Chemical quality of public water supplies of the United States and Puerto Rico, 1962
Municipal water systems in the United States and Puerto Rico supply water for many commercial and industrial uses as well as for domestic wells. It is generally known that our water resources are unequally distributed throughout the country, but it is not quite so well understood that the quality of our water resources is also variable. This hydrologic investigations atlas shows, State by State, s

Flow characteristics of Wisconsin streams: Flow-duration, Hhgh-flow, and low-flow tables for selected streams through water-year 1960
The collection of data on the flow of rivers in Wisconsin started on a continuing basis in 1913. A few streamflow records were started in the late 1800's, one as early as 1888 (Chippewa River at Chippewa Falls). Much of the work has been done under cooperative arrangements between the U.S. Geological Survey and various State and Federal agencies. These data have been published in the form of daily

Hydrology and hydrogeology of Navajo Lake, Kane County, Utah
Navajo Lake, whose entire outflow disappears underground, is on the high Markagurit Plateau where the average annual precipitation is more than 30 inches. It nestles among the headwaters of several streams that flow into arid regions where competition for municipal, industrial, and irrigation water sup- plies is very keen. Several proposals for additional development and use of the water of Navajo

Water resources of the English River, Old Mans Creek, and Clear Creek basins in Iowa
The surface and ground water resources of a 991 square mile area comprising the drainage basins of English River, Old Mans Creek and Clear Creek are presented. These basins lie to the west and southwest of Iowa City, Iowa, and all three streams are tributary to the Iowa River. The area is comprised of rolling uplands with relatively broad valleys and is devoted mainly to agriculture and livestock
