Water rights in areas of ground-water mining
Harold E. Thomas
1955, Circular 347
Ground-water mining, the progressive depletion of storage in a ground-water reservoir, has been going on for several years in some areas, chiefly in the Southwestern States. In some of these States a water right is based on ownership of land overlying the ground-water reservoir and does not depend upon putting...
Water resources of the Indianapolis area, Indiana
Claude Martin Roberts, L.E. Widman, P.N. Brown
1955, Circular 366
Water used in the Indianapolis area comes from two sources: the White River and tributary streams and the underground reservoirs formed by the underlying glacial drift and limestone. Surface-water sources provide about 60 mgd (million gallons per day) for public supply and an additional 300 mgd is used by private...
Summary of annual records of chemical quality of water of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma and Arkansas; 1945-52, a progress report
Tyrus B. Dover, James Walter Geurin
1955, Circular 361
The Arkansas River is subject to many types of pollution downstream from the Oklahoma-Kansas State line, and its inferior quality together with its erratic flow pattern has caused it to be largely abandoned as a source of municipal and industrial water supply. Currently, the Arkansas River is not directly used...
Uranium-bearing sandstone in the White River badlands, Pennington County, South Dakota
George William Moore, Murray Levish
1955, Circular 359
The uranium mineral uranocircite, a barium uranyl phosphate, occurs in a channel sandstone in the Chadron formation of Oligocene age in the White River badlands, Pennington County, S. Dak. A vertical section of the basal l-foot of the channel contains 0.25 percent uranium. Small amounts of metatyuyamunite (?) occur in...
Ground water in the Yelm area, Thurston and Pierce counties, Washington
Maurice John Mundorff, James M. Weigle, Glen D. Holmberg
1955, Circular 356
This report presents the results of an investigation of the ground-water resources of the Yelm area, Pierce and Thurston Counties, Wash. It was made at the request of the Division of Water Resources, Washington State Department of Conservation and Development, for the purpose of determining the availability of ground water...
Engineering geology as applied to highway construction
Leonard M. Gard Jr.
1955, Open-File Report 55-46
A geologic study of the site for a relocated segment of State Highway 93 northwest of Denver Colo., was made by by the Engineering Geology Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey as a demonstration of the applicability of geologic mapping to problems of highway construction. The relocated segment provides access...
The killifish, fundulus heteroclitus, second intermediate host of the trematode, Ascocotyle (Phagicola) dimunuta
H. W. Stunkard, Joseph R. Uzmann
1955, Biological Bulletin (109) 475-483
Ascocotyle (Phagicola) diminuta was described by Stunkard and Haviland (1924)from the intestine of wild rats collected at the Clason Point dump near New York by the City Board of Health. Feeding experiments have demonstrated that metacercariae encysted in the gills of the common killifish, Fundulus hetero clitus, are stages in...
Discussion of symposium on land erosion “Piping”
L.A. Heindl, J. H. Feth, J.E. Fletcher, Karl Harris, H.B. Peterson, V.N. Chandler
1955, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (36) 342-345
The present writers are familiar only with the Picacho and San Pedro areas, among those cited by the authors, and therefore limit discussion to the occurrence of earth cracks in these areas.The existence of piping is not questioned, and the five conditions suggested by the authors are a justified explanation...
A pumping‐test method for the determination of specific yield
Irwin Remson, S.M. Lang
1955, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (36) 321-325
The specific yield of a water‐table aquifer is one measure of the amount of water within the aquifer that is available for recovery (development). It is expressed as a percentage or decimal fraction of the total volume of material of which the aquifer is composed. The specific yield may be...
Effect of western drought on the water resources of Safford Valley, Arizona, 1940–1952
R.L. Cushman, L. C. Halpenny
1955, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (36) 87-94
Records of precipitation, runoff in the Gila River, ground‐water withdrawals for irrigation, and changes in ground‐water level in Safford Valley, Arizona, provide a basis for noting the effect of wet and dry periods on the hydrologic cycle. An unusually wet period 1940–1941, was followed by a period of drought, l942–1952....
Water analysis
S. K. Love, L. Thatcher
1955, Analytical Chemistry (27) 680-690
No abstract available....
Development of the hydrosphere and atmosphere, with special reference to probable composition of the early atmosphere
William W. Rubey
1955, GSA Special Papers (62) 631-650
A satisfactory hypothesis of the development of the hydrosphere and atmosphere depends upon evidence from many sciences and the solution of many other fundamental problems of earth history. But because it is so closely related to many other problems, any progress toward unravelling the history of the hydrosphere and atmosphere...
