This excellent text is a pioneering work in the study of landform development under processes associated with running water. Its primary emphasis is on subjects that were the focus of the authors' studies in both field and laboratory. Part I deals with the process of change in the evolving landscape....

Arizona is a state in which development has proceeded sufficiently rapidly relative to the available water supply that its water problems are as acute as those of nearly any other state in the Union. Owing to the fact that, in the past, the principal use of water was for irrigation,...

The earth, Including Its oceans and atmosphere, ls a giant distillation system whose operation brings about the distribution of fresh water throughout the world, from the frozen wastes of polar regions to the burning equatorial deserts. Stated in the simplest terms, distillation, condensation and liquid flow are the elemental processes...

This investigation studied simazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine), atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine), propazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine), and prometone (2-methoxy-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine). Preemergence applications of granular formulations of simazine on attaclay or calcium sulfate of simazine at 1 to 2 ppmw controlled Potamogeton, Najas, Ceratophyllum, Heteranthera and Zannichellia. Higher rates were required to control filamentous algae (Cladophora and <span...

This digital dataset describes classes of land-surface form in the conterminous United States. The source of the data is the map of land-surface form in the 1970 National Atlas of the United States, pages 62-63, which was adapted from Edwin H. Hammond, "Classes of land surface form in the...

The report area comprises 270 square miles, and includes most of the Towns of Babylon and Islip, and parts of the Towns of Huntington, Smithtown, and Brookhaven, in southwestern Suffolk County, New York. Almost all the water used in the area is obtained from wells screened in permeable zones of...

The West Branch Susquehanna River is 228 miles long and drains 6,913 square miles of mountainous area in central Pennsylvania. Much of this area is forestcovered wilderness, part of which is reserved as State game land. Wild animals, such as deer, bear, turkey and grouse, are sheltered there, and many...

This report presents the results of an investigation of the ground-water resources of the populated parts of Clark County. Yields adequate for irrigation can be obtained from wells inmost farmed areas in Clark County, Wash. The total available supply is sufficient for all foreseeable irrigation developments. In a few local...

The Snake River basin, in southern Idaho, upstream from the mouth of the Powder River in Oregon, includes more than 50 percent of the land area and 65 percent of the total population of the State. More than 2.5 million acres of land is irrigated ; irrigation agriculture and industry...

Reliable data on Utah's water resources are essential to development of a State Water plan. While the need for such data was outlined in the report entitles "Developing a State Water Plan - Utah's water resources, problems, and needs - A challenge" published by the Utah Water and Power Board...

This report is intended to serve two purposes: (1) to make available to the public basic ground-water data useful in planning and studying development of water resources, and (2) to supplement an interpretive report that will be published later.Records were collected during the period 1935-64 by the U.S. Geological survey...

This data release is a compilation that presents water-quality data for the period October 1962 to September 1963 for the sites listed on page 2. These preliminary data are subject to revision before final publication in the annual series of U.S. Geological Survey Water-supply papers entitled Quality of surface waters...

This report is intended to serve two purposes: (1) to make available to the public basic ground-water data useful in planning and studying development of water resources, and (2) to supplement an interpretive report that will be published later.Records were collected during 1961-63 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation...

In 1954 four core holes were drilled in the pre-Selma Cretaceous strata of the Alabama Coastal Plain in order to get unweathered samples within a few miles of the outcrops. During the next few years several specialists studied the cores, and their reports are published as consecutive parts of this...

This report presents without interpretation methods used in and the results of chemical analyses, and supplemental observations of temperatures at depth, transparency, and meteorological conditions for Lake Michigan in 1954, 1955, 1960, and 1961....
