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....

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...

Reconnaissance of the geology and ground-water resources in the Aurora area, St. Louis county, Minnesota
Robert W. Maclay
1966, Water Supply Paper 1809-U
The Aurora area is a glaciated upland of drift-mantled slopes, channels, swamps, and glacial-lake plains. It covers about 24 square miles of the eastern part of the Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota. A deep narrow channel along the Embarrass River, the principal outlet of a former large glacial lake...

Sedimentation and chemical quality of surface water in the Heart River drainage basin, North Dakota
Marion L. Maderak
1966, Water Supply Paper 1823
The Heart River drainage basin of southwestern North Dakota comprises an area of 3,365 square miles and lies within the Missouri Plateau of the Great Plains province. Streamflow of the Heart River and its tributaries during 1949-58 was directly proportional to .the drainage area. After the construction of Heart Butte...
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...
Induced recharge of an artesian glacial-drift aquifer at Kalamazoo, Michigan
J.E. Reed, Morris Deutsch, S.W. Wiitala
1966, Water Supply Paper 1594-D
As part of a program for managing its ground-water supply, the city of Kalamazoo has constructed induced-recharge facilities at the sites of several of its well fields. To determine the benefits of induced recharge in a water-management program, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city, conducted a series...
