Effect of reservoir storage on peak flow
William D. Mitchell
1962, Water Supply Paper 1580-C
For observation of small-basin flood peaks, numerous crest-stage gages now are operated at culverts in roadway embankments. To the extent that they obstruct the natural flood plains of the streams, these embankments serve to create detention reservoirs, and thus to reduce the magnitude of observed peak flows. Hence, it is...
Asbestos in the United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii
A.H. Chidester, A. F. Shride
1962, Mineral Investigations Resource Map 17
The asbestos deposits in the United States (exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii) are shown on the accompanying map. The principal mineralogic types of asbestos (chrysotile and amphibole) are indicated by the shape of symbols, and the relative importance of the deposit is indicated by the size of symbols. The text...
Ground-water reconnaissance in Round Valley, Custer County, Idaho
E. G. Crosthwaite
1962, Open-File Report 62-33
Round Valley in central Idaho contains alluvial deposits of Pleistocene and Recent age which yield adequate supplies of ground water for stock and domestic wells. The alluvial deposits are underlain by Challis Volcanics of Oligocene or Early Miocene age and a few wells obtain domestic and stock water from the...
Explorations for water supplies on the public domain, 1960
William Stewart Eisenlohr
1962, Circular 461
In making reconnaissances for water supplies on the public domain as part of the Soil and Moisture Conservation Program of the Department of the Interior, the Geological Survey obtains information on the availability of water that is useful for other purposes or in other areas. This report contains the information...
Biogeochemistry of vanadium
Helen L. Cannon
1962, Open-File Report 62-25
Vanadium is known to occur in soils as vanadates of copper, zinc, lead, uranium, ferric iron, manganese, calcium, and potassium. Vanadium replaces aluminum in clays and occurs in porphyrin complexes in bituminous sediments.Small amounts of vanadium are stimulating to plants; large amounts are toxic. Ten to 20 ppm vanadium in...
Relation between ground water and surface water in Brandywine Creek basin, Pennsylvania
F. H. Olmsted, A. G. Hely
1962, Professional Paper 417-A
The relation between ground water and surface water was studied in Brandywine Creek basin, an area of 287 square miles in the Piedmont physiographic province in southeastern Pennsylvania. Most of the basin is underlain by crystalline rocks that yield only small to moderate supplies of water to wells, but the...
The man and the hill
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, Circular 460-A
He was sitting on a large slab of rock. As he looked at the cloud of dust hanging hazily on the horizon, the piece of antler and the block of flint he held in his hand hung as if they were suspended from their previous rapid motion. The man gazed...
Reconnaissance of ground-water resources in the Western Coal Field Region, Kentucky
Bruce William Maxwell, Robert Washburn Devaul
1962, Water Supply Paper 1599
In the Western Coal Field region of Kentucky, water is obtained from consolidated sedimentary rocks of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian ages and from unconsolidated sediments of Cenozoic age. Pennsylvanian rocks crop out in more than 95 percent of the area and consist of shale and sandstone interbedded with some limestone and...
Floods in Utah, magnitude and frequency
Vernon K. Berwick
1962, Circular 457
This report presents a procedure for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods, within the range of the base data, for any site, gaged or ungaged. From the relation of annual floods to the mean annual flood, a composite frequency curve was derived for recurrence intervals of 1.1 to 50...
An application of thermometry to the study of ground water
Robert Schneider
1962, Water Supply Paper 1544-B
Except for studies of temperature data related to ground-water developments that induce infiltration from streams, little attention has been given to the possibility of using temperature fluctuations as a tool for studying the elements of the hydrologic cycle involving ground water. The temperature of the water discharged from large installations that...
