Appraisal of operating efficiency of recharge basins on Long Island, New York, in 1969
D. A. Aronson, G.E. Seaburn
1974, Water Supply Paper 2001-D
Recharge basins on Long Island are unlined pits of various shapes and sizes excavated in surficial deposits of mainly glacial origin. Of the 2,124 recharge basins on Long Island in 1969, approximately 9 percent (194) contain water 5 or more days after a 1-inch rainfall. Basins on Long Island contain...
Floods of September-October 1967 in south Texas and northeastern Mexico
Elmer E. Schroeder, R.U. Grozier, D. C. Hahl, A.E. Hulme
1974, Water Supply Paper 1880-B
Floods produced by Hurricane Beulah during September and October 1967 were outstanding because of the magnitude of the stage and discharge and because of the number of river basins affected. Previously known maximum stages were exceeded, at the downstream station, in five river basins in Texas by amounts ranging from...
Water from the Coastal Plain aquifers in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area
S.S. Papadopulos, R.R. Bennett, F. K. Mack, P.C. Trescott
1974, Circular 697
A brief study of the Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifers in the vicinity of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area was made, using available data, to estimate the water-supply potential of these aquifers and to determine the possibility of developing an emergency water supply during droughts. Assuming that the data available are...
Gold in the Black Hills, South Dakota, and how new deposits might be found
James Jennings Norton
1974, Circular 699
Of the recorded production of 34,694,552 troy ounces of gold mined in South Dakota through 1971, about 90 percent has come from Precambrian ore bodies in the Homestake mine at Lead in the northern Black Hills. Most of the rest has come from ore deposited in the Deadwood Formation (Cambrian)...
Dissolved-solids discharge to the oceans from the conterminous United States
Donald K. Leifeste
1974, Circular 685
Dissolved-solids data from 54 river basins for 1966-69 were used to compute the amount of dissolved material contributed to the oceans from the conterminous United States. The computations show that about 264,000,000 tons are discharged annually. The Gulf of Mexico receives the largest load, about 183,000,000 tons, of which about...
Movement and effects of spilled oil over the outer continental shelf; inadequacy of existent data for the Baltimore Canyon Trough area
Harley J. Knebel
1974, Circular 702
A deductive approach to the problem of determining the movement and effects of spilled oil over the Outer Continental Shelf requires that the potential paths of oil be determined first, in order that critical subareas may be defined for later studies. The paths of spilled oil, in turn, depend primarily...
Model synthesis in frequency analysis of Missouri floods
Leland D. Hauth
1974, Circular 708
Synthetic flood records for 43 small-stream sites aided in definition of techniques for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in Missouri. The long-term synthetic flood records were generated by use of a digital computer model of the rainfall-runoff process. A relatively short period of concurrent rainfall and runoff data...
Water quality of hydrologic bench marks; an indicator of water quality in the natural environment
James E. Biesecker, Donald K. Leifeste
1974, Circular 460-E
Water-quality data, collected at 57 hydrologic bench-mark stations in 37 States, allow the definition of water quality in the 'natural' environment and the comparison of 'natural' water quality with water quality of major streams draining similar water-resources regions. Results indicate that water quality in the 'natural' environment is generally very...
Geology of the San Francisco North quadrangle, California
Julius Schlocker
1974, Professional Paper 782
San Francisco is a heavily built up city in a region of active faults and is subject to earthquakes and landslides. In such an area careful selection of building sites and foundations is imperative. This geologic investigation of the San Francisco North quadrangle was carried out to obtain basic geologic...

Water in the Great Basin region; Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming
Don Price, Thomas E. Eakin
1974, Hydrologic Atlas 487
The Great Basin Region is defined to include the drainage of the Great Basin physiographic section (Fennman, 1931) in Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. In October 1966, the President’s Water Resources Council requested that a comprehensive framework study be made in the Great Basin Region under the leadership of the...
Map showing potential sources of gravel and crushed-rock aggregate in the greater Denver area, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado
D. E. Trimble, H. R. Fitch
1974, IMAP 856-A
Gravel and (or) crushed-rock aggregates are essential commodities for urban development, but supplies in many places are exhausted or otherwise eliminated by urban growth. Gravel resources may be exhausted by exploitation, covered by urban spread, or eliminated from production by zoning. this conflict between a growing need and a progressively...
