Water in the Dakota and Purgatoire Formations in Otero County and the southern part of Crowley County, Colorado
William G. Weist
1963, Water Supply Paper 1669-P
The hardness of available shallow ground water in Otero County and in the southern part of Crowley County generally exceeds 1,000 parts per million, and the water requires treatment for most uses. To obtain a supply of softer water, wells have been drilled into the Dakota Sandstone and the Cheyenne...
Determination of beta activity in water
F. B. Barker, B.P. Robinson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1696-A
Many elements have one or more naturally radioactive isotopes, and several hundred other radionuclides have been produced artificially. Radioactive substances may be present in natural water as a result of geochemical processes or the release of radioactive waste and other nuclear debris to the environment. The Geological Survey has developed...

Ground-water geology of Bexar County, Texas
Ted Arnow
1963, Water Supply Paper 1588
The investigation in Bexar County was part of a comprehensive study of a large area in south-central Texas underlain by the Edwards and associated limestones (Comanche Peak and Georgetown) of Cretaceous age. The limestones form an aquifer which supplies water to the city of San Antonio, several military installations, many...

B. L. Foxworthy, R.L. Washburn
1963, Water Supply Paper 1655
This report presents the results of an investigation of the ground-water resources of the Pullman area, Whitman County, Wash. The investigation war made in cooperation with the State of Washington, Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources, to determine whether the 1959 rate of ground-water withdrawal exceeded the perennial yield...
Specific Yield--Column drainage and centrifuge moisture content
A.I. Johnson, R.C. Prill, D. A. Morris
1963, Water Supply Paper 1662-A
The specific yield of a rock or soil, with respect to water, is the ratio of (1) the volume of water which, after being saturated, it will yield by gravity to (2) its own volume. Specific retention represents the water retained against gravity drainage. The specific yield and retention when...

Ground-water geology of Karnes County, Texas
Robert B. Anders
1963, Water Supply Paper 1539-G
The exposed rocks and those underlying Karnes County dip toward the Gulf of Mexico at average rates ranging from 20 to more than 200 feet per mile. The oil fields are on structures associated with faulting; the effect of faulting on the occurrence of ground water has not been determined. The...
Ground-water exploration and test pumping in the Halma-Lake Bronson area, Kittson County, Minnesota
George R. Schiner
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-BB
The Halma-Lake Bronson area covers about 80 square miles in the northwestern corner of Minnesota. It is a relatively featureless poorly drained glacial drift plain which slopes gently to the west about 10 feet per mile. The plain is interrupted by sand dunes and by beach deposits of Glacial Lake...

Variations in the chemical character of the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Peter W. Anderson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1779-B
The chemical quality of the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg is influenced by three major factors: streamflow, anthracite and bituminous coal-mine drainage, and geology. Water samples collected at Harrisburg near the west bank of the Susquehanna River and those of western tributaries that drain limestone terranes are similar in chemical quality....
