Airborne radioactivity surveys for phosphate in Florida
Robert M. Moxham
1954, Circular 230
Airborne radioactivity surveys totaling 5, 600 traverse miles were made in 10 areas in Florida, which were thought to be geologically favorable for deposits of uraniferous phosphate. Abnormal radioactivity was recorded in 8 of the 10 areas surveyed. The anomalies are located in Bradford, Clay, Columbia, DeSoto, Dixie, Lake, Marion,...

The industrial utility of public water supplies in the United States, 1952; Part 2: States west of the Mississippi River
E. W. Lohr, S. K. Love
1954, Water Supply Paper 1300
Public water supplies are utilized extensively by industries for processing, cooling, and steam generation. The requirements as to quality of water for each industry are specific, therefore information on the quality or chemical character of the water supply is essential not only in the location of industrial plants but also...

Ground-water conditions in southwestern Langlade County, Wisconsin
Alfred Harry Harder, William James Drescher
1954, Water Supply Paper 1294
Glacial outwash sand and gravel deposits are the principal aquifer in southwestern Langlade County, Wis. The underlying bedrock of pre-Cambrian age contains little or no water. The source of ground water is local precipitation. Information was collected on more than 300 wells in the area. Movement of ground water is...

J. V. B. Wells
1954, Water Supply Paper 1137-H
Record-breaking floods in the Walker, Carson, and Truckee River basins during November and December 1950 resulted from a rapid sequence of storms and unseasonably high temperatures that melted most of the early snow cover. During the period November 13 to December 8, 1950, total precipitation ranged from about 5 inches...
A postglacial chronology for some alluvial valleys in Wyoming
Luna Bergere Leopold, John P. Miller
1954, Water Supply Paper 1261
Alluvial terraces were studied in several major river basins in eastern Wyoming. Three terraces are present along nearly all the streams and large tributaries. There are several extensive dissected erosion surfaces in the area, but these are much older than, and stand well above, the recent alluvial terraces with which...
