Ground water for irrigation near Lake Emily, Pope County, west-central Minnesota
Wayne A. Van Voast
1971, Water Supply Paper 1899-J
In the Lake Emily area, thickness of the glacial drift ranges from about 200 feet to more than 400 feet. Within the drift are sand and gravel aquifers, some of which can yield adequate water supplies for irrigation. Outwash, as much as 60 feet thick, lies at the surface. The...
Ground water for irrigation in the Brooten-Belgrade area, west-central Minnesota
Wayne A. Van Voast
1971, Water Supply Paper 1899-E
Water for irrigation is needed to improve crop yields from sandy soils in the Brooten-Belgrade area. Ground-water supplies of sufficient quantity and suitable quality for irrigation are available in much of the area. Quaternary glacial drift, as much as 300 feet thick, is underlain by Precambrian crystalline rocks and possibly by...

Relation of drainage problems to high ground-water levels, Coconut Grove area, Oahu, Hawaii
L.A. Swain, C.J. Huxel Jr.
1971, Open-File Report 72-365
Purpose and Scope In 1969, hydrologic data-collection sites were established in and around the Coconut Grove area for the purpose of measuring directly the relationship between rainfall, runoff, ground-water levels, the level of water in Kawainui Swamp and the canals, and tidal fluctuations. The primary objective was to identify the causes...
Ground-water reconnaissance of selected sites in Rocky Mountain National Park and Shadow Mountain National Recreation area, Colorado
F.A. Welder
1971, Open-File Report 71-320
An evaluation of the ground-water supply potential at 30 sites within the Rocky Mountain National Park and Shadow Mountain National Recreation Area was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1967 and 1968. The work consisted of a geohydrologic reconnaissance, well inventory, and test drilling. The study sites are underlain...

Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells - A selective annotated bibliography
Donald Robert Rima, Edith B. Chase, Beverly M. Myers
1971, Water Supply Paper 2020
Subsurface waste disposal by means of wells is the practice of using drilled wells to inject unwanted substances into underground rock formations. The use of wells for this purpose is not a new idea. As long ago as the end of the last century, it was common practice to drill...

Effects of Grazing on the Hydrology and Biology of the Badger Wash Basin in Western Colorado, 1953-66
Gregg C. Lusby, O.D. Knipe
1971, Water Supply Paper 1532-D
An intensive study of the effect of grazing on the hydrologic and biotic characteristics of small drainage basins on the Colorado Plateau was begun in the fall of 1953. This report presents data obtained during the first 13 years of the proposed 20-year study. For the period of record 1954-66,...
