Ground-water geology of the Bruneau–Grand View area, Owyhee County, Idaho
Robert Thomas Littleton, E. G. Crosthwaite
1957, Water Supply Paper 1460-D
The Bruneau-Grand View area is part of an artesian basin in northern Owyhee County, Idaho. The area described in this report comprises about 600 square miles, largely of undeveloped public domain, much of which is open, or may be opened, for desert-entry filing. Many irrigation-entry applications to the Federal Government...

Progress report of hydrology and sedimentation in Bixler Run, Corey Creek, and Elk Run watersheds, Pennsylvania
J.K. Culbertson
1957, Open-File Report 57-30
This report describes the results of an investigation in progress and presents some tentative findings from a study of hydrology and sedimentation of three small watersheds where soil conservation practices are being applied. The study was begun in April 1954, to determine precipitation, runoff, probable sources and yields of sediment,...

Drainage areas of Iowa streams
O.J. Larimer
1957, Iowa Highway Research Board Bulletin 7
The drainage area of a stream at a specified location ordinarily may be defined as that area, measured in a horizontal plane, which is enclosed by a topographic divide such that direct surface runoff from precipitation would drain by gravity into the river basin above the specified point. One of the...
Modified determination of radium in water
F. B. Barker, L. L. Thatcher
1957, Analytical Chemistry (29) 1573-1575
The proposed method embodies a barium sulfate carrier precipitation, filtration through molecular filter membranes, and collection of activity after prescribed aging period. The method is sufficiently accurate and precise to indicate the potability of water and for use in general studies of radium in chemical hydrology. Amounts of radium as...

Preliminary report on waterpower possibilities of Bradley Lake, Alaska, with a chapter on tentative geologic conclusions on Bradley Lake power site
Fred A. Johnson, Kenneth S. Soward
1956, Open-File Report 56-62
The purpose of this report is to give a preliminary estimate of the power possibilities of Bradley Lake, Alaska, and to describe outstanding hydrologic, geologic and topographic features that might determine the character of development. Bradley Lake lies in the Kenai Mountains near the southwestern end of the Kenai Peninsula....

Reservoirs in the United States
N.O. Thomas, G. Earl Harbeck Jr.
1956, Water Supply Paper 1360-A
Reservoir storage facilities in the United States play an important part in the national economy. Storage facilities have enabled the country to utilize to a much fuller extent one of the most valuable natural resources: water. During recent years the construction of reservoirs has continued at a high rate. This...
Water resources of southwestern Louisiana
Paul H. Jones, E. L. Hendricks, Burdge Irelan, and others
1956, Water Supply Paper 1364
In southwestern Louisiana large quantities of fresh water are available for agricultural, municipal, domestic, and industrial purposes. However, local and regional problems resulting from salt-water encroachment in the streams and persistent declines of the groundwater levels in certain areas during . drought periods have caused some concern regarding the future...
Hydrology of Indiana lakes
Joseph Irving Perrey, Don Melvin Corbett
1956, Water Supply Paper 1363
Indiana's lakes are a valuable resource for both recreational use and their industrial potential. Some lakes are used for water supply. The natural lakes are glacial in origin and are most concentrated in northeastern Indiana. Many of the lakes were drained by the early settlers. The natural processes of sedimentation ad...
Saline-water resources of Texas
Allen George Winslow, Lester Ray Kister
1956, Water Supply Paper 1365
Large quantities of saline water are available in the world, both on the surface and underground; however, these waters have not been studied extensively as sources of potable water. Saline water is defined herein as water containing more than 1,000 parts per million of dissolved solids, or, with certain mineralized irrigation...
Sedimentation and chemical quality of surface waters in the Wind River basin, Wyoming

Discussion of “Some factors affecting rates of sedimentation in the Columbia River basin”
H.E. Thomas, E.M. Flaxman, R.L. Hobba
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 110-112
hydrologists are generally aware of the number and complexity of the variables that are encountered in all aspects of hydrology, and the great difficulty of analyzing these factors quantitatively because of inadequacy of basic data. Because of limitations in funds, time, or scientific manpower, it is likely that the basic...
