Water resources of the Lake Erie shore region in Pennsylvania
An abundant supply of water is available to the Lake Erie Shore region in Pennsylvania. Lake i£rie furnishes an almost inexhaustible supply of water of satisfactory chemical quality. Small quantities of water are available from small streams in the area and from the ground. A satisfactory water supply is one of the factors that affect the economic growth of a region. Cities and towns must have ade

Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Green River in Utah and Colorado
The Green River, rising in Wyoming and draining high mountains in that state, northeast Utah and northwest Colorado, is a major tributary of the Colorado River. In the late summer, after the snow has melted from these mountains, the flow in the Green River reaches its minimum for the year. At that time a large proportion of the water in the river is returned to the atmosphere by evaporation and tr

Geology and ground-water resources of Comal County, Texas
The purpose of this report on the geology and ground-water resources of Comal County in central Texas is to determine the sources of the waters that supply Comal Springs, the largest springs in the Southwest, and other springs and wells. Comal County has an area of about 559 square miles and in 1950 had a population of 16,325. Comal Springs discharge within the city limits of New Braunfels, the co

Floods of July 18, 1942 in north-central Pennsylvania
The floods of July 1942 in north-central Pennsylvania and adjacent areas in New York were record-breaking on most of the smaller streams. They followed unprecedented rains that amounted to as much as 35 inches at some points during a storm that for the most part lasted less than 12 hours at any point. In the area of heavy rainfall, peak flood discharges were much greater than for the floods of Mar

Floods of 1950 in the Red River of the North and Winnipeg River basins
The floods of April-July 1950 in the Red River of the North and Winnipeg River Basins were the largest that have occurred in several decades and caused the greatest damage that the flooded area has ever sustained. Five lives were lost in the United States, owing to causes directly connected with the floods. The dual peaks--on upper river and tributaries, one in April and the other in May--of nearl

Origin of the Mima Mounds, Thurston County region, Washington
There has been recent favorable consideration of the idea that the Mima mounds were made by gophers. The writer believes the evidence indicates that gophers function only in the reworking of the mound material, not in the primary construction. The plausibility of the earlier glacial or periglacial theory has been increased by recent knowledge of permafrost and of the deposits made by combined wate
