The application, technique, and theory of Gish-Rooney instruments, methods, and interpretation in electrical resistivity measurements
H. Cecil Spicer
1957, Open-File Report 58-99
The foundations of electrical prospecting were laid by Fox (1830) and Barus (1882). The former discovered that electrical currents and potentials were developed by certain ore deposits in Cornwall, England. Fox made measurements of these potentials and determined the resistivities of the minerals and surrounding rocks also. The latter, invented...

Ground-water geology of the Bruneau–Grand View area, Owyhee County, Idaho
Robert Thomas Littleton, E. G. Crosthwaite
1957, Water Supply Paper 1460-D
The Bruneau-Grand View area is part of an artesian basin in northern Owyhee County, Idaho. The area described in this report comprises about 600 square miles, largely of undeveloped public domain, much of which is open, or may be opened, for desert-entry filing. Many irrigation-entry applications to the Federal Government...
Salt water and its relation to fresh ground water in Harris County, Texas
Allen G. Winslow, William Watson Doyel, L.A. Wood
1957, Water Supply Paper 1360-F
Harris County, in the West Gulf Coastal Plain in southeastern Texas, has one of the heaviest concentrations of ground-water withdrawal in the United States. Large quantities of water are pumped to meet the requirements of the rapidly growing population, for industry, and for rice irrigation. The water is pumped from...
Geology and ground-water resources of Outagamie County, Wisconsin
E. F. LeRoux
1957, Water Supply Paper 1421
Outagamie County is in east-central Wisconsin. It has no serious groundwater problem at present, but the county is important as a recharge area for the principal aquifers supplying water to Brown County and industrial Green Bay to the east. The county is covered by glacial drift and lake deposits of the...

Preliminary survey of the saline-water resources of the United States
Robert A. Krieger, J.L. Hatchett, J. L. Poole
1957, Water Supply Paper 1374
Basic hydrologic data available in the field offices of the U. S. Geological Survey and reports issued by the Survey furnish evidence that saline water (defined in this report as water containing more than 1,000 parts per million of dissolved solids) is available under diverse geologic and hydrologic conditions throughout...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1951
J. V. B. Wells
1957, Water Supply Paper 1227-D
One of the greatest and most destructive floods of the century occurred in 1951-the July flood in Kansas and Missouri. Losses caused by that flood were about five times the total flood losses in the United States during 1950. Total flood losses in the United States during 1951 were about...
Water resources of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin, North Carolina
