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...
Effects of phosphate mining on the ground water of Anguar, Palau Islands, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands
Ted Arnow
1961, Water Supply Paper 1608-A
Mining of phosphate ore on Angaur Island by mechanized methods created large water-table lakes, which became filled with brackish or saline water. A hydrologic investigation was started in 1949 to determine whether the saline water in the lakes would spread to surrounding areas and cause damage to agricultural lands and...

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...

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,...
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...

Water resources of the Raft River basin, Idaho-Utah
Raymond L. Nace
1961, Water Supply Paper 1587
Much arable land in the Raft River basin of Idaho lacks water for irrigation, and the potentially irrigable acreage far exceeds the amount that could be irrigated with the estimated total supply of water. Therefore, the amount of uncommitted water that could be intercepted and used within the basin is...
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...

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....

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...

R. C. Culler, R. F. Hadley, S. A. Schumm
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...
