Utilization of ground water in the Santa Maria Valley area, California
G.A. Miller, R. E. Evenson
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-A
Overdraft in the Santa Maria Valley ground-water basin since about 1946 has resulted in a significant decline in water levels throughout the basin as ground water has been removed from storage. In 1959 approximately 2,200,000 acre-feet of ground water was in storage above sea level in the ground-water reservoir. Estimates...
Fluvial sediment and chemical quality of water in the Little Blue River basin, Nebraska and Kansas
J. C. Mundorff, K.M. Waddell
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-H
The Little Blue River drains about 3,37)0 square miles in south-central Nebraska and north-central Kansas. The uppermost bedrock in the basin is limestone and shale of Permian age and sandstone, shale, and limestone of Cretaceous age. Bedrock is exposed in many places in the lower one-third of the basin but...
Salt-water encroachment in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, New York
N.J. Lusczynski, Wolfgang V. Swarzenski
1966, Water Supply Paper 1613-F
Test drilling, extraction of water from cores, electric logging, water sampling, and water-level measurements from 1958 to 1961 provided a suitable basis for a substantial refinement in the definition of the positions, chloride concentrations, and rates of movement of salty water in the intermediate and deep deposits of southern Nassau...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States: Part 10. The Great Basin
E. Butler, J.K. Reid, V.K. Berwick
1966, Water Supply Paper 1684
The probable magnitude of floods of any recurrence interval between 1.1 and 50 years for any stream in the Great Basin can be determined by methods presented in this report.The Great Basin comprises nearly all of Nevada, western Utah, eastern California, and parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming. The physiography...
Summary of hydrologic conditions of the Louisville area, Kentucky
Edwin Allen Bell
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-C
Water problems and their solutions have been associated with the growth and development of the Louisville area for more than a century. Many hydrologic data that aided water users in the past can be applied to present water problems and will be helpful for solving many similar problems in the...

Selected techniques in water resources investigations, 1965
1966, Water Supply Paper 1822
Increasing world activity in water-resources development has created an interest in techniques for conducting investigations in the field. In the United States, the Geological Survey has the responsibility for extensive and intensive hydrologic studies, and the Survey places considerable emphasis on discovering better ways to carry out its responsibility. For...

Fresh-water discharge salinity relations in the tidal Delaware River
Walter B. Keighton
1966, Water Supply Paper 1586-G
Sustained flows of fresh water greater than 3,500, 4,400, and 5,300 cubic feet per second into the Delaware River estuary at Trenton, NJ assure low salinity at League Island, Eddystone, and Marcus Hook, respectively. When the discharge at Trenton is less than these critical values, salinity is very sensitive to...
Salinity of the ground water in western Pinal County, Arizona
Lester Ray Kister, W. F. Hardt
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-E
The chemical quality of the ground water in western Pinal County is nonuniform areally and stratigraphically. The main areas of highly mineralized water are near Casa Grande and near Coolidge. Striking differences have been noted in the quality of water from different depths in the same well. Water from one...
