Temperature of water available for industrial use in the United States: Chapter F in Contributions to the hydrology of the United States, 1923-1924
W. D. Collins
1925, Water Supply Paper 520-F
The importance of water supply as a limiting factor in industrial development is becoming more evident each year. The limitation in a particular instance may be the quantity of water available, the quality determined by the mineral matter in solution or in suspension or by organic pollution, or the temperature...
The composition of the river and lake waters of the United States
Frank Wigglesworth Clarke
1924, Professional Paper 135
In the summer of 1903 the late Richard B. Dole, chemist of the water-resources branch of the United States Geological Survey, began a systematic investigation of the composition of the river and lake waters of the United States. His plan, which developed gradually, was to have analyses made of the...
The data of geochemistry
Frank Wigglesworth Clarke
1924, Bulletin 770
Upon the subject of geochemistry a vast literature exists, but it is widely scattered and portions of it are difficult of access. The general treatises, like the classical works of Bischof and of Koth, are not recent, and great masses of modern data are as yet uncorrelated. The American material...
The occurrence of ground water in the United States, with a discussion of principles
Oscar Edward Meinzer
1923, Water Supply Paper 489
The writer has planned and partly prepared a series of six papers on ground water in the United States. These papers are to deal with (1) occurrence, (2) origin, discharge, and quantity, (3) movement and head, (4) quality, (5) recovery and use, and (6) ground-water provinces. The present paper is...
Peneplains of the Front Range and Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Willis T. Lee
1923, Bulletin 730-A
The purpose of this paper is to call attention to some of the major surface features in the Rocky Mountain National Park and to point out their probable correlation with similar features in neighboring regions. The observations on which the paper is based were made in the summer of 1916,...

This paper presents the results of a study made during 1913, 1914, and 1915, while the writer was a student at Johns Hopkins University. The formations discussed have been studies in Maryland, New Jersey, and New York, and described with more or less detail, but concerning their occurrence in the...
Springs of California
Gerald Ashley Waring
1915, Water Supply Paper 338
In 1903 the United States Geological Survey began an investigation of the underground water of California, generally with financial cooperation on the part of the State. Since that year ten papers on the underground water of the State have been issued by the Survey, each representing an investigation that has...
Erosion and sedimentation in Chesapeake Bay around the mouth of Choptank River
J. Fred Hunter
1915, Professional Paper 90-B
With the unfolding of geologic knowledge during the last century the processes of denudation, transportation of sediments, and sedimentation have become better understood, and to some extent their relative effects in bringing about the present configuration of the earth's surface have been determined. The nature of these processes has been...
Contributions to the stratigraphy of southwestern Colorado
Whitman Cross, E. S. Larsen Jr.
1915, Professional Paper 90-E
In the course of field work of the United States Geological Survey in the San Juan region of Colorado observations have been made in the last three seasons that considerably extend our knowledge of the great stratigraphic break below the La Plata sandstone, which is currently assumed to be of...

The investigation of the dry lake of Columbus Marsh, in Nevada, which had for its economic motive the discovery of potash, was continued by the United States Geological Survey during the summer of 1913 under the supervision of Hoyt S. Gale. The work done included the drilling of a shallow...
