Principal lakes of the United States
Conrad D. Bue
1963, Circular 476
The United States has about 250 fresh-water lakes that are known to have surface areas of 10 square miles or more. Nearly 100 of these are in Alaska, and 100 in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York,, and Maine. Thirty-four fresh-water lakes, exclusive of the Great Lakes, are known to have maximum...

Hydraulic geometry of a small tidal estuary
Robert M. Myrick, Luna Bergere Leopold
1963, Professional Paper 422-B
A tidal channel in a marsh bordering the Potomac River near Alexandria, Va., was mapped, and current-meter measurements of discharge were made at various locations and at various stages in the tidal cycle. These measurements allowed analysis of the change of width, depth, and velocity with discharge at various cross...

Geology of the Capitol Reef area, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah
J. Fred Smith Jr., Lyman C. Huff, E. Neal Hinrichs, Robert G. Luedke
1963, Professional Paper 363
The Capitol Reef area includes about 900 square miles in western Wayne and north-central Garfield Counties, Utah. It is along the border between the High Plateaus of Utah and the Canyon Lands sections of the Colorado' Plateaus province. Capitol Reef National Monument is in the eastern part of the mapped...
Development of a hand portable rainfall-simulator infiltrometer
I.S. McQueen
1963, Circular 482
Comparisons of relative infiltration of summer thundershowers into undisturbed and treated western dry lands are necessary for guidance of future treatment practices. A system designed for measuring infiltration of simulated rainfall into small plots of undisturbed soil that can be hand-carried to sites inaccessible to vehicles has been developed. Disturbance...

A field method for measurement of infiltration
A.I. Johnson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1544-F
The determination of infiltration--the downward entry of water into a soil (or sediment)--is receiving increasing attention in hydrologic studies because of the need for more quantitative data on all phases of the hydrologic cycle. A measure of infiltration, the infiltration rate, is usually determined in the field by flooding basins...

Preparation of water samples for carbon-14 dating
H.R. Feltz, Bruce B. Hanshaw
1963, Circular 480
For most natural water, a large sample is required to provide the 3 grams of carbon needed for a carbon-14 determination. A field procedure for isolating total dissolved-carbonate species is described. Carbon dioxide gas is evolved by adding sulfuric acid to the water sample; the gas is then collected in...

Methods of collecting and interpreting ground-water data
1963, Water Supply Paper 1544-H
Because ground water is hidden from view, ancient man could only theorize as to its sources of replenishment and its behavior. His theories held sway until the latter part of the 17th century, which marked the first experimental work to determine the source and movement of ground water. Thus founded,...

Hydrologic and geologic reconnaissance of Pinto Basin, Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside County, California
Fred Kunkel
1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-O
Pinto basin, in the north-central part of Riverside County, Calif., is a typical desert valley formed by downfaulting along several major fault zones. The valley is filled with alluvium, and ground water in the alluvium discharges as subsurface outflow through an alluvium-filled gap at the east end of the valley....
Ground water in the Raft River Basin, Idaho, with special reference to irrigation use, 1956-60
Maurice John Mundorff, H.G. Sisco
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-CC
In the Raft River basin in south-central Idaho, ground-water withdrawals for irrigation have more than doubled since 1955, when data were compiled for a comprehensive report on the area. The present report summerizes data on the ground-water use and changes in the water regimen during the intervening 5 years. Water...
Salt-water encroachment, geology, and ground-water resources of Savannah area, Georgia and South Carolina
H. B. Counts, Ellis Donsky
1963, Water Supply Paper 1611
The Savannah area consists of about 2,300 square miles of the Coastal Plain along the coast of eastern Georgia and southeastern South Carolina. Savannah is near the center of the area. Most of the large ground-water developments are in or near Savannah. About 98 percent of the approximately 60 mgd...
Ground-water contamination and legal controls in Michigan
Morris Deutsch
1963, Water Supply Paper 1691
The great importance of the fresh ground-water resources of Michigan is evident because 90 percent of the rural and about 70 percent of the total population of the State exclusive of the Detroit metropolitan area are supplied from underground sources. The water-supply and public-health problems that have been caused by...

Ground-water geology of Edwards County, Texas
Archie T. Long
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-J
Edwards County occupies 2,075 square miles of the southern part of the Edwards Plateau in southwest Texas. In 1950 it had a population of 2,908. Its thin limestone soil supports the characteristic flora of a semiarid region. The county is underlain by nearly flat-lying beds of limestone and a few...
