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 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...

Ground-water reconnaissance of American Samoa
Daniel Arthur Davis
1963, Water Supply Paper 1608-C
The principal islands of American Samoa are Tutuila, Aunuu, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u, which have a total area of about 72 square miles and a population of about 20,000. The mean annual rainfall is 150 to 200 inches. The islands are volcanic in origin and are composed of lava flows,...

Hydrology of stock-water development on the public domain of western Utah
Charles T. Snyder
1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-N
A geologic and hydrologic reconnaissance was made on the public domain of western Utah to appraise the water resources of the area and to provide a basis for locating and developing sources of stock water. The study area includes the Bonneville, Pahvant, and Virgin Grazing Districts, in parts of Tooele,...
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 ground-water resources of Hays County, Texas
Kenneth James DeCook
1963, Water Supply Paper 1612
The Edwards limestone of Early Cretaceous age is the chief aquifer for San Marcos Springs and about 160 other springs and wells in Hays County, along the Balcones fault zone in South-central Texas. Hays County is underlain by a basement of Paleozoic rocks; and in the southeastern part of the county...
Large springs of east Tennessee
Pao-chang P. Sun, J.H. Criner, J. L. Poole
1963, Water Supply Paper 1755
Springs constitute an important source of water in east Tennessee, and many individual springs are capable of supplying the large quantities needed for municipal and industrial supplies. Most of the springs in east Tennessee issue from solution openings and fractured and faulted zones in limestone and dolomite of the Knox...
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...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States, part 13. Snake River basin
C.A. Thomas, H. C. Broom, J. E. Cummans
1963, Water Supply Paper 1688
The magnitude of a flood of any selected frequency up to 50 years for any site on any stream in the Snake River basin can be determined by methods outlined in this report, with some limitations. The methods are not applicable for regulated streams, for drainage basins smaller than 10...

Water requirements of the styrene, butadiene and synthetic-rubber industries
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...
Chemical quality of surface waters in Pennsylvania
Charles N. Durfor, Peter W. Anderson
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-W
Pennsylvania has an abundant supply of surface water of good quality. The average rainfall over the 45,300 square miles in the State is about 42 inches per year. Of this amount, about 50 percent appears in the streams as runoff. The combined mean annual runoff of the Delaware, Ohio, and...
