Water resources of the Kettle River watershed, east-central Minnesota
The topography of the Kettle River watershed is formed primarily by glacial deposits that mantle the bedrock.
The glacial deposits are generally less than 100 feet thick. Bedrock consists of several types and occasionally crops out at land surface. Topography ranges from gently rolling to steeply undulating. About 1,060 square miles is drained by the Kettle River and its tributaries, and about 510

Extent and frequency of floods on the Schuylkill River near Phoenixville and Pottstown, Pennsylvania
Knowledge of the frequency and extent of flooding is an important requirement for the design of all works of man bordering or encroaching on flood plains. The proper design of bridges, culverts, dams, highways, levees, reservoirs, sewage-disposal systems, waterworks and all structures on the flood plains of streams requires careful consideration of flood hazards. -1- By use of relations presented

A network for continuous monitoring of water quality in the Sabine River basin, Texas and Louisiana
The proposed water-quality network for the Sabine River Basin of Texas and Louisiana consists of nine monitoring stations, a central control station, a slave-central station, and a leased-line telecommunications system. This monitoring network would provide continuous transmission of water-quality data to the office of the water manager.
Level I operations at a proposed site would monitor current

Analog-model studies of the effects of recharge wells along the Houston Ship Channel on potentiometric surfaces of the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, Houston, Texas
Because of increasing concern about the continuing decline of water levels in the Houston area, an electric analog model was used to determine the effects on the potentiometric surfaces resulting from recharging water through wells along the Houston Ship Channel into the two major aquifers, the Chicot and Evangeline.The model conditions simulated for this study are too complex to be described in d

Petrography and stratigraphy of glacial drift, Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area, northeastern Minnesota
Glacial deposits in the Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area consist of four major till units and associated glaciofluvial sediments. Particle-size data and pebble, heavy-mineral, clay-mineral, and percentage-soluble content were used in addition to field description of color and texture to describe and correlate the drift units.
The lowermost till unit, basal till, occurs in only a small number of mi
