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....
Time of travel of water in the Potomac River, Cumberland to Washington
James K. Searcy, Luther C. Davis
1961, Circular 438
This report introduces a graphical procedure for estimating the time required for water to travel down the Potomac River in the reach extending from Cumberland, Md., to Washington, D.C. The time of travel varies with the flow of the river; so the stage of the river at the lower end...
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...
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...
Recharging ground-water reservoirs
George H. Taylor
1961, Open-File Report 60-139
Successful artificial recharge of a ground-water reservoir depends upon many factors. Some factors are very complicated and technical. This paper will deal briefly with some of them. For a more comprehensive description of ground-water reservoirs and their artificial recharge, the publications listed at the end of this paper should be...
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...
Time of travel of water in the Ohio River, Pittsburgh to Cincinnati
Robert E. Steacy
1961, Circular 439
This report presents a procedure for estimating the time of travel of water in the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Cincinnati, Ohio, under various river stage conditions. This information is primarily for use by civil defense officials and by others concerned with problems involving travel time of river water....
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,...
Aquifers in melt-water channels along the southwest flank of the Des Moines Lobe, Lyon County, Minnesota
Robert Schneider, Harry G. Rodis
1961, Water Supply Paper 1539-F
During the Gary and Mankato substages of Wisconsin glaciation the Des Moines lobe advanced southeastward through the broad lowland of the Minnesota River valley of southwestern Minnesota, and thence southward to central Iowa. Among the most prominent topographic features in Lyon County, Minn., are five southeastward-trending end moraines, two of which...
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...
