The quality of surface waters in Texas
Jack Rawson
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-7
The discharge-weighted average concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and ,sulfate for many of the principal streams in Texas are less than 500 mg/l (millijgraljls per liter), 250 mg/l, and 250 mg/l, respectively. At 65 of 131 sites on streams that were sampled at least 10 times, the biochemical oxygen demand...

Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina
K.L. Lindskov
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-6
Wastes entering the Yadkin River from the Winston-Salem area, particularly during heavy rains, resulted in several major fish kills in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The actions undertaken to solve this problem, included the collection of data on the time of travel and dispersion characteristics of the tributaries draining...

Chemical and biological quality of Lake Dicie at Eustis, Florida, with emphasis on the effects of storm runoff
A. G. Lamonds
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-36
After the construction of a storm drain designed to carry runoff from the southeastern part of the city of Eustis into Lake Dicie, algal blooms occurred in the lake. In order to determine the nature and extent of these blooms, the quality of both the lake and storm runoff into...

Availability of ground water in the Branch River basin; Providence County, Rhode Island
H.E. Johnston, D.C. Dickerman
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-18
Stratified glacial drift consisting largely of sand and gravel constitutes the only aquifer capable of supporting continuous yields of 100 gpm (6.3 1/s) or more to individual wells. The aquifer covers about a third of the 79 mi 2 (205 km2) study area, occurring mainly in stream valleys that are...
Availability of ground water in the Blackstone River area Rhode Island and Massachusetts
Herbert E. Johnston, David C. Dickerman

Bedrock geologic map of the Greenwood quadrangle, Marquette County, Michigan
William F. Cannon
1974, Geologic Quadrangle 1168
The Marquette Iron Range is presently ( 1973) the second largest iron mining district in the United States. Commercial iron deposits, now mostly concentrating-grade ore, are in the Negaunee Iron-formation, which is part of a thick sequence of metasedimentary rocks of Precambrian X age. These rocks are preserved in the...
Water resources of the Crow River watershed, south-central Minnesota
Gerald F. Lindholm, D.F. Farrell, John O. Helgesen
1974, Hydrologic Atlas 528
The Crow River watershed, an area of about 2,760 square miles, is covered entirely by glacial deposits. A topographically high, east-west-trending end moraine divides most of the watershed into two drainage areas of approximately equal size. The North Fork Crow River drains a mixture of glacial outwash and till deposits,...
