Geology of the Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico
Philip Thayer Hayes
1964, Professional Paper 446
After the discovery of oil in Permian rocks in Winkler County, Tex., in 1920, petroleum exploration intensified in adjacent parts of western Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Almost immediately unusual stratigraphic complexities were discovered in the Permian rocks. Thus began a long period of stratigraphic investigations, chiefly reconnaissance studies, of...
Ground-water provinces of southern Rhodesia

1964, Water Supply Paper 1757-D
Ground-water development, utilization, and occurrence in nine ground-water provinces of Southern Rhodesia are summarized in this report. Water obtained from drilled wells for domestic and stock use has played an important part in the social and economic development of Southern Rhodesia from the beginnings of European settlement to the present....
Geology and ground-water conditions in the Wilmington-Reading area, Massachusetts
John Augustus Baker, H.G. Healy, O. M. Hackett
1964, Water Supply Paper 1694
The Wilmington-Reading area, as defined for this report, contains the headwaters of the Ipswich River in northeastern Massachusetts.

1964, Water Supply Paper 1669-CC
The average daily load of the Brazos River at Possum Kingdom Reservoir is about 2,800 tons of dissolved solids, of which 1,000 tons is chloride. More than 85 percent of the chloride load is contributed by the Salt Fork Brazos River, and more than 50 percent of the chloride load...

Richardson County is in the extreme southeast corner of Nebraska. It has an area of 545 square miles, and in 1960 it had a population of 13,903. The county is in the physiographic region referred to as the Dissected Loess-covered Till Prairies. Major drainage consists of the Big Nemaha River,...
Field measurement of alkalinity and pH
Ivan Barnes
1964, Water Supply Paper 1535-H
The behavior of electrometric pH equipment under field conditions departs from the behavior predicted from Nernst's law. The response is a linear function of pH, and hence measured pH values may be corrected to true pH if the instrument is calibrated with two reference solutions for each measurement. Alkalinity titrations...

George A. Dinwiddie, Ward Sundt Motts
1964, Water Supply Paper 1576-E
The need for additional water has increased in recent years on the Acoma and Laguna Indian Reservations in west-central New Mexico because the population and per capita use of water have increased; the tribes also desire water for light industry, for more modern schools, and to increase their irrigation program....

Sea water in coastal aquifers
Hilton H. Cooper
1964, Water Supply Paper 1613-C
Investigations in the coastal part of the Biscayne aquifer, a highly productive aquifer of limestone and sand in the Miami area, Florida, show that the salt-water front is dynamically stable as much as 8 miles seaward of the position computed according to the Ghyben-Herzberg principle. This discrepancy results, at least...

Magnitude and frequency of floods in Alaska south of the Yukon River
Vernon Kenneth Berwick, Joseph M. Childers, M.A. Kuentzel
1964, Circular 493
This report presents a method for evaluating the magnitude and frequency of floods on the basis of the analysis of flood records. One composite frequency curve is applied to the entire study region. This curve relates floods of various magnitudes at any site within the region to probable recurrence intervals...
