Subsurface geology of the late Tertiary and Quaternary water-bearing deposits of the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley, California
M.G. Croft
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-H
The study area, which includes about 5,000 square miles of the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley, is a broad structural trough of mostly interior drainage. The Sierra Nevada on the east is composed of consolidated igneous and metamorphic rocks of pre-Tertiary age. The surface of these rocks slopes...
Tracer simulation study of potential solute movement in Port Royal Sound, South Carolina
F. A. Kilpatrick, T. Ray Cummings
1972, Water Supply Paper 1586-J
A tracer study was conducted in Port Royal Sound to simulate the movement and ultimate pattern of concentration of a solute continuously injected into the flow. A total of 750 pounds of Rhodamine WT dye was injected by boat during a period of 24.8 hours in a line across the...
Fluvial sediment in Salem Fork watershed, West Virginia
R.F. Flint
1972, Water Supply Paper 1798-K
Suspended sediment discharged from the 8.32-square-mile Salem Fork study area in Harrison County, W. Va., averaged 3,500 tons per year during the first 4-year period of investigation and 1,770 tons per year during the second 4-year period. The difference as attributed to increased flow control, effected by the completion of...
Electrical-analog analysis of the hydrologic system, Tucson basin, southeastern Arizona
T. W. Anderson
1972, Water Supply Paper 1939-C
The water supply for the Tucson basin, Arizona, is derived entirely from ground water. The average annual pumpage for 1962-64 was about 165,000 acre-feet and was greater than the natural rate of ground-water recharge. Water-level declines of as much as 70 feet occurred from spring 1940 to spring 1965 as...

Ground-water resources of Natrona County, Wyoming
Marvin A. Crist, Marlin E. Lowry
1972, Water Supply Paper 1897
Natrona County covers an area of 5.369 square miles in central Wyoming. The climate is arid except in the mountainous areas. The county includes parts of the Great Plains, Middle Rocky Mountains, Wyoming Basin, and Southern Rocky Mountains physiographic provinces. There is wide variation of topography. More than 30 geologic...
Floods of May 1968 in south Arkansas
R.C. Gilstrap
1972, Water Supply Paper 1970-A
The floods of May 1968 in south Arkansas produced the greatest peak discharges in the history of recorded streamflow at several gaging stations. Most notable of these floods was on Cossatot River near DeQueen, which has a continuous record since 1938. The peak discharge of 122,000 cubic feet per second...
Determination of mass balance and entrainment in the stratified Duwamish River Estuary, King County, Washington
J.D. Stoner
1972, Water Supply Paper 1873-F
During a study of the effects of waste-water input on the stratified Duwamish River estuary, intensive water-velocity and salinity measurements were made in both the lower salt wedge and the upper fresher water layer for tidal-cycle periods. The net movement of water and salt mass past a cross section during...
Sediment transport in a Mississippi River distributary — Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana
W. Harry Doyle
1972, Water Supply Paper 2008
The installation of a pumping plant at Donaldsonville, La., in 1955 to solve a water-supply problem for the residents along Bayou Lafourche created a sedimentation problem in the bayou. Prior to 1904, when the bayou functioned as a distributary, floodflows periodically scoured the sediment deposited in the channel at lower...
Water quality of streams in the Neshaminy Creek basin, Pennsylvania
Edward F. McCarren
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-O
The Neshaminy has carved a scenic route on its way to the Delaware River, thereby helping to increase the value of land. The unabated growth of nearby metropolitan areas and the multiplying needs for water and open space for water storage and recreation in southeastern Pennsylvania have become impelling forces...

Significance of ground-water chemistry in performance of North Sahara Tube wells in Algeria and Tunisia
Frank Eldridge Clarke, Blair F. Jones
1972, Water Supply Paper 1757-M
Nine ground-water samples from the principal shallow and deep North Sahara aquifers of Algeria and Tunisia were examined to determine the relation of their chemical composition to corrosion and mineral encrustation thought to be contributing to observed decline in well capacities within a UNESCO/UNDP Special Fund Project area. Although the...
Reconnaissance geology of the Jabal Bitran quadrangle, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Viktor P. Kahr, W.C. Overstreet, J. W. Whitlow, A.O. Ankary
1972, Open-File Report 72-204
The Jabal Bitten quadrangle covers an area of 2833 sq km in the eastern part of the Precambrian Shield in Saudi Arabia. The rocks in the quadrangle are divided geographically alone arcuate north-trending lines into an eastern area of granite intruded by a swarm of dikes of rhyolite and andesite,...
A test of self-stationarity
Robert D. Regan
1972, Open-File Report 72-311
A method for testing the stationarity of a single time series has been devised. The method utilizes two pre-existing tests of stationarity. A computer program that permits routine testing of any time series has been developed, and the test has ben successfully applied to several known series. In certain cases...
Surficial geology of the Mount Tom quadrangle, Massachusetts
Fredrick D. Larsen
1972, Open-File Report 72-219
Movement of the last ice sheet in the Mount Tom quadrangle was due south during time of major advance as indicated by striations, drumlins, and indicator stones. Erratics of the Belchertown Tonalite, derived from the northeast portion of the Easthampton quadrangle, have been carried southward a distance of at least...
Clay deposits of the Connecticut River Valley, Connecticut: a special problem in land management
William H. Langer
1972, Open-File Report 72-218
When man first settled the United States, two natural features favored settlement; flat land that was easy to build on and to farm, and a nearby river that could act as a source of water, transportation, and power. The Connecticut River Valley from Middletown, Ct. north past the Connecticut-Massachusetts state...
