Principal lakes of the United States
Conrad D. Bue
1963, Circular 476
The United States has about 250 fresh-water lakes that are known to have surface areas of 10 square miles or more. Nearly 100 of these are in Alaska, and 100 in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York,, and Maine. Thirty-four fresh-water lakes, exclusive of the Great Lakes, are known to have maximum...
Preparation of water samples for carbon-14 dating
H.R. Feltz, Bruce B. Hanshaw
1963, Circular 480
For most natural water, a large sample is required to provide the 3 grams of carbon needed for a carbon-14 determination. A field procedure for isolating total dissolved-carbonate species is described. Carbon dioxide gas is evolved by adding sulfuric acid to the water sample; the gas is then collected in...

Methods of collecting and interpreting ground-water data
1963, Water Supply Paper 1544-H
Because ground water is hidden from view, ancient man could only theorize as to its sources of replenishment and its behavior. His theories held sway until the latter part of the 17th century, which marked the first experimental work to determine the source and movement of ground water. Thus founded,...

A field method for measurement of infiltration
A.I. Johnson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1544-F
The determination of infiltration--the downward entry of water into a soil (or sediment)--is receiving increasing attention in hydrologic studies because of the need for more quantitative data on all phases of the hydrologic cycle. A measure of infiltration, the infiltration rate, is usually determined in the field by flooding basins...

1963, Circular 479
Deposits of beryllium ore in the Lost River area of the western Seward Peninsula, Alaska, consist of replacement veins, pipes, and stringer lodes is limestone in a zone about 7 miles long and 2 to 3 miles wide which is faulted and intruded by dikes and stocks. The ores are...

Development of a hand portable rainfall-simulator infiltrometer
I.S. McQueen
1963, Circular 482
Comparisons of relative infiltration of summer thundershowers into undisturbed and treated western dry lands are necessary for guidance of future treatment practices. A system designed for measuring infiltration of simulated rainfall into small plots of undisturbed soil that can be hand-carried to sites inaccessible to vehicles has been developed. Disturbance...

Investigations of the principal fluorspar districts of Mexico
Ralph Erskine Van Alstine, Samuel Estrada, Ernesto de la Garza
1963, Open-File Report 63-124
As a result of the increasing need for fluorspar, especially in North America, the Mexican fluorspar industry expanded greatly is the 8-year period, 1952-1960. Since 1956, Mexico has been the world's largest producer and exporter of this commodity. From 1956 through 1959 Maltice imported about 90 percent of the fluorspar...
