Exploratory drilling for ground water in the Mountain Iron-Virginia area, St. Louis County, Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, J.E. Rogers
1961, Water Supply Paper 1539-A
The Mountain Iron-Virginia area is a broad, southwest-trending valley in the central part of the Mesabi Range. The valley, which heads in the Laurentian Divide, and covers about 120 square miles, coincides approximately with a bedrock valley filled with as much as 150 feet of glacial deposits. A complex sequence of...

Water requirements of the copper industry
Orville Durey Mussey
1961, Water Supply Paper 1330-E
The copper industry in 1955 used about 330 million gallons of water per day in the mining and manufacturing of primary copper. This amount is about 0.3 percent of the total estimated withdrawals of industrial water in the United States in 1955. These facts were determined by a survey, in...
Water resources of the Raft River basin, Idaho-Utah
Raymond L. Nace
1961, Water Supply Paper 1587
Much arable land in the Raft River basin of Idaho lacks water for irrigation, and the potentially irrigable acreage far exceeds the amount that could be irrigated with the estimated total supply of water. Therefore, the amount of uncommitted water that could be intercepted and used within the basin is...
Simplified methods for computing total sediment discharge with the modified Einstein procedure
Bruce R. Colby, David Wellington Hubbell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1593
A procedure was presented in 1950 by H. A. Einstein for computing the total discharge of sediment particles of sizes that are in appreciable quantities in the stream bed. This procedure was modified by the U.S. Geological Survey and adapted to computing the total sediment discharge of a stream on...
Progress report on wells penetrating artesian aquifers in South Dakota
R. W. Davis, C.F. Dyer, J.E. Powell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1534
Artesian aquifers underlie most of South Dakota and large areas in adjacent States. About 15,000 wells have been completed since 1881 in these aquifers within South Dakota. Many wells that originally flowed have ceased to flow and have been abandoned, and others have been equipped with pumps. Many thousands, however,...

Aquifers in melt-water channels along the southwest flank of the Des Moines Lobe, Lyon County, Minnesota
Robert Schneider, Harry G. Rodis
1961, Water Supply Paper 1539-F
During the Gary and Mankato substages of Wisconsin glaciation the Des Moines lobe advanced southeastward through the broad lowland of the Minnesota River valley of southwestern Minnesota, and thence southward to central Iowa. Among the most prominent topographic features in Lyon County, Minn., are five southeastward-trending end moraines, two of which...

Preliminary estimate of water used in southeast river basins, 1960
Kenneth Allen MacKichan, John Craig Kammerer
1961, Circular 449
The estimated withdrawal use of water in the Southeast River Basins during 1960 was about 3,900 mgd exclusive of water used to develop waterpower and exclusive of water used by the Savannah River Plant of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. This estimated use amounts to 770 gallons per capita per...
Potential water power of Lake Chakachamna, Alaska
Bruce Lawellin Jackson
1961, Open-File Report 61-74
Lake Chakachamna, in view of its area, altitude, and location on a region of high precipitation and runoff, has a large potential power value. The outflow from the lake, based on limited streamflow records varies from less than 60 cfs to well over 15,000 cfs, with an annual flow in...
Floods of September 6, 1960, in eastern Puerto Rico
Harry Hawthorne Barnes, Dean Butler Bogart
1961, Circular 451
The floods of September 6, 1960, were the greatest known on many streams in eastern Puerto Rico. There were 117 lives lost, 30 persons missing, and 136 injured. Total damage was estimated in excess of $7 million. Several thousand persons were forced from their homes by the floods as 484,...
Estimated use of water in the United States, 1960
K.A. MacKichan, J.C. Kammerer
1961, Circular 456
The estimated overage withdrawal use of water in the United States during 1960 was almost 270,000 mgd (million gallons per day), exclusive of water used to develop water power. This estimated use amounts to about 1,500 gpd (galIons per day) per capita. An additional 2,000,000 mgd were used to develop...

The Crescent Valley is an intermontane basin in Eureka and Lander Counties, just south of the Humboldt River in north-central Nevada. The valley floor, with an area of about 150 square miles, has a shape that more nearly resembles a Y than a crescent, although the valley apparently was named...
