This report outlines methods by which the magnitude and frequency of expected floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years can be determined at most points in the Colorado River basin.
Composite frequency curves were drawn showing the relation of the mean annual flood to floods having recurrence intervals from 1.1 to 50 years. Other curves express the relation of the mean annual flood to basin characteristics. In the northern part of the basin (north of about lat 37° N.) both drainage area and mean altitude were important factors influencing the magnitude of the mean annual flood. Only drainage area was used as an independent variable in the southern part of the basin.
By combining data from the composite frequency curves and curves showing the relation of the mean annual flood to basin characteristics, flood-frequency curves can be drawn for streams in the report area not materially affected by regulation or diversion within the range and recurrence interval defined by base data.
Some of the larger streams in the basin do not lend themselves to regional analysis. These streams are given special treatment in this report. Owing to the paucity of streamflow data, flood-frequency relations are not defined in some of the more arid parts of the report area.

About 100 square miles of alluvial-fan deposits in western Fresno County, California, have been affected by manmade near-surface subsidence within the past few decades. Subsidence of 3-5 feet is common and 10-15 feet of subsidence has occurred within small areas. Oren cracks form between areas undergoing different amounts of settlement, and are a characteristic feature of compaction due to wetting. Differential settlement occurring within short distances has destroyed or damaged ditches, canals, roads, pipelines, electric-transmission towers, and buildings, and has made the irrigation of crops difficult. The areas of known near-surface subsidence along the alinement of the San Luis Canal-California Aqueduct were compacted by ponding before construction of the canal.
The 11 miles of canal alinement that cross the fan of Panoche Creek were not ponded before construction. ,Although a few reports of local residents to the California Department of Water Resources indicated that some very small areas of settlement had occurred after irrigation, it was generally considered that the fan would not be susceptible to widespread near-surface subsidence. The irrigated fields did not show the pronounced hummocky relief and subsidence hollows that were typical of the areas of known near-surface subsidence. Nit as strong was the evidence from core holes that showed that the deposits, even in areas that had never been irrigated, were roughly at field capacity instead of being moisture deficient. This seemed logical because Panoche Creek had been observed to flow for 1-5 months during years of heavy rainfall, in contrast to the ephemeral flow of streams on the Moreno Gulch fan to the northwest and on the Tumey Gulch fan to the south. It was assumed that if similar flows had occurred in the past, the deposits would have been wetted thoroughly from the land surface to the water table with each major period of flow and deposition.

Chloride analysis of water extracted by these methods, chloride analyses of water from wells, and the interpretation of electric logs helped to define the chloride content of the salty water. New concepts of environmental-water head and zerovels, developed during the investigation, proved useful for defining hydraulic gradients and ratee of flow in ground water of variable density in a vertical direction and in horizontal and inclined planes, respectively. Hydraulic gradients in and between fresh and salty water were determined from water levels from data at individual and multiple-observation wells. \r\n\r\nSalty ground water occurs in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties as three wedgelike extensions that project landward in unconsolidated deposits from a main body of salty water that lies seaward of the barrier beaches in Nassau County and of Jamaica Bay in Queens County. Salty water occurs not only in permeable deposits but also in the shallow and deep clay deposits. The highest chloride content of the salty ground water in the main body and the wedges is about 16,000 ppm, which is about 1,000 to 2,000 ppm less than the chloride content of ocean water. \r\n\r\nThe shallow salty water in the Pleistocene and Recent deposits is connected freely with the bays, tidal estuaries, and ocean. The intermediate wedge is found only in the southwestern part of Nassau County in the upper part of the Magothy (?) Formation, in the Jamneco Gravel, and in the overlying clay deposits. It extends from the seaward areas inland about 2 miles into Island Park. The deep wedge extends into southeastern Queens County and southern Nassau County principally in the deeper parts of the Magothy (?) Formation and in the underlying clay member of the Raritan Formation. The leading edge of the deep wedge is at the base of the Magothy (?) Formation. This edge is apparently at the shoreline east of Lido Beach and extends inland about 4 miles to Woodmere and about 7 miles to South Ozone Park. Zones of diffusion as much as 6 miles wide and about 500 feet thick were delineated in the frontal part of the salty-water wedges. These thick and broad zones of diffusion were probably formed during the past 1,000 or more years in heterogeneous unconsolidated deposits by long- and short-term changes in sea level and in fresh-water outflow to the sea and by dispersion caused by the movements of the water and its salt mass. Changes in sea level and fresh-water outflow together produced appreciable advances and recessions of the salt-water front. The chemical compositions of the diffused water in all wedges are modified to some extent by base exchange and other physical and chemical processes and also by diffusion. \r\n\r\nThe intermediate wedge of salty water is moving landward at a rate of less than 20 feet a year in the vicinity of Island Park and, thus, has moved less than 1,000 feet since 1900. The leading edge of the deep wedge has advanced landward at about 300 feet a :ear in Woodmere in southwestern Nassau County and about 160 feet a year at South Ozone Park in southeastern Queens County, principally under the influence of local withdrawals near the toe of the wedge. Between Hewlett and Lido Beach, the deep wedge is moving inland at the rate of about 10 feet a year under the influence of regional withdrawals in inland areas.

