Hydraulic and hydrologic aspects of flood-plain planning
S.W. Wiitala, K.R. Jetter, Alan J. Sommerville
1961, Water Supply Paper 1526
The valid incentives compelling occupation of the flood plain, up to and eve n into the stream channel, undoubtedly have contributed greatly to the development of the country. But the result has been a heritage of flood disaster, suffering, and enormous costs. Flood destruction awakened a consciousness toward reduction and...

Graphic and algebraic solutions of the discordant lead-uranium age problem
L. R. Stieff, T. W. Stern
1961, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (22) 176-199
Uranium-bearing minerals that give lead-uranium and lead—lead ages that are essentially in agreement, i.e. concordant, generally are considered to have had a relatively simple geologic history and to have been unaltered since their deposition. The concordant ages obtained on such materials are, therefore, assumed to approach closely the actual age...

1960, Circular 423
The ground water in Lyon County and elsewhere in southwestern Minnesota is generally hard and low in chloride. It is the purpose of this report to describe briefly the occurrence in Lyon County of waters of low hardness and of high chloride content. The waters are found largely in Cretaceous...
Water management, agriculture, and ground-water supplies
Raymond L. Nace
1960, Circular 415
Encyclopedic data on world geography strikingly illustrate the drastic inequity in the distribution of the world's water supply. About 97 percent of the total volume of water is in the world's oceans. The area of continents and islands not under icecaps, glaciers, lakes, and inland seas is about 57.5 million...

Floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan
L.E. Stoimenoff
1960, Open-File Report 60-135
The floods of May 1959 in the Au Gres and Rifle River basins, Michigan, resulted from heavy rainfall during the night of May 19-20. Peak unit discharges for small drainage areas (less than about 15 square miles) were the highest ever measured in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and for...
Gravity survey in part of the Snake River Plain, Idaho — A preliminary report
Harry L. Baldwin Jr., David P. Hill
1960, Open-File Report 60-11
During the early summer of 1959, a total of 1,187 gravity stations were occupied on the western part of the Snake River plain in Idaho. An area of 2,000 square miles extending from Glenns Ferry, Idaho, to Caldwell, Idaho, was covered with a station density of one station per two...
An aeromagnetic reconnaissance of the Cook Inlet area, Alaska
Arthur Grantz, Isidore Zietz, Gordon E. Andreasen
1960, Open-File Report 60-59
Forty-two east-west aeromagnetic lines were flown across the Cook Inlet-Susitna Lowland between Chelatna Lake and Seldovia at a flight altitude of approximately 2,500 feet. The lines traverse all or part of five Mesozoic tectonic elements that dominate the structure of the Cook Inlet area. Each of these tectonic elements, the...
Chromite and other mineral deposits in serpentine rocks of the Piedmont Upland, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware
Nancy C. Pearre, Allen V. Heyl Jr.
1960, Bulletin 1082-K
The Piedmont Upland in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware is about 160 miles long and at the most 50 miles wide. Rocks that underlie the province are the Baltimore gneiss of Precambrian age and quartzite, gneiss, schist, marble, phyllite, and greenstone, which make up the Glenarm series of early Paleozoic (?)...
Double-mass curves, with a section fitting curves to cyclic data
James K. Searcy, Clayton H. Hardison, Walter B. Langbein
1960, Water Supply Paper 1541-B
The double.-mass curve is used to check the consistency of many kinds of hydrologic data by comparing data for a single station with that of a pattern composed of the data from several other stations in the area The double-mass curve can be used to adjust inconsistent precipitation data. The...
Progress report on use of water by riparian vegetation, Cottonwood Wash, Arizona

Measurements of streamflow, ground-water levels, and meterological data obtained in a 4.1-mile reach of the flood plain of Cottonwood Wash, Mohave County, Ariz., define the use of water by riparian vegetation in that part of the stream valley. The computed evapotranspiration loss during the growing season of 1959 was 175...
