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

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

Surface water supply of the San Joaquin River Basin, California, 1895-1927
The measurement of the flow of the streams in California was begun by the State engineer in 1878, in accordance with the law requiring him "to investigate the problems of the irrigation of the plains; the condition and capacity of the great drainage lines of the State, and the improvement of the navigation of rivers." The work was restricted to a few localities in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Ri

Suspended matter in the Colorado River in 1925-1928
Determinations of the quantity of solid material carried by the Colorado River are necessary for the proper consideration of plans for the development of the resources of the river. Much of the material carried by the river will be deposited in the proposed reservoirs and eventually will occupy a large part of the capacity of the reservoirs, so that their effectiveness for flood control or river r

Quality of water of the Colorado River in 1926-1928
This report gives the results obtained in the continuation of a study of the Colorado River begun in 1925.1 Most of the analyses here given represent composites of daily samples collected by the observers at the gaging stations on the Colorado River at Grand Canyon, Topock, and Yuma, Ariz. The other samples analyzed were taken at Lees Ferry and on tributaries of the Colorado. These stations are op
