Water-management studies of a stream-aquifer system, Arkansas River Valley, Colorado
O. James Taylor, Richard R. Luckey
1974, Groundwater (12) 22-38
A mathematical model was developed and used to simulate the stream-aquifer system in the Arkansas River valley in southeastern Colorado, from Pueblo to the Colorado-Kansas State line. The model simulates the interrelations among ground water and surface water including reservoirs, losses, and transmountain diversions, utilizing various water-distribution rules. The model...

A note on costs of collecting hydrometric flow data in the United States
W. B. Langbein, G. E. Harbeck Jr.
1974, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (19) 227-229
Information for comparing costs of collecting hydrometric data in different countries may promote efficiency of operations. The hydrometric programme in the United States consists of 8400 full-record stations and an equal number of partial-record stations operated by 47 district offices. A sampling of four districts selected to represent the range...
Determination of selenium in water
M. Lansford, E. M. McPherson, Marvin J. Fishman
1974, Atomic Absorption Newsletter (13) 103-105
The determination of selenium by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrophotometry using zinc is widely used. Very little is mentioned, however, on possible interferences. In an attempt to use this technique for the determination of selenium in natural waters, interferences were found. The most serious interference occurred when arsenic was present....

Isotopic composition of carbon and hydrogen in some Apollo 14 and 15 lunar samples
Irving Friedman, Kenneth G. Hardcastle, Jim D. Gleason
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 7-12
Isotopic composition of carbon and hydrogen in some Apollo 14 and 15 lunar samples was determined by use of a newly constructed combustion line that yields low blanks for CO2 and H2. The results from combustion of fines and breccia from Apollo 14 lunar samples and of fines, breccia, and basalt from Apollo 15...
Life history of the spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius) in southeastern Lake Michigan, the Kalamazoo River, and western Lake Erie
LaRue Wells, Robert House
1974, Research Report 78
In southeastern Lake Michigan spottail shiners in samples ranged from ages 0 to V, but most were in age groups I-IV. In the Kalamazoo River (a tributary of southeastern Lake Michigan) age group II was commonest in the catches, and no fish older than age IV were sampled. In western...

Control of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in Lake Superior, 1953-70
Bernard R. Smith, J. James Tibbles, B. G. H. Johnson
1974, Technical Report 26
The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) gained entrance into Lake Superior in the early 1940's, and began making drastic inroads on the fish stocks by the early 1950's. Serious efforts to control the parasite began in 1953 with the installation of electrical barriers in streams to block spawning runs. Control measures...
Movement and recapture of parasitic-phase sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) tagged in the St. Marys River and Lakes Huron and Michigan, 1963-67
Harry H. Moore, Frederick H. Dahl, Aarne K. Lamsa
1974, Technical Report 27
Recoveries of 477 (11.8%) of 4,048 tagged parasitic-phase sea lampreys showed that lampreys moved extensively and that interchange between the Great Lakes was common. Of 93 recoveries from 2,265 tagged lampreys released below the navigation locks in the St. Marys River, 80 were in Lake Huron, 12 in Lake Superior,...

Map showing areas serviced by public water-supply agencies in 1973 greater Pittsburgh region, southwestern Pennsylvania
Robert M. Beall
1974, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 607
Urban water planning, development, and management are many sectored, costly efforts, subject to a multitude of controls and demands including those imposed by nature. One primary concern in development is for providing a dependable and safe water supply. In spite of a bountiful natural availability, the process of satisfying consumer...
Antiferromagnetic inclusions in lunar glass

1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (22) 85-90
The magnetic susceptibility of 11 glass spherules from the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 fines and two specimens of a relatively large glass spherical shell were studied as a function of temperature from room temperature to liquid helium temperatures. All but one...

Episodic Cenozoic volcanism and tectonism in the Andes of Peru
D. C. Noble, E.H. McKee, E. Farrar, U. Petersen
1974, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (21) 213-220
Radiometric and geologic information indicate a complex history of Cenozoic volcanism and tectonism in the central Andes. K-Ar ages on silicic pyroclastic rocks demonstrate major volcanic activity in central and southern Peru, northern Chile, and adjacent areas during the Early and Middle...
Water quality effects of seepage from earthen dams
C. Yost Jr., J.W. Naney
1974, Journal of Hydrology (21) 15-26
Analyses of surface and seepage waters from selected floodwater retarding structures in west-central Oklahoma, U.S.A. show the salinity of seepage to be several times greater than that of the impounded waters. The increases in concentration of the several chemical components are not proportional....
40Ar/39Ar age spectra of some undisturbed terrestrial samples

1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 715-738
40Ar/39Ar age spectra and 40Ar/36Ar vs 39Ar/36Ar isochrons were determined by incremental heating for 11 terrestrial rocks and minerals whose geology indicates that they represent essentially undisturbed systems. The samples include muscovite, biotite, hornblende, sanidine, plagioclase, dacite, diabase and basalt and range in age from...

A probe for sampling interstitial waters of stream sediments and bog soils is described. Samples can be obtained within a stratigraphic interval of 2–3 cm, to a depth of 60–80 cm, and with little or no contamination of the samples by sediment or...
The scavenging of silver by manganese and iron oxides in stream sediments collected from two drainage areas of Colorado
T. T. Chao, B.J. Anderson
1974, Chemical Geology (14) 159-166
Stream sediments of two well-weathered and aerated drainage areas of Colorado containing anomalous amounts of silver were allowed to react by shaking with nitric acid of different concentrations (1–10M). Silver, manganese, and iron simultaneously dissolved were determined by atomic absorption. The relationship...
