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...

Salinity of the ground water in western Pinal County, Arizona
Lester Ray Kister, W. F. Hardt
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-E
The chemical quality of the ground water in western Pinal County is nonuniform areally and stratigraphically. The main areas of highly mineralized water are near Casa Grande and near Coolidge. Striking differences have been noted in the quality of water from different depths in the same well. Water from one...

Organic acids in naturally colored surface waters
William L. Lamar, D.F. Goerlitz
1966, Water Supply Paper 1817-A
Most of the organic matter in naturally colored surface waters consists of a mixture of carboxylic acids or salts of these acids. Many of the acids color the water yellow to brown; however, not all of the acids are colored. These acids range from simple to complex, but predominantly they...

Ground-water resources of Sheridan County, Wyoming
Marlin E. Lowry, T. Ray Cummings
1966, Water Supply Paper 1807
Sheridan County is in the north-central part of Wyoming and is an area of about 2,500 square miles. The western part of the county is in the Bighorn Mountains, and the eastern part is in the Powder River structural basin. Principal streams are the Powder and Tongue Rivers, which are...
Salt-water encroachment in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, New York
N.J. Lusczynski, Wolfgang V. Swarzenski
1966, Water Supply Paper 1613-F
Test drilling, extraction of water from cores, electric logging, water sampling, and water-level measurements from 1958 to 1961 provided a suitable basis for a substantial refinement in the definition of the positions, chloride concentrations, and rates of movement of salty water in the intermediate and deep deposits of southern Nassau...
Reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water resources in the Aurora area, St. Louis county, Minnesota
Robert W. Maclay
1966, Water Supply Paper 1809-U
The Aurora area is a glaciated upland of drift-mantled slopes, channels, swamps, and glacial-lake plains. It covers about 24 square miles of the eastern part of the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota. A deep narrow channel along the Embarrass River, the principal outlet of a former large glacial lake...
Sedimentation and chemical quality of surface water in the Heart River drainage basin, North Dakota
Marion L. Maderak
1966, Water Supply Paper 1823
The Heart River drainage basin of southwestern North Dakota comprises an area of 3,365 square miles and lies within the Missouri Plateau of the Great Plains province. Streamflow of the Heart River and its tributaries during 1949-58 was directly proportional to .the drainage area. After the construction of Heart Butte...

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...
Utilization of ground water in the Santa Maria Valley area, California
G.A. Miller, R. E. Evenson
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-A
Overdraft in the Santa Maria Valley ground-water basin since about 1946 has resulted in a significant decline in water levels throughout the basin as ground water has been removed from storage. In 1959 approximately 2,200,000 acre-feet of ground water was in storage above sea level in the ground-water reservoir. Estimates...
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...

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...
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...
