Ground-water studies and analog models
Charles Joseph Robinove
1962, Circular 468
Hydrologists make ground-water studies to aid managers and users of water resources in solving their problems in the development and management of ground water. Geologic and hydrologic information provides the basic knowledge for construction of electric analog models that portray the ground-water system in miniature. Analog models can be analyzed...

Floods of February 1962 in southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada
Cecil Albert Thomas, Robert D. Lamke
1962, Circular 467
The floods of February 10-15, 1969., were the highest known on many streams in southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada. Some of the peak discharges have recurrence intervals greater than a hundred years. The floods resulted from an unusual combination of conditions, each of which contributed to the sudden severe flooding....
Flow through openings in width constrictions
Jacob Davidian, P.H. Carrigan Jr., John Shen
1962, Water Supply Paper 1369-D
A highway embankment across a stream channel may have one or several bridge openings. In 1953, the pattern of flow through a single opening was quantitatively described by C. E. Kindsvater, R. W. Carter, and H. J. Tracy. The present investigation of the flow pattern at constrictions with two to...
Methods of measuring soil moisture in the field
A.I. Johnson
1962, Water Supply Paper 1619-U
For centuries, the amount of moisture in the soil has been of interest in agriculture. The subject of soil moisture is also of great importance to the hydrologist, forester, and soils engineer. Much equipment and many methods have been developed to measure soil moisture under field conditions. This report discusses...
A formula for computing transmissibility causing maximum possible drawdown due to pumping
G.M. Robinson, Herbert E. Skibitzke
1962, Water Supply Paper 1536-F
By modifying the Theis nonequilibrium formula a relation is found in which the maximum possible drawdown is expressed in terms of a unique value for the aquifer coefficient of transmissibility. The relation is valid for any specified period and rate of pumping, for a given aquifer coefficient of storage, and...
Ground-water resources of Camas Prairie, Camas and Elmore Counties, Idaho
William Clarence Walton
1962, Water Supply Paper 1609
Camas Prairie is an eastward-trending intermontane basin along the north flank of the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho. The basin is about 40 miles long and averages about 8 miles wide. It was formed as a structural depression in which a considerable thickness of alluvial and lake deposits accumulated...
Experiments in water spreading at Newark, Delaware
Durward Haye Boggess, Donald Robert Rima
1962, Water Supply Paper 1594-B
Two experiments in water spreading were made at Newark, Del., to evaluate the prospects of using excess storm runoff to recharge the shallow water-table aquifer which serves the community. Water was diverted from 1 of the city's 3 production wells and released into an infiltration ditch near the municipal well...

Theory of aquifer tests
J.G. Ferris, D.B. Knowles, R. H. Brown, R.H. Stallman
1962, Water Supply Paper 1536-E
The development of water supplies from wells was placed on a rational basis with Darcy's development of the law governing the movement of fluids through sands and with Dupuit's application of that law to the problem of radial flow toward a pumped well. As field experience increased, confidence in the...
