Controlled induced recharge tests at Kalamazoo, Mich
Morris Deutsch
1962, Journal - American Water Works Association (54) 181-196
This article discusses the results of a controlled field testing program, which indicated that definite hydraulic and other advantages may be gained from induced recharging as practiced at Kalamazoo, Michigan. Results include the following: water levels and artesian pressures can be maintained at high stages, the results are lower pumping...
Statistical properties of tree ring data
N.C. Matalas
1962, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (7) 39-47
A statistical analysis is made of the sequences of annual tree ring widths and indices. The expected value of growth during any year is shown to be proportional to the standard deviation of the growth, so that the coefficient of variation is a measure of the sensitivity of the growth of a <span...
The distribution of tritium fallout in precipitation over North America
L. L. Thatcher
1962, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (7) 48-58
In 1958 the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Weather Bureau jointly conducted a study of tritium fallout distribution over the continental United States, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. The observation period extended from early April to late July in most areas. While this was insufficient to cover the decay side of the...
Progress report on an international decade for hydrology
W. B. Langbein
1962, Article
As reported in the Transactions of March 1961 (p. 96), the ad hoc Panel on Hydrology convened to report on ways of stimulating research in scientific hydrology, recommended a program of international cooperation in hydrology—more specifically a plan for an ‘International Decade for Hydrology,’ as drawn for the Panel by R. L. Nace....
The Vigil Network
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (7) 5-9
Those of us who seek to explain the variations in hydrologic phenomena such as may be observed in the occurrence of floods or in changes in the shape of river channels are painfully aware of the lack of adequate data. Our existing data, collected mainly to serve immediate practical needs...

Geology and ground-water resources of Sumner County, Kansas
K.L. Walters
1961, Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin (151)
This report describes the geography, geology, and ground-water resources of Sumner County in south-central Kansas. The hydrologic and geologic data upon which this report is based were obtained in the field during the summers of 1955 and 1956. Records of 300 wells and 2 springs, chemical analyses of 219 water...
Geologic summary of the Appalachian basin, with reference to the subsurface disposal of radioactive waste solutions
George Willis Colton
1961, Trace Elements Investigations 791
The Appalachian basin is an elongate depression in the crystalline basement complex which contains a great volume of predominantly sedimentary stratified rocks. As defined in this paper it extends from the Adirondack Mountains in New York to central Alabama. From east to west it extends from the west flank of...

The scientific and economic results of work by the United States Geological Survey during the fiscal year 1961, the 12 months ending June 30, 1961, will be summarized in four volumes of which this is the first. This volume includes 146 short papers on a variety of subjects in the...
Synopsis of geologic and hydrologic results: Chapter A in Geological Survey research 1961
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1961, Professional Paper 424-A
The Geological Survey is engaged in many different kinds of investigations in the fields of geology and hydrology. These investigations may be grouped into several broad, inter-related categories as follows:(a) Economic geology, including engineering geology(b) Regional geologic mapping, including detailed mapping and stratigraphic studies(c) Resource and topical studies(d) Ground-water studies(e)...

Ground water in the alluvial deposits of the Canadian River valley near Norman, Oklahoma
Bill L. Stacy
1961, Open-File Report 61-177
Unconsolidated water-bearing alluvial deposits border the Canadian River in the vicinity of Norman, Oklahoma. These Quaternary materials are divided on the basis of topgraphic position into 'high terrace deposits' and 'alluvium.' The high terrace lies at an elevation of 50 to 60 feet above the alluvium, which in turn lies...

Geology of the Moses Lake North quadrangle, Washington
Maurice J. Grolier, Bruce L. Foxworthy
1961, IMAP 330
The geology of the Moses Lake North quadrangle was mapped in 1954 and 1958 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Some of the basic hydrologic data has been collected by the Geological Survey during the early investigations of ground-water conditions in the Quincy Basin (Henshaw, written communication, 1917; Schwennesen and Meinzer,...
