Resistance coefficients and velocity distribution smooth rectangular channel
Hubert J. Tracy, C.M. Lester
1961, Water Supply Paper 1592-A
Measurements were made in a smooth rectangular channel to establish the effect of the side walls of the channel on velocity distribution and resistance to flow. The velocity distribution in the central region of a section normal to the channel followed the log arithmetic law. In the vicinity of each...
Geology and mineral deposits of the Carlile quadrangle, Crook County, Wyoming
M.H. Bergendahl, R. E. Davis, G. A. Izett
1961, Bulletin 1082-J
The Carlile quadrangle-is along the northwestern flank of the Black Hills uplift in Crook County, Wyo. The area-is primarily one of canyons and divides that are a result of downcutting by the Belle Fourche River and its tributaries through an alternating succession of sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone or shale beds....

Geology of the Moses Lake North quadrangle, Washington
Maurice J. Grolier, Bruce L. Foxworthy
1961, IMAP 330
The geology of the Moses Lake North quadrangle was mapped in 1954 and 1958 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Some of the basic hydrologic data has been collected by the Geological Survey during the early investigations of ground-water conditions in the Quincy Basin (Henshaw, written communication, 1917; Schwennesen and Meinzer,...
Synopsis of geologic and hydrologic results: Chapter A in Geological Survey research 1961
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1961, Professional Paper 424-A
The Geological Survey is engaged in many different kinds of investigations in the fields of geology and hydrology. These investigations may be grouped into several broad, inter-related categories as follows:(a) Economic geology, including engineering geology(b) Regional geologic mapping, including detailed mapping and stratigraphic studies(c) Resource and topical studies(d) Ground-water studies(e)...

Estimated use of water in the United States, 1960
K.A. MacKichan, J.C. Kammerer
1961, Circular 456
The estimated overage withdrawal use of water in the United States during 1960 was almost 270,000 mgd (million gallons per day), exclusive of water used to develop water power. This estimated use amounts to about 1,500 gpd (galIons per day) per capita. An additional 2,000,000 mgd were used to develop...
Preliminary estimate of water used in southeast river basins, 1960
Kenneth Allen MacKichan, John Craig Kammerer
1961, Circular 449
The estimated withdrawal use of water in the Southeast River Basins during 1960 was about 3,900 mgd exclusive of water used to develop waterpower and exclusive of water used by the Savannah River Plant of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. This estimated use amounts to 770 gallons per capita per...

Occurrence of minor elements in water
W. H. Durum, Joseph Haffty
1961, Circular 445
Three basic studies, using spectrographic methods, have been used to establish the occurrence of minor elements in natural waters. One study, of oceanborne chemicals in principal rivers, has established a method for the quantitative analysis of many minor elements. Strontium, barium, lithium, rubidium, chromium, nickel, copper, lead, boron, titanium, molybdenum,...

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...
