Geology and ground-water resources of the Lake Dakota Plain area, South Dakota
William B. Hopkins, Lester R. Petri
1963, Water Supply Paper 1539-T
The Lake Dakota plain area is a nearly flat surface that includes parts of Spink, Brown, Marshall, and Day Counties in northeastern South Dakota. Agriculture is the principal occupation. Because precipitation often is insufficient for maximum crop production, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has developed a plan for irrigation of...
Factors influencing the occurrence of floods in a humid region of diverse terrain
M. A. Benson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1580-B
This report describes relations between flood peaks and hydrologic factors in a humid region with limited climatic variation but a diversity of terrain. Statistical multiple-regression techniques have been applied to hydrologic data on New England. Many topographic and climatic factors have been evaluated. and their relations to flood peaks have...
Progress report on the ground-water resources of the Louisville area, Kentucky, 1949-55
Edwin A. Bell, Robert W. Kellogg, Willis K. Kulp
1963, Water Supply Paper 1579
In the Louisville area, the principal water-bearing formations are the glacial-outwash sand and gravel and, in places, the underlying limestone. During the period 1949 through 1955 pumpage from the two aquifers averaged about 30 mgd (million gallons per day). The pumpage was approximately in balance with the normal net recharge...
Salt-water encroachment, geology, and ground-water resources of Savannah area, Georgia and South Carolina
H. B. Counts, Ellis Donsky
1963, Water Supply Paper 1611
The Savannah area consists of about 2,300 square miles of the Coastal Plain along the coast of eastern Georgia and southeastern South Carolina. Savannah is near the center of the area. Most of the large ground-water developments are in or near Savannah. About 98 percent of the approximately 60 mgd...

Effects of hydraulic and geologic factors on streamflow of the Yakima River Basin, Washington
Hallard B. Kinnison, Jack E. Sceva
1963, Water Supply Paper 1595
The Yakima River basin, in south-central Washington, is the largest single river system entirely within the confines of the State. Its waters are the most extensively utilized of all the rivers in Washington. The river heads high on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains, flows for 180 miles in a...

Ground water for public supply in St. Croix, Virgin Islands
Garth Edison Hendrickson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1663-D
The ground-water resources of St. Croix, V.I., if properly developed should be adequate to supply the present and near-future demand for water for public supply. Ground water is obtained from weathered volcanic and intrusive rocks (bedrocks), from limestone, and from alluvium. The water obtained from weathered bedrocks and from alluvium...
Hydrogeology of Middle Canyon, Oquirrh Mountains, Tooele County, Utah
Joseph Spencer Gates
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-K
Geology and climate are the principal influences affecting the hydrology of Middle Canyon, Tooele County, Utah. Reconnaissance in the canyon indicated that the geologic influences on the hydrology may be localized; water may be leaking through fault and fracture zones or joints in sandstone and through solution openings in limestone...

Specific Yield--Column drainage and centrifuge moisture content
A.I. Johnson, R.C. Prill, D. A. Morris
1963, Water Supply Paper 1662-A
The specific yield of a rock or soil, with respect to water, is the ratio of (1) the volume of water which, after being saturated, it will yield by gravity to (2) its own volume. Specific retention represents the water retained against gravity drainage. The specific yield and retention when...
