Ground-water resources of the Dayton area, Ohio
Stanley Eugene Norris, Andrew Maute Spieker
1966, Water Supply Paper 1808
The principal aquifers of the Dayton area are sand and gravel layers in the 150- to 250-foot thick glacial deposits filling the river valleys (Miami River and its tributaries), which were originally cut in bedrock by preglacial streams. The upper and lower aquifers are separated by a poorly permeable till-rich...

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...

C.D. Albert, G.J. Stramel
1966, Water Supply Paper 1798-B
Characteristics and transport of sediment in the Little Arkansas River basin in south-central Kansas were studied to determine if the water from the river could be used as a supplemental source for municipal supply or would provide adequate recharge to aquifers that are sources of municipal and agricultural water supplies....

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...
Availability of ground water upper Pawcatuck River basin Rhode Island
William Burrows Allen, Glenn Walter Hahn, Richard A. Brackley
1966, Water Supply Paper 1821
The upper Pawcatuck River basin is a 70-square-mile area in southcentral Rhode Island consisting of broad, rolling hills and narrow valleys in the north and fiat-floored plains in the south. It is drained by the Pawcatuck River and its two major tributaries, the Usquepaug-Queen River and the Chipuxet River. Analysis...

Ground-water resources and geology of northern and central Johnson County, Wyoming
Harold A. Whitcomb, T. Ray Cummings, Richard A. McCullough
1966, Water Supply Paper 1806
Northern and central Johnson County, Wyo., is an area of about 2,600 square miles that lies principally in the western part of the Powder River structural basin but also includes the east flank of the Bighorn Mountains. Sedimentary rocks exposed range in age from Cambrian to Recent and have an...
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...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States: Part 9. Colorado River Basin
James L. Patterson, William P. Somers
1966, Water Supply Paper 1683
This report outlines methods by which the magnitude and frequency of expected floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years can be determined at most points in the Colorado River basin.Composite frequency curves were drawn showing the relation of the mean annual flood to floods having recurrence intervals...

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...
Organic acids in naturally colored surface waters
William L. Lamar, D.F. Goerlitz
1966, Water Supply Paper 1817-A
Most of the organic matter in naturally colored surface waters consists of a mixture of carboxylic acids or salts of these acids. Many of the acids color the water yellow to brown; however, not all of the acids are colored. These acids range from simple to complex, but predominantly they...

Effect of vertical motion on current meters
Nicholas A. Kallio
1966, Water Supply Paper 1869-B
The effect of vertical motion on the performance of current meters at various stream velocities was evaluated to determine whether accurate discharge measurements can be made from a bobbing boat. Three types of current meters--Ott, Price, and vane types--were tested under conditions simulating a bobbing boat. A known frequency and...
