Water requirements of the rayon- and acetate-fiber industry
Orville Durey Mussey
1957, Water Supply Paper 1330-D
Water is required for several purposes in the manufacture of rayon and acetate fiber. These water requirements, as indicated by a survey of the water used by the plants operating in 1953, are both quantitative and qualitative. About 300 mgd (million gallons per day) of water was used in 1953...
Ground-water possibilities south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho
E. G. Crosthwaite
1957, Water Supply Paper 1460-C
The Snake River Plain and tributary valleys south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho (here called the South Side area), contain about 180,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 145,000 acres is irrigated with surface water and 35,000 is irrigated wholly or partly with ground water.

One of the greatest and most destructive floods of the century occurred in 1951-the July flood in Kansas and Missouri. Losses caused by that flood were about five times the total flood losses in the United States during 1950. Total flood losses in the United States during 1951 were about...
The deep channel and alluvial deposits of the Ohio Valley in Kentucky
Eugene H. Walker
1957, Water Supply Paper 1411
The alluvial deposits of Pleistocene age in the Ohio Valley form a ground-water reservoir of large storage capacity and yield. In this region it is the only source of large supplies of water that are both cool and of good quality the year round. The reservoir is heavily drawn upon,...

Allen G. Winslow, William Watson Doyel, L.A. Wood
1957, Water Supply Paper 1360-F
Harris County, in the West Gulf Coastal Plain in southeastern Texas, has one of the heaviest concentrations of ground-water withdrawal in the United States. Large quantities of water are pumped to meet the requirements of the rapidly growing population, for industry, and for rice irrigation. The water is pumped from...
Preliminary survey of the saline-water resources of the United States
Robert A. Krieger, J.L. Hatchett, J. L. Poole
1957, Water Supply Paper 1374
Basic hydrologic data available in the field offices of the U. S. Geological Survey and reports issued by the Survey furnish evidence that saline water (defined in this report as water containing more than 1,000 parts per million of dissolved solids) is available under diverse geologic and hydrologic conditions throughout...
Geology and ground-water resources of Galveston County, Texas
Ben McDowell Petitt, Allen George Winslow
1957, Water Supply Paper 1416
Galveston County, on the Texas gulf coast, is underlain by alternating beds of sand and clay. These sand and clay strata crop out in belts that roughly parallel the coastline and dip gently southeastward at an angle gre? +,er than the slope of the land, thereby creating artesian aquifers. The...
Geology and ground-water resources of Outagamie County, Wisconsin
E. F. LeRoux
1957, Water Supply Paper 1421
Outagamie County is in east-central Wisconsin. It has no serious groundwater problem at present, but the county is important as a recharge area for the principal aquifers supplying water to Brown County and industrial Green Bay to the east. The county is covered by glacial drift and lake deposits of the...
