Problems in estimating self-supplied industrial water use by indirect methods, the California example
R.J. Burt
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4276
Consumptive fresh-water use by industry in California is estimated at about 230 million gallons per day, or about one-half of one percent of agricultural withdrawals in the State , and only about 1 percent of agricultural consumptive use. Therefore, a significant State-wide realignment of the total water resources could not...
Estimation of earthquake effects associated with a great earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone
Margaret G. Hopper, Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, Ernest E. Dobrovolny
1983, Open-File Report 83-179
Estimates have been made of the effects of a large Ms = 8.6, Io = XI earthquake hypothesed to occur anywhere in the New Madrid seismic zone. The estimates are based on the distributions of intensities associated with the earthquakes of 1811-12, 1843 and 1895 although the effects of other...

Drainage-area data for Wisconsin streams
E.W. Henrich, D.N. Daniel
1983, Open-File Report 83-933
Drainage areas were determined for more than 7,000 sites in Wisconsin's 11 major river basins, including all named streams draining 5 or more square miles, and all unnamed streams draining 10 or more square miles. Also determined are drainage areas for gaging stations, sewage-treatment plants, dams, major highway crossings, and...

Use of rainfall-simulator data in precipitation-runoff modeling studies
G.C. Lusby, R.W. Lichty
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4159
Results of a study using a rainfall simulator to define infiltration parameters for use in watershed modeling are presented. A total of 23 rainfall-simulation runs were made on five small plots representing four representative soil-vegetation types of the study watershed in eastern Colorado. Data for three observed rainfall-runoff events were...

Daily water and sediment discharges from selected rivers of the eastern United States; a time-series modeling approach
Michael G. Fitzgerald, Michael R. Karlinger
1983, Water Supply Paper 2216
Time-series models were constructed for analysis of daily runoff and sediment discharge data from selected rivers of the Eastern United States. Logarithmic transformation and first-order differencing of the data sets were necessary to produce second-order, stationary time series and remove seasonal trends. Cyclic models accounted for less than 42 percent...
