Estimated permeabilities for soils in the Sacramento Valley, California
Gilbert L. Bertoldi
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-51
Analysis of engineering and hydrologic data from 15 previous soil studies, analysis of particle-size distribution, and analysis of descriptions of soil profiles show that 50 percent of the Sacramento Valley area has soils having permeabilities characterized by infiltration rates of less than 2 feet per day (0.6 meter per day)....
A method for the relative classification of lakes in the State of Washington from reconnaissance data
Gilbert Carl Bortleson, N. P. Dion, James B. McConnell
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-37
The classification system developed allows a rapid assessment of the eutrophic potential and condition of more than 750 Washington lakes and reservoirs. The potential for nutrient enrichment from natural sources is evaluated on the basis of the interactions of physical and hydrologic factors that play a role in controlling the...
Flood of October 1973 in Enid and vicinity, north-central Oklahoma
Roy H. Bingham, DeRoy L. Bergman, Wilbert O. Thomas Jr.
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-27
Heavy and intense rainfall of October 10 and 11, 1973, caused wide-spread flooding along many streams in north-central Oklahoma. This report shows the distribution and amounts of rainfall, and the magnitude and frequency of flood discharges at several sites in the area (sheet 1) and the extent of flooding in...
A method for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in South Dakota
Lawrence D. Becker
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-35
A general flood-frequency analysis has provided a method for estimating flood magnitudes and frequencies on South Dakota streams. Related flood data useful in planning and design also are included in the report.Two distinct hydrologic regions are delineated within the State. The divisional boundary for these regions is, in general, the...
Water quality and streamflow characteristics, Raritan River Basin, New Jersey
Peter W. Anderson, Samuel Denton Faust
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 14-74
The findings of a problem-oriented river-system investigation of the stream-quality and streamflow characteristics of the Raritan River basin (1,105 square miles or 2,862 square kilometers drainage area) are described. The investigation covers mainly the period 1955-72. Precipitation in the basin is classified as ample and averages 47 inches or 120 centimeters...

The 1971 drought in South Florida and its effect on the hydrologic system
Manuel A. Benson, Richard Alfred Gardner
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-12
The 1971 dry season rainfall in south Florida was low enough that the public media and concerned public officials unanimously characterized the event as a severe drought.Rainfall over all of south Florida during the 1970 wet season and the 1970-71 dry season was less than 85 percent of normal, as...

Hydrologic analysis of the Mojave River, California, using a mathematical model
Timothy J. Durbin, W. F. Hardt
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-17
The channel of the Mojave Rive'r in California is normally dry and is highly permeable over much of its length, and large quantities of water from natural floodflows in the channel infiltrate through the channel bed to the underlying ground-water body. From 1930 to 1972 only 18 floods at The...

Limnological study of Lake Shastina, Siskiyou County, California
Alex E. Dong, Kenneth W. Beatty, Robert C. Averett
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-19
Lake Shastina provides water for irrigation in Shasta Valley, as well as recreation. Presently, its shoreline is being developed for summer homes. Surface water constituted more than 90 percent of the approximately 50,000 acre-foot (62-cubic hectometre) inflow to Lake Shastina in the 1972 water year. Controlled outflow is via the...
