Identification and measurement of chlorinated organic pesticides in water by electron-capture gas chromatography
William L. Lamar, Donald F. Goerlitz, LeRoy M. Law
1965, Water Supply Paper 1817-B
Pesticides, in minute quantities, may affect the regimen of streams, and because they may concentrate in sediments, aquatic organisms, and edible aquatic foods, their detection and their measurement in the parts-per-trillion range are considered essential. In 1964 the U.S. Geological Survey at Menlo Park, Calif., began research on methods for...
Suitability of irrigation water and changes in ground-water quality in the Lompoc subarea of the Santa Ynez River Basin, Santa Barbara County, California
R. E. Evenson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-S
Analyses of water samples collected since 1934 from some of the irrigation wells in the Lompoc subarea of the Santa Ynes River valley have shown a gradual deterioration in the chemical quality of the water. Most of the ground water pumped in the subarea has a dissolved-solids contents ranging from about...

Water resources in the vicinity of municipalities on the western Mesabi Iron Range, northeastern Minnesota
R. D. Cotter, H. L. Young, L. R. Petri, C. H. Prior
1965, Water Supply Paper 1759-B
Additional supplies of water are available near the municipalities on the western Mesabi Iron Range. Potential yields from both ground-water and surface-water sources are good. The most productive aquifers for ground-water supplies are the Biwabik Iron-Formation and the stratified glacial drift. Areas of stratified drift believed to have good water...

Philip M. Cohen
1965, Water Supply Paper 1795
This report, resulting from studies made by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the interagency Humboldt River Research Project, describes the qualitative and quantitative relations among the components of the hydrologic system in the Winnemucca Reach of the Humboldt River valley. The area studied includes the segment of the...
Geology and ground-water resources of Dane County, Wisconsin
Denzel R. Cline
1965, Water Supply Paper 1779-U
The purpose of the ground-water investigation of Dane County, Wis., was to determine the occurrence, movement, quantity, quality, and availability of ground water in the unconsolidated deposits and the underlying bedrock. The relationships between ground water and surface water were studied in general in Dane County and in detail in...
Geology and ground water in Russian River Valley areas and in Round, Laytonville, and Little Lake Valleys, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, California
G.T. Cardwell
1965, Water Supply Paper 1548
This report describes the occurrence, availability, and quality of ground water in seven valley areas along the course of the Russian River in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, Calif., and in three valleys in the upper drainage reach of the Eel River in Mendocino County. Except for the westward-trending lower Russian...

Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States, part 3–A. Ohio River Basin except Cumberland and Tennessee River Basins
Paul R. Speer, Charles R. Gamble
1965, Water Supply Paper 1675
This report presents a means of determining the probable magnitude and frequency of floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years at most points on streams in the Ohio River basin except Cumberland and Tennessee River basins.Curves are defined that show the relation between the drainage area and...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1960
J.O. Rostvedt
1965, Water Supply Paper 1790-B
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1960. No major floods occurred during the year, although two floods caused severe damage the first in March and April in eastern Nebraska and adjacent areas, and the second in September in Puerto Rico.Unseasonal rains in mid-March caused...
Geology and ground-water resources of Waushara County, Wisconsin
William Kelly Summers
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-B
Abundant ground water for irrigation is available in the outwash deposits in western Waushara County, and many more large-capacity wells can be developed in these deposits without seriously lowering the water level. Pumping for irrigation temporarily lowers water levels in the vicinity of the wells but has not lowered regional...

Hydrology of melt-water channels in southwestern Minnesota
Gerald L. Thompson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-K
Melt-water channel deposits are among the most important aquifers in southwestern Minnesota, but permeable zones within the deposits are difficult to locate. Interpretation of the depositional history of proglacial channel deposits from aerial photographs and test-hole samples indicates the position of the permeable zones. Generally, the coarse-grained deposits are in...
