Effects of drought in central and south Texas
H. E. Thomas
1963, Professional Paper 372-C
The effects of drought upon ground-water storage and discharge, and upon streamflow, vary tremendously in the central third of Texas (the area from the Panhandle to the Gulf of Mexico). Extremes are represented by (a) the Llano Estacado, where the drought had negligible effect upon ground-water resources, which are being...
Ground-water geology of Edwards County, Texas
Archie T. Long
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-J
Edwards County occupies 2,075 square miles of the southern part of the Edwards Plateau in southwest Texas. In 1950 it had a population of 2,908. Its thin limestone soil supports the characteristic flora of a semiarid region. The county is underlain by nearly flat-lying beds of limestone and a few...

Hydrologic and geologic reconnaissance of Pinto Basin, Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside County, California
Fred Kunkel
1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-O
Pinto basin, in the north-central part of Riverside County, Calif., is a typical desert valley formed by downfaulting along several major fault zones. The valley is filled with alluvium, and ground water in the alluvium discharges as subsurface outflow through an alluvium-filled gap at the east end of the valley....
Factors influencing the occurrence of floods in a humid region of diverse terrain
M. A. Benson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1580-B
This report describes relations between flood peaks and hydrologic factors in a humid region with limited climatic variation but a diversity of terrain. Statistical multiple-regression techniques have been applied to hydrologic data on New England. Many topographic and climatic factors have been evaluated. and their relations to flood peaks have...
Geology and ground-water resources of Montgomery County, Alabama
Doyle Blewer Knowles, H. L. Reade, J. C. Scott
1963, Water Supply Paper 1606
Montgomery County includes an area of 790 square miles in east-central Alabama. The economy of Montgomery County is related primarily to the growing and processing of agricultural products.The county is in the northern part of the Coastal Plain. It consists of parts of four divisions of the Coastal Plain: the...
Salt-water encroachment, geology, and ground-water resources of Savannah area, Georgia and South Carolina
H. B. Counts, Ellis Donsky
1963, Water Supply Paper 1611
The Savannah area consists of about 2,300 square miles of the Coastal Plain along the coast of eastern Georgia and southeastern South Carolina. Savannah is near the center of the area. Most of the large ground-water developments are in or near Savannah. About 98 percent of the approximately 60 mgd...

Electric analog of three-dimensional flow to wells and its application to unconfined aquifers
Robert W. Stallman
1963, Water Supply Paper 1536-H
Electric-analog design criteria are established from the differential equations of ground-water flow for analyzing pumping-test data. A convenient analog design was obtained by transforming the cylindrical equation of flow to a rectilinear form. The design criteria were applied in the construction of an electric analog, which was used for studying...

Water requirements of the styrene, butadiene and synthetic-rubber industries
Charles N. Durfor
1963, Water Supply Paper 1330-F
About 710 million gallons of makeup water is withdrawn daily by the styrene, butadiene, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and specialty-rubber industries; 88 percent of this water is used only for once-through cooling. About 429 million gallons of water daily (mgd) is withdrawn by the butadiene industry; 158 ragd is withdrawn by...

Progress report on the ground-water resources of the Louisville area, Kentucky, 1949-55
Edwin A. Bell, Robert W. Kellogg, Willis K. Kulp
1963, Water Supply Paper 1579
In the Louisville area, the principal water-bearing formations are the glacial-outwash sand and gravel and, in places, the underlying limestone. During the period 1949 through 1955 pumpage from the two aquifers averaged about 30 mgd (million gallons per day). The pumpage was approximately in balance with the normal net recharge...

Effects of hydraulic and geologic factors on streamflow of the Yakima River Basin, Washington
Hallard B. Kinnison, Jack E. Sceva
1963, Water Supply Paper 1595
The Yakima River basin, in south-central Washington, is the largest single river system entirely within the confines of the State. Its waters are the most extensively utilized of all the rivers in Washington. The river heads high on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains, flows for 180 miles in a...

Hydrology of stock-water development on the public domain of western Utah
Charles T. Snyder
1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-N
A geologic and hydrologic reconnaissance was made on the public domain of western Utah to appraise the water resources of the area and to provide a basis for locating and developing sources of stock water. The study area includes the Bonneville, Pahvant, and Virgin Grazing Districts, in parts of Tooele,...
Ground-water contamination and legal controls in Michigan
Morris Deutsch
1963, Water Supply Paper 1691
The great importance of the fresh ground-water resources of Michigan is evident because 90 percent of the rural and about 70 percent of the total population of the State exclusive of the Detroit metropolitan area are supplied from underground sources. The water-supply and public-health problems that have been caused by...
