Definition of stage-discharge relation in natural channels by step-backwater analysis
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...

Water requirements of the iron and steel industry
Faulkner B. Walling, Louis Ethelbert Otts Jr.
1967, Water Supply Paper 1330-H
Twenty-nine steel plants surveyed during 1957 and 1958 withdrew from various sources about 1,400 billion gallons of water annually and produced 40.8 million tons of ingot steel. This is equivalent to about 34,000 gallons of water per ton of steel. Fifteen iron ore mines and fifteen ore concentration plants together...
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...

Swatara Creek basin of southeastern Pennsylvania: An evaluation of its hydrologic system
Wilbur Tennant Stuart, William J. Schneider, James W. Crooks
1967, Water Supply Paper 1829
Local concentrations of population in the Swatara Creek basin of Pennsylvania find it necessary to store, transport, and treat water because local supplies are either deficient or have been contaminated by disposal of wastes in upstream areas. Water in the basin is available for the deficient areas and for dilution...

Hydrology of the Valley-fill and carbonate-rock reservoirs, Pahrump Valley, Nevada-California
Glenn T. Malmberg
1967, Water Supply Paper 1832
This is the second appraisal of the water supply of Pahrump Valley, made 15 years after the first cooperative study. In the first report the average recharge was estimated to be 23,000 acre-feet per year, only 1,000 acre-feet more than the estimate made in this report. All this recharge was...

E. Butler, J.K. Reid, V.K. Berwick
1966, Water Supply Paper 1684
The probable magnitude of floods of any recurrence interval between 1.1 and 50 years for any stream in the Great Basin can be determined by methods presented in this report.The Great Basin comprises nearly all of Nevada, western Utah, eastern California, and parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Wyoming. The physiography...
Fresh-water discharge salinity relations in the tidal Delaware River
Walter B. Keighton
1966, Water Supply Paper 1586-G
Sustained flows of fresh water greater than 3,500, 4,400, and 5,300 cubic feet per second into the Delaware River estuary at Trenton, NJ assure low salinity at League Island, Eddystone, and Marcus Hook, respectively. When the discharge at Trenton is less than these critical values, salinity is very sensitive to...
Salt-water encroachment in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, New York
N.J. Lusczynski, Wolfgang V. Swarzenski
1966, Water Supply Paper 1613-F
Test drilling, extraction of water from cores, electric logging, water sampling, and water-level measurements from 1958 to 1961 provided a suitable basis for a substantial refinement in the definition of the positions, chloride concentrations, and rates of movement of salty water in the intermediate and deep deposits of southern Nassau...

Ground-water development in the high plains of Colorado, with a section on chemical quality of the ground water
Arnold J. Boettcher, Robert Brennan
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-I
The High Plains of Colorado includes all or part of 11 counties and has an area of about 9,500 square miles. The land surface slopes eastward and in most areas is gently rolling owing to erosion by ephemeral streams. The Ogallala Formation, of Pliocene age, is the principal aquifer. In...
Geology and water resources of Winnebago County, Wisconsin
Perry C. Olcott
1966, Water Supply Paper 1814
Sources or water in Winnebago County include surface water from the Fox and Wolf Rivers and their associated lakes, and ground water from sandstone, dolomite, and sand and gravel deposits. Surface water is hard and generally requires treatment, but is then suitable for municipal and most industrial uses. Pollution is...
Selected techniques in water resources investigations, 1965
1966, Water Supply Paper 1822
Increasing world activity in water-resources development has created an interest in techniques for conducting investigations in the field. In the United States, the Geological Survey has the responsibility for extensive and intensive hydrologic studies, and the Survey places considerable emphasis on discovering better ways to carry out its responsibility. For...
Salinity of the ground water in western Pinal County, Arizona
Lester Ray Kister, W. F. Hardt
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-E
The chemical quality of the ground water in western Pinal County is nonuniform areally and stratigraphically. The main areas of highly mineralized water are near Casa Grande and near Coolidge. Striking differences have been noted in the quality of water from different depths in the same well. Water from one...
