Time, distance, and drawdown relationships in a pumped ground-water basin
Fred Kunkel
1960, Circular 433
Several reasonable values are assumed for coefficients of transmissibility and storage of lenticular alluvial deposits, These values when substituted in the Theis (1935) nonequilibrium formula as modified by Wenzel (1942) give curves from which time, distance, drawdown relationships are estimated....
Ground-water resources of the south--a frontier of the Nation's water supply

Water management, agriculture, and ground-water supplies
Raymond L. Nace
1960, Circular 415
Encyclopedic data on world geography strikingly illustrate the drastic inequity in the distribution of the world's water supply. About 97 percent of the total volume of water is in the world's oceans. The area of continents and islands not under icecaps, glaciers, lakes, and inland seas is about 57.5 million...

Occurrence of ground waters of low hardness and of high chloride content in Lyon County, Minnesota
Harry G. Rodis, Robert Schneider
1960, Circular 423
The ground water in Lyon County and elsewhere in southwestern Minnesota is generally hard and low in chloride. It is the purpose of this report to describe briefly the occurrence in Lyon County of waters of low hardness and of high chloride content. The waters are found largely in Cretaceous...
Occurrence of strontium in natural water
M. W. Skougstad, C. Albert Horr
1960, Circular 420
The regions where the stable strontium content of surface waters is relatively low (less than 0.50 ppm) include the Pacific Northwest, Northeastern United States, and the Central Lowlands, Particularly the Lower Mississippi basin and the Western Gulf Coast area. Moderate concentrations of strontium (0.50 to 1.5 ppm) are found in...
A field instrument for quantitative determination of beryllium by activation analysis
William W. Vaughn, E.E. Wilson, J.M. Ohm
1960, Circular 427
A low-cost instrument has been developed for quantitative determinations of beryllium in the field by activation analysis. The instrument makes use of the gamma-neutron reaction between gammas emitted by an artificially radioactive source (Sb124) and beryllium as it occurs in nature. The instrument and power source are mounted in a...

Availability of ground water at the border stations at Laurier and Ferry, Washington
Kenneth Lyle Walters
1960, Circular 422
In the Laurier area, Washington, the Kettle River has cut into crystalline rocks in the deepest part of the valley. Sand and gravel fill were deposited in the valley during Pleistocene time by melt water from glaciers, and subsequent erosion and alluviation formed three terrace levels. The highest level, on...

Graphical correlation of gaging-station records
James K. Searcy
1960, Water Supply Paper 1541-C
A gaging-station record is a sample of the rate of flow of a stream at a given site. This sample can be used to estimate the magnitude and distribution of future flows if the record is long enough to be representative of the long-term flow of the stream. The reliability...
Double-mass curves, with a section fitting curves to cyclic data
James K. Searcy, Clayton H. Hardison, Walter B. Langbein
1960, Water Supply Paper 1541-B
The double.-mass curve is used to check the consistency of many kinds of hydrologic data by comparing data for a single station with that of a pattern composed of the data from several other stations in the area The double-mass curve can be used to adjust inconsistent precipitation data. The...
