Silica in hot-spring waters
Donald E. White, W. W. Brannock, K. J. Murata
1956, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (10) 27-29
The silica in hot-spring waters and in a few cold waters was studied by moans of the colorimetrie ammonium-molybdate method of analysis. Murata found in 1947 that only a part of the total silica in aged samples of high-silica waters was determinable by the colorimetric method. Weitz, franck And schuchard later showed that...

Uranium content of ground and surface waters in western Kansas, eastern Colorado, and the Oklahoma Panhande
E.R. Landis
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 624
During 1954, 1955, and 1956, 324 water samples were collected in western Kansas, eastern Colorado, the Oklahoma Panhandle, and northeastern New Mexico, to determine the uranium content of water from the various rock units and geologic terranes in the region, and to locate areas in which, large amounts of uranium...

Alteration of sandstone as a guide to uranium deposits and their origin, northern Black Hills, South Dakota
R.C. Vickers
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 568
Several uranium deposits are present in the Fall River sandstone of Early Cretaceous age on the northeast flank of the Black Hills, Butte County, South Dakota. The deposits are within a fine-grained, well-sorted, persistent basal sandstone unit that ranges in thickness from 2 to 18 feet and dips about...
The physical behavior and geologic control of radon in mountain streams
Allen S. Rogers
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 619
Radon measurement were made in several small, turbulent mountain streams in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, to determine the relationship between the distribution of radon and its geologic environment. In this area, the distribution of radon in streams can be sued to locate points where relatively...
Ground water in northeastern Louisville, Kentucky with reference to induced infiltration
M. I. Rorabaugh
1956, Water Supply Paper 1360-B
In cooperation with the city of Louisville, Ky., the U. S. Geological Survey made a detailed investigation during the period February 1945 to March 1947 of the ground-water resources of a 3-square-mile area along the Ohio River north-east of Louisville. Test drilling shows that the principal aquifer consists of about...

When the vegetal cover is removed from a land surface, the rate of removal of the soil material, at least initially, increases rapidly. So well known is this principle that it hardly needs restatement.If attention is focused on any individual drainage basin in its natural state, large or small, and...
Floods in relation to the river channel
Luna Bergere Leopold, M. Gordon Wolman
1956, Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences 85-98
Among the rivers studied by us two broad types may be distinguished. Channels in the semi-arid areas scour at high discharges so that the bed lowers nearly as much as the water surface rises. Detailed data on the middle reaches of the Rio Grande in New Mexico during the spring...

In the year 1534 when Cabeza de Vaca escaped from the aborigines of southern Texas by whom he had been enslaved for six years, he made his way on foot from the vicinity of Galveston to the west coast of Mexico. Although his Relación was not printed until 1542, the...
Ground-water geology of the coastal zone, Long Beach-Santa Ana area, California
J. F. Poland, A. M. Piper
1956, Water Supply Paper 1109
This paper is the first chapter of a comprehensive report on the ground-water features in the southern part of the coastal plain in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, Calif., with special reference to the effectiveness of the so-called coastal barrier--the Newport-Inglewood structural zone--in restraining landwar,-1 movement of saline water. The...
Life history of lake herring of Green Bay, Lake Michigan
Stanford H. Smith
1956, Fishery Bulletin (109) 87-138
Although the lake herring has been an important contributor to the commercial fish production of Green Bay, little has been known about it. This study is based on field observations and data from about 6,500 lake herring collected over the period 1948 to 1952. Relatively nonselective commercial pound nets...

Mycoses of systemic distribution are rarely observed in fresh-water fish in this country. In a recent review of atypical cell growths in fishes, Nigrelli cited the only known instance of a mycetoma in a North American fresh-water fish which occurred in the head of fingerling landlocked salmon from an Idaho...

Some effects of preciptiation on ground water in Wisconsin
William James Drescher
1955, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 1
The importance of our water supplies has become increasingly apparent to most of us in recent years. The importance of water was forcefully dramatized by the water shortage in New York City in 1950. In nearly every State in the Union, one or more communities now has or has had...
