Drainage area data for Alabama streams
J.S. Stallings, L.B. Peirce
1957, Open-File Report 57-106
The drainage area of a river basin is an important parameter in many engineering equations used for hydrologic design. It is not a parameter, however, that always requires precise measurement. Factors in the hydrologic cycle such as rainfall, runoff, transpiration, and infiltration cannot be measured nearly as closely as drainage...
Ground-water possibilities south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho
E. G. Crosthwaite
1957, Water Supply Paper 1460-C
The Snake River Plain and tributary valleys south of the Snake River between Twin Falls and Pocatello, Idaho (here called the South Side area), contain about 180,000 acres of irrigated land, of which 145,000 acres is irrigated with surface water and 35,000 is irrigated wholly or partly with ground water. The area also contains...
Preliminary survey of the saline-water resources of the United States
Robert A. Krieger, J.L. Hatchett, J. L. Poole
1957, Water Supply Paper 1374
Basic hydrologic data available in the field offices of the U. S. Geological Survey and reports issued by the Survey furnish evidence that saline water (defined in this report as water containing more than 1,000 parts per million of dissolved solids) is available under diverse geologic and hydrologic conditions throughout...
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...
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...
Sedimentation and chemical quality of surface waters in the Wind River basin, Wyoming
B. R. Colby, C. H. Hembree, F. H. Rainwater
1956, Water Supply Paper 1373
This report gives results of an investigation by the U. S. Geological Survey of chemical quality of surface waters and sedimentation in the Wind River Basin, Wyo. The sedimentation study was begun in 1946 to determine the quantity of sediment that is transported by the streams in the basin; the...
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...
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....
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...
