Reconnaissance of ground-water resources of the Squaxin Island Indian Reservation, Washington
W. E. Lum II, Kenneth Lyle Walters
1976, Open-File Report 76-382
A supply of fresh ground water for the Squaxin Island Indian Reservation exists in saturated deposits underlying the 3.09-square-mile island, whereas surface-water supplies are practically nonexistent. Four test wells tapped a water-hearing zone of sand and gravel and had yields ranging from 27 to 170 gallons per minute, with drawdowns...

Ground water in the San Juan metropolitan area, Puerto Rico
H. R. Anderson
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-41
Ground water in the San Juan, Puerto Rico, area has played a declining role in water supply since the completion of the Lofza reservoir project in the early 1950's. Ground-water potential is limited because of the small size of the aquifers and susceptibility to seawater intrusion. Of the 30 million...
Chemical quality of ground water in the Tehama-Colusa Canal service area, Sacramento Valley, California
Gilbert L. Bertoldi
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-92
The Tehama-Colusa Canal Service Area consists of about 450 square miles of irrigable land located on the west side of the Sacramento Valley, Calif. Upon the completion of the Tehama-Colusa Canal, it is expected that most of the service area will switch from passive forms of agriculture (dry farming and...

Hydrology and environmental aspects of Erie Canal (1817-99)
Walter Basil Langbein
1976, Water Supply Paper 2038
As the first major water project in the United States, the old Erie Canal provides an example of the hydrological and environmental consequences of water development. The available record shows that the project aroused environmental fears that the canal might be impaired by the adverse hydrologic effects of land development...
An appraisal of ground water for irrigation in the Appleton area, west-central Minnesota
Steven P. Larson
1976, Water Supply Paper 2039-B
Supplemental irrigation of well-drained sandy soils has prompted an evaluation of ground water in the Appleton area. Glacial drift aquifers are the largest source of ground water. The surficial outwash sand and gravel is the most readily available and the most areally extensive drift aquifer, and it underlies much of...
Sediment characteristics of streams in the eastern Piedmont and western Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina
Clyde E. Simmons
1976, Water Supply Paper 1798-O
The sediment-transport characteristics of streams were determined in a 15,500-square-kilometre (6,000-square-mile) area of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions of eastern North Carolina during 1969-73. The study covered all or parts of 21 counties and included data for 28 sediment-sampling stations in parts of 4 major river basins?the Roanoke, Pamlico,...

1976, Water Supply Paper 2004
The Prairie du Chien Group was injected with 2,754,000 gallons (368,200 cubic feet), or 10,430 cubic metres, of municipally treated water at about 100 gallons per minute (13.4 cubic feet per minute), or 6.3 litres per second, for 20 days. The injection-pipe system was designed to utilize pipe friction rather...
