A definition of dominant discharge
M. A. Benson, D. M. Thomas
1966, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (11) 76-80
The concept of dominant (stream) discharge in geomorphology has not been firmly defined. By defining it, on rational grounds, as that discharge at which, over a long period of time, most sediment has been transported, a definite value can be computed for a stream for which there are available duration-curve values of daily discharge and a sediment-rating curve. This has been done for 5 eastern and...

Soviet books and publications on hydrology (continental) and hydrogeology: titles and some notes on obtaining Soviet monographs
Frank T. Manheim
1966, Report, Water Resources Division Bulletin
A common method of publication for Soviet scientists, which partly supplants periodicals, is the publication of a collection of articles on a general area of research, frequently by members of a given institution. An extensive sampling of world geologic literature for 1961 (Hawkes, 1966) showed that 33 percent of Soviet...
Test well sites and preliminary evaluation of ground-water potential in Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Donald G. Jordan
1966, Report
Moderate supplies of potable ground water are believed to be available in the Roadtown and Paraquita Bay areas, and small, possibly brackish supplies in the Long Look and West End areas of Tortola. Two water bearing units of the same hydrologic system have the potential of yielding water to wells:...
Soviet books and publications on geological and chemical oceanography, hydrology, and other subjects acquired during the second international oceanographic congress, Moscow, June 1966: titles and some translated contents and notes
F.T. Manheim
1966, Report
The listed publications represent a selection, by no means complete, of recent Soviet work in geological and chemical oceanography. Some works on hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the continents, as well as a few publications on other subjects, such as geology, geophysics, and biology, also are included....
Hydrology of limestone terranes in the coastal plain of the Southeastern United States
V. T. Stringfield, H. E. LeGrand
1966, Special Paper of the Geological Society of America (93) 1-46
The very productive limestone aquifers of Tertiary and Quaternary age in the Coastal Plain of the Southeastern States contain a water-table circulation system where aquifers are at or near the land surface; the Tertiary limestone unit is a homoclinal artesian system confined beneath younger beds in coastal areas.The Tertiary limestone...

Glacier mass budget measurements by hydrologic means
Wendell V. Tangborn
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 105-110
Ice storage changes for the South Cascade Glacier drainage basin were determined for the 1957–1964 period using basin runoff and precipitation measurements. Measurements indicate that evaporation and condensation are negligible compared with the large runoff and precipitation values. Runoff, measured by a stream discharge station, averaged 4.04 m/yr; precipitation, determined...
Waste injection into a deep limestone in northwestern Florida
J.T. Barraclough
1966, Groundwater (4) 22-24
During a three-month trial period, 70 million gallons of industrial wastes were successfully injected at moderate pressures into a deep limestone in the westernmost part of Florida. The movement of these wastes is expected to be predominantly southward toward the natural discharge area which is presumed to be far out...
Present and Future Water Supply for Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky
R.V. Cushman, R. A. Krieger, John A. McCabe
1965, Water Supply Paper 1475-Q
The increase in the number of visitors during the past several years at Mammoth Cave National Park has rendered the present water supply inadequate. Emergency measures were necessary during August 1962 to supplement the available supply. The Green River is the largest potential source of water supply for Mammoth Cave....
Geology and ground water of the Tualatin Valley, Oregon
D. H. Hart, R. C. Newcomb
1965, Water Supply Paper 1697
The Tualatin Valley proper consists of broad valley plains, ranging in altitude from 100 to 300 feet, and the lower mountain slopes of the drainage basin of the Tualatin River, a tributary of the Willamette River in northwestern Oregon. The valley is almost entirely farmed. Its population is increasing rapidly,...
Geology and ground-water resources of Dane County, Wisconsin
Denzel R. Cline
1965, Water Supply Paper 1779-U
The purpose of the ground-water investigation of Dane County, Wis., was to determine the occurrence, movement, quantity, quality, and availability of ground water in the unconsolidated deposits and the underlying bedrock. The relationships between ground water and surface water were studied in general in Dane County and in detail in...
Predicted hydrologic effects of pumping from the Lichterman Well Field in the Memphis Area, Tennessee
Dale J. Nyman
1965, Water Supply Paper 1819-B
The Lichterman well field is scheduled to go into operation early in 1965 to supplement the municipal water-supply system for the city of Memphis, Tenn. Although the initial rate of withdrawal from the well field will be about 8 mgd (million gallons per day), the ultimate design capacity of the...

Geology and ground-water resources of Waushara County, Wisconsin
William Kelly Summers
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-B
Abundant ground water for irrigation is available in the outwash deposits in western Waushara County, and many more large-capacity wells can be developed in these deposits without seriously lowering the water level. Pumping for irrigation temporarily lowers water levels in the vicinity of the wells but has not lowered regional...

1965, Water Supply Paper 1796
Portage County has abundant resources of generally good quality water and, although water problems exist locally, depletion or general scarcity of water is not likely in the foreseeable future. The county receives annually about 31 inches of precipitation, of which about 21 inches is lost as evaportranspiration. The average annual water...
