This paper summarizes the results of a detailed investigation by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas State Geological Survey, Kansas State Board of Health, and the City of Wichita. The geology of the area has been remapped, and several new formations have been established, including the Emma Creek formation of middle and upper Pliocene age, and a thick loess deposit. The hyd

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

Artesian-water levels and interference between artesian wells in the vicinity of Lehi, Utah
In the vicinity of Lehi, Utah, about 25 miles south of Salt Lake City, supplies of artesian water are obtained at depths of 75 to 750 feet from beds of sand and gravel of Pleistocene age. Individual beds are probably lenticular and irregular in shape, as is characteristic of the stream and lake deposits in many parts of the Lake Bonneville Basin. The artesian supplies are obtained from aquifers or

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
