The Chiricahua National Monument is in the eastern part of Cochise County, Ariz. The monument is about 35 miles southeast of Wilicox in the north end of the Chiricahua Mountains which border Sulphur Springs Valley on the west. The area is drained by two intermittent washes, one in Bonita and...
Reconnaissance of ground-water resources in the Eastern Coal Field Region, Kentucky
William E. Price, D. S. Mull, Chabot Kilburn
1962, Water Supply Paper 1607
In the Eastern Coal Field region of Kentucky, water is obtained from consolidated sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Devonian to Pennsylvanian and from unconsolidated sediments of Quaternary age. About 95 percent of the area is underlain by shale, sandstone, and coal of Pennsylvanian age. Principal factors governing the availability...
Effect of reservoir storage on peak flow
William D. Mitchell
1962, Water Supply Paper 1580-C
For observation of small-basin flood peaks, numerous crest-stage gages now are operated at culverts in roadway embankments. To the extent that they obstruct the natural flood plains of the streams, these embankments serve to create detention reservoirs, and thus to reduce the magnitude of observed peak flows. Hence, it is...

Evolution of methods for evaluating the occurrence of floods
M. A. Benson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1580-A
A brief summary is given of the history of methods of expressing flood potentialities, proceeding from simple flood formulas to statistical methods of flood-frequency analysis on a regional basis. Current techniques are described and evaluated. Long-term flood records in the United States show no justification for the adoption of a...
Ground-water provinces of Brazil
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1663-A
As part of a study of the status of investigations and development of ground water in Brazil, made under the auspices of the United States International Cooperation Administration and with the cooperation of the Government of Brazil, the country was divided into seven ground-water provinces. The identification and delineation of...

Constant-head pumping test of a multiaquifer well to determine characteristics of individual aquifers
Gordon D. Bennett, E.P. Patten
1962, Water Supply Paper 1536-G
This report describes the theory and field procedures for determining the transmissibility and storage coefficients and the original hydrostatic head of each aquifer penetrated by a multiaquifer well. The procedure involves pumping the well in such a manner that the drawdown of water level is constant while the discharges of...
Ground-Water Reconnaissance at Pinnacles National Monument, California
R. E. Evenson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1475-K
Ground-water supplies at Pinnacles National Monument have been obtained from springs that occur in fractures and along bedding planes of volcanic flows and deposits, and from springs discharged from perched water in a sedimentary fanglomerate formation. The spring-water yield is barely adequate to supply existing camp facilities, and therefore a...
Water resources of the Utica-Rome area, New York
Henry N. Halberg, O. P. Hunt, F. H. Pauszek
1962, Water Supply Paper 1499-C
The Utica-Rome area is along the Mohawk River and New York State Erie (Barge) Canal about midway between Lake Ontario and Albany. It encompasses about 390 square miles centered around the industrial cities of Utica and Rome. The Mohawk River, its tributary West Canada Creek, and a system of reservoirs...
Inventory of published and unpublished sediment-load data, United States and Puerto Rico, 1950-60
Kerry F. Harris
1962, Water Supply Paper 1547
This inventory of published and unpublished sediment-load data contains a list of the sediment-transport measurements in the United States and Puerto Rico during October 1950 to September 1960, made by the agencies associated with the Subcommittee on Sedimentation. Some of the agencies have miscellaneous sediment data, such as single observations...

Geology and ground-water resources of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
Thomas G. Newport
1962, Water Supply Paper 1604
The principal water-bearing rocks underlying Fond du Lac County, Wis., are sandstones of Cambrian and Ordovician age and dolomite of Silurian age. Other aquifers include dolomite of Ordovician age and sand. and gravel of Quaternary age. Crystalline rocks of Precambrian age, which underlie all the water-bearing formations, form a practically...
Reconnaissance of ground-water resources in the Western Coal Field Region, Kentucky
Bruce William Maxwell, Robert Washburn Devaul
1962, Water Supply Paper 1599
In the Western Coal Field region of Kentucky, water is obtained from consolidated sedimentary rocks of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian ages and from unconsolidated sediments of Cenozoic age. Pennsylvanian rocks crop out in more than 95 percent of the area and consist of shale and sandstone interbedded with some limestone and...

Geology and ground water of the Red Lake area, Navajo Indian Reservation, Arizona and New Mexico
J. P. Akers, N. E. McClymonds, John William Harshbarger
1962, Water Supply Paper 1576-B
The Red Lake area in the Navajo Indian Reservation, Arizona and New Mexico, was studied by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine if 1 mgd (mil- lion gallons per day) of water could be obtained for the requirements of a proposed sawmill. Geologic mapping and stratigraphic studies indicated three favorable...
Rainwater as a chemical agent of geologic processes; a review
Dorothy Carroll
1962, Water Supply Paper 1535-G
Chemical analyses of the rainwater collected at several localities are given to show the variations of the principal constitutents. In rock weathering and soil-forming processes, the chemical composition of rainwater has an important effect which has been evaluated for only a few arid areas. In humid regions the important amounts...
