Chemical quality and temperature of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah, and the effect of the reservoir on the Green River
E.L. Bolke, Kidd M. Waddell
1975, Water Supply Paper 2039-A
The major tributaries to Flaming Gorge Reservoir contribute an average of about 97 percent of the total streamflow and 82 percent of the total load of dissolved solids. The Green River is the largest tributary, and for the 1957-72 water years it contributed 81 percent of the total streamflow and...

Reclamation by tubewell drainage in Rechna Doab and adjacent areas, Punjab region, Pakistan
Glenn T. Malmberg
1975, Water Supply Paper 1608-O
Around the turn of the century, a network of more than 40,000 miles of canals was constructed to divert water from the Indus River and its tributaries to about 23 million acres of largely unused desert in the Punjab region of Pakistan. The favorable climate and the perennial supply of...

Geohydrologic reconnaissance of the upper Potomac River basin
Frank W. Trainer, Frank A. Watkins
1975, Water Supply Paper 2035
The upper Potomac River basin, in the central Appalachian region in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, is a humid temperate region of diverse fractured rocks. Three geohydrologic terranes, which underlie large parts of the basin, are described in terms of their aquifer characteristics and of the magnitude and duration...

Selenium in waters in and adjacent to the Kendrick Project, Natrona County, Wyoming
Marvin A. Crist
1975, Water Supply Paper 2023
Selenium in concentrations exceeding the maximum limit, 0.01 milligrams per liter or 10 micrograms per liter, recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service in 'Drinking-Water Standards, 1962,' Public Health Pub. 956, is present in waters in areas near Casper, Wyo. Some streams containing selenium flow into the North Platte River...
Reactions of aqueous aluminum species at mineral surfaces
David Wayne Brown, John David Hem
1975, Water Supply Paper 1827-F
Aqueous aluminum solutions containing 4.5 ? 10 4 molar aluminum in 0.01 molar NaC104 were partly neutralized with NaOH to give OH:A1 mole ratios from 1.40 to 2.76. Measured amounts of montmorillonite, kaolinite, volcanic ash, or feldspathic sand were added to provide an area of inert surface. Reactions that occurred...

Digital-simulation and projection of water-level declines in basalt aquifers of the Odessa-Lind area, east-central Washington
J. E. Luzier, James A. Skrivan
1975, Water Supply Paper 2036
A digital computer program using finite-difference techniques simulates an intensively pumped, multilayered basalt-aquifer system near Odessa. The aquifers now developed are in the upper 1,000 feet of a regionally extensive series of southwesterly dipping basalt flows of the Columbia River Group. Most of the aquifers are confined. Those in the...

Effects of organic solutes on chemical reactions of aluminum
Carol J. Lind, John David Hem
1975, Water Supply Paper 1827-G
Concentrations of organic matter in the general range of 1-10 milligrams per litre organic carbon are common in natural water, and many naturally occurrin7 organic compounds form aluminum complexes. The aluminum concentrations in near-neutral pH solutions may be 10-100 times higher than the values predicted from solubility data if formation...

Aluminum resources of Brazil
Max Gregg White
1975, Open-File Report 75-30
Large deposits of bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum, occur at several places in Brazil. The largest deposits now undergoing extensive exploration and development are in the eastern Amazon Basin. Most of these deposits are in the State of Para, but some are in Amazonas and Maranhao.Discovery of large-scale resources...
