Causes of fluctuations in the rate of discharge of Clear Lake Springs, Millard County, Utah
R. W. Mower
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-E
The Clear Lake Springs in southeastern Millard County are the source of water for the maintenance of the Clear Lakes Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. Seasonal declines in the rate of discharge were noted during 1959-60.Fluctuations in the flow of Clear Lake Springs are caused both by natural variations in the quantity...
Development of ground-water supplies at Mississippi test facility, Hancock County, Mississippi
Roy Newcome
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-H
Potable and industrial water supplies at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Mississippi Test Facility in Hancock County, Miss., are obtained from large-capacity wells that tap southward-dipping water-bearing sands of Miocene and Pliocene age. The fresh-water-bearing section is 2,000-3,000 feet thick in the area, and individual aquifers are as thick...
Ground-water resources of the Pascagoula River basin, Mississippi and Alabama
Roy Newcome
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-K
Abundant ground-water resources underlie the Pascagoula River basin. These resources have been developed intensively in only a few places--namely, Hattiesburg, Laurel, Meridian, and Pascagoula. Seepage from the ground water reservoirs sustains the base flows of the Leaf, Chickasawhay, Pascagoula, and Escatawpa Rivers and their tributaries. The fresh-water-bearing section is 300...

The area described in this report covers approximately 2,600 square miles in west-central South Carolina and includes the site of the Savannah River Plant, a major production facility of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The climate, surface drainage, and land forms of the study area are typical of the southern...
Swatara Creek basin of southeastern Pennsylvania: An evaluation of its hydrologic system
Wilbur Tennant Stuart, William J. Schneider, James W. Crooks
1967, Water Supply Paper 1829
Local concentrations of population in the Swatara Creek basin of Pennsylvania find it necessary to store, transport, and treat water because local supplies are either deficient or have been contaminated by disposal of wastes in upstream areas. Water in the basin is available for the deficient areas and for dilution...
Water requirements of the iron and steel industry
Faulkner B. Walling, Louis Ethelbert Otts Jr.
1967, Water Supply Paper 1330-H
Twenty-nine steel plants surveyed during 1957 and 1958 withdrew from various sources about 1,400 billion gallons of water annually and produced 40.8 million tons of ingot steel. This is equivalent to about 34,000 gallons of water per ton of steel. Fifteen iron ore mines and fifteen ore concentration plants together...
Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Michigan
Sulo Werner Wiitala, Thomas Gwyn Newport, Earl L. Skinner
1967, Water Supply Paper 1842
Large quantities of water are needed in the beneficiation and pelletizing processes by which the ore mined from low-grade iron-formations is upgraded into an excellent raw material for the iron and steel industry. Extensive reserves of low-grade iron-formation available for development herald an intensification of the demands upon the area's...
