Summaries of yearly and flood flow relating to Iowa streams 1873-1940
Lawrence C. Crawford
1942, Water Supply Bulletin 1
As a result of the need for basic data and the lack of a current and convenient summary concerning the surface-water resources of Iowa, a synoptic inventory has been prepared as a part of the present State-wide program which is made possible by State and Federal cooperative action. These hydrologic...

Natural water loss in selected drainage basins
Gordon R. Williams
1940, Water Supply Paper 846
Determinations of areal rainfall, run-off, and water loss, comprising largely evaporation from land surfaces and transpiration by vegetation, are essential in indicating the hydrologic characteristics of river basins. This report is primarily a statistical study that presents the results of computations of annual water loss, or annual rainfall minus annual...

Stratigraphic measurements in parallel folds
J.B. Mertie Jr.
1940, Geological Society of America Bulletin (51) 1107-1134
Folded rocks having bedding surfaces which are approximately parallel are said to lie in parallel folds. Utilizing the principle of evolutes and involutes, the author offers a more precise definition of parallel folds and points out inconsistencies in other concepts. With the idea of classifying parallel folds and possibly of...
Ground‐water problems in Ohio, with special reference to the industrial area of Cincinnati in Butler and Hamilton counties
F.H. Klaer Jr.
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 1126-1131
The importance of ground‐water as a natural resource to be used for water‐supply and industrial purposes is often overlooked by the general public. A recent survey conducted by the Engineering News‐Record [see 1 of “References” at end of paper], based on data obtained from State Sanitary engineers, shows that 9,100...
Floods in the Canadian and Pecos River basins of New Mexico, May and June 1937
Tate Dalrymple
1939, Water Supply Paper 842
In May and June floods occurred in the Canadian and Pecos River Basins of New Mexico that were unusually high and in many places were record breaking. The floods were caused by heavy rains that occurred over the eastern part of the State from May 23 to June 4 in...

It embodies a part of the results of a subsurface geologic investigation of the Osage Indian Reservation,...
Geologic map and guide of the island of Oahu, Hawaii
Harold T. Stearns
1939, Bulletin 2
This bulletin, although designated Bulletin 2, is actually the fourth of a series published by the Division of Hydrography of the Territory of Hawaii. All four of the bulletins thus far published relate to the geology and ground-water resources of the island of Oahu.1 Together they present the results obtained...
The age, growth, and feeding habits of the whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis (Mitchell), of Lake Champlain
John Van Oosten, Hilary J. Deason
1939, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (68) 152-162
This study is based on 120 whitefish collected in northern Lake Champlain (Missisquoi Bay) in 1930 and on 175 whitefish taken in southern Lake Champlain in 1931. Since the whitefish population had not been exploited commercially after 1912 in United States waters and after 1915 in Canadian waters, its study...

In January and February 1937 the Ohio and mid-Mississippi Rivers experienced floods which, over reaches many hundreds of miles in length, exceeded all previously recorded stages. When measured by the loss of life and property, extent of damage, and general disruption of human activities, these floods constituted a major catastrophe. The...
