In the Raft River basin in south-central Idaho, ground-water withdrawals for irrigation have more than doubled since 1955, when data were compiled for a comprehensive report on the area. The present report summerizes data on the ground-water use and changes in the water regimen during the intervening 5 years. Water...
Hydrologic and geologic reconnaissance of Pinto Basin, Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside County, California

1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-O
Pinto basin, in the north-central part of Riverside County, Calif., is a typical desert valley formed by downfaulting along several major fault zones. The valley is filled with alluvium, and ground water in the alluvium discharges as subsurface outflow through an alluvium-filled gap at the east end of the valley....

Ground-water contamination and legal controls in Michigan
Morris Deutsch
1963, Water Supply Paper 1691
The great importance of the fresh ground-water resources of Michigan is evident because 90 percent of the rural and about 70 percent of the total population of the State exclusive of the Detroit metropolitan area are supplied from underground sources. The water-supply and public-health problems that have been caused by...
Ground-water geology of Edwards County, Texas

1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-J
Edwards County occupies 2,075 square miles of the southern part of the Edwards Plateau in southwest Texas. In 1950 it had a population of 2,908. Its thin limestone soil supports the characteristic flora of a semiarid region. The county is underlain by nearly flat-lying beds of limestone and a few...

The role of ground water in the national water situation: With state summaries based on reports by District Offices of Ground Water Branch
Charles Lee McGuinness
1963, Water Supply Paper 1800
Ground water in the United States has emerged from a quantitatively minor (though incalculably valuable) water source, whose chief role was in the settlement of primitive areas, to a major source now accounting for one-fifth to one-sixth of the Nation's total withdrawal requirements for water. With the growth in ground-water...

Water requirements of the styrene, butadiene and synthetic-rubber industries
Charles N. Durfor
1963, Water Supply Paper 1330-F
About 710 million gallons of makeup water is withdrawn daily by the styrene, butadiene, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and specialty-rubber industries; 88 percent of this water is used only for once-through cooling. About 429 million gallons of water daily (mgd) is withdrawn by the butadiene industry; 158 ragd is withdrawn by...
Chemical quality of surface waters in Pennsylvania
Charles N. Durfor, Peter W. Anderson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-W
Pennsylvania has an abundant supply of surface water of good quality. The average rainfall over the 45,300 square miles in the State is about 42 inches per year. Of this amount, about 50 percent appears in the streams as runoff. The combined mean annual runoff of the Delaware, Ohio, and...

Water in the Dakota and Purgatoire Formations in Otero County and the southern part of Crowley County, Colorado
William G. Weist
1963, Water Supply Paper 1669-P
The hardness of available shallow ground water in Otero County and in the southern part of Crowley County generally exceeds 1,000 parts per million, and the water requires treatment for most uses. To obtain a supply of softer water, wells have been drilled into the Dakota Sandstone and the Cheyenne...
