Hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin
B. K. Holmstrom, W.A. Gebert, Ronald G. Borman
1973, Open-File Report 74-1049
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Alder Creek, Iron County, Wisconsin, which are needed by water-resource planners to evaluate a reservoir site proposed by the Whitecap Mountain Corporation on Alder Creek. The hydrologic characteristics estimated were the mean flows, low flows, flood peaks, suspended-sediment...
Floods in the Rock River basin, Iowa
Albert J. Heinitz
1973, Open-File Report 74-1047
This report contains flood information for the Rock River basin in Iowa, it updates and supersedes the 1967 report "Floods in Rock River basin, Iowa" by P. J. Carpenter. The occurrence of an outstanding flood in 1969 and the acquisition of additional flood data in the basin prompted the preparation of...

Evaluation of the ground-water supply at eight sites in Glacier National Park, northwestern Montana
Arnold J. Boettcher
1973, Open-File Report 74-1013
Seven of eight test holes drilled in Glacier National Park derive water from the Quaternary alluvial or glacial deposits. The eighth test hole was dry. Aquifer tests indicated that production wells at the seven sites will yield enough water for domestic or campground uses. Estimated maximum pumping rates range from...

Records of selected water wells and test holes in the Oklahoma Panhandle
George L. Hoffman, Donald L. Hart Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 73-376
Since 1963 use of ground water for irrigation in the Oklahoma panhandle has increased greatly as illustrated by the rapid increase in the number of irrigation wells (fig. 1). Because of increased use of ground water, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, in 1966...
Preliminary report on land-surface subsidence in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch
1973, Open-File Report 73-374
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. One critical area of subsidence is in the area of Burnett, Scott, and Crystal Bays near Baytown. Much of this area...

Velocity and depth measurements for use in computation of reaeration coefficients
John S. Zogorski, Peter W. Anderson, Owen O. Williams
1973, Open-File Report 73-369
Empirical computation of reaeration coefficients generally requires knowledge of mean velocity and mean depth of a stream. A practical method for obtaining this knowledge is described herein. The method involves time-of-travel, streamflow, and cross-sectional measurements, the development of discharge-velocity curves, streamflow profiles, and the computation of cross-sectional areas. Values for...

Flood of September 3, 1972, in Hillsboro, New Mexico
Loyd A. Waite
1973, Open-File Report 73-356
Four deaths, two persons seriously injured, and property damage estimated at $846,500 resulted from a flood that struck the village of Hillsboro, N. Mex. during the early morning hours of September 3, 1972. Hillsboro is situated at the confluence of Percha Creek and its main tributary, North Percha Creek. Heavy rainfall...
Mercury in the Carson and Truckee River basins of Nevada
A. S. Van Denburgh
1973, Open-File Report 73-352
Upstream from major pre-1900 ore milling in the Carson and Truckee River basins, "background" concentrations of total mercury in the upper 1 to 3 inches of sand- to clay-sized stream-bottom sediment are less than 0.1 ug/g (microgram per gram). Downstream, measured concentrations were as much as 200 times the background...

Geohydrology and artificial-recharge potential of the Irvine area, Orange County, California
John A. Singer
1973, Open-File Report 73-264
The Irvine area is in hydraulic continuity with the rest of the coastal plain in Orange County. Factors that distinguish the aquifer section of the Irvine area from that in other parts of the coastal plain are a low permeability, a high clay and silt content, and a thin alluvial...
