Geologic control of mineral composition of stream waters of the eastern slope of the Southern Coast Ranges, California
G. H. Davis
1961, Water Supply Paper 1535-B
Chemical analyses of waters of streams that drain the semiarid eastern slope of the southern Coast Ranges in California demonstrate that differences in the anion composition, especially in the ratio of bicarbonate to sulfate, are related chiefly to the lithologic character of the rocks exposed in the tributary drainage area....
Simplified methods for computing total sediment discharge with the modified Einstein procedure
Bruce R. Colby, David Wellington Hubbell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1593
A procedure was presented in 1950 by H. A. Einstein for computing the total discharge of sediment particles of sizes that are in appreciable quantities in the stream bed. This procedure was modified by the U.S. Geological Survey and adapted to computing the total sediment discharge of a stream on...

Exploratory drilling for ground water in the Mountain Iron-Virginia area, St. Louis County, Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, J.E. Rogers
1961, Water Supply Paper 1539-A
The Mountain Iron-Virginia area is a broad, southwest-trending valley in the central part of the Mesabi Range. The valley, which heads in the Laurentian Divide, and covers about 120 square miles, coincides approximately with a bedrock valley filled with as much as 150 feet of glacial deposits. A complex sequence of...

Progress report on wells penetrating artesian aquifers in South Dakota
R. W. Davis, C.F. Dyer, J.E. Powell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1534
Artesian aquifers underlie most of South Dakota and large areas in adjacent States. About 15,000 wells have been completed since 1881 in these aquifers within South Dakota. Many wells that originally flowed have ceased to flow and have been abandoned, and others have been equipped with pumps. Many thousands, however,...

Water resources of the Raft River basin, Idaho-Utah
Raymond L. Nace
1961, Water Supply Paper 1587
Much arable land in the Raft River basin of Idaho lacks water for irrigation, and the potentially irrigable acreage far exceeds the amount that could be irrigated with the estimated total supply of water. Therefore, the amount of uncommitted water that could be intercepted and used within the basin is...
Availability of ground water in Lyon County, Minnesota
Harry G. Rodis
1961, Circular 444
Lyon County is in southwestern Minnesota, about 150 miles southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul The basement rocks in the area consist of granite and quartzite of Precambrian age. These materials are in turn overlain by shale and sandstone of Cretaceous age, glacial drift of Pleistocene age, and alluvium of...
Water requirements of the copper industry
Orville Durey Mussey
1961, Water Supply Paper 1330-E
The copper industry in 1955 used about 330 million gallons of water per day in the mining and manufacturing of primary copper. This amount is about 0.3 percent of the total estimated withdrawals of industrial water in the United States in 1955. These facts were determined by a survey, in...

Ground-water potentialities in the Crescent Valley, Eureka and Lander Counties, Nevada
Christie Paul Zones
1961, Water Supply Paper 1581
The Crescent Valley is an intermontane basin in Eureka and Lander Counties, just south of the Humboldt River in north-central Nevada. The valley floor, with an area of about 150 square miles, has a shape that more nearly resembles a Y than a crescent, although the valley apparently was named...

Availability of ground water in the Gallup area, New Mexico
Samuel Wilson West
1961, Circular 443
A thick succession of sedimentary rocks (about 6,000 feet) underlies the town of Gallup and crops out nearby. Although all the sedimentary rocks are capable of yielding some water, only a few units of sandstone and limestone yield water in sufficient quantity and of acceptable quality to be considered as...
