Uses of conventional aerial photography in urban areas - review and bibliography
Ashraf S. Manji
1968, Open-File Report 68-175
This paper is divided into two parts. Part I presents a review of some of the past uses of aerial photography in urban areas. The empirical studies reviewed are divided into two broad categories depending on whether inventory compilation is by direct or indirect observation. Studies using inventory by direct...

1968, Water Supply Paper 1862
The Deer Lodge Valley is a basin trending north-south within Powell, Deer Lodge, and Silver Bow Counties in west-central Montana, near the center of the Northern Rocky Mountains physiographic province. It trends northward between a group of relatively low, rounded mountains to the east and the higher, more rugged Flint...
Water resources of King County, Washington
Donald Richardson, J.W. Bingham, R. J. Madison, R. Williams
1968, Water Supply Paper 1852
Although the total supply of water in King County is large, water problems are inevitable because of the large and rapidly expanding population. The county contains a third of the 3 million people in Washington, most of the population being concentrated in the Seattle metropolitan area. King County includes parts...
Ground-water resources of the Sevier River basin between Yuba Dam and Leamington Canyon, Utah
Louis Jay Bjorklund, Gerald B. Robinson Jr.
1968, Water Supply Paper 1848
The area investigated is a segment of the Sevier River basin, Utah, comprising about 900 square miles and including a 19-mile reach of the Sevier River between Yuba Dam and Leamington Canyon. The larger valleys in the area are southern Juab, Round, and Scipio Valleys. The smaller valleys are Mills,...
Determination of discharge during pulsating flow
T. H. Thompson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1869-D
Pulsating flow in an open channel is a manifestation of unstable-flow conditions in which a series of translatory waves of perceptible magnitude develops and moves rapidly downstream. Pulsating flow is a matter of concern in the design and operation of steep-gradient channels. If it should occur at high stages in...
Use of water by riparian vegetation, Cottonwood Wash, Arizona
James E. Bowie, William Kam
1968, Water Supply Paper 1858
The change in water use as a result of the modification of riparian vegetation was measured in Cottonwood Wash, Mohave County, Ariz. A 4.1-mile length of the stream channel was selected and divided into a 2.6-mile upper reach and a 1.5-mile lower reach. Measurements of streamflow, ground-water levels, vegetation, and...
Fresh and saline ground-water zones in the Punjab region, West Pakistan
W.V. Swarzenski
1968, Water Supply Paper 1608-I
An extensive program of test drilling and water sampling, undertaken by the Water and Soils Investigation Division (WASID) of the West Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) to evaluate hydrologic problems related to waterlogging and soil salinity, has furnished data for the delineation of fresh and saline ground-water zones...
Ground-water geology of Kordofan Province, Sudan
Harry G. Rodis, Abdulla Hassan, Lutfi Wahadan
1968, Water Supply Paper 1757-J
For much of Kordofan Province, surface-water supplies collected and stored in hafirs, fulas, and tebeldi trees are almost completely appropriated for present needs, and water from wells must serve as the base for future economic and cultural development. This report describes the results of a reconnaissance hydrogeologic investigation of the...
Ground-water resources of the Acu Valley, Rio Grande Norte, Brazil
Harry G. Rodis, Jonas Maria. de Castro Araujo
1968, Water Supply Paper 1663-C
The Acu Valley is the lower part of the Rio Piranhas valley in the northwestern part of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. It begins where the Rio Piranhas leaves the crystalline Precambrian rocks to flow across the outcrop of sedimentary rocks. The area considered in this report...
Geology and ground-water resources of the lower Bighorn Valley, Montana
Louis J. Hamilton, Q.F. Paulson
1968, Water Supply Paper 1876
The Bighorn River has incised a deep, broad valley in Cretaceous strata along its 65-mile lower reach below the mouth of Bighorn Canyon in south-central Montana. It ceased downcutting at six different levels 100-200 feet apart, widening its flood plain and alluviating each level with about 30 feet of sandy...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1962
J.O. Rostvedt
1968, Water Supply Paper 1820
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United Spates during 1962. The most damaging floods during the year occurred in February in southern Idaho and northern Nevada and Utah, and during the latter part of February and the early part of March in Kentucky and in the Cumberland...

Henry N. Halberg, Charles T. Bryant, Marion S. Hines
1968, Water Supply Paper 1857
In Grant and Hot Spring Counties the Ouachita, Saline, and Caddo Rivers yield large quantities of soft, good-quality water. Small streams in southeastern Hot Spring County and some of the small streams in the Ouachita Mountains have relatively high base flow; in Grant County small streams yield little water during...

Water data for metropolitan areas: A summary of data from 222 areas in the United States
1968, Water Supply Paper 1871
Expansion of metropolitan areas poses persistent problems in management of the hydrologic environment. Adequate hydrologic data are prerequisite to proper planning and engineering design of urban environments. Some such data are available and are tabulated for each Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area in the United States. Information for each area consists...
Isotopic analysis of uranium in natural waters by alpha spectrometry
K.W. Edwards
1968, Water Supply Paper 1696-F
A method is described for the determination of U234/U238 activity ratios for uranium present in natural waters. The uranium is coprecipitated from solution with aluminum phosphate, extracted into ethyl acetate, further purified by ion exchange, and finally electroplated on a titanium disc for counting. The individual isotopes are determined by...
