Summary of records of surface waters at base stations in Colorado River Basin, 1891-1938
Collection by the Geological Survey of records of stream flow in the Colorado River Basin was begun in August 1889, when three gaging stations were established in Arizona, on' the Gila, Salt, and Verde Rivers. In 1894-95 the work was extended to include 15 gaging stations, on tributary streams at points in the basin where irrigation development was most intensive, and by 1910 the number had increa

Maximum discharges at stream-measurement stations through December 31, 1937, with a supplement including additions and changes through September 30, 1938
This report is a compilation of the highest known discharges at most gaging stations in the United States and at several places on boundary streams in Canada and Mexico. In the design and operation of a variety of engineering works on rivers, such as dams, spillways, bridges, dikes, and floodways, it is important to know the flood flows for which provision should be made. This report makes availab

Geology and ground-water hydrology of the Mokelumne area, California
The Mokelumne River basin of central California comprises portions of the
California Trough and the Sierra Nevada section of the Pacific Mountain system.
The California Trough is divisible into four subsections-the Delta tidal plain,
the Victor alluvial plain, tlie river flood plains and channels, and the Arroyo Seco
dissected pediment. These four subsections comprise the land forms produced

Thermal springs in the United States
The earliest extensive studies of thermal springs in the United States were made by physicians. In 1831 Dr. John Bell issued a book entitled "Baths and Mineral Waters" in which he listed 21 spring localities. In the edition of his work published in 1855 the number was increased to 181. The earliest report on a geologic study of thermal springs was that of W. B, Rogers in 1840 on the thermal spring
