Appraisal of stream sedimentation in the Susquehanna River basin
Kenneth F. Williams, Lloyd A. Reed
1972, Water Supply Paper 1532-F
The Susquehanna River presently transports about 3.0 million tons of sediment annually (110 tons per square mile). Only about 1.8 million tons of sediment enters the head of Chesapeake Bay annually because some sediment is trapped behind the power dams on the lower Susquehanna. Measured annual sediment yields from subbasins...
Geohydrology of the lower Verdigris River valley between Muskogee and Catoosa, Oklahoma
H.H. Tanaka
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-A
Alluvium is the principal aquifer along the Verdigris River between Muskogee and Catoosa, Okla. Yields of 1 to 10 gallons of water per minute, adequate for most domestic and stock uses, are available in almost all areas underlain by alluvium. In places where the proportion of gravel to fine material...
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...
Movement and dispersion of soluble pollutants in the Northeast Cape Fear Estuary, North Carolina
E. F. Hubbard, William G. Stamper
1972, Water Supply Paper 1873-E
This report presents the results of a fluorescent-dye-tracing study to determine the concentrations of a pollutant that would be present in the Northeast Cape Fear Estuary at various rates of continuous waste injection and freshwater inflow. Rhodamine WT dye was introduced into the estuary at a constant rate over a...
Definitions of selected ground-water terms, revisions and conceptual refinements
Stanley William Lohman
1972, Water Supply Paper 1988
For many years there has been a need for redefinition or more precise definition of certain ground-water terms used in publications by members of the U.S . Geological Survey. Another problem has been the expression of the coefficient of permeability (herein redefined as hydraulic conductivity) and the coefficient of transmissibility...
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...

Map showing general availability of ground water in the Salina quadrangle, Utah
Don Price
1972, IMAP 591-M
The general availability of ground water was determined from well records collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State, local, and Federal agencies. Data are for aquifers that in most places are less than 1,000 feet below the land surface. In areas of few or no wells, potential well...

Map showing general chemical quality of ground water in the Salina quadrangle, Utah
Don Price
1972, IMAP 591-K
The general chemical quality of water was determined from quality-of-water data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State, local, and Federal agencies. Sources of data include springs, and wells that tap aquifers at depths of less than 1,000 feet. In areas where quality-of-water data are inadequate or lacking,...

Quality of surface water in the Bear River basin, Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho
K.M. Waddell, Don Price
1972, Hydrologic Atlas 417
The United States Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, began a reconnaissance in 1967 to obtain essential water-quality information for the Bear River basin. The reconnaissance was directed toward defining the chemical quality of the basin’s surface waters, including suitability for...
