Analysis of a 24-Year photographic record of Nisqually glacier, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Fred M. Veatch
1969, Professional Paper 631
A systematic coverage of Nisqually Glacier by photographs taken from a network of stations on the ground was begun in 1942 to explore the value and limitations of such photographs as an aid in glacier study. Principles developed may be of value elsewhere, especially for the program 'Measurement of Glacier...
Chemical properties of ground water and their corrosion and encrustation effects on wells
Ivan Barnes, Frank Eldridge Clarke
1969, Professional Paper 498-D
Well waters in Egypt, Nigeria, and West Pakistan were studied for their chemical properties and corrosive or encrusting behavior. From the chemical composition of the waters, reaction states with reference to equilibrium were tested for 29 possible coexisting oxides, carbonates, sulfides, and elements. Of the 29 solids considered, only calcite,...

Hydrogeologic information on the Glorieta Sandstone and the Ogallala Formation in the Oklahoma Panhandle and adjoining areas as related to underground waste disposal
James Haskell Irwin, Robert B. Morton
1969, Circular 630
The Oklahoma Panhandle and adjacent areas in Texas, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico have prospered because of the development of supplies of fresh water and of oil and gas. The Ogallala and, in places, Cretaceous rocks produce fresh water for irrigation, public supply, and domestic and stock use through approximately...
Scientific or rule-of-thumb techniques of ground-water management--Which will prevail?
Charles Lee McGuinness
1969, Circular 608
Emphasis in ground-water development, once directed largely to quantitatively minor (but sociologically vital) service of human and stock needs, is shifting: aquifers are treated as possible regulating reservoirs managed conjunctively with surface water. Too, emphasis on reducing stream pollution is stimulating interest in aquifers as possible waste-storage media. Such management...

Water in the Kahuku area, Oahu, Hawaii
K. J. Takasaki, Santos Valenciano
1969, Water Supply Paper 1874
The Kahuku area comprises the north end of the Koolau Range and its bordering coastal plain. This part of the range is less deeply eroded than oth3r parts, and except for long, narrow valleys and cliffs near the shore, it has retained the general shape of the original volcanic dome....

Hydrogeology of the Scioto River Valley near Piketon, south-central Ohio
Stanley Eugene Norris, Richard E. Fidler
1969, Water Supply Paper 1872
A systematic study was made of one of Ohio's principal aquifers, a sand and gravel outwash in the Scioto River Valley, to determine the feasibility of developing a ground-water supply of 20 million gallons per day at a site near Piketon. The first part of the study was spent in...
Ground-water resources of the Wind River Indian Reservation, Wyoming
Laurence J. McGreevy, Warren Gayler Hodson, Samuel J. Rucker IV
1969, Water Supply Paper 1576-I
The area of this investigation is in the western part of the Wind River Basin and includes parts of the Absaroka, Washakie, Wind River, and Owl Creek Mountains. The purposes of the study were to determine the general hydrologic properties of the rocks in the area and the occurrence and...
Floods of June 1965 in South Platte River basin, Colorado
Howard Frederick Matthai
1969, Water Supply Paper 1850-B
Heavy, intense rains in three areas on three different days caused outstanding floods on many streams in the South Platte River basin from Plum Creek, just south of Denver, downstream to the Colorado-Nebraska State line. The flood-producing storms followed a relatively wet period, and rainfall of as much as 14...
Floods in Gravois Creek Basin, St. Louis County, Missouri
L.D. Hauth, D.W. Spencer
1969, Open-File Report 69-122
The rapid growth of suburban St. Louis presents problems in the social and economic development of flood plains within the area. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, is conducting a study of the hydrology of five major drainage basins within the area of...

Ground water in the Ogallala formation in the southern high plains of Texas and New Mexico
J.G. Cronin
1969, Hydrologic Atlas 330
The Ogallala Formation of Tertiary (Pliocene) age is the principal aquifer in the Southern High Plains of western Texas and eastern New Mexico. This heavily pumped aquifer supplies practically all the water used for irrigation, municipal, industrial (except oil-field repressuring), and domestic purposes. Although the ground water in the Ogallala Formation...
