Hydraulics of wells
Thad G. McLaughlin
1955, Open-File Report 55-104
Although the subject of this lecture is supposed to be concerned primarily with the hydraulics of wells, Professor Weers has asked that I also discuss the effects tat geological formations have on the quantity and quality of water available to wells. I will discuss the geology of Colorado in relation...
Extending flood-frequency graphs by comparison with rainfall
W. B. Langbein
1955, Open-File Report 55-90
Flood discharge is the consequence of many contributing hydrologic events which may be presumed to occur fortuitously and independently, such that the probability of a given flood is the product of the probability of each independent contributing event.  Of the many factors that lead to a flood, the two most...
Ground-water program in Alabama
P.E. LaMoreaux
1955, Open-File Report 55-87
Several recent years of drought have emphasized the importance of Alabama's ground-water supplies, a matter of concern to us all.  So far we have been blessed in Alabama with ample ground-water, although a combination of increased use, waste, pollution, and drought has brought about critical local water shortages.  These problems...
Ground-water hydraulics - A summary of lectures presented by John G. Ferris at short courses conducted by the Ground Water Branch, part 1, Theory
D.B. Knowles
1955, Open-File Report 55-85
The objective of the Ground Water Branch is to evaluate the occurrence, availability, and quality of ground water.  The science of ground-water hydrology is applied toward attaining that goal.  Although many ground-water investigations are of a qualitative nature, quantitative studies are necessarily an integral component of the complete evaluation of...
Magnitude and frequency of summer floods in western New Mexico and eastern Arizona
F.W. Kennon
1955, Open-File Report 55-82
Numerous small reservoirs and occasional water-spreading structures are being built on the ephemeral streams draining the public and Indian lands of the Southwest as part of the Soil and Moisture Conservation Program of the Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Indian Affairs.  Economic design of these structures requires some...
Water levels in observation wells in Nebraska during 1954
C.F. Keech, R.L. Case
1955, Open-File Report 55-80
The observation well program, begun in 1934 in cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division, University of Nebraska, was continued during 1954.  The United States Geological Survey began a series of ground-water investigations in Nebraska during the fall of 1945, as part of the program for development of the Missouri...
Double Moutain Fork Brazos River between Lubbock and Buffalo Lakes, Texas
J.O. Joerns
1955, Open-File Report 55-73
The purpose of this investigation was to study quantity, quality, and possible sources of the low flow and spring inflow of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River between the Lubbock sewage disposal plant, 3 miles southeast of Lubbock, and a County Road crossing about 15 miles downstream and...
Interim report on results of test drilling in the Savannah area, Georgia and South Carolina
Stephen M. Herrick, Robert L. Wait
1955, Open-File Report 55-65
The purpose of this investigation which is being made in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Mines, Mining and Geology, Chatham County, and the City of Savannah, is to determine whether salt-water encroachment has occurred in the principal limestone aquifer in the Savannah area, and, if so, to delimit the...
Ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction, Pinal County, Arizona
L.A. Heindl
1955, Open-File Report 55-63
The development of the San Manuel copper prospect has greatly increased traffic along State Highway 77. Considerable interest in commercial possibilities along that road has resulted in a request by the Arizona State Land Department for information about the ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction. This request came too...
Water supplies for irrigation in the Northeast
C.H. Hardison, O. M. Hackett
1955, Open-File Report 55-57
The subject of this paper as given on the program is "Water Supplies for Irrigation in the Northeast."  Both surface-water and ground-water resources are discussed, although with somewhat differing approaches.  First we discuss the use of streamflow data in estimating the surface-water supplies available for irrigation use.  Then we treat...
