Water in the Dakota and Purgatoire Formations in Otero County and the southern part of Crowley County, Colorado
William G. Weist
1963, Water Supply Paper 1669-P
The hardness of available shallow ground water in Otero County and in the southern part of Crowley County generally exceeds 1,000 parts per million, and the water requires treatment for most uses. To obtain a supply of softer water, wells have been drilled into the Dakota Sandstone and the Cheyenne...
Hydrologic and geologic reconnaissance of Pinto Basin, Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside County, California
Fred Kunkel
1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-O
Pinto basin, in the north-central part of Riverside County, Calif., is a typical desert valley formed by downfaulting along several major fault zones. The valley is filled with alluvium, and ground water in the alluvium discharges as subsurface outflow through an alluvium-filled gap at the east end of the valley....

Geology and occurrence of ground water in Lyon County, Minnesota
Harry G. Rodis
1963, Water Supply Paper 1619-N
Lyon County is in southwestern Minnesota, mostly within the drainage basin of the Minnesota River. The basement rocks in the area consist largely of Precambrian granite and quartzite. These are overlain locally by flat-lying Upper Cretaceous strata composed of thick sections of soft dark-bluish-gray shale and some thin beds of...

Geology and ground-water conditions in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, N.Y.
N. M. Perlmutter, J. J. Geraghty
1963, Water Supply Paper 1613-A
Test drilling, electrical logging, and water sampling of 'outpost' and other wells have revealed the existence of a deep confined body of salt water in the Magothy(?) formation beneath southwestern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, N.Y. In connection with a test-drilling program, cooperatively sponsored by the U.S. Geological...
Ground-water resources of the Bryce Canyon National Park area, Utah, with a section on the drilling of a test well
I. Wendell Marine
1963, Water Supply Paper 1475-M
The water need at Bryce Canyon National Park in 1957 was about 1.3 million cubic feet for a tourist season that lasted from the middle of May to the middle of October. To evaluate the adequacy of water-supply sources, a hypothetical future need of 5 million cubic feet of water...
Methods of collecting and interpreting ground-water data
1963, Water Supply Paper 1544-H
Because ground water is hidden from view, ancient man could only theorize as to its sources of replenishment and its behavior. His theories held sway until the latter part of the 17th century, which marked the first experimental work to determine the source and movement of ground water. Thus founded,...
The role of ground water in the national water situation: With state summaries based on reports by District Offices of Ground Water Branch
Charles Lee McGuinness
1963, Water Supply Paper 1800
Ground water in the United States has emerged from a quantitatively minor (though incalculably valuable) water source, whose chief role was in the settlement of primitive areas, to a major source now accounting for one-fifth to one-sixth of the Nation's total withdrawal requirements for water. With the growth in ground-water...

A.O. Westfall, T. Ray Cummings
1963, Open-File Report 63-148
This report summarizes basic hydrologic data of the surface water resources of Muddy Boggy River basin, and by analysis and interpretation, presents certain streamflow characteristics at specified points in the basin. Muddy Boggy River has a drainage area of 2,429 square miles. The climate is moist subhumid and the annual precipitation...
Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1956-1960
D.L. Hart Jr.
1963, Open-File Report 63-150
The investigation of the ground-water resources of Oklahoma by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board includes a continuing program to collect on a systematic basis records of water levels in selected observation wells. These water-level records: (1) provide an index to available ground-water supplies;...

Geology, hydrology, and water supply of Edwards Air Force Base, Kern County, California
Lee Carlton Dutcher, G.F. Warts Jr.
1963, Open-File Report 63-146
Edwards Air Force Base occupies the northern part of Antelope Valley, California. As a result of large-scale and increasing agricultural pumping in the valley, the net draft has exceeded the perennial supply since about 1930 and was about 170,000 acre-feet in 1951--at least three times the estimated yield. As a...
Effects of drought in basins of interior drainage: Chapter E in Drought in the Southwest, 1942-56
H. E. Thomas
1963, Professional Paper 372-E
The effects of the recent drought 1942-56 have varied widely in the Southwestern basins of interior drainage which include, in addition to the Great Basin of Nevada, Utah, and California many smaller basins in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. These closed basins are characteristically separate hydrologic units, and their water...
