Saline groundwater resources of the conterminous United States
J. H. Feth
1970, Water Resources Research (6) 1454-1457
Saline water is arbitrarily defined as water containing more than 1000 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids. Saline ground water is known to underlie about two‐thirds of the 48 states. Locally, aquifers yield saline ground water in profuse quantities, some of which is used by industry, particularly for cooling. Generally,...
Comparison of chemical hydrogeology of the carbonate peninsulas of Florida and Yucatan
W. Back, B.B. Hanshaw
1970, Journal of Hydrology (10) 330-368
Aquifers of the peninsulas of Florida and northern Yucatan are Tertiary marine carbonate formations showing many lithologic and faunal similarities. In addition, the tropical to subtropical climates of the two areas are similar, each having annual rainfall of about 1000 to 1500 mm.Despite similarities in these fundamental controls, contrasts in...

Comparative hydrogeology: An example of its use
Harry E. LeGrand
1970, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (81) 1243-1248
As a start toward needed classifications of hydrogeologic settings, a type of setting is described. The setting includes areas where soluble materials are exposed to considerable recharge from precipitation and where both the topographic relief and permeability are inappreciable. Typical areas of this setting are (1) the Black Belt of...
Nuclear methods applied to uranium geochemistry
J. N. Rosholt
1970, IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science (17) 173-176
Stable and radioactive daughter products produced from nuclear disintegrations of uranium have proved useful in fundamental studies of the geochemistry of uranium in igneous rock and sedimentary environments and in ore deposits. Information gained from geochemical studies of uranium migration has been used to develop models...

The IASH Commission of Snow and Ice met jointly with the Working Group on Glaciology of the Special Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).Five technical guides have been prepared by the Commission of Snow and Ice for major IHD projects and have been in press at Unesco for more than a...
On the theory of evolution of river nets
A. E. Scheidegger
1970, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (15) 109-114
An investigation is made of the growth of river basins based on the two current models of the structure of such basins: the cyclic model and the random-graph model. Based on the assumption that the networks grow allometrically, the structure of the network that evolves has...

John R. Williams, Richard E. Willey
1970, Massachusetts Hydrologic - Data Report 12
The Taunton River, emptying into an arm of Narragansett Bay at Fall River, drains 528 square miles of interior southeastern Massachusetts. The Taunton River basin is separated from the basins of short streams draining to the coast by low divides on the east, south, and southwest. On the west and...
Hydrologic research on instrumented watersheds
Luna Bergere Leopold
1970, Conference Paper, Colloque de Wellington Symposium, 1970, Results of Research on Representative and Experimental Basins (IASH Publication 97)
The successful research man is the one who asks himself the right question. Research must go on primarily in the mind and only secondarily in the physical and biological world. It is only too easy to confuse the choice of a proper tool and the choice of a proper question....

Quality of surface water in the Bear River basin, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
K.M. Waddell
1970, Utah Basic-Data Release 18
Water-quality data have been collected intermittently at several sites in the Bear River basin since 1947. Because the Bear River flows through three States - Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho - water-quality programs have been confined for the most part within State boundaries. In 1967, the U.S. Geological Survey, as a...
