David M. Hopkins
1959, GSA Bulletin (70) 1033-1046
A study of Imuruk Lake, a large, shallow lake in north-central Seward Peninsula, Alaska, illuminates the climatic history of northwestern Alaska and the tectonic history of central Seward Peninsula during Pleistocene and Recent time. Special interest attaches to the older lake sediments, because they contain evidence concerning the climate, fauna, and...

Ground-water resources of Riverton irrigation project area, Wyoming, with a section on chemical quality of ground water
Donald Arthur Morris, O. M. Hackett, K.E. Vanlier, E. A. Moulder, W. H. Durum
1959, Water Supply Paper 1375
The Riverton irrigation project area is in the northwestern part of the Wind River basin in west-central Wyoming. Because the annual precipitation is only about 9 inches, agriculture, which is the principal occupation in the area, is dependent upon irrigation. Irrigation by surface-water diversion was begum is 1906; water is...

1958, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Special Report 13
The purpose of this report is to appraise and evaluate the groundwater resources of a tri-state region adjacent to the lower Delaware River that is centered around Philadelphia, Pa., and Camden, N. J., and includes Wilmington, Del., and Trenton, N.J. Specifically, the region includes New Castle County, Del.; Burlington, Camden,...
Records of springs in the Snake River valley, Jerome and Gooding Counties, Idaho, 1899-1947
Raymond L. Nace, Arthur Van’t Hul, I.S. McQueen
1958, Water Supply Paper 1463
Many springs and seeps discharge water from the north wall of the valley of the Snake River between Milner and Bliss, Idaho. These are fed by a large ground-water body lying east and north of the river, beneath the Snake River Plain. Much ground water is pumped on the plain, many irrigation wells...

1958, Open-File Report 58-60
Soon after the 1951 floods on the Kansas and lower Missouri Rivers, President Truman submitted to Congress (82d Cong., 1st sess., 1951) a proposal for a national flood insurance fund. Although the proposal was not acted upon by the 82d Congree, there was considerable discussion of it in the press...
History of natural flows--Kansas River
Elwood R. Leeson
1958, Open-File Report 58-62
Through its Water Resources Division, the United States Geological Survey has become the major water-resources historian for the nation. The Geological Survey's collection of streamflow records in Kansas began on a very small scale in 1895 in response to some early irrigation interest, Since that time the program has grown,...

1958, Open-File Report 58-109
The valid incentives compelling occupation of the flood plain, up to and even 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 elimination of...

The solusphere - its inferences and study
F. H. Rainwater, W. F. White
1958, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (14) 244-249
Water is a fundamental geologic agent active in rock decomposition, erosion, and synthesis. Solutes in water are of particular interest to geochemists as sources of raw material for synthesis or as products of decomposition. When geochemical studies move from the laboratory into natural environment many variables relating to solute hydrology...
The relation of phosphorites to ground water in Beaufort County, North Carolina
P.M. Brown
1958, Economic Geology (53) 85-101
Recent ground-water studies undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Carolina Division of Mineral Resources have delineated phosphorite deposits, tentatively regarded as being of middle Miocene age, in Beaufort County. These deposits lie unconforma-bly on limestone of Eocene age and are unconformably overlain by late Miocene...

Application of statistical methods to the analysis of ground‐water levels
Irwin Remson, J.R. Randolph
1958, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (39) 75-83
Valuable hydrologic information can be obtained from statistical analysis of water‐level trends. The time‐series and the functional‐equation approaches are applied to New Jersey well records representing different hydrologic conditions. The results are valuable as concise summaries of the records, for extrapolating observed data, for interpolating between measurements, and for estimating...
Limestone aquifers of Maryland
Edmond G. Otton, Claire A. Richardson
1958, Economic Geology (53) 722-736
Limestone rocks are an important source of ground water in the Piedmont and Appalachian areas of Maryland. The major limestone aquifers are the Cockeysville and Wakefield marbles and the Silver Run, Tomstown, Frederick, Grove, Waynesboro, Elbrook, Conococheague, Beekmantown, Stones River, Tonoloway, Helderberg and Greenbrier formations. Drilled and dug wells and...
