Urban growth and the water regimen
John Savini, J.C. Kammerer
1961, Water Supply Paper 1591-A
The continuing growth and concentration of population and industry in urban and suburban areas in recent decades has caused a complex merging of social, economic, and physical problems, The interrelationships of man and his use and development of the land and water resources is a particularly significant aspect of urbanization,...
Progress in the application of landform analysis in studies of semiarid erosion
Stanley Alfred Schumm, R. F. Hadley
1961, Circular 437
The analysis of topographic and hydrologic data gathered during studies of erosion in semiarid areas of Western United States show the following relation: (a) Mean annual sediment yield from small drainage basins is related to a ratio of basin relief to length; (b) mean annual runoff from small drainage basins...
Salinity and hydrology of closed lakes
Walter Basil Langbein
1961, Professional Paper 412
Lakes without outlets, called closed lakes, are exclusively features of the arid and semiarid zones where annual evaporation exceeds rainfall. The number of closed lakes increases with aridity, so there are relatively few perennial closed lakes, but "dry" lakes that rarely contain water are numerous.Closed lakes fluctuate in level to...
Effect of reforestation on streamflow in central New York
William Joseph Schneider, Gordon Roundy Ayer
1961, Water Supply Paper 1602
Hydrologic data have been collected since 1932 in central New York State to determine the effect of reforestation on streamflow. Data are available for three small partly reforested areas and for one nonreforested control area. From 35 to 58 percent of the 3 areas were reforested, mostly with species of...

Geology and occurrence of ground water at Jewel Cave National Monument, South Dakota
C.F. Dyer
1961, Water Supply Paper 1475-D
Jewel Cave National Monument occupies 2 square miles of a broad plateau of sedimentary rocks in western Custer County, S. Dak., and is at an altitude of about 5,400 feet above mean sea level. The sedimentary rocks that constitute the plateau range in age from Cambrian to Pennsylvanian. Rocks of...
Progress report on wells penetrating artesian aquifers in South Dakota
R. W. Davis, C.F. Dyer, J.E. Powell
1961, Water Supply Paper 1534
Artesian aquifers underlie most of South Dakota and large areas in adjacent States. About 15,000 wells have been completed since 1881 in these aquifers within South Dakota. Many wells that originally flowed have ceased to flow and have been abandoned, and others have been equipped with pumps. Many thousands, however,...
Water quality and hydrology in the Fort Belvoir area, Virginia, 1954-55
Charles N. Durfor
1961, Water Supply Paper 1586-A
This report summarizes the results of an investigation of water quality and hydrology in the Fort Belvoir, Va., area for the period August 1954 to September 1955. It summarizes and evaluates information about the water resources of this area that are pertinent to the choice of location and operation of...

Geologic summary of the Appalachian Basin, with reference to the subsurface disposal of radioactive waste solutions
George Willis Colton
1961, Open-File Report 62-28
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...
Short papers in the geologic and hydrologic sciences; Articles 1-146
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1961, Professional Paper 424-B
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)...

Bankfull discharge: An example of its statistical relationships
G.H. Dury
1961, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (6) 48-55
Analysis of data for the White and Wabash Rivers suggests means of determining discharge at the natural bankfull stage, despite the effects of artificial embanking and clearance of channels. Bankfull discharge, and discharge at mean annual flood, undergo an orderly downstream increase in percentage duration of flow....

Dating desert ground water
L. Thatcher, M. Rubin, Glen F. Brown
1961, Science (134) 105-106
Tritium in Arabian rainfall has followed the trend observed in North America with peaks in 1958 and the spring of 1959. These measurements will be useful for future hydrologie studies. Water from wadi gravels averages 10 yr old. Carbon-14 measurements of deep waters indicate ages of several thousand years....
Hydraulic and hydrologic aspects of flood-plain planning
S.W. Wiitala, K.R. Jetter, Alan J. Sommerville
1961, Water Supply Paper 1526
The valid incentives compelling occupation of the flood plain, up to and eve n into the stream channel, undoubtedly have contributed greatly to the development of the country. But the result has been a heritage of flood disaster, suffering, and enormous costs. Flood destruction awakened a consciousness toward reduction and...
Hydrology of the upper Cheyenne River basin: Part A. Hydrology of stock-water reservoirs in upper Cheyenne River basin; Part B. Sediment sources and drainage-basin characteristics in upper Cheyenne River basin

1961, Water Supply Paper 1531
The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect on runoff of the many stock reservoirs in the Cheyenne River basin above Angostura Dam. As a first step it was necessary to determine, within reasonable limits of accuracy, the number of reservoirs in the basin, the storage capacity, the...
