Quantity and quality of urban runoff from three localities in the Denver Metropolitan area, Colorado
Sherman R. Ellis, William M. Alley
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-64
Considerable variation in constituent concentrations was shown in urban runoff data for 1975-77 from three metropolitan Denver drainage basins. Constituent concentrations, greatest during initial rainfall runoff, generally peaked midday of snowmelt runoff, corresponding with maximum melting and runoff. Instantaneous loads of constituents were largely a function of discharge. Days since...

Clay mineralogy of Pleistocene Lake Tecopa, Inyo County, California
Harry C. Starkey, Paul D. Blackmon
1979, Professional Paper 1061
Pleistocene Lake Tecopa in southeastern Inyo County, Calif., was formed when the Amargosa River was blocked at the southern end of its valley. The lake acted as a settling basin for detrital material being transported by the river. This detritus consisted of clays, quartz, feldspars, and micas which became mudstones...
