Flow pattern and related chemical quality of ground water in the "500-foot" sand in the Memphis area, Tennessee
Edwin Allen Bell, Dale J. Nyman
1968, Water Supply Paper 1853
The '500-foot' sand is the major source of water supply for the Memphis area. Thick layers of impervious clay above and below the sand confine the water in the aquifer under artesian pressure and also protect the aquifer from contamination. Recharge from rainfall enters the '500-foot' sand in the outcrop,...

1968, Water Supply Paper 1848
The area investigated is a segment of the Sevier River basin, Utah, comprising about 900 square miles and including a 19-mile reach of the Sevier River between Yuba Dam and Leamington Canyon. The larger valleys in the area are southern Juab, Round, and Scipio Valleys. The smaller valleys are Mills,...
Water resources of Grant and Hot Spring Counties, Arkansas
Henry N. Halberg, Charles T. Bryant, Marion S. Hines
1968, Water Supply Paper 1857
In Grant and Hot Spring Counties the Ouachita, Saline, and Caddo Rivers yield large quantities of soft, good-quality water. Small streams in southeastern Hot Spring County and some of the small streams in the Ouachita Mountains have relatively high base flow; in Grant County small streams yield little water during...
Use of water by riparian vegetation, Cottonwood Wash, Arizona
James E. Bowie, William Kam
1968, Water Supply Paper 1858
The change in water use as a result of the modification of riparian vegetation was measured in Cottonwood Wash, Mohave County, Ariz. A 4.1-mile length of the stream channel was selected and divided into a 2.6-mile upper reach and a 1.5-mile lower reach. Measurements of streamflow, ground-water levels, vegetation, and...

Ground-water resources of the Acu Valley, Rio Grande Norte, Brazil
Harry G. Rodis, Jonas Maria. de Castro Araujo
1968, Water Supply Paper 1663-C
The Acu Valley is the lower part of the Rio Piranhas valley in the northwestern part of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. It begins where the Rio Piranhas leaves the crystalline Precambrian rocks to flow across the outcrop of sedimentary rocks. The area considered in this report...
Ground-water geology of Kordofan Province, Sudan
Harry G. Rodis, Abdulla Hassan, Lutfi Wahadan
1968, Water Supply Paper 1757-J
For much of Kordofan Province, surface-water supplies collected and stored in hafirs, fulas, and tebeldi trees are almost completely appropriated for present needs, and water from wells must serve as the base for future economic and cultural development. This report describes the results of a reconnaissance hydrogeologic investigation of the...
Electrical analog analysis of ground-water depletion in central Arizona
T. W. Anderson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1860
The Salt River Valley and the lower Santa Cruz River basin are the two largest agricultural areas in Arizona. The extensive use of ground water for irrigation has resulted in the need for a thorough appraisal of the present and future ground-water resources. The ground-water reservoir provides 80 percent (3.2...

Fresh and saline ground-water zones in the Punjab region, West Pakistan
W.V. Swarzenski
1968, Water Supply Paper 1608-I
An extensive program of test drilling and water sampling, undertaken by the Water and Soils Investigation Division (WASID) of the West Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) to evaluate hydrologic problems related to waterlogging and soil salinity, has furnished data for the delineation of fresh and saline ground-water zones...
Hydrology of Crater, East and Davis Lakes, Oregon; with section on Chemistry of the Lakes
Kenneth N. Phillips, A. S. Van Denburgh
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-E
Crater, East, and Davis Lakes are small bodies of fresh water that occupy topographically closed basins in Holocene volcanic terrane. Because the annual water supply exceeds annual evaporation, water must be lost by seepage from each lake. The seepage rates vary widely both in volume and in percentage of the...
Water-discharge determinations for the tidal reach of the Willamette River from Ross Island Bridge to Mile 10.3, Portland, Oregon
G.R. Dempster, Gale A. Lutz
1968, Water Supply Paper 1586-H
Water-discharge, velocity, and slope variations for a 3.7-mile-Iong tidal reach of the Willamette River at Portland, Oreg., were defined from discharge measurements and river stage data collected between July 1962 and January 1965. Observed water discharge during tide-affected flows, during floods, and during backwater from the Columbia River and recorded...

Storage requirements for Arkansas streams
James Lee Patterson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-G
The supply of good-quality surface water in Arkansas is abundant. owing to seasonal and annual variability of streamflow, however, storage must be provided to insure dependable year-round supplies in most of the State. Storage requirements for draft rates that are as much as 60 percent of the mean annual flow...
