Flood profiles and inundated areas along the Lower Nisqually River, Washington
J. E. Cummans
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-42
Nisqually River flood profiles, covering the reach from near the river mouth to river mile 6.4, were developed in a 2-year field study (1970-72) as part of a continuing program with the State of Washington Department of Ecology. The main channel of the reach will convey without overflow discharges as...
Land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch, C.W. Bonnet
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-21
Removal of water, oil, and gas from the subsurface in Harris County has caused declines in fluid pressures, which in turn have resulted in subsidence of the land surface. Subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown is becoming critical because much of the area is...

Movement and dispersion of soluble materials in Salem Creek, Muddy Creek, and Yadkin River between Winston-Salem and Salisbury, North Carolina
K.L. Lindskov
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-6
Wastes entering the Yadkin River from the Winston-Salem area, particularly during heavy rains, resulted in several major fish kills in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The actions undertaken to solve this problem, included the collection of data on the time of travel and dispersion characteristics of the tributaries draining...
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...

Application of statistical techniques to the estimation of ground-water withdrawals in northwestern Kansas
William M. Kastner
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-41
This study was made to determine the accuracy of using readily available data with certain statistical techniques to estimate ground-water withdrawals in western Kansas. The data used in the investigation were from a sample of wells chosen from the total inventoried irrigation wells in nine counties in northwestern Kansas; they...
Mathematical model of San Juan Valley ground-water basin, San Benito County, California
Robert E. Faye
1974, Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-58
A mathematical model study of the San Juan Valley ground-water basin in San Benito County, Calif., has quantitatively described the ground-water hydrology of the basin under past, present, and future conditions of development. An analysis of conditions in the basin prior to large-scale ground-water development indicates that net recharge equaled...
