Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States, part 13. Snake River basin
C.A. Thomas, H. C. Broom, J. E. Cummans
1963, Water Supply Paper 1688
The magnitude of a flood of any selected frequency up to 50 years for any site on any stream in the Snake River basin can be determined by methods outlined in this report, with some limitations. The methods are not applicable for regulated streams, for drainage basins smaller than 10...
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...
Ground-water resources of the Alma area, Michigan
Kenneth E. Vanlier
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-E
The Alma area consists of 30 square miles in the northwestern part of Gratiot County, Mich. It is an area of slight relief gently rolling hills and level plains and is an important agricultural center in the State.The Saginaw formation, which forms the bedrock surface in part of the area,...
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...
Geology and ground-water resources of Winkler County, Texas
Sergio Garza, John B. Wesselman
1963, Water Supply Paper 1582
Winkler County, in west Texas, is adjacent to the southeast corner of New Mexico. Most of the county lies in the Pecos Valley; the remainder, in the northeastern part of the county, is part of the Llano Estacado, or the High Plains. Its principal industries are those related to the...
Ground-water exploration in Al Marj area, Cyrenaica, United Kingdom of Libya
T.G. Newport, Yousef Haddor
1963, Water Supply Paper 1757-A
The present report, based largely on fieldwork during 1959-61, describes the results of reconnaissance hydrogeologic studies and exploratory drilling to evaluate the general water-bearing properties of the rocks and the availability of groundwater supplies for irrigation, stock, and village uses in Al Marj area. These studies and the drilling were...
Water resources of Red River Parish, Louisiana
Roy Newcome, Leland Vernon Page
1963, Water Supply Paper 1614
Red River Parish is on the eastern flank of the Sabine uplift in northwestern Louisiana. The 'area is underlain by lignitic clay and sand of Paleocene and Eocene age which dip to the east at the rate of about 30 feet per mile. The Red River is entrenched in these...
