1965, Open-File Report 65-153
The Permian Basin (fig. 1) comprises a large area in the southern midcontinent region and includes major portions of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Within this basin brine springs and seeps discharge more than 20,000 tons per day of sodium chloride (common table salt). This brine contaminates many streams...

The validity of geologic projection, a successful example: the Straight Creek Tunnel pilot bore, Colorado
Charles Sherwood Robinson, Fitzhugh T. Lee
1965, Open-File Report 65-138
Projection of details of surface geology to depth prior to construction has met with only limited success in many tunneling operations. in the Straight Creek Tunnel pilot bore good results were obtained by making predictions of the extent and kinds but not the exact locations of conditions that could be...

Water resources in the vicinity of municipalities on the east-central Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young, L. R. Petri, C. H. Prior
1965, Water Supply Paper 1759-E
Additional supplies of water are available near the municipalities on the east-central Mesabi Iron Range. Both ground water and surface water offer good potential supplies. For the ground-water supplies, the most productive aquifers are the Biwabik Iron Formation and the stratified glacial drift. Surface-water supplies are variable. Streams in the...
Hydrology of melt-water channels in southwestern Minnesota
Gerald L. Thompson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-K
Melt-water channel deposits are among the most important aquifers in southwestern Minnesota, but permeable zones within the deposits are difficult to locate. Interpretation of the depositional history of proglacial channel deposits from aerial photographs and test-hole samples indicates the position of the permeable zones. Generally, the coarse-grained deposits are in...

Geology and ground-water resources of Waushara County, Wisconsin
William Kelly Summers
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-B
Abundant ground water for irrigation is available in the outwash deposits in western Waushara County, and many more large-capacity wells can be developed in these deposits without seriously lowering the water level. Pumping for irrigation temporarily lowers water levels in the vicinity of the wells but has not lowered regional...
