Fluvial sediment in the little Arkansas River basin, Kansas
C.D. Albert, G.J. Stramel
1966, Water Supply Paper 1798-B
Characteristics and transport of sediment in the Little Arkansas River basin in south-central Kansas were studied to determine if the water from the river could be used as a supplemental source for municipal supply or would provide adequate recharge to aquifers that are sources of municipal and agricultural water supplies....

Hydrology of Cornfield Wash area and effects of land-treatment practices, Sandoval County, New Mexico, 1951-60
D. E. Burkham
1966, Water Supply Paper 1831
The collection of runoff and sediment data was the primary objective of the 10-year (1951-60) study in the Cornfield Wash basin, which has an area of 21.3 square miles. However, reconnaissance investigations also were made of (1) precipitation; (2) the effects of reservoirs on runoff, erosion, and sediment yield; (3)...
Ground-water development in the high plains of Colorado, with a section on chemical quality of the ground water
Arnold J. Boettcher, Robert Brennan
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-I
The High Plains of Colorado includes all or part of 11 counties and has an area of about 9,500 square miles. The land surface slopes eastward and in most areas is gently rolling owing to erosion by ephemeral streams. The Ogallala Formation, of Pliocene age, is the principal aquifer. In...

Special sediment investigations Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri, 1961-63
Cloyd H. Scott, Howard D. Stephens
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-J
Four sets of comprehensive hydraulic and sediment data were obtained during 1961-63 for the Mississippi River at St. Louis at ranges of mean velocity from 3.3 to 5.6 feet per second, of mean depth from 22 to 37 feet, of width from 1,570 to 1,670 feet, of mean water-surface slope...
Effect of vertical motion on current meters
Nicholas A. Kallio
1966, Water Supply Paper 1869-B
The effect of vertical motion on the performance of current meters at various stream velocities was evaluated to determine whether accurate discharge measurements can be made from a bobbing boat. Three types of current meters--Ott, Price, and vane types--were tested under conditions simulating a bobbing boat. A known frequency and...
Availability of ground water upper Pawcatuck River basin Rhode Island
William Burrows Allen, Glenn Walter Hahn, Richard A. Brackley
1966, Water Supply Paper 1821
The upper Pawcatuck River basin is a 70-square-mile area in southcentral Rhode Island consisting of broad, rolling hills and narrow valleys in the north and fiat-floored plains in the south. It is drained by the Pawcatuck River and its two major tributaries, the Usquepaug-Queen River and the Chipuxet River. Analysis...
Ground-water resources and geology of northern and central Johnson County, Wyoming
Harold A. Whitcomb, T. Ray Cummings, Richard A. McCullough
1966, Water Supply Paper 1806
Northern and central Johnson County, Wyo., is an area of about 2,600 square miles that lies principally in the western part of the Powder River structural basin but also includes the east flank of the Bighorn Mountains. Sedimentary rocks exposed range in age from Cambrian to Recent and have an...
Fluvial sediment and chemical quality of water in the Little Blue River basin, Nebraska and Kansas
J. C. Mundorff, K.M. Waddell
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-H
The Little Blue River drains about 3,37)0 square miles in south-central Nebraska and north-central Kansas. The uppermost bedrock in the basin is limestone and shale of Permian age and sandstone, shale, and limestone of Cretaceous age. Bedrock is exposed in many places in the lower one-third of the basin but...

Effects of agricultural conservation practices on the hydrology of Corey Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1954-60
Benjamin L. Jones
1966, Water Supply Paper 1532-C
Analyses of data collected from two small basins in northern Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1960 indicated that changes in land use and land treatment have affected suspended- sediment discharge from the basins. Extensive land use and land-treatment changes have taken place in the 12.2-square-mile Corey Creek...

Selected techniques in water resources investigations, 1965
1966, Water Supply Paper 1822
Increasing world activity in water-resources development has created an interest in techniques for conducting investigations in the field. In the United States, the Geological Survey has the responsibility for extensive and intensive hydrologic studies, and the Survey places considerable emphasis on discovering better ways to carry out its responsibility. For...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States: Part 9. Colorado River Basin
James L. Patterson, William P. Somers
1966, Water Supply Paper 1683
This report outlines methods by which the magnitude and frequency of expected floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years can be determined at most points in the Colorado River basin.Composite frequency curves were drawn showing the relation of the mean annual flood to floods having recurrence intervals...
