1950 to September 1960, made by the agencies associated with the Subcommittee on Sedimentation. Some of the agencies have miscellaneous sediment data, such as single observations...
Ground-water provinces of Brazil
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1663-A
As part of a study of the status of investigations and development of ground water in Brazil, made under the auspices of the United States International Cooperation Administration and with the cooperation of the Government of Brazil, the country was divided into seven ground-water provinces. The identification and delineation of...
Methods of measuring soil moisture in the field
A.I. Johnson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1619-U
For centuries, the amount of moisture in the soil has been of interest in agriculture. The subject of soil moisture is also of great importance to the hydrologist, forester, and soils engineer. Much equipment and many methods have been developed to measure soil moisture under field conditions. This report discusses...
Ground-Water Reconnaissance at Pinnacles National Monument, California
R. E. Evenson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1475-K
Ground-water supplies at Pinnacles National Monument have been obtained from springs that occur in fractures and along bedding planes of volcanic flows and deposits, and from springs discharged from perched water in a sedimentary fanglomerate formation. The spring-water yield is barely adequate to supply existing camp facilities, and therefore a...
Theory of aquifer tests
J.G. Ferris, D.B. Knowles, R. H. Brown, R.H. Stallman
1962, Water Supply Paper 1536-E
The development of water supplies from wells was placed on a rational basis with Darcy's development of the law governing the movement of fluids through sands and with Dupuit's application of that law to the problem of radial flow toward a pumped well. As field experience increased, confidence in the...
Geology and ground water of the Red Lake area, Navajo Indian Reservation, Arizona and New Mexico
J. P. Akers, N. E. McClymonds, John William Harshbarger
1962, Water Supply Paper 1576-B
The Red Lake area in the Navajo Indian Reservation, Arizona and New Mexico, was studied by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine if 1 mgd (mil- lion gallons per day) of water could be obtained for the requirements of a proposed sawmill. Geologic mapping and stratigraphic studies indicated three favorable...
