Treatment of East Bay, Alger County, Michigan, with toxaphene for control of sea lampreys
William E. Gaylord, Bernard R. Smith
1966, Investigations in Fish Control 7
An experiment was conducted to determine whether toxaphene can be used to eradicate lake-dwelling sea lampreys and to determine its effect on fish populations. In East Bay, a 78-acre lake on the Sucker River, Alger County, Mich., an estimated concentration of 100 parts per billion was maintained for 14 days....
Evaluation of p,p'-DDT as a reference toxicant in bioassays
Leif L. Marking
1966, Investigations in Fish Control 10
p,p'-DDT was tested as a reference standard toxicant against 19 species of freshwater fish, including 39 lots from 10 sources. In particular, the rapidity, nonselectivity, and consistency of its toxicity to fish were evaluated in 96-hour static bioassays. The chemical was rapidly and consistently toxic to lake trout, carp, green...

Induced recharge of an artesian glacial-drift aquifer at Kalamazoo, Michigan
J.E. Reed, Morris Deutsch, S.W. Wiitala
1966, Water Supply Paper 1594-D
As part of a program for managing its ground-water supply, the city of Kalamazoo has constructed induced-recharge facilities at the sites of several of its well fields. To determine the benefits of induced recharge in a water-management program, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city, conducted a series...
Geology and water resources of Winnebago County, Wisconsin
Perry C. Olcott
1966, Water Supply Paper 1814
Sources or water in Winnebago County include surface water from the Fox and Wolf Rivers and their associated lakes, and ground water from sandstone, dolomite, and sand and gravel deposits. Surface water is hard and generally requires treatment, but is then suitable for municipal and most industrial uses. Pollution is...

1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-D
The Fort Huachuca Military Reservation, on the northeast flank of the Huachuca Mountains, is in the southern part of the San Pedro River drainage in the Basin and Range physiographic province in Arizona. The main sources of water available in the reservation area are ground water stored in two unconsolidated...
Ground-water resources of the Dayton area, Ohio
Stanley Eugene Norris, Andrew Maute Spieker
1966, Water Supply Paper 1808
The principal aquifers of the Dayton area are sand and gravel layers in the 150- to 250-foot thick glacial deposits filling the river valleys (Miami River and its tributaries), which were originally cut in bedrock by preglacial streams. The upper and lower aquifers are separated by a poorly permeable till-rich...
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...

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)...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States: Part 10. The Great Basin
E. Butler, J.K. Reid, V.K. Berwick
1966, Water Supply Paper 1684
The probable magnitude of floods of any recurrence interval between 1.1 and 50 years for any stream in the Great Basin can be determined by methods presented in this report.The Great Basin comprises nearly all of Nevada, western Utah, eastern California, and parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming. The physiography...
Fresh-water discharge salinity relations in the tidal Delaware River
Walter B. Keighton
1966, Water Supply Paper 1586-G
Sustained flows of fresh water greater than 3,500, 4,400, and 5,300 cubic feet per second into the Delaware River estuary at Trenton, NJ assure low salinity at League Island, Eddystone, and Marcus Hook, respectively. When the discharge at Trenton is less than these critical values, salinity is very sensitive to...
