Specific yield - laboratory experiments showing the effect of time on column drainage
Robert C. Prill, A.I. Johnson, Donald Arthur Morris
1965, Water Supply Paper 1662-B
The increasing use of ground water from many major aquifers in the United States has required a more thorough understanding of gravity drainage, or specific yield. This report describes one phase of specific yield research by the U.S. Geological Survey's Hydrologic Laboratory in cooperation with the California Department of Water...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1961
J.O. Rostvedt
1965, Water Supply Paper 1810
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1961. The most damaging floods during the year were those caused by snowmelt in March and April in the upper Mississippi River basin and those accompanying Hurricane Carla in September.Hurricane Carla traveled northward along the east edge of...
Quality of surface waters in the lower Columbia River Basin
John F. Santos
1965, Water Supply Paper 1784
This report, made during 1959-60, provides reconnaissance data on the quality of waters in the lower Columbia River basin ; information on present and future water problems in the basin; and data that can be employed both in water-use studies and in planning future industrial, municipal, and agricultural expansion within...
Geology and ground water in the central part of Apache County, Arizona
J. P. Akers
1965, Water Supply Paper 1771
The central part of Apache County, Ariz., includes an area of about 3,300 square miles between the Navajo Indian Reservation to the north and U.S. Highway 60 to the south. Sedimentary rocks in the area range from Pennsylvanian to Quaternary in age and from 2,000 to more than 6,000 feet...
Water-resources reconnaissance of the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas
Donald R. Albin
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-J
The Jenkins-Whitesburg area includes approximately 250 square miles in Letcher and Pike Counties in the southeastern part of the Eastern Coal Field. In this area ground water is the principal source of water for nearly all rural families, most public supplies, several coal mines and coal processing plants, and one...
Geology and hydrology of the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, Montana
Douglas C. Alverson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1576-F
The Fort Belknap Indian Reservation includes an area of 970 square miles in north-central Montana. At its north edge is the Milk River valley, which is underlain by Recent alluvium of the Milk River, glacial deposits, and alluvial deposits of the preglacial Missouri River, which carved and occupied this valley...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States, part 3–A. Ohio River Basin except Cumberland and Tennessee River Basins
Paul R. Speer, Charles R. Gamble
1965, Water Supply Paper 1675
This report presents a means of determining the probable magnitude and frequency of floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years at most points on streams in the Ohio River basin except Cumberland and Tennessee River basins.Curves are defined that show the relation between the drainage area and...
Geology and ground-water resources of Waushara County, Wisconsin
William Kelly Summers
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-B
Abundant ground water for irrigation is available in the outwash deposits in western Waushara County, and many more large-capacity wells can be developed in these deposits without seriously lowering the water level. Pumping for irrigation temporarily lowers water levels in the vicinity of the wells but has not lowered regional...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1960
J.O. Rostvedt
1965, Water Supply Paper 1790-B
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1960. No major floods occurred during the year, although two floods caused severe damage the first in March and April in eastern Nebraska and adjacent areas, and the second in September in Puerto Rico.Unseasonal rains in mid-March caused...
Hydrology of melt-water channels in southwestern Minnesota
Gerald L. Thompson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-K
Melt-water channel deposits are among the most important aquifers in southwestern Minnesota, but permeable zones within the deposits are difficult to locate. Interpretation of the depositional history of proglacial channel deposits from aerial photographs and test-hole samples indicates the position of the permeable zones. Generally, the coarse-grained deposits are in...

R.V. Cushman, R. A. Krieger, John A. McCabe
1965, Water Supply Paper 1475-Q
The increase in the number of visitors during the past several years at Mammoth Cave National Park has rendered the present water supply inadequate. Emergency measures were necessary during August 1962 to supplement the available supply. The Green River is the largest potential source of water supply for Mammoth Cave....
