Electric analog of three-dimensional flow to wells and its application to unconfined aquifers
Robert W. Stallman
1963, Water Supply Paper 1536-H
Electric-analog design criteria are established from the differential equations of ground-water flow for analyzing pumping-test data. A convenient analog design was obtained by transforming the cylindrical equation of flow to a rectilinear form. The design criteria were applied in the construction of an electric analog, which was used for studying...

Geology and occurrence of ground water in Lyon County, Minnesota
Harry G. Rodis
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-N
Lyon County is in southwestern Minnesota, mostly within the drainage basin of the Minnesota River. The basement rocks in the area consist largely of Precambrian granite and quartzite. These are overlain locally by flat-lying Upper Cretaceous strata composed of thick sections of soft dark-bluish-gray shale and some thin beds of...

Ground-water contamination and legal controls in Michigan
Morris Deutsch
1963, Water Supply Paper 1691
The great importance of the fresh ground-water resources of Michigan is evident because 90 percent of the rural and about 70 percent of the total population of the State exclusive of the Detroit metropolitan area are supplied from underground sources. The water-supply and public-health problems that have been caused by...

Ground-water resources of the Alma area, Michigan
Kenneth E. Vanlier
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-E
The Alma area consists of 30 square miles in the northwestern part of Gratiot County, Mich. It is an area of slight relief gently rolling hills and level plains and is an important agricultural center in the State.The Saginaw formation, which forms the bedrock surface in part of the area,...
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...
Ground water for public supply in St. Croix, Virgin Islands
Garth Edison Hendrickson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1663-D
The ground-water resources of St. Croix, V.I., if properly developed should be adequate to supply the present and near-future demand for water for public supply. Ground water is obtained from weathered volcanic and intrusive rocks (bedrocks), from limestone, and from alluvium. The water obtained from weathered bedrocks and from alluvium...

Two hundred and forty-five dispersions of long-chain alkanols were formulated by using various emulsifiers and alkanols. The dispensing and spreading ability of each of these formulations was tested. The most promising emulsifier that could be used with any of the alkanols was glyceryl monostearate (self-emulsifying). However, the concentration of the...
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 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...

Charles N. Durfor
1963, Water Supply Paper 1330-F
About 710 million gallons of makeup water is withdrawn daily by the styrene, butadiene, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and specialty-rubber industries; 88 percent of this water is used only for once-through cooling. About 429 million gallons of water daily (mgd) is withdrawn by the butadiene industry; 158 ragd is withdrawn by...
