1967, Water Supply Paper 1827-A
Laboratory studies of solutions 4.53 x 10 -4 to 4.5 x 10 -5 molal (12.2-1.2 ppm) in aluminum, in 0.01 molal sodium perchlorate, were conducted to obtain information as to the probable behavior of aluminum in natural water. When the solutions were brought to pH 7.5-9.5 and allowed to stand...
Roughness characteristics of natural channels
Harry Hawthorne Barnes
1967, Water Supply Paper 1849
Color photographs and descriptive data are presented for 50 stream channels for which roughness coefficients have been determined. All hydraulic computations involving flow in open channels require an evaluation of the roughness characteristics of the channel. In the absence of a satisfactory quantitative procedure this evaluation remains chiefly an art....

1967, Water Supply Paper 1847
The Eola-Amity Hills area ,comprises about 230 square miles on the west side of the Willamette Valley between Salem and McMinnville, Oreg. The area is largely rural, and agriculture is the principal occupation. Rocks ranging in age from Eocene to Recent underlie the area. The oldest rocks are a sequence...
Determination of phenoxy acid herbicides in water by electron-capture and microcoulometric gas chromatography
D.F. Goerlitz, William L. Lamar
1967, Water Supply Paper 1817-C
A sensitive gas chromatographic method using microcoulometric titration and electron-capture detection for the analysis of 2,4-D, silvex, 2,4,5-T, and other phenoxy acid herbicides in water is described. The herbicides are extracted from unfiltered water samples (800-1,000 ml) by use of ethyl ether ; then the herbicides are concentrated and esterilied....
Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Michigan
Sulo Werner Wiitala, Thomas Gwyn Newport, Earl L. Skinner
1967, Water Supply Paper 1842
Large quantities of water are needed in the beneficiation and pelletizing processes by which the ore mined from low-grade iron-formations is upgraded into an excellent raw material for the iron and steel industry. Extensive reserves of low-grade iron-formation available for development herald an intensification of the demands upon the area's...
Geology and ground-water resources of Laramie County, Wyoming
Marlin E. Lowry, Marvin A. Crist, John R. Tilstra
1967, Water Supply Paper 1834
Laramie County, an area of 2,709 square miles, is in the southeast corner of Wyoming. Rocks exposed there range in age from Precambrian to Recent. The most extensive aquifers in the county are the White River Formation of Oligocene age, which is as much as 500 feet thick and consists...
Geology and hydrology between Lake McMillan and Carlsbad Springs, Eddy County, New Mexico
Edward Riley Cox
1967, Water Supply Paper 1828
The hydrology of the Pecos River valley between Lake McMillan and Carlsbad Springs, Eddy County, N. Mex., is influenced by facies changes in rocks of Permian age. Water stored for irrigation leaks from Lake McMillan into evaporite rocks, principally gypsum, of the Seven Rivers Formation and from Lake Avalon into...
Causes of fluctuations in the rate of discharge of Clear Lake Springs, Millard County, Utah
R. W. Mower
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-E
The Clear Lake Springs in southeastern Millard County are the source of water for the maintenance of the Clear Lakes Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. Seasonal declines in the rate of discharge were noted during 1959-60.Fluctuations in the flow of Clear Lake Springs are caused both by natural variations in the quantity...
Water resources of Jackson and Independence Counties, Arkansas
Donald R. Albin, Marion S. Hines, John W. Stephens
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-G
The present (1965) water use in Jackson and Independence Counties is about 55.6 million gallons per day, and quantities sufficient for any foreseeable use are available. Supplies for the large-scale uses--municipal, industrial, and irrigation--can best be obtained from wells in the Coastal Plain and from streams in the highlands....
Development of ground-water supplies at Mississippi test facility, Hancock County, Mississippi
Roy Newcome
1967, Water Supply Paper 1839-H
Potable and industrial water supplies at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Mississippi Test Facility in Hancock County, Miss., are obtained from large-capacity wells that tap southward-dipping water-bearing sands of Miocene and Pliocene age. The fresh-water-bearing section is 2,000-3,000 feet thick in the area, and individual aquifers are as thick...

James F. Bailey, H.A. Ray
1967, Water Supply Paper 1869-A
The step-backwater method was investigated as a technique for defining the upper part of stage-discharge relation in a natural channel. State-discharge relations at 28 sites were computed by using this technique and compared with corresponding stage-discharge relations defined by current-meter measurements. In general, the agreement is remarkably good, and the...