Rain occurred on most days during the period November 13-26 and December 28-31, with major amounts distributed in three periods: November 13-19, 21-26, and December 28-31. More than 12 inches of precipitation was reported at Mount Baldy and Big Bear Lake on November 23, 1965; and more than 15 inches was reported at Mount Baldy on December 29, 1965.
Peak discharges at streamflow stations were generally the highest since 1943. The Los Angeles River at Sepulveda Dam and the Santa Clara River at the Los Angeles-Ventura County line had peak discharges greater than those of March 1938, the highest previously known.
Eleven deaths were attributed to the storm and the resulting floods, and preliminary estimates indicate damage in excess of $11 million in the foothill and valley areas. Flood-control, water-conservation, and power-production reservoirs effected a substantial reduction in the magnitude of the floods in many areas and thus prevented more extensive damage.

The hydrologic inventory presents gains or accretions to the water supply, as inflow, equated with loss by water demands, as outflow. The difference is the ground-water storage change. Items of inflow include precipitation, surface and subsurface inflow, irrigation return, and sewage effluent. Items of outflow include surface and subsurface outflow, evapotranspiration, and water pumped for irrigation and other uses. \r\n\r\nGround-water storage changes occurred as depletions of the shallow water body beneath the eastern and central parts of the Lompoc plain and beneath the upland part of the Lompoc subarea to the north and east. The estimated annual depletion of storage averaged 3,000 acre-feet. \r\n\r\nA near balance between inflow and outflow is indicated by a calculated difference of 5,000 acre-feet of accretion and an observed depletion of ground water in storage of about 3,000 acre-feet. The difference of 8,000 acre-feet between the two values, considering the magnitude of total inflow and outflow--110,000 and 105,000 acre-feet, is not significant. For the period of inventory, more water was discharged from the basin by flow in the Santa Ynez River than by pumping from wells. \r\n\r\nThe near balance between inflow and outflow for a period of near-average climatic conditions, in general, substantiates a previous estimate that perennial pumpage is as much as about 20,000 acre-feet. However, water in storage will be depleted if the progressive change in the ratio of irrigation pumpage to other pumpage continues. Even though the hydrologic balance is maintained, changes in chemical quality of the ground water, due to recycling of irrigation water and inflow of poor-quality connate water from the consolidated rocks, indicate that chemical equilibrium has not been reached. Perennial supply under the 1957-62 conditions of inventory is estimated to be between 24,000 and 26,000 acre-feet.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr6642","usgsCitation":"Evenson, R.E., 1966, Hydrologic inventory of the Lompoc subarea, Santa Ynez River basin, Santa Barbara County, California, 1957-62: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 66-42, Report: iv, 27 p.; 1 Plate: 30.86 × 18.94 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr6642.","productDescription":"Report: iv, 27 p.; 1 Plate: 30.86 × 18.94 inches","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":110342,"rank":700,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_52174.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"},"description":"52174"},{"id":86949,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0042/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86948,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0042/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":173956,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1966/0042/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","county":"Santa Barbara County","otherGeospatial":"Santa Ynez River basin","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -120.66284179687499,\n 34.57895241036948\n ],\n [\n -120.3387451171875,\n 34.57895241036948\n ],\n [\n -120.3387451171875,\n 34.70549341022544\n ],\n [\n -120.66284179687499,\n 34.70549341022544\n ],\n [\n -120.66284179687499,\n 34.57895241036948\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b15e4b07f02db6a498c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Evenson, R.
