Feasibility of ground-water features of the alternate plan for the Mountain Home project, Idaho
Raymond L. Nace, S. W. West, R.W. Mowder
1957, Water Supply Paper 1376
An early plan of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation proposed to irrigate 183,000 acres on the arid Snake River Plain south of Boise, Idaho (Mountain Home project) with Boise River water. That water would have been replaced to the Boise Valley with water imported from the Payette River. An...
Floods of April-June 1952 in Utah and Nevada
J. V. B. Wells
1957, Water Supply Paper 1260-E
The floods of April-June 1952 in the Great Basin and in the Green River basin in Utah came as the result of the heaviest snow cover recorded, a long period of near-record subnormal temperature during March and early April, and an abrupt change to above-normal temperature that induced rapid melting.Rainfall...

Ground-water possibilities south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho
E. G. Crosthwaite
1957, Water Supply Paper 1460-C
The Snake River Plain and tributary valleys south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho (here called the South Side area), contain about 180,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 145,000 acres is irrigated with surface water and 35,000 is irrigated wholly or partly with ground water. The area also contains...
The deep channel and alluvial deposits of the Ohio Valley in Kentucky
Eugene H. Walker
1957, Water Supply Paper 1411
The alluvial deposits of Pleistocene age in the Ohio Valley form a ground-water reservoir of large storage capacity and yield. In this region it is the only source of large supplies of water that are both cool and of good quality the year round. The reservoir is heavily drawn upon,...

1957, Water Supply Paper 1415
Sufficient water is available in the basin of the Yadkin and Pee Dee Rivers to meet present requirements and those for many years to come if water use increases at about the present rate. Data presented in this report show that the average annual streamflow from approximately 82 percent of...

The role of lead and excess oxygen in uranite
Robert Morris Berman
1957, Open-File Report 57-11
Analysed samples of uraninite were x-rayed, annealed by heating to 550° and 900° for various times in a nitrogen atmosphere, and x-rayed again. A decrease in unit cell size was generally observed. Calculations on the basis of Vegard's Law showed that the ordering of the interstitial oxygen ions could account...
Estimate of underflow in the Niobrara River Basin across the Wyoming-Nebraska state line
H. M. Babcock, Charles F. Keech
1957, Open-File Report 57-4
The purpose of this report is to estimate the amount of ground water flowing across the Wyoming-Nebraska State line within the Niobrara Rive basin and to evaluate the accuracy of that estimate. The approximate effort involed in obtaining additional data to determine the underflow more accurately also is discussed. This report...

River channel patterns: Braided, meandering, and straight

1957, Professional Paper 282-B
Channel pattern is used to describe the plan view of a reach of river as seen from an airplane, and includes meandering, braiding, or relatively straight channels.Natural channels characteristically exhibit alternating pools or deep reaches and riffles or shallow reaches, regardless of the type of pattern. The length of the...
River flood plains: Some observations on their formation
M. Gordon Wolman, Luna Bergere Leopold
1957, Professional Paper 282-C
On many small rivers and most great rivers, the flood plain consists of channel and overbank deposits. The proportion of the latter is generally very small.Frequency studies indicate that the flood plains of many streams of different sizes flowing in diverse physiographic and climatic regions are subject to flooding about...
