This circular lists and describes water-supply papers, circulars, and manuscript reports 

prepared by the u. s. Geological Survey, dealing with water power, floods, and droughts. It 

brings up to date the mimeographed "Preliminary list of reports on water-power resources," 

prepared by B. E. Jones (1940). 

Whether the diversion works of a water-power plan provide storage, development of head 

by raising the water level with a dam, or simply turn the water into a conduit, they must be 

capable of withstanding the flood flows to which they will be subjected. Floods must be 

controlled and passed without damage to the structures with a minimum of loss of generating 

capacity. Multiple-purpose developments often need to reserve considerable storage capacity 

for flood prevention. Likewise, information on the occurrence, severity, and duration of 

periods of drought are important to a thorough investigation of the water-power possibilities 

of a stream and the requirements for providing storage to minimize loss of capacity because 

of such dry periods. Reports in these two categories, therefore, are included in this listing, the primary purpose of which is to catalog and describe reports dealing specifically, or principally, with water-power potentialities. 

All the reports referred to in the 1940 listing are included in this bibliography. 

Related reports, water-supply papers and circulars prepared since that date, and some which 

were omitted from the 1940 list, have been added.

WATER-SUPPLY PAPERS 

An asterisk (*) indicates that the paper is out of print. 

The term "water-supply paper," as here used, refe;rs to published reports of the Geological 

Survey that relate to water resources. The papers are numbered consecutively according to date 

of publication. 

Included in this list are reports dealing principally with water power, floods, or droughts. 

Some early water-supply papers consist only of maps of rivers and are not listed here but are 

included in Water-Supply Paper 995, "Index to river surveys made by the United States Geological 

Survey and other agencies, revised to July 1, 194 7." This latter paper is a revised edit ion of 

Water-Supply Paper 558. 

These papers can be consulted at repository libraries and at most public libraries. The 

more recently published ones can be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government 

Printing Office, Washington 25, D. c., at the prices indicated.
