Methods of determining permeability, transmissibility and drawdown
Ray Bentall
1964, Water Supply Paper 1536-I
If the Theis graphical method is used for determining the hydraulic constants of an aquifer under water-table conditions, the observed drawdowns should be corrected for the decrease in saturated thickness. This is especially true if the drawdown is a large fraction of the original saturated thickness, for then the computed...
Determination of radium in water
Franklin Butt Barker, J. O. Johnson
1964, Water Supply Paper 1696-B
Radium isotopes are common radioactive constituents of natural waters. The concentration of radium-226 in potable water is of particular significance because this isotope is generally considered the most hazardous of all radionuclides with respect to ingestion. The approximate concentration of radium-226 is determined after coprecipitating radium with barium sulfate. The...
Ground-water resources of Waupaca County, Wisconsin
Charles F. Berkstresser
1964, Water Supply Paper 1669-U
Waupaca County is in east-central Wisconsin. No serious ground-water problems existed in 1960 except in a few localities where crystalline rock is near land surface or is covered by nearly impermeable till. The use of ground water for irrigation has not appreciably affected ground-water levels. The county is covered by Pleistocene...
Chemical composition of snow in the northern Sierra Nevada and other areas
John Henry Frederick Feth, S. M. Rogers, Charles Elmer Roberson
1964, Water Supply Paper 1535-J
Melting snow provides a large part of the water used throughout the western conterminous United States for agriculture, industry, and domestic supply. It is an active agent in chemical weathering, supplies moisture for forest growth, and sustains fish and wildlife. Despite its importance, virtually nothing has been known of the...
Water resources of the Flint area, Michigan
Sulo Werner Wiitala, K.E. Vanlier, Robert A. Krieger
1964, Water Supply Paper 1499-E
This report describes the water resources of Genesee County, Mich., whose principal city is Flint. The sources of water available to the county are the Flint and Shiawassee Rivers and their tributaries, inland lakes, ground water, and Lake Huron. The withdrawal use of water in the county in 1958 amounted...
The effect of artesian-pressure decline on confined aquifer systems and its relation to land subsidence
J. H. Green
1964, Water Supply Paper 1779-T
Ground water in the Southwestern United States is derived chiefly from unconsolidated to semiconsolidated alluvial deposits. Where these deposits contain confined water, they may be susceptible to compaction and related land- surface subsidence, if artesian pressures are reduced. Compaction of artesian-aquifer systems can be estimated from core tests if the...
Geology and ground-water resources of Uvalde County, Texas
F.A. Welder, R.D. Reeves
1964, Water Supply Paper 1584
The principal aquifer in Uvalde County is the Edwards and associated limestones of Cretaceous age. The aquifer underlies an extensive area in south-central Texas extending along the Balcones fault zone from Kinney County eastward to San Antonio, and thence northeastward to Hays County. The hydrologic unit making up the Edwards...
Availability of ground water in parts of the Acoma and Laguna Indian Reservations, New Mexico
George A. Dinwiddie, Ward Sundt Motts
1964, Water Supply Paper 1576-E
The need for additional water has increased in recent years on the Acoma and Laguna Indian Reservations in west-central New Mexico because the population and per capita use of water have increased; the tribes also desire water for light industry, for more modern schools, and to increase their irrigation program....
Artesian water in the Malabar coastal plain of southern Kerala, India
George C. Taylor, P.K. Ghosh
1964, Water Supply Paper 1608-D
The present report is based on a geological and hydrological reconnaissance during 1954 of the Malabar Coastal Plain and adjacent island area of southern Kerala to evaluate the availability of ground water for coastal villages and municipalities and associated industries and the potentialities for future development. The work was done...
