1966, Open-File Report 66-21
The Kern River alluvial fan is the southernmost major alluvial fan built by the streams which drain the west side of the Sierra Nevada. The climate is semiarid with rainfall near 5 inches per year. Agricultural development within the area uses over half the 700,000 acre-feet per year flow of...
Selected techniques in water resources investigations, 1965
1966, Water Supply Paper 1822
Increasing world activity in water-resources development has created an interest in techniques for conducting investigations in the field. In the United States, the Geological Survey has the responsibility for extensive and intensive hydrologic studies, and the Survey places considerable emphasis on discovering better ways to carry out its responsibility. For...
Hydrology of the cavernous limestones of the Mammoth Cave area, Kentucky
Richmond F. Brown
1966, Water Supply Paper 1837
The Mammoth Cave National Park in central Kentucky offers a unique opportunity to study the occurrence of ground water in limestone under natural conditions. Ground water occurs as perched and semiperched bodies in alternate sandstone, shale, and limestone formations and under water-table conditions at the approximate level of the Green...
Hydrology of Cornfield Wash area and effects of land-treatment practices, Sandoval County, New Mexico, 1951-60
D. E. Burkham
1966, Water Supply Paper 1831
The collection of runoff and sediment data was the primary objective of the 10-year (1951-60) study in the Cornfield Wash basin, which has an area of 21.3 square miles. However, reconnaissance investigations also were made of (1) precipitation; (2) the effects of reservoirs on runoff, erosion, and sediment yield; (3)...

A cooperative investigation to determine the geology of the Weber Delta district, with emphasis on the occurrence and chemical quality of ground water, was made by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation with the later assistance of the Utah State Engineer in the final preparation of...
Hydrology of the Upper Capibaribe Basin, Pernambuco, Brazil - A reconnaissance in an Area of Crystalline Rocks
Luiz Goncalves Chada Filho, Mario Dias Pessoa, William C. Sinclair
1966, Water Supply Paper 1663-E
The upper Capibaribe basin is the western three-fourths, approximately, of the valley of the river that empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Recife, the capital of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. It is the part of the drainage basin that is within the Drought Polygon of northeast Brazil, and it...
Recharge studies on the High Plains in northern Lea County, New Mexico
John S. Havens
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-F
The area described in this report is that part of the southern High Plains principally within northern Lea County, N. Mex. ; it comprises about 1,400,000 acres. Hydrologic boundaries isolate the main aquifer of the area, the Ogallala Formation, from outside sources of natural recharge other than precipitation on the...

Effects of agricultural conservation practices on the hydrology of Corey Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1954-60
Benjamin L. Jones
1966, Water Supply Paper 1532-C
Analyses of data collected from two small basins in northern Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1960 indicated that changes in land use and land treatment have affected suspended- sediment discharge from the basins. Extensive land use and land-treatment changes have taken place in the 12.2-square-mile Corey Creek...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of Point Reyes National Seashore area, California
R. H. Dale, S. E. Rantz
1966, Open-File Report 66-22
This report summarizes the results of a hydrologic reconnaissance of the Point Reyes National Seashore area, the primary purpose of which was to appraise potential sources of water supply at park sites where visitor accommodations are proposed. Point Reyes National Seashore is a peninsular area on the California coast about...
The changing pattern of ground-water development on Long Island, New York
Ralph C. Heath, B. L. Foxworthy, Philip M. Cohen
1966, Circular 524
Ground-water development on Long Island has followed a pattern that has reflected changing population trends, attendant changes in the use and disposal of water, and the response of the hydrologic system to these changes. The historic pattern of development has ranged from individually owned shallow wells tapping glacial deposits to...

Summary of hydrologic conditions of the Louisville area, Kentucky
Edwin Allen Bell
1966, Water Supply Paper 1819-C
Water problems and their solutions have been associated with the growth and development of the Louisville area for more than a century. Many hydrologic data that aided water users in the past can be applied to present water problems and will be helpful for solving many similar problems in the...

Hydrochemical facies and ground-water flow patterns in northern part of Atlantic Coastal Plain
William Back
1966, Professional Paper 498-A
The part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain that extends from New Jersey through Virginia was selected as a suitable field model in which to study the relationships between geology, hydrology, and chemical character of ground water. The ground-water flow pattern is the principal hydrologic control on the chemical character of...
Water resources in the Everglades

Aerial photography is playing an important role in the evaluation of the water resources of the almost-inaccessible 1,400 square miles of Everglades in southern Florida. Color, infrared, and panchromatic photographs show salient features that permit evaluation of the overall water resources picture. The fresh water-salt water interface, drainage...

1966, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (11) 61-73
Permeability and storage characteristics in the Tertiary limestone system of southern United States have developed progressively but non-uniformly as circulation of water and solution in the limestone have changed during the geologic and hydrologic history.The limestone formations, predominantly of Eocene age and subordinated of Oligocene and Miocene age, are widespread...
The effect of climate on drainage density and streamflow
C.W. Carlston
1966, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (11) 62-69
Sir Charles Cotton (1964) has pointed out that in an earlier paper (Carlston, 1963) which related drainage density to hydrology, there was insufficient emphasis on the role of climate in its effect on drainage density. Re-examination of the relation of drainage density to base flow in the 15 basins originally...
