Factors controlling the size and shape of stream channels in coarse noncohesive sands
M. Gordon Wolman, Lucien M. Brush Jr.
1961, Professional Paper 282-G
The size and shape of equilibrium channels in uniform, noncohesive sands, 0.67 mm and 2.0 mm in diameter, were studied experimentally in a laboratory flume 52 feet long in which discharge, slope, sediment load, and bed and bank material could be varied independently. For each run a straight trapezoidal channel...

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...
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....
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...

Drainage basins, channels, and flow characteristics of selected streams in central Pennsylvania
Lucien M. Brush Jr.
1961, Professional Paper 282-F
The hydraulic, basin, and geologic characteristics of 16 selected streams in central Pennsylvania were measured for the purpose of studying the relations among these general characteristics and their process of development. The basic parameters which were measured include bankfull width and depth, channel slope, bed material size and shape, length...
A study of flow in alluvial channels: the effect of large concentrations of fine sediment on the mechanics of flow in a small flume
William Leland Haushild, Daryl Baldwin Simons, Everett V. Richadrson
1961, Report
A flume study was made using a natural river sand as the bed material, median diameter = 0. 54 millimeters. Clear-water flow was compared with flow containing from 6 1 000 to 65,000 parts per million of fine sediment (bentonite). The study shows that the form of bed roughness could...
Surface water records of Indiana, 1961

The surface-water records for the 1961 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Indiana are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the...
Origin of Pennsylvanian underclay and related seat rocks
J. W. Huddle, S. H. Patterson
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1643-1660
Seat rocks, including underclay, underlie coal beds and show features such as roots, profiles similar to water-logged soils, lack of bedding, soil-like fracture, and gradation into normally bedded sedimentary rocks indicating that they were once soils. Coarse-grained seat rocks range from argillaceous to nearly pure quartz sandstone (ganister). Seat rocks...
Paleoecology of an early oligocene biota from Douglass Creek Basin, Montana
Richard L. Konizeski
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1633-1642
Douglass Creek basin lies west of the Continental Divide in the northern part of the Rocky Mountain physiographic province. Numerous minor environmental differences exist between the Douglass Creek area and the Pipestone Springs and Canyon Ferry areas east of the Divide. In the 19th century, however, the three areas had identical...
Recent chemical analyses of waters from several closed-basin lakes and their tributaries in the western United States
H.C. Whitehead, J. H. Feth
1961, Geological Society of America Bulletin (72) 1421-1425
Some of the classic closed-basin lakes of the western United States have been resampled, and the waters have been analyzed by modern wet-chemical methods. Included are waters from Borax and Little Borax lakes and Mono Lake in California; Big Soda, Pyramid, and Walker Lakes in Nevada; Abert Lake, Oregon; and...
Uranium migration and geochemistry of uranium deposits in sandstone above, at, and below the water table; Part 2, Relationship of uranium migration dates, geology, and chemistry of the uranium deposits
C. S. Robinson, John Nicholas Rosholt Jr.
1961, Economic Geology (56) 1404-1420
The time of U migration in deposits in sandstone can be determined by correlating apparent age calculations, based on radiochemical analyses, with the geology of a particular deposit. Data were obtained from U ore samples representing deposits above the water table, deposits just above and below perched water tables, and...
Uranium migration and geochemistry of uranium deposits in sandstone above, at, and below the water table; Part 1, Calculation of apparent dates of uranium migration in deposits above and at the water table
John Nicholas Rosholt Jr.
1961, Economic Geology (56) 1392-1403
The migration of U may be studied by the distribution of the radioactive daughter products, which serve as natural tracers in the migration of U. The distribution of the daughter products is determined by radiochemical analyses of samples from ore deposits in sandstone, and the apparent minimum and maximum dates...
