Ground-water resources and geology of the Gila Bend and Dendora areas, Maricopa County, Arizona
P.W. Johnson, J.M. Cahill
1955, Open-File Report 55-75
The contemplated construction of an earth-fill flood-control dam on the Gila River in the vicinity of Gila Bend, Ariz., required a preliminary evaluation of the effects of such a structure upon the water supply of the area. The proposed dam would temporarily impound teh occasional floods that constitute the only...
Flood of May 27-28, 1954, in Panola and Lafayette Counties, Mississippi
W.H. Goines
1955, Open-File Report 55-48
As a result of heavy rains during the late afternoon and night of May 27, 1954, record-breaking floods occurred on small streams in Panola and Lafayette Counties. All flooding was in rural areas, and no loss of life was reported. The Agriculture Stabilization Committees at Sardis and at Oxford estimated...
Records of wells and water-level fluctuations in the Aberdeen-Springfield area, Bingham and Power counties, Idaho in 1954
Harold G. Sisco
1955, Open-File Report 55-165
This report contains records of observation wells and water-level fluctuations for the calendar year 1954 in the Aberdeen-Springfield area, Bingham and Power Counties, Idaho. Systematic observations in the Aberdeen-Springfield area were begun by the Geological Survey in 1952. Each year a progress report is issued and this report is number 3...
Ground-water-supply possibilities in parts of Bear Lake and Caribou Counties, Idaho
R. C. Scott
1955, Open-File Report 55-162
Ground-water possibilities in parts of Bear Lake and Caribou counties, Idaho, were studied briefly, with special reference to the vicinities of Dingle and Montpelier and to the availability of ground water for expected industrial developments. The work was part of the ground-water investigations by the Geological Survey in cooperation with...
Floods in North Carolina, frequency and magnitude
H. C. Riggs
1955, Open-File Report 55-151
Recorded annual flood stages and discharges at 144 gaging stations are listed. Also included are maximum known flood stages and discharges, both at gaging stations and at miscellaneous sites. Using the annual flood discharge at gaging stations a regional analysis of flood magnitudes and frequencies in the state was made....
Extending flood-frequency graphs by comparison with rainfall
W. B. Langbein
1955, Open-File Report 55-90
Flood discharge is the consequence of many contributing hydrologic events which may be presumed to occur fortuitously and independently, such that the probability of a given flood is the product of the probability of each independent contributing event. Of the many factors that lead to a flood, the two most...

The Clinchfield Coal Company No. 102 well was drilled in the western part of Buchanan County near the Dickinson County line. The well started in the Pennsylvanian Norton formation and originally stopped in the Big Stone Gap shale. It was later deepened during 1950 to a total depth of 5847...

Water supplies for irrigation in the Northeast
C.H. Hardison, O. M. Hackett
1955, Open-File Report 55-57
The subject of this paper as given on the program is "Water Supplies for Irrigation in the Northeast." Both surface-water and ground-water resources are discussed, although with somewhat differing approaches. First we discuss the use of streamflow data in estimating the surface-water supplies available for irrigation use. Then we treat...
Ground-water and drainage problems in the Whitney terrace area, Boise, Idaho
S. W. West
1955, Open-File Report 55-192
Ground-water levels in the Whitney terrace area, after many years of rise owing to downward percolation of water from irrigated land, became nearly stabilized by 1935. Strong seasonal water-level fluctuations of 8 to 10 feet, however, are common in the Boise Valley. In recent years, the Whitney terrace has been...

Ground water and the law - some selected annotated references
Robert C. Vorhis
1955, Open-File Report 55-184
The strictly "legal" literature of ground-water use and control -except for a few essays in certain of the law reviews- is quite limited. A larger and more pointful source of information and analysis is the legal-scientific writings of the geologists, hydrologists, meteorologists, engineers and others. When new statutes are to...
Water levels in observation wells in part of Montana, 1946-1953
F. A. Swenson
1955, Open-File Report 55-180
Ground-water investigations were made by the Ground Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, from 1946 to 1954, inclusive, in several parts of Montana. These studies were made as part of the program of the Department of the Interior for development of the Missouri River Basin. Thus, the areas selected for...
The outlook for ground-water resources in Texas
R.W. Sundstrom
1955, Open-File Report 55-178
The future of ground-water supplies in Texas presents a problem that is very important to the economy of Texas and to the well-being of almost every citizen of the state. It is of particular importance to more than 580 municipalities using ground water as the sole source of water supply;...

1955, Open-File Report 55-63
The development of the San Manuel copper prospect has greatly increased traffic along State Highway 77. Considerable interest in commercial possibilities along that road has resulted in a request by the Arizona State Land Department for information about the ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction. This request came too...
