Tritium distribution in ground water around large underground fusion explosions
F.W. Stead
1963, Science (142) 1163-1165
Tritium will be released in significant amounts from large underground nuclear fusion explosions in the Plowshare Program. The tritium could become highly concentrated in nearby ground waters, and could be of equal or more importance as a possible contaminant than other long-lived fission-product and induced radionuclides. Behavior of tritiated water...
Recharge rates of principal aquifers in Lake County, Indiana
J.S. Rosenshein
1963, Groundwater (1) 13-20
The upper 350 to 400 feet of rocks underlying Lake County, Indiana, form a single but complex hydrologic system. The rock units composing this system consist (in ascending order) of dolomite, clay till (unit 4), glaciofluvial sand (unit 3), clay till (unit 2), and lacustrine sand, silt, and clay (unit...
The hydraulic geometry of a shallow estuary
W. B. Langbein
1963, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (8) 84-94
An analogy with entropy production in steady-state systems leads to a statement that the geometry of natural waterways is governed by two opposing influences: a) equal work per unit of area of bed, and b) minimum work done in the system as a whole. The resulting calculations applied to shallow, estuaries are verified...
Preliminary results of a study of calcium carbonate saturation of ground water in central Florida
William Back
1963, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (8) 43-51
The departure of ground water from equilibrium with calcite is being studied in central Florida. Measurements of pH, temperature, and concentration of bicarbonate made in the field are used with standard laboratory analyses of water samples to calculate an ion activity product (K) for calcium carbonate. The calculated Kiap is compared with the...
Hydrologic bench marks to distinguish the effects of climate vs. man
H.D. Wilson Jr.
1963, Groundwater (1) 13-14
There is a vital need for hydrologic data representing various environments that are free from the effects of man's activities. Without such data hydrologists will be stymied in distinguishing hydrologic changes caused by man from those caused by climate. To provide this background information, the U. S. Geological Survey is planning a nationwide hydrologic <span...
Some aspects of chemical equilibrium in ground water
J.D. Hem
1963, Groundwater (1) 30-34
The influence of individual factors such as geologic and hydrologic characteristics of environment, biologic activity in soil, and pollutants on ground‐water composition is discussed. Aspects of chemical equilibria in ground water, sorption reactions, carbonate equilibria, chemistry of iron, and factors altering equilibria are presented....
Applications of geohydrologic concepts in geology
G. B. Maxey, J. E. Hackett
1963, Journal of Hydrology (1) 35-45
Subsurface water, an active agent in many geologic proceses, must be considered in interpreting geologic phenomena. Principles of the occurrence, distribution, and movement of subsurface waters are well established and readily applicable. In many interpretations in geologic literature, geohydrologic principles have been employed realistically, but in many others these principles...
Implications of the minor element content of some major streams of the world
W. H. Durum, J. Haffty
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 1-11
Of 15 or more minor elements in the world's principal river waters only aluminum, iron, manganese, barium and strontium range much over 100 μgl">100 μgl. (parts per billion). Most minor elements range at or below 100 μg1">100 μg1. and have...

Hydrology of upper Black Earth Creek basin, Wisconsin, with a section on surface water
Denzel R. Cline, Mark W. Busby
1963, Water Supply Paper 1669-C
The upper Black Earth Creek drainage basin has an area of 46 square miles and is in Dane County in south-central Wisconsin. The oldest rock exposed in the valley walls is the sandstone of Late Cambrian age. Dolomite of the Prairie du Chien Group of Ordovician age overlies the sandstone...
Data on wells in the Edwards Air Force Base area, California
L.C. Dutcher, J. S. Bader, W.J. Hiltgen
1962, Bulletin 91-6
The data presented In this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey as a phase of the investigation of ground-water geology and hydrology of the Edwards Air Force Base area. The study was made in cooperation with the Department of the Air Force but also was coincident with the...
